NOTE: If you've downloaded my guide, to navigate your way through it a
little easier use the Control F feature. Press and hold "Ctrl" and "F"
and a window will pop up, simply type in the number of the section
located above you wish to jump to (e.g. #22) and click "Find Next" to
jump to that section of the guide, you may have to click find next two
times. This navigation process is really quick and it sure beats
scrolling all the way down this insanely long document to get to the
section you want to be in. This works on most of the walkthroughs out
there so remember it and use it on all of the guides you download.

* 1) INTRODUCTION TO WALKTHROUGH *
----------------------------------
Welcome to my very in-depth and extensive Walkthrough for Neverwinter
Nights: Hordes of the Underdark. This series is without a doubt, in my
opinion, the best RPG video game series ever made. It took Bio Ware over
six years to make this series for us and I'm sure you will agree with my
above stated opinion once you play it. This game uses the 3rd Edition
Dungeons and Dragons rules so if you play D&D in real life then you will
have no problems understanding all of the rules, dice rolls, saving
throws, skill checks, and all that technical stuff. If you've never
played D&D in real life and are not familiar with it don't worry, this is
a really simple game to learn so sit back, pop the game disc in, and get
ready for the greatest RPG video gaming experience you've ever had the
pleasure of playing.
A bunch of new things were added to this campaign, you can now attain
the Epic Status with your Player Character to enable a bunch of new
bonuses, skills and feats; you can take your PC all the way to the 40th
level. New Skills, feats, spells, items, weapons, armor, shields, etc.
were added in also. You now have better control over your henchman and
can choose what spells they use, weapons they wield, and so forth. In
this campaign you can hire two henchman at a time as well. A bunch of new
Prestige Classes were also introduced into this campaign, some of them are
really excellent like the Palemaster or Weapons Master.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> IN-GAME SCREENS <<<
In Neverwinter Nights your character is always in the center of
the screen. You interact with the world using the mouse to move a
cursor around the screen, and the left and right mouse buttons to
execute actions. When you move the mouse over an object or creature,
the mouse icon changes to an action icon indicating the default action
for that object. To perform the default action click the left mouse
button. To perform another action right-click on the target to bring
up the Radial Menu.
Left-click on the screen to move your character around the game
world. Attack a hostile creature by moving your cursor over the
creature; the icon will change to the combat icon. Left-click to begin
your attack.
RADIAL MENU
-----------
The Radial Menu is your primary tool for interacting with the world of
Neverwinter Nights. Bring up the Radial Menu by moving the mouse over
the object you wish to interact with, and then press the right mouse
button. A Radial Menu will pop up with the object in the center.
The Radial Menu contains a ring of possible actions that you can
perform on the object, from casting a spell to attacking the target.
Left-click to perform the selected action. Some actions may have a
small arrow beside them indicating another level of actions, which you
can access by left-clicking. A small ring is visible around the action
with an arrow beside it. The ring is actually a preview of the next
level of the menu allowing you to see at a glance what the next level
will hold.
You can also click the and hold the right mouse button and navigate the
Radial Menu by moving the mouse. You can also control the Radial Menu
with the numeric keypad: Each number key corresponds to a location in
the Radial Menu (i.e. 8 is to the top, 2 is down, 7 is to the top-
left).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> MAIN GAMEPLAY SCREEN <<<
The main screen has nine distinct sections, which give you
valuable information about the game and offer you control over your
character in the game.
THE CHARACTER PORTRAIT
----------------------
In the top right corner of the main screen is your character portrait,
this is the portrait you choose for your character and is what other
players see when they examine your character in the game. Beside the
portrait is a narrow red bar that shows your character's current
health. If the health bar turns green it indicates your character is
poisoned. If the bar turns brown your character is diseased.
THE OPTIONS BOX
---------------
Underneath your character portrait is a light tan box with eight
different options in it. Here you can click buttons to bring up the
various screens needed to manipulate your character, such as the in-
game map, the Inventory screen, the Journal, the Character Sheet, the
Options Menu, Spellbook, and the Player vs. Player Options panel.
THE PARTY BAR
-------------
This is where other members of your party appear and is underneath the
Options Box, in singleplayer and multiplayer. You can add other
players to your party through the "Socialize" Radial Menu option (for
multiplayer only). Under the "Socialize" menu you can invite another
player to join your party by selecting the "Invite" Radial Menu option.
The invited player can then go under the "Socailize" option and select
"Join Party" (again, only for multiplayer). The rest of the
information in this paragraph is for both multi and singleplayer
gameplay. If you summon a creature, the creature is added in to your
Party Bar while it is present. You can use the party bar to get quick
information on your party members or to perform actions on them by
right-clicking and bringing up a Radial Menu. The small bar on the
left side of the portrait shown the current health of the character.
In the top slot on the right side there is an arrow icon. The arrow
points the direction that character is from your character. An icon
showing the current action the character is undertaking, whether it is
combat, spell casting, or resting. A skull will appear if the
character is dead.
THE CHAT WINDOW
---------------
This is located at the bottom of the gameplay screen, above your
Quickbar and Chat Entry bars. The Chat Window displays messages from
other players, both NPC's and PC's. In this window also appears how
much XP points you gain by killing enemies and for completeing quests,
how much damage you inflict on a hostile and take in return, lets you
know when your Journal gets updated, and so on. You can drag the Chat
Window up for a longer window by dragging up the black tab at the top
of the window. You can also right-click on the tab to set the various
filters for chat messages in each window. To filter a window for only
combat messages (for multiplayer only), open the Raidial Menu on the
Chat Window tab and toggle all the other chat displays off. For a
quick reply to someone who just has chatted with you, click the
portrait of the speaker.
THE CHAT ENTRY BAR
------------------
This bar is only used in multiplayer and is located directly beneath
the Chat Window, above the Quickbar slot. This is where you type in
messages to other players. Hit the Enter key or click in the bar to
type a chat message. You can use various slash commands to control the
type of message you are sending. An "/S" (shout) before your text
sends the message as a shout which goes out area wide. A "/P" sends
your message to the other members of your party. A "/T <playername>"
(tell) or "/W <playername>" (whisper) sends a private message to the
player you have specified with <playername>.
THE QUICKBAR
------------
This is located on the bottom of the gameplay screen. The Quickbar
provides quick and easy access to common game actions. Each "cell" in
the bar corresponds to a function key on the keyboard. When you press
the associated key, the command placed in the cell is executed. You
can drag items from your inventory to the Quickbar and hit the key or
click the cell to use or equip the item, depending on what it is. You
can also place spells into the Quickbar by dragging the icons from your
prepared spells or by right-clicking on the Quickbar to to open the
Radial Menu and select the spell. There are also two more Quickbars in
addition to the one one the game screen, to access these you must press
and hold "Shift" or "Ctrl."
THE COMPASS
-----------
The Compass is located in the bottom-right of the game screen, above
the Quickbar and Chat Entry bars. This Compass is a simple directional
pointer. The "N" in the Compass always points north, so if you walk
your character in the same direction the "N" indicator is pointing, you
will be moving directly north.
THE ACTION QUEUE
----------------
This is located on the top-left carner of the game screen. The Action
Queue shows the actions your character is currently performing and any
actions you have set up to be performed. In the heat of combat you may
find yourself issuing commands faster than your character can execute
them. These commands are issued to the Action Queue and they will be
performed in order. If you desire to remove an action from the queue,
right-click the action.
THE STATUS BAR
--------------
This is located to the left of your Character Portrait. Then Status
Bar shows any special effects currently active on your character.
Beneficial spells and effects, such as ability bonuses, and negative
effects, such as poisons and diseases, appear in the Status Bar. Hold
the mouse over any of the icons to get a text definition of the effect.
When an icon in the Status Bar blinks, it signals the effects are about
to expire.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> CHARACTER SHEET <<<
To access your Character Sheet simply left-click on your Character
Portrait or clicking the Character Sheet in the Options Box. The
Character Sheet panel shows all of the vital statistics and abilities
of your character. Along the top of the Character Sheet panel are tabs
for accessing other information about your character.
SKILLS PANEL
------------
The Skills panel displays all of your character's skills and his
modifier in each. The Skill Modifier that is listed here equals total
ranks in the skill plus Ability Score Modifiers. Select any skill to
get more information about it, including its key ability and what is
costs to upgrade.
FEATS PANEL
-----------
The Feats panel dispalys all of your character's Feats, as well as
racial and class abilities.
SPELLS PANEL
------------
You may also access your Spell panel by clicking on the appropriate
button in the Options Box or by opening up the Radial Menu. The Spells
panel is composed of two panels: Spellbook and Spell Preparation.
Wizards, Clerics, Druids, Paladins, and Rangers are required to prepare
their spells before casting them, while Bards and Sorceres do not.
To prepare a spell first select the spellcasting class and spell level
within the Spellbook screen. A tree of all available spells is shown
below the selected level. If your character has any Metamagic Feats he
can enhance prepared spells by selecting the small arrow icon on the
left. This icon opens to display those spells that can be enhanced.
Get information on any spell by clicking the Inspect button to the
right of the spell name.
Once you have selected the spell you wish to prepare, either click on
the small arrow on the right or drag the spell icon into a prepared
slot. Multiclass spellcasters may need to repeat this process for each
of their spellcasting classes. When all slots are filled, press "Rest"
from the Radial Menu or from the Options Box. Once your character is
rested he can cast his prepared spells.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> INVENTORY PANEL <<<
The Inventory panel displays all of your character's equipment.
The area at the top of the screen shows those items that are currently
