Quick Links
Dwarven Devices are one of the new exhibit subcategories in the Fantasy Finds DLC forTwo Point Museum. While the game doesn’t tell you this unless you’re paying close attention to the item descriptions, you can cluster them together for a bonus, similar to Astral Anomalies.
Getting all the Dwarven Devices takes a lot of adventuring with your Fantasy Experts, especially if you want to get full Knowledge and Pristine Quality on all of them. It’s worth the effort, though, as the setup makes for a solid tour, and opening Geodes can be a great side hustle for the museum.
Where To Get Dwarven Devices
Dwarven Devices are available on thesouthwestern section of the Scorched Earth expedition map, which becomes available as you progress through the early parts of the map’s storyline. You’ll first be able to extract Geodes from theMines of Adnausea, then get your first set of proper Devices fromGreat Dwharf.
Once you’ve built up a collection ofat least five Dwarven Devices(including Geodes), totaling 225 Buzz or more on display, you’ll be able to access Furious Forge once a fewdwarf guestshave had their Dream Visit.; beyond that, displaythree Pristine Dwarven Devicesto unlock Cog Tower.
Furious Forge doesn’t actually have any Dwarven Devices, but youneed to unlock itin order to reach Cog Tower.

Great Dwharf

Cog Tower
Fire Device, Wind Device
The Fantasy Stat requirements here are quite high. It might be best to justbring a Curse Counterto protect against Wildfire, and just risk the injury from Teleportation Trap. Your Expert can just heal up in the Bandage Box when they get back to the Museum.
How To Activate The Geode Device
The Geode Device can be powered by the Smelting Device, which in turn is powered byhaving all three of the Gas, Fire, and Wind Devices near it.That means that the best way to set them up is tohave the Smelting Device in the center, with the other four positioned around it,all within its area of effect.
If everything is correctly positioned, the Smelting and Geode Devices will start moving. As long as they’re active, you canplace Geodes in the Geode Deviceto turn them into Crystals.
When a Crystal is finished processing, it sometimes takes a few seconds before you can pick it up from the top of the Geode Device.
Why Turn Geodes Into Crystals?
Crystals are theupgraded forms of their respective Geodes. They have a separate Knowledge rating, so you can research a Geode and its Crystal separately through repeated trips into the Mines of Adnausea.
Crystalsretain the Quality of the Geode they were made frombut produce roughlytwice as much Buzz.That alone is a reason torefine every Geode that you come acrossonce you’re done researching them.
Perhaps more importantly, Crystalssell for $20,000 regardless of Quality, making them a great way to come up with quick cash in a pinch. If you get lucky and a Collector comes to the museum interested in Dwarven Devices,get a lot of Crystals on displayto increase the chances that they’ll make an offer; you can always go get more!
