Dropped by the Mawsworn nearby. Pro tip: join an Akkaris killing group and drag all the mobs around to it.

Comment by ohatcheejack

You will definitely need a group if you're squishy. The items you need to click on are surrounded by elite Mawsworn.

Comment by Baldergast

Seems odd that with all the solo stuff and everything we have done so far to tag this questline on at the end that is pretty tricky (or damned slow) depending on if you're squishy or not. Think I missed the bus when people were grouping up for this.. oh well :p

Comment by edwallols

The description isn't absolutely clear so:

You need to get 4 "Attunement Codex" to drop from nearby Mawsworn. Take the 4 "Attunement Codex" (plural of codex is codices) to the 4 terminals in the area and click on the terminals.

There are elites that drop the 4 "Attunement Codex" but there are also non-elite Plunderers all over the area that have a higher drop rate and are easy to solo if you can pull them without also pulling nearby elites.

I have an add-on that points out which mobs drop quest items but it didn't work for this quest.

Comment by Mindsoothe

After leveling a 4th alt in ZM, I have come to realize that not completing any quest in Endless Sand with Talia and Bolvar but time these with these Maw-related elite quests makes a difference. Especially on mage, resto shammy classes. For example Chapter 5/7 of the campaign Aggressive Excavation I did not do until I finished the Finding Tah'li chain which would have needed a group. With 2 paladins along, how can I go wrong? :) Bolvar holds aggro and you can hear Taelia with her flash heals.

Comment by Spilledstars

I will start at noting
BAD BLIZZARD NO DOUGHNUT BOXES & NO DOZENS. To make loud and long the claim that if we're not raiders at least the Zereth Mortis zone has transmogs, critters, and lets you craft your own battle pets and mounts IS COMPLETELY WRECKED BY THE LOCKDOWN that you have to have two group-3 quests in a hard area and one of them is definitely parked down a hall where no passersby will ever find you... no, it's not good design. I'm not even sure a raider wants to solo this.

So making protoform mounts is going to remain a rarity. That said, here's everything gathered to try and help as best I can. I may update this as time bends onward, since I have not yet succeeded at the pair of locked up quests nor the thread as a whole.

per the tabled-list from Mypciscraze
6a Maintenance Mode <==== THIS QUEST. Kodah requires both before giving us more to do.

press on 4 Arrangement Terminal but to do it you need 4 Attunement Codex drop from all mobs around.

GET SOME ASSISTANCE if you're at all squishy or weak in fighting style. All the mobs in the sandy zones of Zereth Mortis are tough and most of them are elites, some even fly. I only succeeded at this with the help of the World Quest where Rana offers a small squad of assisting automa to help, and even then you have to have some skill at dropping the little green circle ("reticule") near where you want to fight after pulling foes there. I think the automa will only strike into the dropped circle, but the cooldown isn't too bad. Automa Ops

Arrangement Terminal location
/way 64 35
/way 66 34
/way 65 31
/way 63 32

More precise locations given by WolfStarbuck which include comments, so TomTom won't wipe them out when you pass near:
/way 63.64 32.89 Terminal 1
/way 63.93 35.69 Terminal 2
/way 65.38 31.87 Terminal 3
/way 66.35 34.48 Terminal 4

6b Access Request
(from Sipder2 over on the Restoration Matrix quest item's page)

/way 65,8, 35,9 cave entrance

(from Mypiscraze)

Get inside chamber 65 36

(from me)
...by killing the two door guards and coming down the hall, then girding your loins and gear clicking the door open.
In fact, I recommend you gird your loins first. Get your pocopoc gems from the little triangle consoles. get your buff from the waterfall near Pilgrim's Grace (Grace of the First Ones) for its healing.

FIND FRIENDS. If need be shout on General that you're on the two quests to unlock the Mounts Forging from protoform synthesis and swarm this space with people who are on the phase for it. It's deep enough down a hallway whose front door is full of elites...
Edit 1: added from seeing Deloria's comment on Access Request.
A. find friends using LFG, the quest is so frustrating that many may be stuck on the phase.
B. Don't forget to grab the Schematic for the Raptora that is in this room once you've won.
(extra Edit: I found no such schematic, so I left. Dunno what happened to it. 9 Oct 2022)

Edit 2: I worked my cyphers level up all 3 ranks of Similic (5 powers allowed) and all 3 ranks of Enlic (spheres only cost 2 to get) so that I could have the following powers up.

my primary stat (I switched to Prot, hence, "Potentialic" = STR)
Cooldowns 10% chance of not cooling - "Efficialic"
10% chance to deflect physical - "Deflectialic". I wanted the same for magic, but as a paladin, I do have Spellwarding, your stuff may vary.
um, a couple other useful ones, but they've expired, so I can't read them.

I also put Pocopoc on defensive mode (and there are a couple of gem-spheres that help him in this, I didn't use) and I have 1 out of 2 points Suplim from the last column so he gave me a barrier somewhat.

THE FOES ARE CASTERS and the miniboss loves to drop bombs

Edit 3: keep moving! Also, 2 hordies showed up who also needed the quest. Not sure I could have done it without them, so I helped them tap him again.

The miniboss has friends who are all drain-casting thugs on their own, and respawn quickly even when slain, so at least at time of this posting, you cannot just slog through clobbering one punk at a time until you're alone with the Dominated Architect.
(or maybe if you are Sipder2 on shadowpriest and good with timing, you can. His video looks good)

Edit 4: I was very careful so I was able to take out only the two casters ahead of the Dominated Architect but his two side buddies did join the fight when I had to bounce around. Still better than having the smoke pulled out of me.

(from Mypiscraze)

and kill Dominated Architect
( 66 39 inside chamber )

...he's slightly at the back, so you might be able to tag him alone if you're teleport-strong or rather stealthy. But "Group 3" isn't the half of it; if you're a melee class, you WILL be standing in fire (light gold overlapping circles of ugh) to get him. (the bombs.)

to get Restoration Matrix (you have to LOOT IT from him, not just kill him and leave).

then go to other chamber 68 30.
(adding for tomtom convenience)
/way 68 30 other chamber

Finally - worth mention - The synthesis forge itself is elsewhere
With much thanks to the Guide https://www.wowhead.com/guides/protoform-synthesis-crafting-system-mounts-pets-zereth-mortis
/way 61.8 58.9 Pet Forge Entrance
