Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Where am I trying to go down here?
1 of 9: Vendigroth is basically just a really big dungeon, guarded by spider kin, and later by automatons.
2 of 9: For each level, there is a key you'll find that opens the only locked door on the level.
3 of 9: Of course, you can always pick the lock on that door if you want.
4 of 9: To go down to the next level, you'll have to use the grate-looking shafts (usually behind the locked door).
5 of 9: Once you get down to the fourth level, you'll find that you can't go down any farther. (You'll know you're in that level if you come across a big altar near the entrance.)
6 of 9: In that level, there is a very large building, which you can enter.
7 of 9: Go in, killing automatons if you wish. Technologists can find some interesting schematics and lots of technological objects in here.
8 of 9: Just go down the stairs in the northern part of the area to reach a small basement where the Vendigroth device is housed.
9 of 9: Once you have the device, just go back to Roseborough and to the Ring of Brodgar, where Nasrudin will be waiting to transport you to the void.
