We're nearly there, my friend! Stand back while I activate the Automaton!
I don't know what we'll encounter in there. We know that the Alchemist went that way, and he won't have made it easy for anyone to follow him.

Follow-Up Text[]
This is the only entrance to these mines that we've found, so the Alchemist is almost certainly in there. That probably means he's near his goal, whatever that is ... and that means he'll do everything he can to keep you from stopping him. He'll be even more desperate, more dangerous.
Journal Entry[]
With the Great Door now opened, you prepare to enter the Broken Mines in pursuit of the Alchemist.
The Story So Far...
You have recharged the Power Source! Once you install it, the automaton should come to life and ... if all goes well ... it will open the Great Door, and you can continue your pursuit of the Alchemist.
Meanwhile, the Alchemist has been inside the old dwarven mines for hours. If he hasn't reached the Clockwork Core by now, he must be dangerously close.
Time is running out.
Walkthrough[]
The Gate[]
After walking through the door opened by the Automaton, you'll find yourself inside Minehead, which serves as your base. After entering, you'll complete the quest by speaking with the Guardian of Mana.
Completion Text[]
My powers remain diminished, but I had to come, to give you a warning. The barrier between our world and the Nether is most fragile at the Clockwork Core. Hordes of them are beginning to burst through, and, if the Alchemist destroys the Core, the tide of Netherim will be unstoppable.