equipped, and the grid at the bottom of the screen displays your
character's total inventory.
Select an item by left-clicking on it, or click and hold the left
mouse button and drag the item between inventory slots.
On the lower-right side of the inventory are a number of small
tabs that allow you to access all the panes of your inventory. The
weight your character is carrying is displayed above the maximum weight
he can carry along the bottom of the panel. If your character exceeds
this maximum weight, he or she will be encumbered and will not be able
to run.
Your current gold and current item points are displayed on the
right side. Each magic item has an item point value, which is added to
your item point total when you have the item equipped or in your
inventory. When you reach your maximum item point total, you cannot
pick up any more magic items. Your character's maximum item points
rise each time he gains a level (this shouldn't be a really big factor
in the game for you, I never ran into this problem but it can happen,
especially if you're playing on Hardcore Difficulty).
EQUIPPING ITEMS
---------------
To equip an item drag it over an appropriate equip slot and drop it.
You can also equip items using the Radial Menu. Right-click the item
and select the Radial Menu "Equip" option to assign the item to a
default equip slot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> CONVERSATION PANEL <<<
The Conversation panel is your primary tool for interacting with
other characters in Neverwinter Nights. A portrait of the character
you are speaking with is displayed in the top-left of the window, and
this character's dialogue is displayed to the right of the portrait.
Underneath the portrait are your character's response options.
The first response shown has a red comment, indicating a skill or
special ability that this conversation allows, such as Persuade or
Insight for example. In this case, the player character's Intelligence
score has given him some insight into the NPC's dialogue. The player
could left-click this response to cause his character to reply with the
line, or choose any other. Intelligence and Charisma are the two main
abilities that grant special conversation options, but in a few cases a
high Strength can aid in threatening a reluctant informer or a high
Wisdom can open a new conversation path.
You can stop a conversation at any time by pressing the "Esc" key,
walking away, or performing a hostile action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> MAP PANEL <<<
The Map panel displays a top-down map of your current area. The
map expands as you explore, allowing you to see new areas and track
where you have been. The small icons on the map are map pins. Each
map pin has a label associated with the pin, which appears at the top
of the map window.
You can place your own map pins by clicking in the pin box on the
top-left and then clicking on the map where you wish to place the pin.
Once the pin is placed a dialogue window pops up and you can enter the
text you wish to associate with that pin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> JOURNAL PANEL <<<
The Journal panel displays the status of the adventure and the
status of various quests you have undertaken. The tabs at the top of
the screen toggle between three specific journals.
The first tab on the left displays your character's personal
journal. The personal journal tracks information about quests you have
accepted and characters you have spoken with. The personal journal is
very important, be sure to read it often to check your progress on
quests.
The next tab displays your completed quests. Any quests from your
personal journal that are completed will be automatically moved to this
tab.
The third tab is empty; this is provided for you to jot down notes
and impressions during the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> STORES AND BARTER PANEL <<<
STORES PANEL
------------
Buying items from a store is very similar to using a container. The
store appears on the left side and your inventory is on the right. To
buy an item, drag in into your inventory. A dialogue box will pop up
asking if you wish to purchase the item. If you agree and have enough
money, the exchange is made and the item is placed into your inventory.
BARTER PANEL
------------
This panel is available for multiplayer only. The Barter panel
functions in a manner similar to the container panel. On the left side
are the other player's offered items and the right side holds any items
you wish to offer for trade. When you are happy with the items on both
sides, click the Offer button. When an offer is made the other player
has two choices, he can accept or refuse - either by changing the items
in his slots or clicking the Cancel button. This system requires that
both players agree to a trade before it can happen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> OPTIONS PANEL <<<
Neverwinter Nights has a large number of options available for
customizing the game to suit your playing style. To change any option
in the game open the Options panel by pressing the "Esc" or "O" keys,
or by clicking the appropriate button in the Options Box.
To load a game click on the Load button and then pick the game you
wish to load. To save a game click on the Save button and then select
the game slot you wish to save in and type in a name for the game.
The Save Character button allows you to save your character out of
your current game so you can use that character in another adventure.
If you advance your character outside of your existing save game, the
next time you load the game you will be asked if you wish to update
your character. If you answer "Yes" your most recent version of the
character is brought into your previous save game.
VIDEO OPTIONS
-------------
This option contains the settings that apply to your video display.
You can set texture detail, screen resolution and various graphical
options. As a rule of thumb, the more features you disable the faster
the game will run. If the game is running poorly on your computer, try
disabling features until performance improves.
SOUND OPTIONS
-------------
This option allows you to customize the game sound and to enable or
disable various sound options.
CONTROLS
--------
This option allows you to change your camera mode and cycle through
various control options. You can, for example, enable driving mode and
control your character with the keyboard.
CHANGE KEY SETTINGS
-------------------
This option allows you to customize the Neverwinter Nights hotkeys. At
the top of the key-mapping panel are tabs for the various headings of
hotkeys. To change a key, click the control you wish to change and
press the key you want to map to that control. You cannot map the same
key to multiple controls so be aware of what keys you have already
mapped.
GAME OPTIONS
------------
This option will allow you to tweak the game difficulty and change
other gameplay options. It is recommended most people play the game on
the default settings since the game is evenly balanced at these
settings. If you are an experienced D&D player you might consider
selecting the "Hardcore D&D" option, which implicates some of the more
complex aspects of the rules system.
HIT POINTS: At Normal difficulty or easier these are granted via the
following procedure: The character gains a maxium HP from from level 1-
3. For levels 4 and above they will roll their HP but will only accept
a minimum roll of 1/2 of their possible HP, rounded up. For example, a
Wizard who normally rolls d4 for HP will get at least 3 HP every level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> COMMON INTERACTIONS <<<
CREATURES
---------
Hostile creatures turn red when you mouse over them and the mouse
cursor will change to the Attack icon. You can gauge the difficulty of
a creature by examining it. Right-click to bring up the Radial Menu
and select the "Examine" option in the top-center.
Non-hostile creatures appear blue (or green if they are in your party)
when you mouse over them, and the mouse cursor changes to the talk
cursor.
ITEMS
-----
Right-click to open the Radial Menu and select the "Examine" option to
get more information about an item. If an item is unidentified it may
be magic; use the Lore skill or the Identify spell to identify magic
items (or bring it to a shopkeeper who can identify the item for a
price).
Items and weapons can be equipped directly from the ground using the
Radial Menu. Items and weapons can also be assigned to the Quickbar,
where they would be used normally when selected. Right-click on a
Quickbar item with multiple uses and select "Assign Special Use" to
define the default use of the item.
Some items (such as gems and arrows) can be stacked. To stack items
just drag like items onto eachother, most of the time the game will
stack these items for you if you have a like item in your inventory.
Different item types have various maximum stack sizes. Also, you can
seperate stacks by right-clicking on the item to open the Radial Menu,
select the "Split" option and then type in how many items you want in
the second stack.
CONTAINERS
----------
Containers are handled in much the same way as ordinary inventory. The
bottom of the panel contains inventory and the top represents the
contents of the container. You can drag items back and forth, click on
the item, or use the Radial Menu to pick them up.
Open containers by left-clicking them, or select the "Use" option from
the Radial Menu. Locked containers can be picked, bashed open, or
opened with a spell. Select "Lockpick" and "Bash" from the Radial Menu
on the container, or cast a spell such as Knock, on the container.
You can activate levers and other special-use devices by left-clicking
them, or by selecting "Use" option from the Radial Menu.
DOORS
-----
If you have the right key you can unlock a door. Otherwise, you can
pick, bash open, or open most doors with a spell. If you have the key,
left-click on the door or select "Use" from the Radial Menu. Select
"Lockpick" and "Bash" from the Radial Menu on any locked door. Cast
the Knock spell on a locked door to try and open it without damaging
the door.
You can lock some doors by select "Lock" from the Radial Menu. If the
"Lock" radial option does not appear then the door cannot be locked.
DISARMING TRAPS
---------------
Traps must be found before they can be disarmed. To search for traps
select "Active Search" from the "Use Skill" selection in the Radial
Menu. In Active Search mode your character moves at a walk and makes
Search rolls with his full Skill Modifier. When not in Active Search
mode, Search checks to detect traps are made at half your character's
Skill Modifier.
When a trap is detected on an area on the ground, door, or container,
it will turn red - this area is the active trap. You can mouse over a
detected trap and right-click to bring up the Radial Menu, which will
display options including disarming the trap and recovering the trap.
It is more difficult to recover a trap than to disarm it, but you can
use a recovered trap later against enemies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TIME AND RESTING <<<
ROUNDS AND TURNS
----------------
A round in game time is approximately six seconds in length. A turn is
ten rounds over sixty seconds.
GAME TIME AND REAL TIME
-----------------------
Every two minutes of real time is equal to an hour of Neverwinter
Nights game time. That means that 48 minutes of real time is equal to
24-hour Neverwinter Nights game time.
RESTING
-------
Some spells and effects have durations equal to one game day. These
effects disappear after 48 minutes of real time OR after the character
rests.
Resting only takes 30 seconds of real time, but has all the game
effects of a full 24-hours of rest. Spells are prepared, effects
disappear, items with charges per day are recharged, your HP get fully
recovered, and so on.

