Look for Sister Sam ( -688, 130, 940 ) Copy/waypoint -688, 130, 940 in the Steamfont Mountains. She will attack you. After you defeat her, she will give you an activable sparring partner. Examine the clockwork and defeat it.
Find some way to fix the broken clockwork sparring partner by finding Julius ( -611, 175, 993 ) Copy/waypoint -611, 175, 993 in the Gnomeland Security Headquarters up the climbable wall near Sam. You will need 10g to pay him to fix the clockwork.
