Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Lydia Cameron wants me to check on her son.
1 of 9: After you talk to her, she'll mark a location on your map called Liam's workshop.
2 of 9: Go there, and go into the building near where you enter.
3 of 9: If you look in the chest nearby, you'll find Liam's journal, which you should keep, a scroll of disperse magic, and a magic trap.
4 of 9: Take all that stuff, and then follow the path right outside of the workshop.
5 of 9: It should lead you around in a loop, where you'll have to fight a couple of lizards (mentioned in the journal) and an arya.
6 of 9: You'll eventually come to Liam's corpse, and a big lizard, whom you'll have to kill.
7 of 9: Once you pass them, you'll come to the portal.
8 of 9: Do what it says in the journal: use either the disperse magic scroll or the magical trap on the portal (put them in a quick item slot) and it will be destroyed.
9 of 9: Now just go back to Lydia and give her the journal for a reward.
