Walkthrough
- 1Head to the top of the area where Valgash's secret weapon awaits
- 2Talk to the dwarf in front of the blue robot — A.T.A.G. tutorial activates automatically
- 3Mount the A.T.A.G. robot from the back like you would a horse
- 4Go downhill to the practice grounds
- 5Destroy 15 practice targets — use the rapid-fire gatling gun for efficiency
- 6Return to the dwarf and speak with him
- 7Accompany an Orc artisan character
- 8Pull the lever beside the gate to fully activate the A.T.A.G. and complete the quest
Tips
- The A.T.A.G. is powerful but runs out of ammo — switching to melee is necessary
- Gatling gun is fastest for practice targets — use rockets only on tougher enemies
- The 15 target count tracks progress — continue until the counter reaches 0%
- Don't abandon the A.T.A.G. too early — use it until it's destroyed to minimize footwork
- Mounting the robot is the same as mounting a horse — approach from the rear and interact
NPCs Involved
- Dwarf Technician
- Orc Artisan
- Valgash
