Objectives
Destroy the Corrupted Golem and recover Foreman Arbauch's memory gem.
Description
Decommissioning a machine is a rare necessity. It must be done with care and regret.
We put much of ourselves into our work. To destroy it is to destroy a part of ourselves. In doing so, we admit our failure to protect the Titans' work. But where stone rebels against stone, we must stand firm.
Imperative: Destroy it. Recover Arbauch's memory gem.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 46 80
- 13,600 XP
- +500 reputation with The Assembly of the Deeps or 180 [Resonance Crystals]
Progress
Regret. This should have been my burden.
Completion
There is no joy in the death of a machine, but I express gratitude. I suspect Arbauch would too.
His decisions were his own, but none can doubt that he devoted his life to the machines. The Titans would be proud.
Notes
Upon approaching the Corrupted Golem at a cave in the Living Grotto:
- Danagh's Cogwalker says: What is it doing with the memory gem? Stop it!
- Corrupted Golem yells: Attempting memory insertion.
- The golem is surrounded by Dormant Golems and attempting "memory insertion" on them.
- Corrupted Golem yells: Failure. Memory vessel incompatible.
Upon engaging the golem in combat:
- Corrupted Golem yells: Scanning target.
- Corrupted Golem yells: Error: incompatible memory vessel. Priority: protect gem.
- During combat some Dormant Golems will get activated by the Corrupted Golem becoming Unstable Golems and attack.
- Corrupted Golem yells: PROTECT GEM PROTECT SPEAKER PROTECT GEM.
Upon defeat:
- Corrupted Golem says: Protect gem. Protect speaker. Protect...
- Danagh's Cogwalker says: Was it trying to fit the gem into a new vessel? Did it think that would bring Arbauch back?
- Danagh's Cogwalker says: If only that were true. Come, I will wait at Camp Murroch.
Upon returning to Danagh, he has new gossip:
Did the golem think it could save him? Fighting its own corrupted instructions, even after killing him... I have served the machines for many years, and still I do not fully understand them.
Upon completion:
- Danagh says: Boundless gratitude, <name>. I will bring Arbauch's memory gem to the archive.
- Danagh says: DelGizmo. Your reluctant assistance proved invaluable.
- Clive DelGizmo says: How invaluable we talkin'?
- Danagh says: You have my gratitude. That is all.