-------------------------
* 4) CHARACTER CREATION *
-------------------------
Before you can play Neverwinter Nights you first have to decide
what type of character you want to play. There is a great deal of room
for customization, so this may seem a little intimidating at first. It
is best to remember that there are no good or bad characters and
different people appreciate different aspects of the game. You can
create any number of characters so feel free to experiment.
One way to navigate the Character Creation process is to start
with a character concept. Many roleplayers enjoy mimicking figures
from history, myth, or pop culture. Those who enjoy a challenge
sometimes construct a flawed character, perhaps one who is sickly or a
bit of a buffoon. Perhaps they might take a classical sterotype and
play it in a new and refreshing manner, like a Dwarven Barbarian who is
scholarly or prefers a sling to an axe. Regardless of where the
inspiration comes from, once you have a concept the process of
character creation is much easier.
Neverwinter Nights has a very flexible system for character
modification, so don't worry much about the decisions you make early
on. For example, you might create a Gnome Barbarian to prove to other
players that Gnomes make the best warriors, but after awhile realize
that you are spending more time glorifying him with tales and poems
than actually fighting. At that point he could become a Bard, a class
better suited to that style of play. He would still have his Barbarian
roots but could freely advance as a Bard thereafter. Remember, much of
the fun of Dungeons & Dragons is in watching your character grow and
change.
Creating a character is exciting but it can be a daunting process.
If you are ever unsure of how to proceed past a screen, or if you
aren't sure how to make the best decision, press the Recommended button
and the program will make a good choice for you. You can also return
to the beginning of the process and select a "Package," which is a set
of Feats and Skills chosen around a particular theme. Here's a list of
all the things you must decide on to create a character:
GENDER
------
The first step in creating your character is to choose a gender.
Select either male or female.
RACE
----
There are many races in Neverwinter Nights, each with its own strengths
and weaknesses. See the Races section below to learn more on race.
PORTRAIT
--------
Select a portrait for you character.
CLASS
-----
A class is the profession or vocation of your character. It determines
what he or she is able to do, including combat training, magical
ability, and skills. In selecting the right class for a character keep
in mind your core concept for that character. The eleven basic
selections can approximate most any character concept and often and you
will have several options available. For example, both Rangers and
Fighters make excellent archer characters, and Paladins and Clerics are
both excellent in hunting down undead monsters. For class-specific
information, look in the section below titled Classes.
ALIGNMENT
---------
Alignment reflects how your character relates to the concepts of good
and evil, law and chaos. It can affect how NPC's react within the game
and will occasionally determine whether an item can be used or not
(some items have alignments of their own and will not allow a conflict
with its user). The main purpose of alignment is to act as a guideline
for consistent roleplaying, though it is not cast in stone. The
alignment of a character can change to match the style in which they
are played, if deviation is consistent and serious. All of the nine
alignments listed are viable choices for adventurers, though the "evil"
variants are more often the domain of villians and monsters.
ALIGNMENT GRID:
100 ----------------------------------------------------
| Chaotic Good | Neutral Good | Lawful Good |
Law/ 70 -----------------|-----------------|----------------|
Chaos | Chaotic Neutral | Neutral Neutral | Lawful Neutral |
Axis 30 -----------------|-----------------|----------------|
| Chaotic Evil | Neutral Evil | Lawful Evil |
0 ----------------------------------------------------
100 70 30 0
Good/Evil Axis
Note: Neutral Neutral is commonly refered to as True Neutral.
ABILITY SCORES
--------------
The bascis characteristics that define your character are divided among
six ability scores. Each of these represents a particular aspect of
your character, and skills that draw from these traits are modified
depending on your score in them. Certain classes also favor certain
abilities over others, and derive much of their effectiveness from a
high score in these areas.
STRENGTH: Strength measures muscle and physical power. This ability is
especially important for Fighters, Barbarians, Paladins, Rangers and
Monks, because it helps them prevail in combat.
DEXTERITY: Dexterity measures agility, reflexes and balance. This
ability is most important for Rogues, but also for characters who
typically wear light or medium armor (Barbarians and Rangers) or none
at all (Monks, Wizrads and Sorcerers), or for any character who wants
to be a skilled archer.
CONSTITUTION: Constitution represents health and stamina. High
Constitution increases the number of HP a character has (affecting how
much damage the character can take), which makes it important for all
classes, but especially Fighters. If Constitution ever increases a
character's HP increase retroactively. Spellcasters need a strong
Constitution to keep their spells from being interrupted during combat.
INTELLIGENCE: Intelligence determines how well your character learns
and reasons. Intelligence is important for Wizards because it affects
how many spells they can cast, how hard their spells are to resist, and
the power of these spells. Intelligence is also important for any
character who wants to have a strong assortment of skills, however,
increasing your Intelligence will not grant bonus Skill Points
retroactively. NOTE: Sorcerers do not use Intelligence for casting
spells - they use Charisma instead. Warning: An Intelligence score
lower than 9 means that your character is unable to speak properly.
WISDOM: Wisdom describes a character's willpower, common sense,
perception, and intuition, where Intelligence represents the ability to
analyze information. An "absent-minded professor" has low Wisdom and
high Intelligence. A simpleton with low Intelligence might nevertheless
have great insight (high Wisdom). Wisdom is important for Clerics and
Druids, as it affects the strength and number of their spells. Wisdom
is also significant for Paladins and Rangers.
CHARISMA: Charisma measures force of personality, persuasiveness,
ability to lead, and physical attractiveness. It represents actual
personal strength, not merely how one is perceived by others in a
social setting. Charisma is most important for Paladins, Sorcerers,
and Bards. It is also important for Clerics, as it affects their
ability to Turn Undead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> RECOMMENDED STATISTICS <<<
Generally, a character should have at least ten points in any
given statistic, as this will prevent that character from receiving any
penalties. This is not manditory however, and the most interesting
characters are sometimes the most flawed.
Every character should have a high ability score in at least one
of his core class abilities. For example, a Paladin should have a
Charisma of 12 or higher to gain the most benefit from his class
abilities, and a Wizard should have high Intelligence if he wants to
cast high-level spells. Certain classes may have multiple core
abilities - for example both Charisma and Dexterity are important to
Bards. In this case the player must decide whether to split his focus
between these abilities or concentrate on one to the detriment of the
other.
Each Ability Score has a modifier, form -5 to +15 and even higher.
Most Player Characters have ability modifiers between -1 and +4, but
some extraordinary characters begin the game with modifiers as high as
+5 or as low as -2.

>>> POINT BUY SYSTEM <<<
Neverwinter Nights determines ability scores with a system based
on points rather than random dice rolls. A player starts with an
ability score of 8 in each of his six abilities and then draws from a
pool of 30 points to raise these abilities.
As an ability score is raised to exceptional levels it becomes
more expensive to raise further, as per the following chart. Raising
an Ability Score from 8 to 16 costs ten points, so be careful not to
neglect the rest of your character's abilities while making one or two
exceptional.

look like elves. To elves they look like humans. Half-elves are
paler, fairer and smoother-skinned than their human parents, but their
actual skin tones and other details vary just as human features do.

