Background

One of Sweatcog’s automatons is malfunctioning badly, and it needs to be stopped before it does any serious harm.

Walkthrough

You’ll receive this quest from Sweatcog near the entrance to the Crytps of the Sacred Blood (#1).

Destroy Sweatcog’s Automaton

You’ll find the automaton back the way you came (#2). You’ll know you’re getting close to it when you draw your weapon. The automaton will be all by itself, so just start healing and dodging if you get into trouble.

Talk to Sweatcog

After destroying the automaton, when you return to Sweatcog, you’ll receive 537 xp and roughly 1000 coins. Sweatcog will then give you the follow-up quest Proof of Sabotage.
