Gorthak Ironworks is a research institute and industrial facility located in the Delesyia region. Situated in the northwestern part of Delesyia near the Demeniss border, the Ironworks specializes in heavy military technology and serves as one of three research institutes in the Delesyia territory. Its primary gameplay function is unlocking offensive ATAG mech capabilities.
The three Delesyia research institutes each focus on different aspects of ATAG technology. Gorthak Ironworks handles offensive weapons, the Delesyia Castle Institute provides mobility upgrades and the Laser Cannon Spear, and Dewhaven Keep unlocks utility and close-range ATAG systems.
The Ironworks sits in the mountainous terrain of northwestern Delesyia. The facility is built into the rocky landscape, with industrial forges, testing grounds, and storage areas for raw materials spread across the compound. Smoke stacks and metal structures dominate the skyline, giving the location a distinctly industrial feel compared to the more pastoral areas of Hernand.
Its proximity to the Demeniss border gives the Ironworks strategic military importance. The weapons and technology developed here are intended to defend Delesyia's northern frontier.

To use the research facilities at Gorthak Ironworks, players must first reach the Delesyia region through main story progression. Once at the facility, the lead researcher requires 5x Gunpowder to initiate the first research project (Basic Smelting). Gunpowder can be crafted or purchased from vendors in the Delesyia region.
Gorthak Ironworks offers a tree of research projects organized into three tiers. Each project costs Silver, takes real time to complete, and unlocks new capabilities ranging from crafting recipes to ATAG weapon systems.
Gorthak Ironworks: Basic Smelting is the entry-level project unlocked by providing 5x Gunpowder. It grants a Flame Spear Blueprint and a Sustained Supply Cannon Shell, and produces 1.30x Silver over 2 hours.

The Machine Parts Research project at Gorthak Ironworks is the key unlock for three offensive ATAG weapons:
Weapon | Description |
|---|---|
ATAG Cannon | A heavy projectile weapon mounted on the mech, effective at medium range against large targets. |
ATAG Laser | A focused energy beam weapon with sustained damage output. Effective against armored enemies. |
ATAG Pincers | Melee grappling arms for close-range ATAG combat, capable of grabbing and throwing enemies. |
In addition, Machine Parts Research grants the Oongka's Rocket Pack the Vertical Flight ability, expanding aerial combat options.
Institute | Location | ATAG Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
NW Delesyia | ATAG Cannon, Laser, Pincers; Vertical Flight | |
Regional capital | ATAG Boots (mobility), Laser Cannon Spear | |
Dewhaven Keep | SW Delesyia | ATAG Machine Gun, Fist, Welder, Flamespitter |
Main Forge: The central building where heavy weapons and ATAG components are manufactured.
Testing Grounds: An open area outside the forge where new weapon prototypes and ATAG systems are tested.
Storage Areas: Warehouses containing raw materials, refined metals, and finished components.
Research Wing: Where scientists and engineers work on new military technologies and ATAG upgrades.
Bring 5x Gunpowder when you first visit to unlock the Basic Smelting project immediately.
Prioritize Machine Parts Research (130 Silver, 23 hours) if you want to unlock all three ATAG weapons as quickly as possible.
The Mineral Excavation Efficiency Research is valuable for resource gathering throughout the endgame.
Visit all three Delesyia institutes to unlock the full ATAG arsenal. No single institute provides everything.