================================================================= #6 ==
-----------------------------
* 6) CORE CHARACTER CLASSES *
-----------------------------
>>> BARBARIAN <<<
Barbarians are brave, even reckless, and their warrior skills make
them well suited for adventure. Barbarians have a powerful rage that
makes them stronger and better able to withstand attacks. They only
have the energy for a few such displays per day but it is usually
sufficient. Constant exposure to danger has also given barbarians a
sort of sixth sense, the preternatural ability to sense danger and
dodge attacks, and their running stamina is legendary.

They love to accompany heroes (and villians) to witness heroic (or
villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from
personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A Bard casts
arcane spells without any advance preperation, much like a Sorcerer.
Bards also share some specialized skills with Rouges and their
knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score
allows a Bard to cast high-level spells.

>>> CLERIC <<<
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the Divine
(or Infernal) worlds. A good Cleric helps those in need, while an evil
Cleric seek to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world.
All Clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of
death and powerful Clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all
Clerics have authority over undead creatures and they can turn away or
even destroy these creatures. Clerics can use simple weapons and all
forms of weapons and shields without penalty, since armor does not
interfere with the casting of Divine Spells. In addition to his normal
complement of spells, every Cleric chooses to focus on two of his
deity's domains. These domains grants the Cleric special powers and
give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A
Cleric's Wisdom score should be high since this determines the maximum
spell level that he can cast.
- Alignment: Any
- Hit Die: d8
- Profifiencies: All simple weapons, all armor and shields
- Skill Points: Int Modifier x 4 at 1st level; 2 + Int Modifier each
additional level

of the same spell instead.

level as the undead have Hit Die, the undead are instantly destroyed.
-----
EPIC CLERIC:
The Epic Cleric is among the most elite of his deity's servants,
spreading the word and acting as emissary for the church. The Epic
Cleric commands great power and respect.

- Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int Modifier
- Bonus Feats: The Epic Cleric gains a bonus feat every three level
after 20th.
- Epic Cleric Bonus Feats: Armor Skin, Automatic Quicken Spell,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> DRUID <<<
Druids gain power not by ruling nature but by being one with it.
Druids hate the unnatural, including aberrations or undead, and destroy
them where possible. Druids receive Divine Spells from nature, not the
gods, and can gain an array of powers as they gain experience,
including the ability to take the shapes of animals. A Druid is often
accompanied by an animal companion. The weapons and armor of a Druid
are restricted by their traditional oaths, not simply training. A
Druid's Wisdom score should be high as this determines the maximum
spell level that they can cast.
- Alignment: Must be neutral good, lawful neutral, true neutral,
chaotic neutral, or neutral evil
- Hit Die: d8
- Proficiencies: Club, Dagger, Dart, Sickle, Scimitar, Spear, Sling,

to protect the innocent. Fighters have the best all-around fighting
capabilities of the PC classes and they are trained to use all standard

>>> MONK <<<
Monks are versatile warriors skilled at fighting without weapons
or armor. Good-aligned Monks serve as protectors of the people, while
evil Monks make ideal spies and Assassins. Although they don't cast
spells, Monks channel a subtle energy called Ki. This energy allows a
Monk to perform amazing Feats, such as healing himself, cathing arrows
in filght, and dodging blows with lightning speed. A Monk's mundane and
Ki-based abilities grow with experience granting him more power over
himself and his enviornment. Monks suffer unique penalties if they
wear armor, as doing so violates their rigid oath. A Monk wearing
armor loses his Wisdom and level based Armor Class bonuses, movement
speed, and additional unaremed attacks per round.

>>> PALADIN <<<
Paladins take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane
mission is, in the heart of the Paladin, a personal test - an
oppurtunity to demonstrate bravery,, to learn tactics and to find ways
to do good. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding
off harm, protecting from disease, healing and guarding against fear.
The Paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing wounds
or curing diseases and also use it to destroy evil. Experienced
Paladins can smite evil foes and turn away undead. A Paladin's Wisdom
score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that
he can cast. Many of the Paladin's special abilities also benefit from
a high Charisma score.

>>> RANGER <<<
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in
the woods. A Ranger's martial skill is nearly the equal the fighter's,
but angers lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting.
Instead, the Ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy
- a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above
all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those
who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move
quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and
he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally,
an experienced Ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually
draw on natural power to cast Divine spells, much as a Druid does.
Like a Druid, a Ranger is often accompanied by animal companions. A
Ranger's Wisdom should be high, as this determines the maximum spell
level that he can cast.
- Alignment: Any
- Hit Die: d10
- Proficiencies: All simple and martial weapons, light armor,
medium armor, shields

armor or less.

- Use: Selected
- Bonuses: Dual Wield simulates the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon
Fighting feats
- Note: Dual Wield does not count as Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon
Fighting when used to qualify for Improved Two-Weapon fighting. In
other words, you can't be a Ranger for just one level and then qualify
for Improved Two-Weapon Fighting once your base attack bonus reaches
+9.
BONUS FEATS: Rangers automatically gain the Improved-Two Weapon
Fighting feat at 9th level.

>>> ROGUE <<<
Rogues have little in common with each other. While some - maybe
even the majority - are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies,
investigators, dimplomats or simple thugs. Rogues are versatile,
adaptable, and skilled at getting what other's don't want them to get.
While not equal to a Fighter, a Rogue knows how to hit where it hurts,
and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to
have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced
Rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts
of stealth, evasion and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable
of casting spells, a Rogue can sometimes "fake it" well enough to cast
spells from scrolls, activate wands and use just about any other magic
item.

Crossbow, Mace, Morningstar, Rapier, Shortbow, Short Sword, Sling,

an additional +1d6 every two levels thereafter). This extra damage is
not multiplied in the case of a critical hit.

lethal blow (damage that would normally drop him below 1 HP), he can
make a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If successful, he
takes only half damage from the blow (which may still be enough to kill
him). If caught flat-footed, the Rogue may not make a Defensive Roll.

>>> SORCERER <<<
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with
imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no
books, no mentors, no theories - just raw power that they dirct at
will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than Wizards, and aquire them more
slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need
to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike Wizards,
Sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since Sorcerers gain
their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that
Wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and
are proficient with simple weapons. A sorcerer can call a Familiar, a
small, magical, animal companion that serves him. Charisma is very
important for Sorcerers, the higher the value in this ability, the
higher the spell level he can cast.
- Alignment: Any
- Hit Die: d4
- Proficiencies: All simple weapons, no armor or shields
- Skill Points: Int Modifier x 4 at 1st level, 2 + Int Modifer each
additional level
- Spellcasting: Arcane (Charisma-based, no need for preparation, armor-
related chance of spell failure is a factor)

Disciples and Pale Masters

scouting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> WIZARD <<<
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to
create their magic. To Wizards, magic is not a talen but a difficult,
rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, Wizards can use
their spells to devestating effect. When caught by surprise, they are
vulnerable. The Wizard's strength is his spells; everything else is
secondary. He learns new spells as he experiments and grown is
experience and he can also learn from other Wizards. In addition, over
time a Wizard learns to manipulate their spells so they go farther,
work better, or are improved is some other way. A Wizard can call a
Familiar, a small, magical, animal companion that serves him. With
high Intelligence, Wizards are capable of casting very high-level
spells.

