Skyrim: Lost in the ages. Ether's Forge

Forge Eteria is a lost Dwemer construction that can be found in the vastness of Skyrim. Available in the Dawnguard update.

History of Forge

At the time of the heyday of the Dwemer state, this complex was built for the manufacture of various items, which are based on the etherium.

The creation of the smithy, its design and implementation involved the most outstanding Dwemer engineers from the cities of Mzulfa, Batar-Zela, Arktnamza, Raldbthara. According to the game, you need to visit these Dwemer ruins to find the key fragments that you need to connect.

In the Dwemer days, these city-states became victims of their own greed and were involved in a civil war between other cities. This led to the weakening and significant decline of the ancient Dwemer culture. Their fate was decided, for at that time the first Nords had invaded Tamriel.

Eteria's forge was hastily sealed and hidden from prying eyes.

Dear, and where is the forge of Eteria?

The task can be obtained by meeting the ghost of the traveler Katriya in the ruins of Arctnamza. The girl will tell about her quest, the hero will receive the quest "Lost in the ages".

This can be found near the city of Aivarsted in the location of the Ruins of Balthaft. This city was built by the Dwemeras as part of a huge complex, but because of the war it was not finished, fell into decay and collapsed.

Traveling around the game world carries many adventures and surprises. This is Skyrim. Eteria's forge is securely hidden. On the surface is a pedestal in the form of a ball pierced by an arrow bordered by two rings.

In the pedestal you need to insert the found fragments of the key, which will connect and open the corridor in the dungeon, where the smithy.

Eteria

"Skyrim" is rich in all sorts of materials for research and making something. However, etery is considered something of a curiosity. This crystal can not be melted, processed, or enchanted. It can not even be smashed.

And only Dwemer found a way to handle it by building their forge.

The elevator is going down

When the protagonist inserts the ester key in the pedestal, a small earthquake will begin and the ghost of Kathrya will advise to step aside.

From the side you can see how the high tower will appear from the ground, at the base of which there is a lever that activates the elevator, which will take the dovakin to the dungeons, where the forge of the Eteria was sealed by the Dwemer centuries ago, so it was perfectly preserved in its original form.

The entrance to the smithy is not far from the site of descent, but the door does not have a keyhole. Katriya suggests that you need to shoot a bow on two Dwemer resonators, which are slightly higher. Mechanisms will open the door.

In the forge itself, you need to cut off the steam supply to use the design itself. On the right and left of the entrance are the valves, the actions over which are able to solve this problem.

In the form of a "security system" of their device, the Dwemer left here a number of mechanisms, such as the Dwemer Sphere and the Dwemer Spider. And also from the lava lake will be Master Kuznets - a huge Dwemer centurion, which has resistance to fire. It is recommended to arm yourself with something that damages the cold, and also use potions that increase resistance to fire, because the centurion attacks the flames.

From the body of the defeated mechanism one can take:

• The core of the centurion generator;
• Filled or empty stone souls (great);
• gems;
• Dwemer oil.

Working with the smithy

Use Dwemer car only once - the forge of Eteria allows you to forge one of three unique items:

1. The aetheric crown is an item that allows you to use simultaneously two activated additional reinforcements from the guardian stones. Usually when you take a bonus from one stone, the bonus from another burns out. It will be useful for players for a quick pumping of the character - you can activate the stones, which help increase the experience.
2. Eterievy magical staff - when used calls for 60 seconds Dwemer Spider and Dwemer Sphere. Useful only at the initial levels, as higher-level opponents will cope with these Dwemer mechanisms in one stroke.
3. The aetheric shield is a useful item for warriors who prefer to quickly run past the crowd of enemies to the target. By striking the shield, the enemy turns into a ghost for 15 seconds. In this state, the enemy can not attack and take damage.

Most often, players prefer the crown.

Interesting

In the process of completing the quest, you can get Zephyr - Dwemer's bow, which was owned by Katriya. You can find it in Arkntamze on a tree hanging over an abyss. You should be careful: the onion can fall into a violent river stream and will be lost.

The lava lake from which the Master Blacksmith comes out can be overcome with the help of potions of fire resistance and spells that replenish health. On the other side you can find a chest with valuable items, as well as two corridors, each leading to treasures.
