One possible solution. (Click to enlarge)

• Investigate the tent and enter the south-western doorway.
• Climb up the ladder and pull both levers.
• Climb up the north-eastern ladder and push both pillars over the drains.
• Climb down the ladder and make sure that water is flowing through the southern channel. If it is not, operate the levers until it is.
  • The symbol at the top of a pillar represents the direction of water flow through the pillar.

Elementals

Recommended spots to drop the fuel. (Click to enlarge)

• Climb up the ladder.
• Mine the rubble at the tunnel at the end of the eastern channel and pull the southern lever until water flows to this tunnel.
• Climb down the ladder, enter the northern doorway, and then enter the south-eastern doorway.
  • There should be a waterfall. If water is only dripping, the levers were not operated properly.
• Take some Elemental fuel out of the fuel hopper (take 9 if following the solution pictured to the right).
• Lure an Elemental creature out of the strange device and into the waterfall by dropping the fuel on the floor.
• Do the above step a total of three times.
• Exit the room through the northern doorway.

Doorway two

Vines

Items needed: Combat gear, weapons, food, standard prayers

• Enter the arcane doorway and then enter the western doorway.
• Attempt to destroy a root surrounding the strange device.
• Follow the vines on the floor and destroy four lone roots to which the vines lead.
• Go back to the strange device.
• Kill the Decaying avatar.
  • Destroy the roots when they appear at the corners of the room.
  • Strategies can be found here.
• Exit the room through the eastern doorway.

Smoke

Items needed: Magic weapon, fire runes, air runes

• Talk to the knight near the eastern doorway.
• Before entering the next room, consider turning on Piety to avoid constant damage and stat reduction or bringing a Super restore potion to keep your magic level high enough to cast a fire spell. The Corruption beasts inside restore prayer upon death.
• Enter the eastern doorway.
• Take five stone slabs from the rubble around the room.
• Place the stone slabs to complete and cross the bridge across the central body of water.
• Ignite the barrels with a magic weapon equipped and a fire spell active (75 Magic required to ignite the barrels).
• Cross the bridge and exit the room through the western doorway.

Nomad

• Make any necessary preparations to fight Nomad.
• Enter the arcane doorway at the inner southern wall. ( 1•~)…

  1	Yes.
  ~	[Any option]

• Kill Nomad.
  • Strategies can be found here. Recommended if you haven't fought him before.
    • In short; bombs laid on the floor deal 4,000 damage when stepped on.
    • "You cannot hide from my wrath" deals 7,500 damage. Either eat above that or hide behind a pillar.
    • If he summons clones, the real one attacks you last, otherwise kill them all.
    • "Face me!" if he doesn't hit you in time, he restores his life points and teleports you. (For example, if you were hiding behind a pillar)
    • Towards the end of the fight he teleports you to the center and stuns you. The next attack deals all your maximum life points, minus 1. So eat to full.
    • "This. Ends. Now" starts attacking you rapidly. It's important to finish him off at this point and not hide, otherwise he will restore his life points and you'll have to restart the fight.