- Hit Die: d4
- Proficiencies: Club, Dagger, Light Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow,
Quarterstaff, no armor or shields

>>> ATTAINING EPIC STATUS <<<
For your character to be able to reach Epic Status he or she must
be at level 21, that's a total of 21 character levels. So, if you're
playing a multi-classed character such as a Rogue 11/Wizard 10 you'll
have a total of 21 character levels and BOTH of those classes will
attain the "Epic" status, this is a big advantage for multi-classed
characters. If you're playing the game with a character that has three
classes such as a Rogue 3/Fighter 8/Sorcerer 10 you'll attain the
"Epic" status in those three classes. Along with the new title comes
new spells, feats, and some other nice bonuses.
================================================================= #7 ==
---------------------------------
* 7) PRESTIGE CHARACTER CLASSES *
---------------------------------
Prestige classes are like regular classes, except that they have
requirements that must be met before one can attain the class. These
powerful classes grant characters unique new abilities unavailable to
the base classes. Some classes may require a certain number of ranks
in one or more skills, others may require the ability to cast Arcane or
Divine spells.
Each class has a range of abilities that make it substantially
different from the other classes. These abilities are an integral part
of your character's class, and mastering them will aid you.
Unlike Core Class characters where they have to be level 21 to
attain Epic status, these Prestige Class characters will attain Epic
status once they reach level 11.
Note that if you don't have the Shadows of Undrentide expansion
pack installed on your PC then these following Prestige Classes won't
be available: Arcane Archer, Assassin, Blackguard, Harper Scout or
Shadowdancer. All other Prestige Classes can be attained in this
campaign.
>>> ARCANE ARCHER <<<
Master of the Elven war bands, the Arcane Archer is a warrior
skilled in using magic to supplement his combat prowess. Fighters,

repertoires.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ASSASSIN <<<
The Assassin is a master of dealing quick, lethal blows.
Assassins often function as spies, informants, killers for hire, or
agents of vengeance. The Assassin's skill in a variety of dark arts
allows him to carry out missions of death with shocking, terrifying
precision. Rogues, Monks and Bards are ideal candidates for training
as Assassins.
Unlike the Blackguard, the Assassin is not evil due to devotion to
an evil power, but rather due to a complete lack of morals or ethics.
These ruthless and avaricious killers have but one requirement other
than a predisposition for evil and a penchant for stealth. They must
kill another intelligent being for no other reason but pay.

>>> HARPER SCOUT <<<
Harpers are members of a secret society dedicated to holding back
evil, preserving knowledge, and maintaining the balance between
civilization and the wild. Harpers learn Arcane spells and many skills
to help them in their duties of espionage, stealth, and reporting
information.
Many Harpers are Bards, but by no means all. Ranger, Rogue,
Sorcerer and Wizard are common vocations for Harpers, as these classes
tend to have versatility and mobility. All have some skill at
manipulating others, a resistance to outside mental influences, acute
abilities of perception, and a talent for solving problems.
Not all Harpers are members of the Harper Scout prestige class,
and rank within the organization does not depend upon a character's
level in this or any other class. However, most of the higher-ranked
Harpers have at least one level in the Harper Scout prestige class.
The highest-ranked Harpers are called the High Harpers, and they
are responsible for most of the long-term planning for the
organization. The High Harpers are voted into their positin by a
secret ballot among the other High Harpers, with the criteria being
experience, exceptional service, and discretion in implementing the
Harpers' plans.

Bardic Knowledge.

>>> SHADOWDANCER <<<
Operating in the border between light and darkness, Shadowdancers are
nimble artists of deception. They are mysterious and unknown, never
completely trusted but always inducing wonder when met.
Rogues, Bards and Monks make excellent Shadowdancers, but Fighters,
Barbarians, Rangers and Paladins also find that Shadowdancer abilities
allow them to strike at their opponents with surprise and skill.
Wizard, Sorcerer, Cleric and Druid Shadowdancers employ the defensive
capabilities inherint in the prestige class to allow them to cast their
spells from safety and move away quickly. Despite their link with
shadows and trickery, Shadowdancers are as often good as evil. They
may use their incredible abilities as they wish.
Shadowdancers often work in troupes, never staying in one place too
long. Some use their abilities to entertain. Others operate as
thieves, using their abilities to infiltrate past defenses and dupe
others. All Shadowdancer troupes maintain an aura of mystery among the
populace, who never know whether to think well or ill of them.

----------------------------
* 8) MULTICLASS CHARACTERS *
----------------------------
>>> MULTICLASS CHARACTERS <<<
Characters begin with one class but as they gain experience you
may choose to take on a second or even third class. This is called
multiclassing and makes the Neverwinter Nights game system extremely
flexible. A Wizard, for example, might study as a Fighter for several
levels and become a Wizard/Fighter. Adding the Fighter class grants
proficiency in simple and martial weapons, better Fortitude saving
throws and so on, but it also means that as a Wizard the character
would not be quite as advanced, having spent his experience to buy a
new class instead. In Neverwinter Nights a character can add a new
class after he has reached 2nd level in his first class. Characters
can be a maximum of three classes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> CHARACTER LEVEL VS. CLASS LEVEL <<<
The cost of raising a level is based on the overall "character
level," not individual "class levels." Character level is the total
level of the character, the sum of all of his class levels. A 10th-
level Fighter and a 5th-level Rogue/5th-level Wizard both have 10
character levels.
Character level is used to determine when feats and ability score
bonuses are gained, and it is the character level that sets the XP cost
for gaining a level. For example, a 10th-level Fighter/2nd-level
Cleric requires the same amount of XP to raise his Fighter class to
level 11 as he would to raise his Cleric class to level 3.
A multiclass character gains Hit Die from each class as he gains
levels, and the individual bonuses of each class for base attack and
saving throws are cumulative. Also the character retains and can
access skills from all his classes. When a multiclass gains a level in
a class, he spends that level's skill points as a member of that class.
Feats are received evey three character levels, regardless of
individual class level, while ability increases are received every
four.
NOTE: Some class features don't work well with skills or class
features of other classes. For example, although Rogues are proficient
with light armor, a Rogue/Wizard still suffers spell failure chances if
wearing armor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> MULTICLASS EXPERIENCE <<<
If your multiclass character's classes are nearly the same level
(all within 1 level of eachother), then he can balance the needs of his
classes. Your multiclass character suffers a -20% XP penalty for each
class that is not within 1 level of his most experienced class. These
penalties apply from the moment the character adds a class or raises a
class's level too high. For instance, a 4th-level Wizard/3rd-level
Rogue gets no penalty, but if that character raises his Wizard level to
5th then he receives the -20% XP penalty from that point on until his
levels are nearly even again.
RACE AND MULTICLASS XP: A racially favored class does not count
against the character for purpose of the -20% XP penalty. For example,
an 11th-level Gnome character (a 9th-level Rogue/2nd-level Illusionist)
suffers no XP penalty because he has only one non-favored class (Wizard
is favored for Gnomes). Suppose then he achieves 12th-level and adds a
level of Fighter to his classes, becoming a 9th-level Rogue/2nd-level
Illusionist/1st-level Fighter. He suffers a -20% XP penalty on future
XP he earns because his Fighter class is so much lower than his Rogue
level.
A Dwarven 7th-level Fighter/2nd-level Cleric suffers no penalty,
nor does he when he adds 1st-level Rogue to his classes since his
Cleric and Rogue classes are only one level apart, and Fighter is a
favored class for Dwarves.
A Human or Half-Elf's highest-level class is always considered his
or her favored class for purposes of the multiclass penalty.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> MULTICLASS RESTRICTIONS <<<
A character cannot multiclass if doing so would present an
alignment conflict. For example, a character cannot be a
Druid/Paladin, as a Druid must remain neutral and a Paladin must be
lawful good.
Likewise, a character cannot continue to gain levels in a class
that he no longer has the appropriate alignment for. For example, a
Barbarian whose alignment becomes lawful neutral can no longer gain
levels as a Barbarian until his alignment becomes nonlawful again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ALIGNMENT SHIFT <<<
If your character acts outside of what would be appropriate for
his or her alignment those actions can cause a shift in alignment, from
good to evil, lawful to chaotic, and so on. The severity of the shift
varies with the deed and can sometimes have extreme consequences. For
example, if a Paladin performs an overtly evil or chaotic act which
changes his or her alignment from lawful good, he or she will no longer
be a Paladin.
Most out-of-character actions only create slight shifts in
alignment. A good character can have a bad day and threaten to rough
up a shopkeeper with little consequence (don't make a habit of it and
threaten all people you talk to or your alignment WILL shift to
chaotic). If, however, that good character acts on the threat and
kills the clerk then a significant shift toward evil will occur. Good-
aligned characters will take a bigger alignment hit from performing an
evil act than a neutral character. Likewise, for evil-aligned
characters who perform good deeds.

