Why wont the dwarven armillary activate




















Each of the dwarven pedestals atop the ramp rotate one of the three horizontal ceiling panels. The trick is to press the button on each pedestal so the panels shift sideways until one of the blue mirrors lines up with the light beam. The beam then ricochets off and up to the ceiling mirror. When all three light beams hit the ceiling, you know the Oculary is focused properly. I am doing everything right, using hot and cold spells to complete the "Focus the Oculory" quest.

The problem I am having is that no matter what spell I try to use ice or fire the oculory won't move. At the top of the ramp, fight another leveled Falmer, and then two more in the room through an open doorway to the north.

A gate to the north opens into an empty room. The way forward is through the smaller connected room to the east. Ahead, there is another dead Synod researcher, and if they hear you, you might encounter two more Falmer here, one of which will be the highest-level variant you can encounter at your level, and the second will likely be nearly as strong.

Your next left leads into a cavern containing another Falmer hut, and another dead Synod researcher near the doorway. The tunnel out is along the north wall, but be prepared to meet another chaurus in the next room. Further on, you will face a high-leveled Falmer in a room with a master-locked door leading to a chest and a copy of the Alteration skill book The Lunar Lorkhan. On the table is a key that will open an expert-locked door just ahead. Continue west until you come to a large rectangular hall divided by a shallow pool.

On the far side of the pool await two leveled Falmer. Another researcher lies just before the door in the northeast corner leading to Mzluft Aedrome. After a lengthy and adventurous journey, go through the door to the third interior area, Mzulft Aedrome. Ascend the ramp and near the top you will find a leveled Falmer and a chaurus. Continue toward a large, multi-leveled room that can be accessed through either of two open doorways.

Inside prowl four leveled Falmer, including one of the strongest variant you will find at your level, and one that will be carrying the focusing crystal mentioned in Gavros's research log.

You need to obtain the crystal to complete the quest. Your objective marker will point westward from here, but you should first obtain a key that you will need. To do this, leave the room through the doorway to the east and descend the ramp, then open the door at the bottom.

Cross the next room and open another door leading eastward. Proceed until you reach a room containing two dead Falmer. Beyond the next door to the east waits a Dwarven automaton. It can be a Dwarven Centurion of the strongest type you can confront at your level. A Centurion on the other side will not be able to fit through the door to attack you up close, whether the machine breaks open the door or you open the door first.

Keeping a distance makes it easy to dodge its steam attacks and pick at the machine with your own ranged attacks. After destroying it, obtain the Mzulft Observatory key from the chest on the east side of the room. Retrace your steps westward, back into the large room where you battled the four Falmer. Climb the stairs to the west and open the door there with the Observatory key. Beyond this, there is another locked door which you cannot open.

When you try to do so, however, you will hear a voice from the other side, and the door will be opened by Paratus Decimius , a Synod member who is expecting Gavros, the dying man you met upon entering the ruin. Paratus will be suspicious of you; but whatever the course of your conversation, when he finds out that you have the focusing crystal, he will agree to work together with you and ask you to follow him.

You will note in your quest journal that you have reached the Oculory and that your plan now is to follow Paratus to investigate further. As he leads you forward, Paratus will explain that the Synod happened on this machine created by the Dwarves for unknown purposes, and that the Synod now intends to try to use it toward some different end.

Ascend a curved ramp along a giant sphere, but be careful not to fall off, as doing so can cause you to become stuck. At the top, Paratus will marvel at the magnificence of the device there and ask you to place the crystal into the central apparatus.

When you have done so, the ring will rotate so that the focusing crystal is positioned at the top. Your objective will become to "Focus the Oculory". You will now have two objective markers, one pointing at the device in the center of the room and another at an elevated control console at the southeast part of the room.

You can ask Paratus what to do next. Paratus will indicate that you should direct some fire and frost spells onto the crystal to change the way that it bends the light beams projected by the device. If you look upward, you will see that the device receives one beam of light vertically, and splits it into three beams projected in various upward directions. The ultimate goal is to converge all of the beams into a pattern that will project an image on the wall below the control console. When the Oculory is correctly focused, Paratus will be initially excited, but then begin to exclaim with distress that there is something wrong.

He will communicate that the map should show more, and speculate that there is some kind of interference coming from Winterhold. He may accuse you of attempting to stall his work and suspiciously ask if you knew what they are trying to do. Paratus will be looking at a map projected onto the wall under the control console. Speak to him and he will accuse you of trying to sabotage the Synod's efforts and demand that you explain yourself.

Whatever the course of the ensuing conversation, Paratus will ask if—or assume that—you have something "powerful" at your college. He will be suspicious about this and toward you, stating that he will be reporting the information to the Synod Council. You'll learn that the Synod intended to use the device to scan the continent for powerful sources of magic, "for the good of the Empire".

One way or another, Paratus will let you know that the map indicates that the Staff of Magnus is in Labyrinthian. You must now report this information to the Arch-Mage, Savos Aren. You may now take a shortcut exit or return the long way back through the ruin. To take the shortcut, leave the room containing the Oculory.

A short distance ahead, just past the barrels in the hallway, there is an exit door to the right. If you turn toward it, Nerien , the Psijic Order member who appeared to you in Saarthal, will visit you again. He will warn you that you will encounter difficulties ahead, but assure you that you are on the right path and that you will prevail. Keep me logged in on this device.

Does anyone actually know how to properly do this? It's probably something really simple that will make me feel super stupid, but I just can't figure this out for the life of me. User Info: Solraid Solraid 10 years ago 5 It takes some trial and error, just make sure that the beams are completely centered on each rotating ring.

User Info: unbalancedego unbalancedego 10 years ago 6 I took a few tries, but there is definately a sweet spot that aligns the three beams with each ring. User Info: askpeevies askpeevies Topic Creator 10 years ago 7 I know that, but you're supposed to get the beams in the middle of the blue bars first right? User Info: mikepav85 mikepav85 10 years ago 9 freeze it all the way. Happy 10th Birthday, Skyrim!

Showing our 70 year old dad skyrim. Does anyone else start multiple profiles to play as a team of Dragonborns? My probably cruddy opinion on mods. Side Quest. Is there a mod where you can leave Helgen with both Hadvar and Ralof?

Main Quest. Console Command to Remove Vampirism? Tech Support.
