Find the lexicon machine for “Discerning the Transmundane”

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I'm on the quest Discerning the Transmundane, but I can't find the room with the lexicon machine.

In Blackreach, I've found the Debate Hall, Silent Ruin, Halls of Rumination, and War Quarters, but haven't found it yet. I've been running around this place for over an hour now!

Where, in relation to the giant golden globe, can I find the machine?

Best Answer

The giant golden globe roughly in the centre of Blackreach is not the lexicon machine, but it provides a useful point of reference to find it. While standing below the giant golden globe, walk directly south. As you pass through the southern gate of the wall, you will be on top of a set of stairs. Slightly to your right is a tall tower that connects to the ceiling. This is the Tower of Mzark. To reach it, you will cross a bridge over rapids which flow to the edge of a waterfall. When you reach the tower, take the elevator to the tower's interior, solve the puzzle, and you will be able to transcribe the Elder Scroll into the lexicon and then retrieve the Elder Scroll from the machine.
