So I'm posting this because I'm doing a replay of Arcanum, and I really didn't want to kill Hervor, makes me feel like an ass, but I need that 800 XP!
All the guides I could find claim that killing Hervor is unavoidable if you want to destroy the steam engine, but after a lot of trial and error I managed it. Here's my method:
1. Tell your companions to wait somewhere outside the room Hervor is in.
2. Make sure the doors are closed.
3. Go into the far right corner of the room Hervor is in and Prowl. (I did this with 13 Dex and no Prowl skill)
4. Make sure he can't see you.
5. Equip a bow.
6. Shoot the lantern so its dark.
7. Shoot the control box until it breaks.
If it works the same as it did for me, he shouldn't notice what you're doing. I can't swear it'll work the same way for everyone else, but this was super fun for me to figure out.