* 9) SKILLS *
-------------
Skills represent the individual areas of practical knowledge
possessed by a character. These are in addition to the base abilities
of the character's class and race, and serves to further customize and
differntciate one character from others of the same class or race.
>>> SKILL CHECHS<<<
A skill check is made when your character applies a skill to a
task. This roll is made with a d20, plus any skill ranks and ability
modifiers. The skill check is successful if it equals or exceeds the
Difficulty Class (DC) of the task. DC can either be the static
property of an object, such as a trap, or it may be determined by the
skill check result of another character. This last type of skill check
is also called an opposed test, since you are opposing another
character's skill check.
Several miscellaneous modifiers can also apply to a skill check,
including racial abilities, feats, armor check penalties, and spell
effects. In every case these modifiers are grouped together and added
to a d20 roll, as shown here: Skill Check = d20 + skill ranks +
miscellaneous modifiers.
NOTE: Because of DC and skill rank modifiers, a natural "1" is not
always a failure, and a natural "20" is not always a success. For
example, a moderately skilled Rogue might have 6 ranks in Pick Pocket
and a Dexterity bonus of +3, for a total Pick Pocket modifier of +9.
Given that a plain container only has a DC of 10, if there were no
extenuating circumstances it would be immpossible for the character to
fail such a simple task, as the lowest he could roll would be 1 + 9=10
(success). However, picking the pocket of a hostile creature has a DC
of 30, and the highest he could roll with no additional modifiers woul
be 20 + 9=29 (failure).
>>> RANKS <<<
Skill ranks are purchased with skill points, which are awarded
both at Character Creation and with each new class level. Every skill
has a rank, from 0 (no training) to 23 (maximum ranks for a 20th level
character). Ranks are added into every check made with the skill, so
the more ranks a character has, the better his skill checks will be.
>>> CLASS SKILLS <<<
Class skills represent skills that fall within the expertise and
training of a given class. Each skill point spent on a class skill
adds 1 rank in the skill. The maximum rank in any class skill is
character level +3.
>>> CROSS-CLASS SKILLS <<<
Cross-class skills represent skills that a given class has little
experience with or that fall outside their expertise. Each skill point
spent on a cross-class skill adds a half rank in that skill. The
maximum rank in any cross-class skill is equal to (character level
+3)/2, or half that of his class skill. Half ranks do not improve a
skill check, but two half ranks add up to one full rank.
>>> EXCLUSIVE SKILLS <<<
Some skills are exclusive to a given class, and represent skills
that can only be learned by members of the given class. For the
purpose of skill points and maximum ranks, exclusive skills are treated
as class skills.
>>> SKILL SYNERGY <<<
Some skills work well togrther. In general, having five or more
ranks in one of these skills grants a +2 Synergy bonus on skill checks
with the corresponding skill, as noted in the skill description.
Disable Traps and Set Traps have a synergistic relationship.
>>> TYPES OF SKILL CHECKS <<<
UNTRAINED CHECKS: Some skills allow a character to attempt skill
checks with 0 ranks in the skill. If a skill allows untrained checks,
this will be indicated in the skill description.
OPPOSED CHECKS: Opposed checks are made against the skill check
result of another character. For example, to sneak up behind a guard,
a character needs to beat the guard's Listen check result with his Move
Silently check result. As he approaches, the game makes a Move
Silently check for the sneaking character, and a Listen check for the
guard. Whichever character's skill check is higherwins the contest.
In the case of a tie, both checks are re-rolled until a winner is
determined.
DIFFICULTY CLASS: Many checks are made against a task's DC. The
DC is a target for character skill checks. These are set by Bio Ware,
or in some cases by a module designer. For example, a certain type of
trap kit may have a DC of 15. To set the trap, the character must get
a result of 15 or better on a Set Traps skill check. Note that certain
circumstances may modify a character's skill modifier (armor penalties
and the like), while others may modify the DC of the task (the trap may
be faulty).
TAKING 20: Outside of combat, all skill checks are made as if the
character had "Taken 20," or rolled a natural 20 on his skill check.
This means that no roll is made; the skill modifier is simply added to
20 to determine the check result, In combat rolls are made as normal.
>>> SKILLS LIST <<<
There are a wide array of skills in Neverwinter Nights, far too
many for any one character to master. With that in mind, you should
focus your character on skills that best accent his capabilities and
role.

* 10) FEATS *
-------------
A feat is a special feature that either gives your character a new
capability or improves one he or she already has. Feats are more like
innate abilities than skills and, as such, have no ranks or
progression. A character either has the feat or he does not.
Feats are chosen as they become available, beginning with one at
character creation. A new feat is gained with every three character
levels thereafter (3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th). Fighters and
Wizards gain extra class-related feats. Human characters receive a
bonus feat at 1st level.
Some feats have prequisites, and your character must have the
listed ability score, feat, skill or base attack bonus in order to
select or use them. There are also different kinds of Feats. General
Feats have no special rules governing them as a group. Metamagic Feats
allow a spellcaster to prepare and cast a spell with greater effect,
but at a higher level than it actually is. Class-specific feats are
only available of the specified class - Clerics or Paladins in the case
of Extra Turning, or Fighters in the case of Weapon Specialization.
>>> NOTE ON METAMAGIC FEATS <<<
It is during preperation that a Wizard or Divine spellcaster
chooses which spells to prepare with a Metamagic Feat (and thus at a
higher level than normal). In terms of the screen, this means that the
"Known Spells" pane of the spellbook actually has a number of tabs
indicating which spells can be prepared at this level with one of the
given Metamagic Feats. Aside from the "Known Spells" tab, there is one
tab for each Metamagic Feat the caster has aquired.
Sorcerers and Bards choose when they cast their spells and whether
to use a Metamagic Feat to improve them. As with other spellcasters,
the improved spell is cast as if it were higher level. Sorcerers and
Bards will be presented with a "Metamagic Feat" option off of their
"Spellcasting" Radial Menu and will cast any spells enhanced with
metamagic through that method. Metamagic enhanced spells can still be
placed in the quickbar.
In all ways, a metamagic spell operates at its origional level,
even though it is prepared and cast as a higher-level spell. Saving
throw modifications are not changed (unless stated otherwise in the
feats description). The modifications made by these feats only apply
to spells cast directly by the Feat user. A spellcaster can't use a
Metamagic Feat to alter a spell being cast from a Wand, Scroll or other
device.
Metamagic Feats cannot be used for all spells. See the specific
Feat descriptions for the spells that a particular Feat can't modify.
Metamagic Feats cannot be stacked, meaning that only one type of
metamagic alteration can be active on a single spell, though different
spells could be prepared with different Metamagic Feats.
There are many Feats in Neverwinter Nights and no character can
possibly choose to learn them all. With that in mind, you should focus
your character on Feats that enhance his abilities and role. Here's a
chart of Feats by type:
----------------------------------------------------------------
|COMBAT | ACTIVE | DEFENSIVE | MAGICAL | |

>>> Note: I copied the feats list out of the instruction manual for
Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition (which includes Shadows of Underntide)
and you may find a couple of feats in this list not available in the
origional Neverwinter Nights *IF* you don't have any expansion packs
installed for it. I tried my best not to let this happen, if you do
happen to browse a feat not in the origional game, please e-mail me and
let me know so I can take it off of this list. I know a couple of the

