I was randonly exploring when i came upon this, i must say that it was quite a fun place, but that aside... what the hell kind of key do i need in order to make this mechanism work? I don't recall finding anything of the kind as i explored the ruins (wich btw, where the only one that actually made me use the torch i had, it's quite fun exploring dark areas.


So does someone know?

it is part of the main quest. dont want to give too much away

Oh i see.. i guess i found this way too early =X, i usually explore alot before doing the main quest. Anyways thanks.

How did you get back OUT to do the Septimus Signus' Outpost quest if you went there inadvertently while exploring? I'm trapped. I tried to go back, but I'm trapped at the bottom of the little cliff you have to jump off of (onto the pipes).

I think if you go all the way through the cathedral, there's a place with a lever to take you back to the surface. I'm not 100% sure ('cause I went, um, to the other place from there yesterday instead) though.

It's worth clearing out early and opening up the lift. This way, you don't have to drudge through it when it's time. Use the lift on arrival when it's time and get down to business!

I don't understand your message at all. Is there a lift to get me back up top?

I think its not a spoiler and very important for me to add simply, and remember this. Take the Lexicon, It will come together.

I have no idea what you're saying. I did find a lift or three, but the problem is that place is Gargantuan. I don't have the time to look around for each one again.

Why are you playing a game that requires the time to do such a thing then?

Are you kidding? I who has time to go back and search through every area? I could just use the 'coc' command, but I was hoping for a little love.
