Description

This is a magical machine designed to make various things (armor, scrolls, weapons, creatures, etc.).

You can find her in Midden under the College of Winterhold. There are two entrances (hatches in the floor):
In the Support Hall under the stairs.
In the courtyard of the College to the left of the doors to the Hall of Elements.

It is an alternative to a regular forge for a mage. If you didn't initially put skill points into blacksmithing, but did put them into spellcasting, then the Atronach Forge is a good tool for making Daedric equipment (Daedra hearts for it can also be created in the forge). To create some items you will need a Sigil Stone, to obtain it you need a 90 spellcasting skill and completing a quest to learn the corresponding ritual spell (to complete it, talk to the master of witchcraft at the College of Winterhold).

Crafting items

To begin, place the necessary ingredients in the sacrifice box. Then press the lever.

Notes

The Atronach Forge does not have an ID, so it cannot be duplicated using the console.

It's rare for a forge recipe to drop from an enemy NPC.
After death, the bodies of atronachs and dremora can be searched and the spent ingredients can be slightly restored. The bodies will disappear if you use the Forge to create anything again.

In some versions of the game, a bug appears when making Daedric boots: when taken from the forge, they are not displayed in the inventory (the weight of the item is missing) for both the GG and the companion, however, the companion can put on the best armor, but it will still be missing from the inventory (impossible to take/change for upgrade). There is no cure yet. There were no problems with the creation of other items (weapons/armor).

You can effortlessly create things without wasting ingredients. In a nutshell: you leave 1 piece of the required ingredients in your inventory, put the rest in the closet in the previous room (to make it clear whether you managed to take everything or you missed something), fill the box with the required ingredients from your inventory, save (quicksave) , having first hovered the cursor over the box, then quickly press “E” on the box and, moving the cursor to the forge activation handle, press “E” again. Next, you need to have time to press “R” (take everything) before the ingredients disappear from the box, but after the process of armor appearing has started. It’s easier to navigate by the sounds (clicks) of the activation handle. A few practice attempts and you'll quickly get the hang of it. Then we open the inventory and check if there are ingredients from the box and if they are ALL, if so, we take the reservation from the pedestal, put the ingredients in the box again, save, etc. This may be nonsense, but for those who have a hard time with ingredients, there is a way out, + it’s always nice to know that somewhere we deceived Bethesd.

Atronach Forge is an unusual machine that can make various things. The forge is the only device in the game that can be used to make staves. But the staff is not all that this miracle machine can create. You can find it in Midden, under the College of Winterhold.

Some items can only be crafted with the Sigil Stone, which can be obtained by completing the quest “Ritual Spell of Sorcery.” Also on the table in front of the forge was the book “Guide to the Atronach Forge.” Some recipes for the Atronach Forge will be written in it. Also on the table you will see some ingredients for the forge. To summon someone, you need to put the necessary items in the donation box and turn the handle.

Let's try to summon a formidable atronach, we will need: void salt and amethyst. We put them in the box, turn the handle and an atronach appears, but it immediately begins to attack us, so the point of summoning creatures is almost useless.

This machine is capable of not only summoning atronachs. Let's try to make void salts. For this we need: salt, a soul stone (any) and an amethyst, again we put everything in the box, turn the handle, and here are the salts of the void.

As it was said that the forge is the only machine for making staves, let's check it out. To create a staff for summoning a storm atronach, we will need: a broom, void salt, orichalcum ingot or ore and a soul stone (large, great or black). Again we put the necessary ingredients in the box, turn the handle and the staff appears.

You can also make Daedric weapons or armor (you need a Sigil stone). There are two ways to do this:

Summon the weapons and armor we need: the heart of a Daedra, a middling centurion generator, a black soul stone (filled) and an ebony weapon/armor (what type of ebothine weapon will be, the same will be a Daedric one). If an ebotine weapon is enchanted, then with a Daedric weapon it will disappear, and the forge does not accept enchanted armor at all.
Craft random armor and weapons with random enchantments. There are two recipes for summoning random weapons/armor. The first is intended for summoning weapons: silver sword + ebony ingot + Daedra heart + soul stone (large or black, filled). And the second one is for summoning armor: void salt + ebony ingot + Daedra heart + soul stone (large/black, filled).

As you can see, the armor and enchantment are random.

P.S.

