A word of advice for those doing this chapter. Once here, you get 3 quests, this is one of them.
PICK UP ALL 6 AUTOMA and do the other quests FIRST BEFORE TURNING THIS IN. The DAMAGE these little fellas do is HUGE. Be mindfull that you get 5 minutes (from the last one picked) to return them to the circle near Firim.

You're welcome.

Description

Giants litter these sands, mortal. But I believe we can revitalize them. The smaller automa that are hiding in the desert can be utilized here. Use my Motivator to rally them to our cause. If we can gather enough, their energy can replenish these defeated behemoths to bolster our forces. Return as many as you can to me, and we will put them to work!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keys To VictoryZereth Mortis · Level 60

    The song... incomplete. Harmony is needed. Seek those who scry. Send them to serve the cycle. Mawsworn hold the keys that bind. Take the keys, set them free.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cleaving A PathZereth Mortis · Level 60

    Maw Walker! My scouts report that the Mawsworn have dominated two automa Oracles to aid them in battle. These Oracles will most certainly predict our strategy and our ultimate goal, if given the chance. We need to eliminate both Oracles before we enter the Crypts.
