Destroying the Zone Security Devices

1. Walk towards Charleston 1 and she'll ask you to destroy the Zone Security Devices to move forward within the factory.
2. Go left and kill the first Zone Security Device (it's a mob). A portal will appear allowing to move forward.
3. Repeat the same process 3 more times until Charleston 1 asks you to meet her at the lab.
4. The lab is found in the middle (141,199) of the map.

Optional quest: you can speak to a computer behind Dr Vee to get a quest to kill 50 steps. Completing this quest will net you 5 Charleston Parts.

1. Return to Charleston 1 after killing 3 Locksteps. She tells you there's a problem with the generators, you have to investigate them.
   You only have to go near the generators, you don't have to kill the Kickstep.
2. Return to the lab once you've investigated all 3 generators.
3. Talk with Charleston 1 again and then follow her to the right.
   Note: For the next part, the portals will get closed so it is recommended to bring everyone in the lab before proceeding.
4. Speak with Charleston 2 and a new scene will begin. The portals will close.
5. You will get waves of mobs, they are fairly easy to kill. You must kill all of them to proceed and the portals will re-open.

The Core

1. Walk out of the lab and go all the way south below the middle. Charleston 1 and 2 will be waiting for you.
2. Move near Charleston 2 to trigger the next dialogues.
3. Charleston 1 wants you to gather 1 Explosive Powder . These drop from the Step found in the instance.
4. Return to her and she will warp you inside the Core.
5. Walk near the NPCs to trigger the next scene. You have to defeat Charleston 3.

Charleston Parts

1. Once the scene between 1 and 2 is over, move downward and go back to Dr. Vee in the lab. A dialogue will trigger once you get close.

   You will be rewarded with 3 Charleston Component .
