Gear Knight Parts

Walk Through

 * 1) Speak to Nurino in Xarabydun (you will not be able to pick up the first item if you have not spoken to him).
 * 2) * Route: Portal to Xarabydun at 21.8S, 1.4W in Yaraq.
 * 3) Travel to the Thug Hideout and in the final boss room there are brick wall doors on the east and west sides activated by bookcases in the NE and NW corners of the room. Use the NE bookcase to enter the west side and pick up the Pile of random parts from the altar.
 * 4) * Route: Mayoi to Vesayen Overlook Settlement Portal (60.8S, 80.3E) to the dungeon at 65.8S, 77.2E.
 * 5) Next use the NW bookcase to enter the east side passage. When you get to the doorway wait for the bridge then all cross the bridge to the center platform (the door behind you will close as soon as you attack The Unknown Warrior. His sword can be debuffed. When he dies he will disappear and several Thug Bosses will spawn, kill them.
 * 6) Move across the bridge to the north when present, not much further you will find a room with the five pieces of Armor of Darkness. Pick up the item of your choice (the initial timer is six weeks, but will be decreased to 2 weeks the following patch).
 * 7) Return to Xarabydun and give Nurino the Pile of random parts. He will instruct you to travel to Lord Rytheran's Private Sanctum. If you have not previously done the quest Lord Rytheran's Journal, you may need to begin it to gain entrance.
 * 8) Take the Neydisa Castle portal in Holtburg then run to 74.7N 18.5E and use the statue (not either of the two portals next to the statue).

Lore & Dialog
Town Crier tells you, "Have you spoken to Nurino the Arcanum researcher above Xarabydun? He thinks there are clues about the nature of the clockwork soldiers, or Gear Knights as he calls them, in the cave where the desperados threatening Baishi and Lin were holed up."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nurino? Nice guy, but I think the fumes from Xarabydun are getting to him. A suit of armor fell on him in the royal palace and now he thinks he sees 'Gear Knights' everywhere. Take it from me, he's crazy, and I know crazy."

Nurino tells you, "Greetings." Nurino tells you, "My name is Nurino. I am a researcher for the Arcanum who specializes in ancient constructs.  I've recently heard both rumors and reports of some strange parts being seen that could be a portion of some ancient form of Golem.  I would be very interested in piecing together the truth of these rumors, and if they are true, piecing together this Golem itself." Nurino tells you, "The majority of the reports have come from adventurers who were dealing with some problem with thugs. I sent a scout to look in the areas reported, but the pieces seem to have been moved.  Perhaps the pieces can be found wherever these thugs have gone?"

You give Nurino Pile of random parts. Nurino tells you, "Fascinating!" Nurino tells you, "These appear to be exceptionally advanced when compared even to the most intricate Empyrean Golems. I've never seen anything like this." Nurino sets the large gear aside and examines the head very carefully. Nurino tells you, "There seems to be a great deal of interlocked parts in this head..." Nurino tells you, "What's this? Some sort of socket?  Hmmm..." Nurino pulls out a book, flipping quickly through the pages and comparing diagrams to the socket in the head. Nurino tells you, "It just might work..." Nurino tells you, "In my studies, I've heard of a gem that should fit in this socket. The last known owner of this gem was the undead, Rytheran.  As, last I heard, he was having problems in the Direlands, why don't you go, um, explore for this gem in his Library.  if you happen to find this strange gem, and happen to accidently pocket it and return to me, we can see if I can make this golem function."

Nurino tells you, "You should begin your search for the Mana Gem in Rytheran's Library. It's the only place where I've heard reports of a gem that matches the general dimensions of the socket I found in the head of this golem-like contraption."

Nurino tells you, "Were you able to retrieve the gem from Rytheran's Library?" You give Nurino Strange Mana Gem. Gelidite's Gift has expired. Nurino tells you, "Beautiful! It looks like it'll fit!" Nurino flips the head over in his hand, working the gem into the socket with the other. Nurino tells you, "Now, we'll see if this works..." With a whirring click, the head begins to generate small internal lights and a crackling sound. The Gear Knight Head yells, "Have at thee!" The Gear Knight Head yells, "This is one Gear Knight you won't defeat so easily!" The Gear Knight Head says, "Oh, where am I?" The Gear Knight Head begins to spit out sparks. The Gear Knight Head says, "Initiating diagnostic scan... Massive internal and external damage.  Missing 95% of systems.  Status: Critical." The Gear Knight Head says, "Well, this is unfortunate..." The Gear Knight Head spits out a gout of sparks and smoke. The Gear Knight Head says, "Seek the *crack* book! Lyceum... Knorr... Tome.  Directions... for *fizzle* Healing... Us." The Gear Knight Head says, "Aetherium Core Failure. Shutting down..." Nurino tells you, "Oh my..." Nurino tells you, "This seems to be a lot more than a Golem." Nurino tells you, "If I could garner your assistance once again, I was wondering if you could go retrieve this tome the Gear Knight head mentioned. If it still exists, it could be the key to bringing this being back." Nurino tells you, "If this book is a guide for these beings, these Gear Knights, then it was likely a highly valued tome. Things of such an occult nature were usually stored, as I've been told by other adventurers who've been there, in the deeper sections of the Lyceum." Nurino tells you, "If you could find your way into the Lyceum of Knorr, and find this occult tome, we may be able to unravel this mystery once and for all." Nurino tells you, "I'll be here if you need me, seeing what I can make of these parts..."

Nurino tells you, "Before it... fizzled, the head noted the existence of a book in the Lyceum of Knorr. I leave it up to you to find your way to Knorr and retrieve this occult tome." Nurino tells you, "Look in the deeper sections. The more valued an item was in the Lyceum, the deeper in it was placed."
