8	Close the Second Sluice Gate Bring the ladder down for Gildun by going around and climbing up on a different path. Go up once more after helping Gildun get up the ladder and go to the valve.
	Go on the Counterweight The counterweight you will use is a bit busted. Follow the marker and go up again and drop down on it. Take note that you should rappel down and not jump down directly, or you will die from the fall.

12	Get the Power Cell and Talk to Gildun You can get the Power Cell first further in the room, or you can start talking to Gildun before getting it. He will tell you that the artifact he saw might've been just a trick of the light as it is not there.
	Replace the Power Cell Place the new power cell to restore the drainage system. Talk to Gildun once more and then go to the Overflow Basin to check things out outside.
13	Enter the Overflow Basin There are two Daemonic Snapmaws near the Overflow Basin. You can choose to fight them or just sneak in by gong across the rope near the campfire towards the tree.
	Talk to Laulai Find the source of the sound and you will see Laulai hitting the pipes. Talk to her to end the quest and get your rewards.

Tips and Strategies

Killing Daemonic Snapmaws

Daemonic Snapmaws are stronger versions of Snapmaws, but their weaknesses are still the same. Destroy the Blaze Canisters above its neck to cause a large fire explosion and put the Daemonic Snapmaws in a burning state.

You can also destroy the Freeze Sac below their neck to cause a freezing explosion and freeze them. All attacks against frozen machines will deal more damage, allowing you to take them out more efficiently.
