Description
There are two types of clockworks to deal with on this plane, some with anvils for hands
(Model XXXVI), and some that shoot arrows. Both types have a stun chance in melee. Clockworks
cannot be poisoned or diseased, are completely immune to all fire effects, take
partial damage from most spells, and have a high armor rating. However, explosions still hurt
them, they move slowly, and cold effects still work and slow them down even more. Arrow
clockworks are decent in melee but are excellent ranged attackers. When they start a volley
of arrows, block until they are finished. Anvil clockworks have a chance to explode when they
die, which also sets off nearby bombs. If you see and hear their head rotate around and then
they start wobbling, get away from it. Even though arrow clockworks do this animation, they
will never explode. It’s no surprise that it is best to use ranged attacks against anvil
clockworks and melee against arrow clockworks if spells are not effective.
Soon after starting this area you will encounter a gnome named Nitram speaking in
techno-babble. He tells you that he wishes he had the last Copper Sprocket on the plane for
some unknown gnomish reason, and by the way, if he had it then Giwin the other gnome
wouldn’t be able to finish the giant siege engine of death he is building that Firiona
sent you here to stop. Further on near the portal you will find Giwin wondering where
he left the Copper Sprocket. He would have more to say if you were helping the bad guys.
Eventually you will find the Copper Sprocket but not until the end of the plane when you take
it away from a giant siege engine of death.
Most Efficient Route
Take the first right; then double back. Continue forward and then take the next left. Go right
at the portal, and at the end of that route, gate back to the hub and portal back. Take the
left passage this time, explore the room after the 2nd save point, and then follow the left wall
to the exit.
Fastest Route
As you come to forks, go left, then right. Go left at the portal and left at the 2nd save point.
After leaving that room, follow the right wall to the exit.