* 11) COMBAT *
--------------
>>> REAL-TIME DECISIONS <<<
Neverwinter Nights is a real-time game overlaid on top of the
turnbased Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition rules. This means that your
decisions are played out during the progress of a combat round. You
manipulate your character by giving them orders. These orders appear
in the Action Queue (upper-left corner of your screen). You may stack
certain orders (known as tasks), such as picking up items, opening
doors or casting spells. Modal orders - like movement and combat -
clear any tasks still in the stack.
As you learn the Neverwinter Nights combat system, you will find
it useful to plan out you tactical combat as you fight. This may
involve choosing the next three spells you want to cast, or entering a
combat mode like Knockdown or Parry.
The Action Queue is a quick and easy visual reference about what
your character's current and future actions are or will be. A wise
player uses this to his full advantage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> NPC REACTIONS <<<
NPCs can react to you in a variety of ways, varying from hostility
to friendship, and your actions in the game can affect this reaction.
A good friend may be lost if you attack innocents, while more nefarious
allies might be made by helping out an evil power group. Your
character will have a different default action to each of these
reaction types:
HOSTILE
-------
Hostile creatures will normally attack you on sight and will fight to
the death. You CANNOT talk to hostile creatures.
Default Action: Attack
NEUTRAL
-------
Most of the world begins neutral to you. You may speak with these
people, learning information about the world and of future adventures.
Neutral characters will become hostile if attacked.
Deafult Action: Talk
FRIENDLY
--------
Friendlw characters behave exactly like neutral characters, except that
those who are friendly to you may help you, usually by healing, for no
charge. If you are attacked while in the prescence of friendly
characters, they may assist you.
Default Action: Talk
BUSY
----
At certain times, normally after or during combat when you try to speak
with a character, you may be told it is busy. This means that the
character cannot speak with you until the combat is resolved. If you
ever see this message with someone who is not in combat, wait one
combat round and then try talking to them again.
Default Action: They cannot interact with you until they are no longer
busy.
INVULNERABLE
------------
Some characters cannot be hurt. These are usually powerful characters
that can help advance the plot. Attacking will not anger them, nor
will it injure them.
Default Action: Talk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> FACTIONS <<<
Every creature in the world belongs to a faction (one example of
which is the "Hostile" faction, to which monsters belong). There are a
variety of factions in every city (like a commoner, merchant, or
guard). These factions are often split into various sub-factions
(prison guard, pirate guard). Every faction has a like or dislike for
every other faction (and for your character). Some factions may defend
other factions; other factions may attack any other faction on sight.
This is why, when you attack a commoner, the town guard attacks
you if he sees you attacking the commoner. They belong to different
factions (commoner and defender, respectively). However, defenders
must protect commoners - this is detailed in their faction
relationship.
So what does this mean to you as a player? Be aware that
attacking certain groups may affect your standing with other groups.
If you constantly attack innocents, you will get a bad reputation and
may find yourself harassed by the town guard. It also means that at
times you can decimate two rival groups - simply by luring them to each
other, they suffer the carnage and you can reap the benefits of looting
their corpses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TARGETING AN OPPONENT <<<
RADIAL MENU TARGETING
---------------------
Whenever you open the Radial Menu on an object, you enter Target-Action
mode. Any option you choose will be directed at the object you have
targeted. For example, if you were a Monk and opened the Radial Menu
over an enemy Bugbearthat was rushing you, selecting the "Flurry of
Blows" option will launch the attack against the creature.
ALTERNATIVE TARGETING METHODS
-----------------------------
The Radial Menu is not the only method of targeting. You may also put
weapons, special attacks, and spells in your Quickbar. You can use
these in Action-Target mode, whereby you choose what you want to do and
to whom you want to do it to. For example, again you are playing a
Monk, and you have placed the Flurry of Blows attack icon on the
Quickbar. This time when the Bugbear appears, you can click on Flurry
of Blows on you Quickbar or press the hotkey assigned to that slot.
You then click on the Bugbear and your Monk attacks the Bugbear with
the Flurry of Blows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> THE ATTACK ROLL <<<
When an attack is made, the attacker rolls a d20 (resulting in a
number between 1 and 20). All attack bonuses that the character may
have are added to the roll to determine whether he or she hits. This
value is then compared against the Armor Class (AC) of the creature
being attacked. If the attack roll is equal to or greater than the
creatures AC, a hit is scored.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> MOVEMENT <<<
Many factors, including class, encumberance, magic items and spell
effects all influence movement in Neverwinter Nights. No character may
move slower than 10% of their base movement speed (unless held or
paralyzed) or faster than 150% of their base movement speed.
DETECT AND STEALTH MODES
------------------------
Being in either Detect or Stealth Mode will prevent your character from
running. If your character is in both, movement speed is reduced to
50%.
ENCUMBERED
----------
A lightly encumbered character cannot run. Heavily encumbered
characters move at 50% of their current movement speed.
MOVEMENT SPEED PENALTIES CHART:
-----------------------EFFECTIVE-----ABLE-
| SITUATION |MOVEMENT SPEED|TO RUN|
|--------------------|--------------|------|
|Not in Active Detect| | |
|or Stealth Mode; not| | |
|encumbered | 100% | Yes |
|--------------------|--------------|------|
| Active Detect | 100% | No |

| Stealth | 100% | No |
|--------------------|--------------|------|
| Lightly-encumbered | 100% | No |
|--------------------|--------------|------|

