What does this information mean?
Steps[]
- Speak to Artificer Hodges. Hodges may be found hiding behind a barrel ( -174, -2, 144 ) after killing Old Doclin in the Stone Mercantile District.
- Note: As of 2023, if you are running an agnostic dungeon version of this, you might see a feather but no Artificer Hodges. You do not have to speak with him. You can skip to the next step and complete the quest as described.
- Collect 5 empty flow-through phylacteries in the Stone Mercantile District near Artificer Hodges. (They look like yellow power cells.)
a flow-through phylactery
- Acquire large Malduran crystal shards in the Alcove of Reason.
- Click on the shard container ( -87, 13, 178 ) to activate the spidermech defenders.
shard container
- Kill all of the spidermech defenders to spawn X-O Arachmech. Loot the bodies if doing the Saga quest!
- Kill X-O Arachmech and loot an X-Electro-charged battery. (It's possible that X-O will fall below the terrain on it's death, especially if it's killed in the water, preventing the battery from being looted. If this happens, exit the instance and then re-enter to receive a new battery)
- Insert the X-Electro-charged battery into the shard container to receive the large Malduran crystal shards.
- Click on the shard container ( -87, 13, 178 ) to activate the spidermech defenders.
- Kill Stonerend.
- Go downstairs to the Waterworks: Aquifer Pumping Station ( 52, -7, 165 ) .
- Immobilize Stonerend by killing any three of the four Dark Gears summoners. These necromancers start out non-aggro. Do not cast anything on the named, singular focus is your friend.
- Stay clear of the named, wait for a white circle to appear, then run to it and click to place a crystal shard there. Run out, and allow Stonerend to crush the crystals. He will take 20% damage each time, the 5th time you do that the remaining Dark Gear Summoner will attack you, kill him and Stonerend will fall apart.
- Fill the phylacteries.
- Go back upstairs and destroy Black Bolt's force shield.
- Place the 5 phylacteries at marked places along the the bottom of the shield.
Place the filled phylactery
- Once all 5 are placed, the quest is finished and you can kill the 3 undead mobs:
- Undying Technician
- Undying Mechanic
- Undying Apprentice
- Place the 5 phylacteries at marked places along the the bottom of the shield.