Sometimes recipes can be found from other characters, but this happens rarely. They can mainly be found among necromancers. Here is the recipe for the Daedric Axe:

In chapter Others to the question In the game Skyrim, the gauntlet is under the college of magicians. given by the author Ivan Shcherbatov the best answer is In the Midden - Darkness dungeon under the College of Winterhold you will find a room with a hand in the center. There are a bunch of human skeletons lying around her and in the next room. On the table nearby is the Investigator's Key and the Midden Incident Report. From it you will learn about the tragedy that happened here. In the Arcaneum (College of Winterhold, entrance through the Hall of Elements), to the left of the librarian's desk, near the shelves, an investigator's chest will appear, containing four rings. Bring them to your hand and put them on each finger:
■on the index finger - Katarina’s ring;
■on the middle finger - Troy's ring;
■on the nameless one - the Balwen ring;
■on the little finger - Petey's ring.
Velek Sein will appear, the same one about whom the book was written (see above). It turns out that Velek is a Dremora. He will explain that the summoning spell will not let him go, and will offer to give him freedom so that he can again terrorize the seas of Nirn. In exchange, he is ready to give you his ancient treasure. You can try to banish him back to Oblivion, but this will result in him attacking you. You can just kill him. In both cases, all you get is a Daedra heart, rags and two regular scimitars.
You can also free Velek. He will keep his word and give you a treasure map. Finding a treasure from it is extremely problematic, but it is located here.
BugsEditIf you carry the rings taken from the chest with you for a long time (postponing the quest), they will disappear from the inventory. In this case, the investigator's chest will also remain empty.

Answer from Mark kilvan Arkhipov[active]
It’s better to let go and the Dremora are safe and the Dovahkiins are well-fed... There’s a lot of treasure there!

Answer from Vitaly Kholodenko[newbie]
And besides, it is updated as far as I know after a week of playing time.

Answer from Iuslan Nesterov[newbie]
yes thanks now it's clear.

Midden is a location, or more precisely a network of dungeons located under the Winterhold College of Mages. Access to midden Skyrim can be obtained by completing the quest line of the College of Mages.

College of Mages

The College of Mages of Winterhold is a community of magicians located, oddly enough, in Winterhold. The College of Mages is the only place in all of Skyrim where you can learn magic. It is not known for certain when the college was founded, but it is known that Shalidor is its founder.

The college building is located on a cliff made of ice and stone. The rock itself sits above a sea of ghosts. To get to the college, a bridge was built from Winterhold, which is located at a great height above the sea of ghosts, and to pass through it, you need to show your skills in using magic to the member of the college standing there.

After joining the College of Magicians, the quest line of the College of Magicians will begin, and the player will also receive the following benefits:

Opportunity to learn from masters of magic
Free access to the alchemy lab, enchanting table and alchemy table ingredients
Ability to use the Atronach Forge
Ability to purchase spell tomes from local merchants
Library with a huge number of books, as well as an orc librarian
Three characters who can become your companions
Asylum
Free bed
If a player suddenly attacks or kills a member of the college, he will be kicked out of the college. In order to become a member again, you need to talk to Tolfdir and pay a fine.

After the quest line of the college ends, in which the main character stops Ancano from destroying the college and Winterhold itself, and Savos Aren dies, the main character will become the leader of the college and, accordingly, the archmage. He will be able to pick up Savos Aren's clothes, and will also have at his disposal the archmage's personal chambers, in which there are a lot of items that can be taken, as well as a bunch of cabinets, an alchemical laboratory, a bed, and a mini-garden.

Now about how to get into midden Skyrim. One way or another, the player will have to get to the midden during the college quest line, after discovering an incomprehensible artifact in the ruins during an expedition. This artifact is incomprehensible and powerful, so the hero will have to solve its mystery. To do this, Tolfdir sends the hero to Midden so that he can talk with the Augur of Dunley. However, Ancano got ahead of him and took possession of the power of the artifact, but the hero will still win.

What's in Midden? Firstly, there are a huge number of draugr, ice ghosts, skeletons and spiders, crowds of them. You can also find various alchemical ingredients and firefly thoraxes, which are all there in abundance.

You can also find the following items in the midden:

A book on alchemy called “De Rerum Dirennis”
Atronach Forge Guide.
Several precious rubies, an orichalcum ingot, a firefly thorax and, most importantly, a broom.
Purified moonstone ingots, four pieces.
In total, there are three quests in the midden, namely:
“Good Intentions” - in this quest the hero needs to learn more about the artifact, the Eye of Magnus.
“Ritual Rite of Restoration” - the main part of the task takes place in Midden
“Ritual Rite of Illusion” - in Midden there is the fourth volume of the book needed in the quest.

That's all. I would also like to say that both Midden and College are very interesting places. The college is due to the cool storyline, and the opportunity to level up the character using the Daedra hearts and magic teachers there, and the midden thanks to the resources there, and, in fact, the Augur of Dunley, who simply breaks the mold for the player who comes there for the first time.
