- 2Proceed to the room containing the Thermal Power Plant machine

- 4Find the cube with a circle drawn on it at the bottom right

Tips

- The lantern is used to illuminate the target cube, not just for light
- Kicking the cube is essential — you must trigger the lever drop from above
- Valgash will wait for you — don't panic if you miss steps initially
- This is purely a puzzle-solving quest — no combat or time pressure
NPCs Involved
