Terari performing a dangerous experiment

Proctor Sovor Saryoni, a ranking Clockwork Apostle, is dying and has asked me to help save his life. He believes his only hope to continue his existence lies in an experiment conducted by a former apostle, but she was exiled long ago because of it.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Proctor Sovor Saryoni.
2. Find Terari Heladren.
3. Find Bolin.
4. Defeat Bolin and extract the black soul gem.
5. Return to Terari and help her perform the experiment.

Notes

• The notes and hints related to Terari won't exist in the Reactor District before starting the quest.
  • Terari Heladren won't exist in the derelict laboratory before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
• While the black soul gem appears physically besides Bolin's factotum body after destroying him, and be looted directly by interacting with it, it can also be looted by looting Bolin's directly, as it appears along any other loot he might drop.

Bugs

• Quest does not credit you for extracting the Black Soul Gem
  • If this happens, you'll need to abandon and restart the quest. To avoid this issue, kill Bolin and then wait a moment until the quest moves to the next step ("Extract the Black Soul Gem") before looting the body.
• The switch that you pull the initiate the transfer has no animation when used. ^?

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
