Walkthrough[]

When approaching The Black Forge, the Vestige will encounter a projection of Vanus Galerion. Speak with it and it will reveal that Vanus has entered the forge in an attempt to destroy the daedric machinery here, including The Great Shackle which is key to the invasion of Tamriel.

Head into the Black Forge. You will find the entrance by island hopping across the pool of lava in front of you. Head along the hallway into the first big room. there, cross the bridge and you will find something called Galerion's Health, an essence of Vanus Galerion. Talk to it and it will tell you that the Daedra captured Vanus and planned to use him to power the Great Shackle, so he split his essence into three fragments to prevent this. the essence of health will then tell you that the vampires in the room are feeding on its energy, and that you should kill them and recover the energy to free it.

Kill five of the vampires, then return to the essence. It will now be free of its shackles, and will guide you toward the Essence of Stamina, in the slave quarters. Head down the hallway to the south. Take care to avoid the fire traps on the floor. The first room you come across should hold Galerion's Stamina. It will tell you that it has been used to give the soul shriven here energy to continue their labour. There are two ways to retrieve the energy; you can convince the workers to give it up willingly, or you can use a device to extract it from a distance, killing the worker. The device can be found in the room to the north. Either way, once you have the energy, return to Galerion's Stamina and set it free. It will tell you that the last essence is in the foundry, and show you the way there.

Head east. You will have to make your way through several daedra-infested rooms, so take care. The last essence will be in the second square room. Beware the traps on the floor as you approach it. It will tell you that it is being used by Molag Bal to power the machines here for the construction of the Great Shackle, which is a more powerful Dark Anchor that will considerably speed up Bal's invasion of Nirn. He will ask you to unlock the seals of binding that keep him trapped. Each of these is guarded by a Cold-Flame Atronach, so take care. Once the seals are unlocked, talk to the essence again and you will have freed all of Vanus Galerion's essences.

All that remains is to free Vanus's physical body. Head throught the passage to the south, into the tunnels. You will run into the dremora Kothutuilk, who is guarding the door to the room where Vanus's body is. Kill her, then head on. You will find yourself in a room with Vanus's body three pillars, each a conduit for one of Vanus's essences. Activate them, and the essences will return to Vanus. Vanus will tell you to follow him outside; head outside, then talk to him there to finish the quest and start the next one, Breaking the Shackle.
