Detailed Walkthrough

Both at the Vale of Tiers and at the wrecked caravan site, Kamid can be intimidated into assisting you.

Notes

• In the Vale of Tiers, if you find and read Kamid's mother Maliah's journal before talking to him, you will already have access to the "Use the Passphrase" optional objective.
• While objective markers point you towards Damaged Factotums in order to obtain a working Animo Core, none will have one, and only the hostile factotums will drop it.
• If you loot a Factotum Beacon in the Vale of Tiers, a nearby Factotum Analyst emits a warning, approaches you and self-combusts, dealing moderate fire damage, indicated by a growing circular AoE.
• Gear Grinder won't exist at the caravan wreck before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
• It's possible to dig up the treasure without alerting and having to fight Gear Grinder.
• After completing the quest, the lorebook Thoughts of the Honored Assistant appears in Slag Town Outlaws Refuge, on top of a crate. It gives the code necessary to get the Fortune and Fate achievement

Bugs

• After looting the damaged or intact animo cores from the Damaged Factotums, they disappear completely. ^?

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.
