Walkthrough

Starting out

Bookcase containing the Beaten book.

• Go to the Exam Centre south of the Digsite. (Varrock teleport then run east; or use a Digsite pendant/ teleport and walk south towards the exam centre; the Senntisten teleport from the Ancient Spellbook is quite close, and can be used from a Portal Nexus in a POH)
• Search the most north-eastern of the south-eastern bookcases to find a beaten book.
• Read the beaten book, then read the scroll.
• Keep the book.

The second key

• Head back to the Anvil building in Seers Village and enter the odd-looking wall and down the staircase to the workshop.
  • using the battered key (Elemental Workshop I) (to re-obtain search the north-eastern bookcase in the house opposite to get both the key and book)
• Go north to the water elemental room and search the machinery to the west to get a key.
  • Note: You must read the scroll obtained from the Beaten Book to search Machinery or the option will not appear.
• If you didn't bring 2 elemental ores with you, go west and get them by killing 2 Earth elementals (Mine the Elemental Rock for them to spawn).
• Go south from the centre room and smelt your ores into bars, at the furnace.
• Go down the hatch in the centre room with the key in your inventory.

Making Repairs

The crane

• Take-from the schematic crate to the south, take both schematics.
• Go back upstairs and use one bar on the workbench to make an elemental claw.
• Return downstairs and use the lever next to the schematics crate to lower the crane (west lever).
• Use your claw on the old crane.

The junction box

• Climb the stairs to the south-west to get on the catwalk.
• Open the junction box to the west.
• Click the pipe ends to connect them as shown.

Pipes and cogs

A visual of the correct cog placement

• Search all crates on the ground floor and the catwalk of the workshop until you find the following. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the Crane schematic and Lever schematic, or you will be unable to find all the pieces.
  • Pipe
  • Small cog
  • Medium cog
  • Large cog
• On the north side of the catwalk use the Pipe on the broken piping.
• On the east side of the Ground floor use the cogs on the pins on the side of the machine that looks like a wind tunnel as shown.
  • Small cog on upper left pin
  • Medium cog on lower left pin
  • Large cog on right pin.
• Pull the old lever to the right.
  • Note: The repairs are now complete. You will no longer need to head up to the catwalk again.

Operating the machine

The crane

• On the south side place an elemental bar on the jig cart. (under the elemental claw)
  • Note: Crane controls in case you get stuck:
  • Raise/Lower crane: western lever
  • Rotate crane: eastern lever
• First, use the western lever (by the schematics crate) to raise the crane.
• Use the eastern lever to rotate the crane.
• Use the western lever twice to lower the crane into the lava and back up again.
  • At this point the elemental bar should be orange.
• Use the eastern lever to rotate the crane over the cart.
• Use the western lever twice to lower the bar onto the cart and release it.
• Pull the lever just north of the claw controls to move the cart.
  • Note: The lever in front of the yellow sign moves the cart to the next station.

The press

• Pull the western-most lever - in front of the press station - to flatten the bar once the cart has stopped.
  • Note: At this point the elemental bar should be flattened.
• Pull the yellow sign lever again to move the cart to the next station.

The water tank

• Pull the northern-most lever.
• Turn the corkscrew lever twice.
• Pull the northern-most lever again.
• Turn the west water valve twice so that the valve opens and closes. The tank will fill.
• Turn the east water valve twice so that the valve opens and closes. The tank will empty.
• Pull the northern-most lever.
  • Note: At this point the elemental bar should be blue.
• Turn the corkscrew lever twice.
• Pull the northern-most lever to close the door.
• Pull the yellow sign lever again.

Drying

• Pull the east lever
  • At this point the elemental bar should be white.
  • Note: The machine may need to be turned off and back on again for the bar to turn white.
• Pull the east lever again to stop the fan.
• Pull the yellow sign lever again.

Finishing up

• Take-from the jig to get a primed bar.
• Head down the stairs to the north-west.
• Go through the east door.
• Use your primed bar with the extractor gun.
• Operate the Extractor hat with the bar placed under the gun.
  • Note: Your magic level will be drained by 20.
• Take-from the extractor gun to get a primed mind bar.
• Go up both spiral stairs

(Note: Make sure you have the beaten book in your inventory. If you only have the slashed book you will automatically make a mind shield and not the mind helmet.)

• Use your primed mind bar on the workbench to smith a mind helmet.

Quest complete!

Rewards

• 1 Quest point
• 7,500 Smithing experience
• 7,500 Crafting experience
• The ability to make and use elemental mind equipment.
  • To make a mind shield: have the slashed book from the Elemental Workshop I quest in your inventory, then smith a primed mind bar into a mind shield.

Trivia

• When you are downstairs in the corridor that has the mind door, a body door can be seen further down. This is a hint towards the Elemental Workshop III quest, which was released in RuneScape 3. The armour reward from it was a Body body.
