Take care of him, then search the chest in the room for the observatory key and trace your steps back to the locked door. Be sure that you do not attempt to get up close and personal with the centurion master as he does have a power close range smash in addition to his frost breath. A good way to kill him is to summon a flame atronarch, lead your companion inside, then close the door on them. Then keep opening the door and sending in flame atronarchs. Take note that the centurion cannot open doors, but if left alone, may be able to pass through if the door is open.
Just past that door you find another locked door that requires a key, but there's a voice on the other side who thinks you're Gavros, the dead Synod member you found at the entrance. He opens the door for you and converses with you about Gavros and the crystal and the staff. If you took the crystal off the Falmer in the previous room, then you can now follow Paratus to the Oculary.
Do not attack Paratus - he will not die and you will not be able to complete the mission. Video Walkthrough Part Three. You'll need to activate the Oculary, which places the crystal in it. After placing the Lens in the Oculary, equip your Frostbite spell , and hit the lens 3 times, the necessary spell tomes are behind the control panel if you need them then use the bank of 3 control panels at the top of the stairs, overlooking the Lens.
Each control panel rotates a ceiling ring clockise. Move the rings until the beams of light are reflected by the big blue gem in each ring. This will lead to a heated discussion with the NPC, but ends in you finding out that you need to travel to Labrynthian to gain the Staff of Magnus. At this point it is safe to kill him, if you wish to do so. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published. Related wikiHows How to. How to. Co-authors: 3.

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. This section contains bugs related to Focusing Crystal. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:. Elder Scrolls Explore. Elder Scrolls Online. Events Characters Factions Locations Concepts.
