Dwemer machine in dead guy's basemant? : V - Skyrim

» Sun Feb 03, 2013 7:59 pm

Could anyone provide a screenshot/s of that machine? The answer could simplier than we think.
If there's a way after that machine, we know it's not a bogus.

Has anyone used that Steam helmet or used both fire + ice spells?

Mabe we need heart stones? UESP says there are 2 heart stone deposits nearby.
Just throwing some ideas.

Observation 1: One would think the damage to the house was from Red Mountain, like the rest of the island? However the main damage is on the wrong side of the house...

Observation 2: Torches/Flame spells have no direct effect.

O3: There seems to beno way of controlling the 'machine' from this side.

O4: The mini-map ends behind the 'machine'....

O5: The map marks this location as cleared after dealing with the bandits... Maybe there is nothing here after all?

I have Heart Stones in my inventory when I am there, but there is no control panel or anything to put them in to suggest that anything like that could activate the machine.

OK so I loaded up a different character and headed straight for Solstheim, and, sure enough, it is Hrodulf's body down by the boat (head south from his house). His body had disappeared on my other character save for some reason (maybe Serana revived himidk). He has nothing on his body except his clothes and shoes, and the boat has a chest and apothecary satchel next to it. There's blood on the chest and in the blood but that's it. Nothing related to the Dwarven ruin or anything.

I assume the hanging basket thing is just a light? Going from my observations above, I don't think there is anything else here if that is even a machine at all :/

This is one of the interesting things about DB being xbox only. On PC, someone'd have cracked it in the editor or used the console by now and there'd be no mystery :biggrin:

I think we have to found Hrodulf, there's nothing to do in the house.

Isn't Hrodulf the dead person on the floor by the machine??

meanwhile at bethesda... "look at these fools trying to make since out of something that means nothing to the game haha! job well done guys!" :biggrin:

Ahhhh...closure! Thanks! There is still the question in my mind about the local map showing more room beyond the machine, though.

No that's Bjornolfr.

No, it is his lover who traveled there to come rescue him albeit a little too late.

Thanks can ypu post more shots from the sides and general view? OH and the map view!

Also does anybody tried looking for some small Dwemer details around the place? Like on the walls?

Other options: Bend Will on it?

maybe somebody use Vampire Powers(Echolocation?), Aura Whisper and Undead/Life Detection.
Then we would now where and IF these "badboys" are hiding:D

Nope, Hrodulf is dead by a boat south of his house. I guess maybe the Reavers got him or something.

It actually looks like the back of something, or something on its side. But the pipes confuse me, where do they go and where do they come from. Usually books give hints and ideas. The only hints are rumbling, which I did not hear, 2 shovels and a pick. Do you have to equip the shovel and or pick?

» Mon Feb 04, 2013 8:36 am

Thanks.

None of these work - tried just this second.

You have something there. If you look at the thing, it does look like just a cap on a steam tube or pipe, like in any Dwarven ruin, and nothing to suggest it is a "machine" at all.

Again, I hope I am wrong but the 'machine' seems too... 'built in' to do anything. Where did we get 'machine' from?
