Use the Dissonance Apparatus on ten Dwarven constructs
The Coterie of Organized Scholars wants me to test a Dissonance Apparatus on Dwarven constructs in the Scraps. They would also like me to recover a Dwarven heartcog.


Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. (Optional) Talk to Sevros Balu at the Bards College.
  2. Travel to the Scraps.
  3. Use the Dissonance Apparatus on ten Dwarven constructs.
  4. Find the Heartcog.
  5. Return to Tinzen in Solitude.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

One of the Coterie's scholars has requested that an adventurer test their Dissonance Apparatus on Dwarven constructs within the Scraps. They're conducting research on the effect of harmonics on soul-powered automatons, and need this test to be done. The scholar also requests a Heartcog to be retrieved from the ruin.

The Heartcog is located in a Dwarven chest within the southwestern chamber, to the right of the forge behind the Dwarven Spider boss. To get there, take the western path while in the dungeon's first chamber. You can use the Dissonance Apparatus on any ten Dwarven constructs in the delve (including the boss), be it spiders, spheres, an arquebus, a centurion or a sentry. There are also Dissonant Dwarven Spiders, friendly Dwarven Spiders which you can find in small groups of five in most of the large rooms uninhabited by Falmer.

Using the Dissonance Apparatus on a hostile construct stuns it for around seven seconds, allowing you to fight the construct without having to worry about it hitting you back. Using the Dissonance Apparatus on a Dissonant Dwarven Spider kills the construct immediately. There's a 15-second cool down period for the device; you can't use it twice in a row on different constructs, you have to give it a second to rest. Once you've used the device on ten constructs and retrieved the Heartcog, return to Tinzen in Solitude to be rewarded.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
