Lock 1 - stand by the 8 statues and let your torch link up. The balls in the statue's hands will catch fire.
Lock 2 - is the giant gold face at the back of the main building (61,58) Your torch will link up again.
Lock 3 - you will need to search all of the rooms underneath the main building (where Phenran usually is). You will need to collect all 4 items, 2 of which are two parts combined (6 items total). Then go to the 4 tall towers with the globe on top and click on the console to apply the missing pieces (60,55) (59,56) (59,60) (60,62)
Lock 4 - Grab the new quest at 60 ,58 and kill Tithris and loot the orb. Place orb in console.

You get 2 new requirements.
1 - is to click the artifact right next to the orb you just placed.
2 - is to grab the orb again
Turn quest in a few yards to the right.

You complete the achievement Whodunnit! and get the new mount

Comment by Mychelle

Once you accept the quest "An Ominous Artifact" that requires you to kill Amerinth & Tithris, they are supposed to appear in-front of where you accepted the quest on the large panel object. If they do not appear (like they didn't for me) flying out of Tyr's zone and back in to where you got the quest should have them appear for you.

Using Ancient Tyrhold Artifact Notes to complete A Treacherous Race
without coordinates

Lock #	Ancient Tyrhold Artifact Notes	Steps	Interpretation
Summary	Summary An unnamed artifact (or collection of artifacts) was found by Tyr and other titan keepers around Azeroth long ago. Tyr focused on one cache in particular, hiding it in Tyr’s Hold behind a number of mechanical and magical locks. In the text few pages we have detailed the information we found about each of the locks Tyr put in place. The texts do not say what was found, but the writing sounds frightened. Not a good sign coming from a titan keeper! We cannot let Tithris steal the artifact.		Where? This quest takes place entirely in Tyrhold, Thaldraszus. It does not take place in the nearby area called the Sealed Titan Facility. Do I have to do the Dragonflight storyline about Tyr first? No. You don’t have to do the Reforging the Tyr's Guard storyline. A Dislocated Disc is the first quest in the Reforging the Tyr's Guard storyline. The quest giver is Nozdormu at the Seat of the Aspects. Paste this string into the Chat bar to see if you’ve completed the quest: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(75632)) Dislocated Disc Located is the final quest in the storyline. Paste this string into the Chat bar to see if you’ve completed it: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(75638)) The reward is Dragon Isles Drakes: Gilded Armor.
Lock 1	Lock 1 – Torch of Pyrreth We believe the first lock requires the torch. We found the line below as a reference. Hopefully these keepers will be easy to discern. Eight keepers stand vigil awaiting a flame bearer.		Equip the Torch of Pyrreth and approach the eight statues of watchers along the perimeter of Tyrhold. Each watcher carries an orb. As you near a statue, a flame jumps from the Torch of Pyrreth to the orb carried by the statue. The orb changes to a burning yellow orb. I found one orb did not change appearance after it ignited, but that doesn’t matter. There is no counter on the screen. There is no quest completion message. Open the map. You’ll see a yellow question mark in the middle of the Forge-Keep. If you don’t see it, fly up there anyway.
Lock 2	Lock 2 – Titan Key This one is very straightforward. It appears from the text only a few titan keys were forged, including the Titan Key of Tyr you were able to reforge. Only key holders can gain approval from my golden visage overlooking the furnaces of the hold. *You will have to locate this visage and see what the “approval” means.		On the top floor of the Forge-Keep there is a huge golden face of Tyr embedded in the wall – the Visage. You are a titan keyholder. Approach the face. A white stream will flow from the eye to you. You’ve received the “Favor of Tyr”. This is a 60 minute buff that makes you friendly with the Forge-Keep Sentinels, but some other mobs will remain hostile. The Favor of Tyr buff is not renewable! But fortunately, the Favor of Tyr buff remains active through death. You are a titan keyholder. You received Tyr's Titan Key, a weapon transmog for gathering Rose Gold Dust and Igneous Flux from The Waking Shores doing A Key To Reforg(ing).
Lock 3	Lock 3 – Idol of Ohn’ahra The third lock requires the Idol Scattered amidst the odd rings, one must search each room to find and return all four whole to the Mother Oathstone’s charges.” There was a line that followed with four sets of coordinates: (8, 13), (25, 25), (10, -12) and (25, -24). Kathos thinks the Idol of Ohn’ahra will find the scattered items amongst the circular ring tiers that lead deeper into Tyr’s Hold. *Seems you should use the thinking cap near the Mother Oathstone at the base of the main stair. Looks important for that second part! Note: Is this why Tithris told Bobby about Fangli Hoot? To decipher the coordinate system?	Step 1	Equip only the Idol of Ohn'ahra and descend the stairs to the lower levels that circle the Furnace. There are two sets of stairs. It doesn't matter which you use. Not far from the stairs to level -1, you'll find the entrance to a round room. If you continue along the curved hall, you'll find an identical room at the far end of the hall, near the other set of stairs. You'll only find side rooms on floors -1, -3 and -5. There are two rooms on these floors. You can fly in the lower levels. While walking, stay close to the walls. The Forge-Keep Sentinels are friendly, other mobs are hostile. There are no side rooms on floors -2 and -4. You cannot enter floor -6. You don’t need to equip the Torch of Pyrreth or the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap. The reference to coordinates in the Artifact Notes is misleading: The coordinates don't refer to the location of rooms in the lower corridors. You'll run down the clock on the Favor of Tyr buff if you spend time resetting coordinates and following them. The coordinates mark the location of consoles in the base of the tall energy pylons. You can easily spot them, so you don't need coordinates. The reset point for the pylon coordinates is the Mother Oathstone. This is an ornate pylon at the base of the main stairs.
Step 2	Search the rooms on floors -1, -3, -5. What are we looking for? The Notes don’t say, but the Idol of Ohn'ahra finds electronic components. How many parts are we looking for? The Note says, “find and return all four whole”. The word “whole” is suspicious. Hint: There are 6 parts and 6 rooms. You’ll need to combine duplicate parts to create some of the components. You’ll end up with four whole components. The parts are hidden in broken urns and vessels found on the floor around the edge of the room. You'll see a tiny magnifying glass when you find something. Click. You’ll have a component. The parts do not drop from mobs. Because the floor plans are identical, it's faster to find the side rooms yourself. Then let the Idol of Ohn'ahra search the floor for parts. Mouseover the area where the light beam points.
Step 3	Locate the 4 tall energy pylons in Tyrhold. At the top of each pylon is a glowing orb and a floating brown ring. See the screenshot. The four Cogs-Bolts coordinates listed in the Ancient Tyrhold Artifact Notes mark the location of the control consoles within each pylon. You won’t need to use coordinates to find them.

