Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Theodore wants me to get his mechanized plate.
1 of 8: If your only weapons are spells, then this quest is a little hard. If you have some decent Melee fighters in your group, it's easy.
2 of 8: After you get the quest, enter the house next to Theodore.
3 of 8: Inside, you'll run into a mechanized arachnid that poisons you if it hits you. It's not really too difficult for anyone to kill.
4 of 8: Then go down the trap door.
5 of 8: In the basement, the big crate will explode, and a level 30 automaton will come out.
6 of 8: This guy's pretty annoying for mages, or anyone for that matter, due to his very high amount of HP. Disintegrate still works if you have it, though.
7 of 8: Once you kill it, pick up the plate from one of the containers in the back of the room.
8 of 8: Bring it back to Theodore for your reward, or keep it if it's better than what you have. Your choice.
