Research. Tinker. Annihilate.

Research. Tinker. Annihilate. is a quest in the Embers of Rage campaign. If the player character knows how to tinker, then the player is granted this quest upon killing any one of a mecharachnid flame thrower, a greater or ultimate hethugoroth (steam elemental), or one of the Automated Defense Systems of the Steam Quarry. The player character gets inspired by intact parts found in the remains of their slain foes, and seeks more mechanical and steam-related foes for further inspiration. To complete the quest, the player must kill all 3 - a mecharachnid flame thrower, a greater or ultimate hethugoroth (steam elemental), and one of the Automated Defense Systems.

Mecharachnid flame throwers appear in the G.E.M., the Palace of Fumes, and the Steam Quarry. Hethugoroths and the Automated Defense Systems are only found in the Steam Quarry.

The reward for completing this quest is to unlock the Annihilator class, and this quest is only granted if the player has not already unlocked Annihilator.
