This quest is a bit complex to complete, and even with the information here, it took me a while to figure out.

First, go to the Smokestack at about 53,10.&nbsp This is NOT the larger apparatus which is a ways farther to the east, in the Sludge Fen.&nbsp The Smokestack is a smaller installation, though it is also surrounded by a lot of guards, workers, peons, etc.&nbsp It is just east of the road that leads north from Crossroads.&nbsp It is a fair distance up the road, and sits up against a hill, on the south side of the hill.

You will need to kill about 20 guards on this one.&nbsp They will probably regenerate before you are done.&nbsp If there are any other people nearby, doing the same quest, you really should consider grouping with them.&nbsp The grouping won't matter so much on the first tasks, but, unless you group, only ONE person will be able to get the key at the end (fron Tinkerer Sniggles) and you will need to wait for him (and the guards) to regenerate.

Okay, here is the order of tasks:

1.&nbsp Kill enough guards to get to the control panel.&nbsp It is is in the area in front of the smokestack (next to the smokestack, on the south side), under the canopy.

2.&nbsp Go the the control panel, to the left side, under the canopy.&nbsp Stand next to it and right click.&nbsp After it opens, click, "Complete Task."

3.&nbsp Go turn off the 3 valves.&nbsp One is on the protrusions from the east side of the smokestack.&nbsp One is on the pipe that comes out of the ground behind, on the north side of the smokestack.&nbsp One is on the west side of the smokestack, near the base.&nbsp The order in which you do this is not important, except that it can only be completed AFTER you have opened the control panel the first time (above).

4.&nbsp Go back to the control panel again, and open it again.&nbsp This is the second time.&nbsp 'Complete' that task.

5.&nbsp Now, you need to go up the small hill to the east and kill Tinkerer Sniggles.&nbsp If you are with a group, you MUST get grouped by this point, or only one of you will get the key.&nbsp Tinkerer Sniggles is in the little house, up the hill.&nbsp When he dies, you should find a key in his possestions.&nbsp Take it.

6.&nbsp Final task.&nbsp Go back down the hill and open the Control Panel one more time (the 3rd time).&nbsp Complete that.&nbsp

Now take the Samophlange device to Sputtervalve in Ratchet.

I hope this helps make the whole thing clear.

For allys the quest chain ends here
