Need advice please, possibly missed something

[OGxBloodDemon]

Looking for advice please. Just killed the watcher and repaired the drain pipes and pulled the lever on the cog system, nothing happened or activated. and i have not received the Shanor recipes. am i missing something or is it bugged. I'm in sandbox mode if that matters.

Done some quick google searches and couldn't find a clear answer to my problem. any suggestions or solutions would be great.

This confused me at first, too, but there are two phases. First, you fight the Watcher, repair the pump, and flip the switch. It sounds like you have done this.

If you further follow quest markers seeking out the Eastern Stairs, you will eventually find a large grate closing off a flooded room. THIS is the Forge of Belegost, where you get the Shandor recipe. Next to the grate will be a lever. Flip this lever to drain the room. Once the room is drained, the grate will open and you can go about repairing the forge, same as the one in the Elven Quarter. As soon as the forge is repaired and activated, you will get the new recipes, though you will likely have to fight off a horde before you use them, same as the Elven Quarter.

Once you flip the switch in the pumphouse, don't the gears and things in there turn a bit? They don't appear to do anything, but I seem to recall there being a "confirmation animation" for lack of a better term... or at least a lot of noise.

I only remember because I completely missed the switch while running around for like 20 minutes looking for the typical handle you see on forges that usually needs to be replaced.

After that, I was able to flip the other one at the gate and drain the water.

Correct. You have to pull a level at the pump house to turn it on. There will be some movement, some noise, and I think your dwarf will say something, too. It's not hard to find, and I remember it being near a piece you had to put back in, but if you don't know to look for it, I could see how it would be easy to miss.

I believe this is what im missing! i havent had the time to play again to know for sure, but im betting i never found that first level therefore the pump house didnt do anything. Im in sandbox mode and never played campaign, so i dont have any direct quest objectives that im aware of, but ill go looking for the eastern stair and see if i can locate this other half of the quest.
