This was Lucian Vaunt's office and personal laboratory - until the massive explosion that destroyed his forge. The explosion that destroyed Vaunt's forge seems to have left this area mostly untouched. A blood-stained note lies near a fresh corpse.

- Pull the large floor lever to power the puzzle.
- If you're just looking for quest completion, solve it towards the stairs up.
- Optional: You can use the puzzle to lower the first barrier, which releases some metallic dogs and security constructs; they guard a Locked chest.

- At the end fight:
- Defeat several waves of forgewraiths and ultimately a red named forgewraith.
