Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Powering the Waygate - The Makers' Overlook
We cannot stop now, <race>. You've triggered the first switch, but one remains. The titans constructed a second vantage point where they oversaw their creations. You'll find it to the east, high in the mountains. Pull the activation switch theta inside the overlook and the waygate will open.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Activation Rune
This colossal being appears to be inactive. You notice an empty rune-shaped slot on its chest. Perhaps you might be able to find the missing rune inside the nearby overlook.
