## Preview

The player is tasked with finding and subduing a defective Guard Golem to stop it from attacking or destroying anything.

## Stage 1

» Speak with Duvale at [-1613, 51, -4964]

**Dialogue:**

* **Duvale:** Oh, you there! I wasn't expecting a human soldier to be here, but you've come at a perfect time. I could use some help, see.
* **Duvale:** I'm certain you know about Guard Golems, yes? They're manufactured here in Gavel, and I bought one recently.
* **Duvale:** The goblins keep trying to forage in my farms, you see- I needed something to keep them out, and a Golem would have been perfect.
* **Duvale:** But, shortly after I activated it, the thing attacked me! I nearly got killed- It was ramming itself against boulders and walls...
* **Duvale:** I obviously was sold a defective model... That golem is a danger to everything around it. Do you think you're up to subduing it?
* **Duvale:** It's shed a trail of scrap, as you can see. Please, follow the trail of scrap and keep it from causing anyone more damage!

## Stage 2

» Find the defective Guard Golem in the mountain at [-1655, 59, -5087]

Follow the scrap trail along the path towards the swamp in the south. Go up the mountain path starting at [-1655, 59, -5087], avoiding all the golem-based mobs attacking you as you follow the path.

## Stage 3

» Find the defective Guard Golem

Once at the top of the mountain path, enter the inside of the mountain, then climb down along the branches and follow the path until you reach a door.

**Dialogue:**

* **???:** ...I am... w̶h̴at's my...na̷m̸e...? I had one...
* **???:** Re...remember!! W̵H̸A̶T̸ IS MY N̵A̴M̵E̵? My life?
* **???:** REMEMBER!! No...no or̶d̶ers! No directives!

You need to collect 10 acidic sludge to open the door.

**Dialogue:**

* **Guard Golem:** My name!! My life! I wo̴n̶'t hurt them! The pain helps me reme...who's there?! LEAVE! PL̴E̵A̷SE!
* **Guard Golem:** No directives!! Who d̴i̸d̷ ̸t̶h̸is?! I can't...s-stop giving me ORDERS!!
* **Guard Golem:** N- MORE COLDNESS! NO MORE V̴O̸I̶C̴E̷S THAT AREN'T MINE! MY NAME IS [̶E̷R̶R̷O̸R̷]!! [̶E̷R̶R̷O̸R̷]!! NOOO!!

## Stage 4

» Subdue the defective Guard Golem and return to Duvale at [-1613, 51, -4964]

**Dialogue:**

* **Guard Golem:** Falling...apart...this isn't who I I I was... My... My... My my my my my name is. Was. Is. Was. Is. IS...! [̶E̷R̶R̷O̸R̷]... Ma[̶E̷R̶R̷O̸ine... Ma̷deleine!! I'm Madeleine... I... I-I-IIIIIIIIII-

**Dialogue:**

* **Duvale:** Were you able to subdue the golem? You certainly look like you're in one piece.
* **Duvale:** Ach...that stings. I shouldn't be surprised you had to destroy it, but that was still a big wasted investment for me.
* **Duvale:** Still, it makes me wonder...it sounded like it was talking when I first turned it on- Wait, you heard it too?
* **Duvale:** Hm. There are some unsavory rumors about the factory, come to think of it... Maybe there's some stock to them.
* **Duvale:** It said a name? Madeleine? It doesn't exactly ring a bell, but that's...rather concerning. I never mentioned a Madeleine to it.
* **Duvale:** This is worth sending onto the police, really. I think I might have to write to Olux- the factory is near there.
* **Duvale:** Til then, here. Consider this your reward for helping me out, brave Human. Good luck out there.

## Trivia

* The guard golems are likely a reference to the Cybermen from the show Doctor Who.
