Frobisher

1
Head south from the portal to reach the town of Frobisher and watch the cutscene that plays upon entering. Use this time to buy armor and weapons from the equipment shop first before leaving.

If you attempt to leave the town, you will end up in an enemy encounter with an Automaton. Defeat it using physical attacks to progress the objective and allow you to leave the town to visit Faraday Castle.

Faraday Castle

Head southwest from Frobisher to reach Faraday Castle. Speak with the two guards in front of the door to enter through the castle.
2
Head up the stairs and talk to the king at the throne room.
3
Head to the door that leads outside of the throne room.
4
Head to the southwestern wing of the castle to enter the watchtower. You can rotate the camera to find the door as it is obscured when using the default view.
5
Take the stairs on the right to climb the watchtower. Watch the cutscene and exit the castle to make your way to the Royal Institute of Automatry.

Institute of Automatry

Head west from Faraday Castle to reach the Royal Institute of Automatry.
2
Before heading to the main house, enter the smaller house on the left to pick up the Yellow Fragment inside.
3
Enter the main house and talk to the man sitting at the northeastern corner of the house.

Repel the Automaton Attack

Make your way back to Frobisher and examine the three Automatons with exclamation points above them to collect the spare parts.

Return to Faraday Castle and defeat the two Automatons that will attack as soon as you enter the castle. Once you defeat them, Kiefer will leave the party temporarily to hold off the waves of Automatons.
3
Head to the Royal Institute of Automatry to inform Autonymus and Thaddeus. Go back to Faraday Castle after to reunite with Kiefer.

After defeating The Automatrist and the Automaton, heal at the statue again as you will be facing three back to back boss fights in the next room. When you are ready, head to Basement Level 2 and interact with the NPC in the middle of the area.

The first phase is a battle with three Automatons. Use skills that exploit their weaknesses such as Kiefer's Lightning Slash and use healing items to conserve your MP for the next two boss fights.
9
The second phase is a boss battle with Tinpot Dictator and two Automatons. Focus on dealing damage to the Tinpot Dictator as the Automatons will appear again whenever he calls for backup. Cast Buff on the party member that the boss targets to prevent them from getting knocked out.
10
The third and last phase is a boss fight with Slaughtomaton. Use Maribel's Crack skill and Kiefer's Lightning Slash to deal more damage to the boss. Use the Hero to cast Buff and Heal when needed and have Ruff use attack or a skill if he still has MP.
11
After beating the bosses, backtrack to Basement Level 1 and take the elevator at the southeastern corner. Open the treasure chest to get a Steel Broadsword.
