Pass Sotha Sil's Trial

Jigger_allard · September 2017

I am not sure if this the right place to ask for help with passing Sotha Sil's Trial quest? I have looked at several videos but I am still not getting it?!? Part of the reason for that is that I have a complete and utter aversion towards puzzles and quizzes; (and multi-layered mazes). My brain suddenly goes blank up and I become absolutely brain dead. It leaves me with no deductive reasoning. Can someone please walk me through it step-by-step? In the process, you will make a very old man very happy indeed. Thank you.

@***_allard I put it as a spoiler for those that don't want to know the answer.

There were 5 houses that founded the temple so you need 5 dynamo cores inserted in the sockets and 3 gears in the pegs for each of the constructs present in the puzzle.

@altemriel Amalexia's Temple in Deshaan. It is part of the EP faction main questline.

I know, but it isn't working for me. I suppose I will just abandon the quest. I have been at it for well over an hour.

What, exactly, is not working? You get the cores and gears by killing constructs. Then place them in the big guy as stated in the spoiler. Then you will have to fight him.

I was wondering how I ended up going there when I am a Breton
in the Daggerfall Covenant.

I am just not understanding the sequence of it. As I said I have a distinct aversion towards puzzle in general. I hate them!

I have tried doing it numerous times but I cannot activate him.

You have to put the round peg in the round hole and the square peg in the square hole. Just joking.....from one old fogey to another. Make sure the dynamo cores are going in the sockets and the gears are going on the pegs. If it still doesn't work, maybe it is bugged.

I at least know that much. :-D It must be bugged because It just doesn't work for me. It is getting a little too frustrating.

As I said previously I hate puzzles, quizzes and multi-layered; multi-leveled mazes. Hate them. Even now I am stuck in a dungeon alone and unable to defeat Vox. She kicks the crap out of my level 27 Breton Magicka Sorceress. I am about out of soul gems and patience. I am about ready to give it up and leave. As they say, there is no point in beating a dead horse. Anyway, thanks very much for your help.

@***_allard Do you play on PC/NA? If so, I can help. I have a level 20-something nightblade. It would be fun to run together. You can get me ingame @Hippie4927 . I am loading the game now.
