I read a bulletin from Associate Zanon asking for assistance with rebuilding a factotum. A reward has been promised in exchange for helping him collect a missing component.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Speak to Associate Zanon.
  2. Recover the Integral of Memory.
  3. Speak to the Precursor.
  4. Talk to Associate Zanon.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

After speaking to Associate Zanon at his workshop, he will dispatch you to the Mnemonic Planisphere to recover the factotum's Integral of Memory. (This may be a good time to collect the On the Lip of the Skybridge Skyshard if you have not already. The door on the upper level of Associate Zanon's Workshop leads out onto the Skybridge. (map)) After recovering the Integral of Memory and installing it into the frame, the Precursor will task you with locating the rest of its pieces that are scattered across the world. The Precursor will give a clue as to the location of a piece. These are somewhat vague, but do tell you the zone a piece is in.

Every single piece in Tamriel is located inside a Dwemer delve or quest location. They can be easily identified by the yellow sparkle aura surrounding them, which does generate a small amount of light too. They can be found anywhere within the ruins, so don't head straight to the boss room expecting it to be there.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
