Basalt Fortress - Where is the "Control Rod"

Annotated maps walkthrough and other sources say to "Head south and you'll find the room in which the three great shades were made. Grab the control rod from the west, and head down the nearby stairs."

 

I am having trouble finding the "control rod" IF that is what the item is called when using [Journal][special Items] :(

 

Can someone tell me EXACTLY where it is, or better, provide a map that has the location marked :huh:

Talk with Kabraxaz, then head east. Beef up, then take the vahnatai

guarding the doors out. You can then either recruit the friendly vahnatai to

your cause or kill the enemies on your own. Either way works. As you make

your way through the fortress, be on the lookout for crystals of divine

restoration and divine host (requires a bit more arcane lore). Head to the

NW, and some wolves will be let out of pens. Kill them, then explore their

pen for two caches. Disable the machine immediately to the south to help the

vahnatai keep fighting. Head south and kill the drake for some icedrake

vambraces (cold resistance but otherwise similar to some of your items), and a

nest with blessed bracers. Head south and you'll find the room in which the

three great shades were made. Grab the control rod from the west, and head

down the nearby stairs.

You just quoted the Walkthrough which is no help :cry:

 

I've already tried following those instructions and cannot fine the Control Rod. A screenshot of the map with the location marked would be the best way to do this.