OK, but what is the Mother Oathstone?
It’s a bejewelled pylon with crossed wings on the plaza near the base of the main stairs. You would have to stand on top of the Oathstone to precisely recalibrate coordinates using the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap.

Step 4
Activate the control consoles at the base of the pylon towers.

The control rooms for two of the pylons are up a long flight of stairs. The control rooms for the other two pylons are at ground level.

Walk over to the control console. A dialog box opens and asks if you want to insert a component. Yes. The correct component is automatically inserted. Leave.

Lock 4
Lock 4 – Orb of Rathmus
*The last lock uses the Orb of Rathmus, which Tithris has. We hope we can bypass this lock to secure the artifact before Tithris can get it. Here is the clue:

*Return the Orb of Rathmus to its consoling rest where Tyr can watch over it from on high.”

*There is a great console at the top of Tyrhold which we both believe is the right place.

Step 1
Fly to the open platform at the top of the Forge-Keep.
There is a giant console on the platform. There’s a glowing empty shape above it – in the shape of a large orb. There’s a quest marker over the console. Accept the quest An Ominous Artifact.

You notice there is an ornate gold chest on the console. Walk around the console and up a few steps. Open the Cache of Cosmic Curiosities. Strange, there is no loot. Maybe it will interact in some way with the Orb of Rathmus.

Didn't I just dig up the Orb?
Yes, you unearthed and restored the Orb of Rathmus from pieces buried on the Stormshroud Peak plateau. You used the Notes in Preservationist's Dispatch Three to complete A Curious Orb. But you turned the Orb over to Tithris, since Preservationist Kathos wasn’t at the Rotten Ram Inn.

Step 2
Follow the instructions in An Ominous Artifact:
The quest concisely lists what you need to do to restore the Orb of Rathmus to the titan console.

Investigate the Orb Slot on the Console
Defeat Amerinth
Defeat Tithris and loot the Orb of Rathmus
Place the Orb of Rathmus on top of the titan console
Retrieve the Orb of Rathmus (and give it to Preservationist Kathos)

Conveniently, Amerinth and then Tithris spawn up there on the platform. You’ll have help dealing with them as people fly in to complete the quest.

It's a bit strange that you place the Orb of Rathmus in the titan console and then remove it before handing it over to Preservationist Kathos.

Conclusion

Preservationist Kathos suddenly appears on the platform, along with Bobby Carlisle.

Hand in the quest and you’ve completed Whodunnit? and you receive Pattie's Cap which teaches you to summon Pattie.

Comment by fhait

Each of the levels of the titan facility have 2 rooms you will need to search.

The items in question are hidden inside a 'Broken Urn' on the floor. They do not glow/shimmer in any way, you will need to search the floor around the edges of the rooms.

The mobs guarding/patrolling the rooms and adjacent areas are easilly avoided with stealth or shadowmeld, but for what it's worth, they also a modest source of Glowing Titan Orb.

Comment by Axofa

WARNING : Do not leave once you start the orb process.

I was flying around with the torch doing something else in the area and I got one of the 8 orbs to light up and left the area.
Then, once I came back to do the clue I was only able to light up 7/8 orbs and was unable to proceed.
I've contacted support and they told me to submit a bug report.

Not sure if this is a common issue or not, but to be on the safer side... once you start the orbs process make sure you complete
the entire clue in one go!
