In the previews of SF, there were piccies and videos of a group fighting a boss with this gigantic robo-looking thing. I had no idea what it was, and everyone i talked to had never ever fought it or went to the area where it was located. What is that thing and where do you fight it exactly?

The group never fought the Iron Forgeman, if I recall the preview correctly. It's just background; you'll never directly fight him, although he will do stuff to you. You'll only see him in the final SF quest, named "Final Assault".

he does stuff like what?

And how do you exactly reach the place where he is?

Does it have to do with the gears?

If it's not too much, can anyone tell me why that thing is there on the final quest?

It's probably better if you find out yourself. Just do Final Assault, which you get after finishing "To Sorrow's Furnace" from the Dwarven Prospector. And no, you don't reach the Forgeman through gears. The area where the Iron Forgeman is located is blocked off unless you're doing Final Assault.

If it's not too much, can anyone tell me why that thing is there on the final quest? He does stuff like pour molten metal on you(AoE fire damage) and drops stuff on you(like the meteors in ring of fire) while you're fighting a bunch of other enemies. As has been said, do Final Assault, and you'll see

You can only reach this area of the furnace in the Final Assault mission- you get powder kegs you can use to blast your way in to where he's at.

As for why it's there, it's part of the quest objectives for Final Assault, and it's really cool-looking!

Yes, my guild leader actually did a fraps video of us defeating him. It's available from the main page of XionNights.com (Quicktime format), and may contain spoilers.
