==Detailed Guide==
Proceed to the [[East Courtyard]] in northeast [[Crenopolis]]. You'll find [[Constable Carver]] and [[Toblaine]] there. Talking to Carver confirms that he has received orders from [[Captain Waltain]] to assist with the mission.

Either talk to Constable Carver or attempt to ''Climb'' the tree to have Constable Carver distract the guard, [[Borash]]. When the guard leaves, ''Climb'' the tree again to get over the wall into the compound.

To infiltrate the compound:
# Head west into [[Helfar's Wall]]
# '''DO NOT''' try to open the side gate directly - Borash will catch you and throw you out
# ''Hide behind'' the bush to trigger a short cutscene where Borash leaves his post
# Once Borash leaves, ''Open'' ''Helfar's Side Gate''
# Head north into [[Helfar's Gate]], then east into [[Helfar's Hallway]]

There are two doors in the hallway - the [[Artifact Room]] to the north and the [[Strategy Room]] to the east. While the Artifact Room is the correct path for progression, players can optionally enter the Strategy Room to view a humorous cutscene with [[Helfar the Nightcrow|Helfar]].

Enter the Artifact Room (north) to find the cog. A cutscene will trigger where guards interrupt the retrieval. Toblaine offers to grab the cog while you fight.

'''Combat:''' Defeat one [[Helfar's Guard]] (level 20).

After the combat, a cutscene plays showing Toblaine attempting to grab the cog. He is caught on fire and transforms into "[[Possibly Toblaine]]" - a blue, dragon-like form. The remaining guards flee upon seeing the transformation. Through dialogue, Toblaine reveals this transformation has happened three times before when exposed to fire, and requests discretion about his condition.

Talk to Toblaine and suggest heading back to advance the story to ''[[Return to Drogentyne]]''.
