Fahlbtharz



 is located up the hill and to the east of the Water Stone in Solstheim. The entrance is guarded by Rieklings (×3).

As a Dwemer ruin the premises are overrun with Dwarven Spheres (×2), Dwarven Spiders (×12), Dwarven Ballistas (×4), Dwarven Centurions (×2), Oil Spiders (×4) and Albino Spiders (×2).

Fahlbtharz Corridor
Short corridor leading up to the next higher level of rotating gears.

Fahlbtharz Boilery
A slightly tricky puzzle awaits, trying to set the pressure of the boiler to its optimum level.

Fahlbtharz Grand Hall
Finally passing a three-switch gate the Visage of Mzund and a Kagrumez Resonance Gem can be found. The latter is connected to The Kagrumez Gauntlet, but can be picked up before taking on that quest.

An elevator exits to the top of the Solstheim mountains.

Switchboard
In the main part of Fahlbtharz two rows of five switches, require some trial and error testing:
 * Top row does (left to right): Open/close entry gate; calls a Dwarven spider; activates a floor blade; calls another spider; and another spider.
 * Bottom row: flame on left of board; open/close tiny room door behind Dragonborn; floor blade directly behind; opens the gate to continue; and use?.

Boiler Control
The boiler pressure is indicated by a ring of lights arranged in a circle, a total of 20 such lights exist, indicating the optimum pressure that needs to be set to unlock the next gate.

There are a total of six resonators (three on the left and another three on the right) that need to be shot at with a bow to activate. From left to right they activate 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, and 18 blue lights on the board. Ulyn's Journal will help slightly.

The goal is to turn on exactly 20 lights, and the only combination to do so is to shoot the resonators for 3, 4, and 13. So the left two on the left, and the middle one on the right.

Actuators
The three actuators switches require two additional Centurion Dynamo Cores, so take out those centurions and loot them. Then put the cores into the empty switches to unlock the gate.