| encumbered | 50% | No |
|--------------------|--------------|------|
|Stealth, Detect, and| | |
|lightly-encumbered | 25% | No |
|--------------------|--------------|------|
| Heavily-encumbered |Additional 50%| No |
------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> FLAT-FOOTED <<<
Flat-footed characters do not add their Dexterity bonus (if any)
to their Armor Class. Flat-footed characters are also susceptible to
to a Rogue's deadly Sneak Attack. The Uncanny Dodge extraordinary
ability allows the Barbarin and Rogue classes to avoid losing their
Dexterity bonus to AC when they are caught flat-footed. A character is
considered flat-footed only when: They are performing a non-combat
task, or they are in redy mode, or they move outside of the combat
radius.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ATTACKS OF OPPURTUNITY <<<
Sometimes, a melee combatant lets her guard down to execute a non-
combat action. In these circumstances, combatants near her can take
advantage of her lapse in defense to make a free attack on her. These
attacks are called Attacks of Oppurtunity.
THREATENED AREA
---------------
You threaten the area into which you can make a melee attack.
Generally, that's everything that's in your 120-degree forward arc and
within 5 feet of you. An enemy that takes certain actions while in a
threatened area provekes an attack of oppurtunity.
PROVOKING AN ATTACK OF OPPURTUNITY
----------------------------------
If you move into, within, or out of a threatened area, you usually
provoke an attack of oppurtunity. If you are performing a retreat
action while moving, you do not provoke an attack of oppurtunity.
Some actions themselves provoke attacks of oppurtunity: Making a ranged
attack, making an unarmed attack (without the Improved Unarmed Strike
feat), casting a spell, activaing a 'spell completion' magic item
(scroll, wand, etc), using a spell-like ability, or running. Some
feats provoke an attack of oppurtunity.
MAKING AN ATTACK OF OPPURTUNITY
-------------------------------
An attack of oppurtunity is a single melee attack made at your normal
attack bonus. You can only make one attack of oppurtunity per round.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> SAVING THROWS <<<
Saving throws are a measure of a character or creature's
resistance to special types of attacks - poisons, magic, and effects
like a Dragon's Breath weapon. If a succussful saving throw is made,
it may reduce or prevent the effects of the spell or attack.
Saving throws are improve as your character gains levels. Many
magic items also improve saving throws while they are equipped.
Several spells can temporarily improve saving throws, but beware, other
spells can lower them.
FORTITUDE
---------
This measures your character's ability to stand up to massive physical
punisment, such as poison, paralysis,and instant death magic. A
character's Constitution modifier is added to his or her Fortitude
saving throw.
REFLEX
------
The higher this is, the better a character is at dodging attacks, such
as a Wizard's fireball or a Dragon's lethal breath. Any Dexterity
modifier is added to a Reflex saving throw.
WILL
----
This save reflects resistance to mental influence and domination, as
well as many magical effects. Any Wisdom modifier is added to a Will
saving throw.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> INJURY AND DEATH <<<
Adventurers lead exciting lives, but their lifestyle comes with
risks - namely injury and possible death. When an attack roll is
successful, damage is delivered.
WOUNDS
------
When your character is damaged, he loses Hit Points. he Hit Points are
reuced yo 0, your character dies. There are a variety of ways to
restore these Hit Points.
The most common wy to recover lost HP is to rest by selecting the
"Rest" option from the Radial Menu or Options Box. Resting takes time,
hwever, and you should make sure that you are in a safe place before
you rest. You cannot rest during combat or shortly after combat.
Healing spells (such as Cure Light Wounds), healing potions, and the
Heal skill can also be used to restore lost HP, even during battle.
DEATH AND RESPAWNING
--------------------
Your character will die if HP reach 0 or less. When your character
dies he is transported to the nearest temple of healing. There, his
lost HP are restored, and you can transport him back to the place where
he died. If the palyer chooses to respawn, they will a small number of
XP and gold. A character can never lose a level due to death after
respawing.
Warning: Whatever killed your character may still be there when you
return, and you may find yourself thrust back into combat again.
Raising the Dead: Two spells, Raise Dead and Resurrection, can actually
bring a player back from the dead. Only high-level Clerics have access
to these spells.
================================================================ #12 ==
------------------
* 12) ASSOCIATES *
------------------
Associates are creatures who respond to your direct commands.
Animal companions and familiars are considered associates, as are
summoned and dominated monsters and henchmen. These allies can be
invaluable in overcoming the myriad of obstacles to survival in
Neverwinter Nights.
ANIMAL COMPANIONS
-----------------
Animal companions are special creatures with powers typically far
beyond those of natural creatures. Many animal companions are quite
formidable in combat. As your character gains levels, so will your
animal companion. Each time you gain a level in a class with the
animal companion feature, you may change the type of companion that
accompanies you.
FMAILIARS
---------
Familiars are magical creatures that any Wizard or Sorcerer may summon.
Like animal companions, familiars are formidable allies in combat, but
this is more due to their special magical powers than their melee
capabilities.
HENCHMEN
--------
You will meet a variety of NPCs in Neverwinter Nights who will be
willing to join you on your adventures for an initial price. These
trusted sidekicks will give you advice, fight alongside you in battle,
follow your orders, and even carry your loot. Henchmen also gain
experience at a pace similar to your character and will level-up upon
demand.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> COMMANDING ASSOCIATES <<<
Once you have an associate, you may issue orders via the Radial
Menu system. Right-click on your associate to open the Radial Menu,
and choose among the following options:
- FOLLOW: The associate will stop whatever they are doing to come near
and follow you.
- ATTACK NEAREST: The associate will attack enemies.
- GUARD: The associate will attack your enemies, focusing on those who
are directly attacking you.
- STAND YOUR GROUND: The associate will not move, instead remaining
where you asked them to. They will defend themselves if attacked.
- HEAL ME: Makes the associate stop whatever they are doing and heal
you to the best of their abilities.
Certain associates may also be commanded further via
conversation. Speaking to them will let you change how close they stay
to you or even let you ask them to start detecting and removing traps.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> QUICKCHAT COMMANDS <<<
Note that this system mostly pertains to multiplayer. In
Neverwinter Nights you can use Quickchat to quickly communicate with
other players and your associates. You activate Quickchat by pressing
the Quickchat key to activate the system and then the two or three key
code to play the Quickchat line. Each voice set has personalized
dialogue for each option, so different characters will say different
things for the same choice. The default hotkeys for this system are as
follows:
----------------------------------------------------
| V - Activate Quickchat C - I can do that |
| W - Combat commands X - I cannot do that |
| E - Attack A - Task complete |
| R - Battle cry S - Social commands |
| D - Heal me S - Hello |
| W - Help D - Yes |
| A - Enemy sighted W - No |
| S - Flee E - Stop |
| T - Taunt C - Rest |
| F - Guard me X - Bored |
| X - Hold position A - Goodbye |
| E - Exploration commands X - Personal communications
| E - Follow me X - Thank you |
| W - Look here W - Laugh |
| D - Group up C - Cuss |
| S - Maove aside D - Cheer |
| D - Task commands S - I have something to say
| W - Pick locks A - Good idea |
| E - Search the area Z - Bad idea |
| S - Go stealthy E - Threaten |
----------------------------------------------------
================================================================ #13 ==
-------------------------------------
* 13) EXPERIENCE AND GAINING LEVELS *
-------------------------------------
The risks of adventure are offset by the rewards: magic items,
chests of gold and experience. As your character gains experience, he
or she will gain levels. These levels grant the character access to
more skills, feats, spells and special abilities. As your character
rises in level, he or she gains the ability to take on more powerful
monsters.
>>> GAINING A LEVEL <<<
Experience points (XP) are a measure of how much your character
has learned during his or her adventures. In game terms, XP is a
reward for overcoming obstacles and defeating monsters.
Your character receives XP immediately after defeating a monster.
The amount earned depends on your character's level and the relative
difficulty of the encounter. XP is rewarded to everyone in your party
when anyone in your part defeats a monster. At the end of a
particularly long adventure, your character may also be awarded Quest
Experience. Quest Experience is also distributed to everyone in your
party. When your character has gained enough experience points, he or
she gains a level.
When your character gains a level, he or she receives bonuses to
his or her base attack, base saves and skills, according to the class
level you choose.
CLASS
-----
When going through the level-up process, you must first decide whether
to raise a level of your character's current class, or add a new class.
ABILITY SCORES
--------------
At levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, the character can raise one of his or
her ability scores by 1.
SKILL POINTS
------------
Each character gains skill points every level to spend on skills.
Bonus skill points are rewarded for a high Intelligence, but adding a
point at level-up does not grant extra skill points at this level.
Only your character's Intelligence score score before level-up
determines the number of skill points he or she receives for the new
level.
FEATS
-----
A character's total character level determines whether he or she
receives an extra feat. At level 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18, your
character may add a feat. Fighters and Wizards occasionally get
additional feats, as discussed in their character descriptions.
SPELLS
------
Spellcasting characters gain the ability to cast more and more powerful
spells as they advance in levels. Each spellcasting class has a "spell
per day" section on its class table (see Spells section), which shows
how many spells of a given level a character can cast.
HIT POINTS
----------
Your character gains additional Hit Points at each new level, based on
his or her Hit Die and his or her Constitution bonus.
CLASS FEATURES
--------------
Every class gains certain special abilities as they gain levels. Refer
to class abilities for more specific information.
================================================================ #14 ==
--------------
* 14) SPELLS *
--------------
>>> INTRODUCTION <<<
Neverwinter Nights includes a powerful but simple-to-use magic
system that sticks closely to the D&D rules. To understand
spellcasting in Neverwinter Nights you must first understand the basic
elements. Once this basic level is mastered, the spellcaster can begin
to master spellcasting tactics and ultimately the individual spells
themselves to be learned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> SPELL SCHOOLS <<<
Schools of magic are groups of related spells that work in similar
ways. The schools of magic available to spellcasters are Abjiuration,
Conjuration, Divination, Enhantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy,
and Transmutation. A Wizard who chooses to specialize in a school of
magic gains one additional prepared spell per level but loses the
ability to cast spells from one other school. A Wizard does not have
to specialize, thus keeping access to all spells. Here are the school
descriptions:
UNIVERSAL
---------
This is not a school but instead represents the Wizard's desire to have
an equal understanding of all spells, without focusing on a single
school of magic.
Prohibited School: None
ABJURATION
----------
Abjuration spells are used to shield the caster from magical and
physical attacks.
Prohibited School: Conjuration
CONJURATION
-----------
A Conjuration specialist can bring creatures to him, usually in the
form of summoned allies.
Prohibited School: Transmutation
DIVINATION
----------
Diviners are capable of looking forward in time to anticipate what will
happen next. Although mostly useful for gathering information, several
divine spells help the caster in combat situations.
Prohibited School: Illusion
ENCHANTMENT
-----------
Enchantment spells involving gaining control over another creature, or
imbuing a recipient with special properties.
Prohibited School: Illusion
EVOCATION
---------
These are spells that manipulate energy or create something from
nothing. Many of the best offensive spells can be found within this
school of magic.
Prohibited School: Conjuration
ILLUSION
--------
Illusion spells alter perception, the most common of which is the
ability to go invisible.
Prohibited School: Enchantment
NECROMANCY
----------
Spells that manipulate, create, or destroy life.
Prohibited School: Divination
TRANSMUTATION
-------------
These spells transform the recipient, either subtly or obviously.
Prohibited School: Conjuration
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> DOMAINS <<<
At Character Creation, Clerics may choose two domains to follow.
You may choose a domain from the domain list. Each domain gives your
Cleric access to a special domain power and additional spells. This
increases the total number of spells that a Cleric may prepare each day
by one spell per spell level. Below is a short summary of each
domain's major features.
AIR: Can turn elements
ANIMAL: Improved monster summoning
DEATH: Negative plane avatar
DESTRUCTION: Turning damages constructs
EARTH: Can turn elements
EVIL: Can turn outsiders
FIRE: Can turn elements
GOOD: Can turn outsiders
HEALING: All healing spells are empowered
KNOWLEDGE: More domain spells
MAGIC: More domain spells
PLANT: Can turn vermin
PROTECTION: Divine protection
STRENGTH: Divine strength
SUN: Improven turn undead
TRAVEL: More domain spells
TRICKERY: Improves skills generally used by Rogues
WAR: Battle mastery
WATER: Can turn elements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> EFFECT DESCRIPTIONS <<<
Game effects help to describe the results of a character's
interaction with the game enviornment, creatures, and items. Effects
can be as complex as being stuck in a mass of webbing or as simple as a
bonus to attack. Defined below are all of the game effects that can be
applied to characters in Neverwinter Nights. The effects are displayed
on the character's State Bar.
The most common sources of game effects are spells, spell-like
abilities, and equipped magic items. Bonuses from various sources can
stack with eachother but the same bonus or negative modifier from the
same source can never be applied twice. For example the spell Bull's
Strength provides a temporary bonus to Strength. The character can
never have two bonuses applied from Bull's Strength at the same time
even if the same caster cast the spell twice. However, if the
character had a +3 bonus to Strength from Bull's Strength and a +2
bonus from a magic ring than these would stack to give the character a
+5 total bonus to Strength. Bonuses applied from the same source do
not stack but the higher is applied. So, if the character had Bull's
Strength cast on them twice for a bonus of +5 and +2 respectively then
the +5 would apply even if it were not the last spell cast.
ABILITY SCORE MODIFIED
----------------------
Modifier Range: -10 to +10
A single ability score is raised or lowered, possibly affecting the
ability modifier. Ability damage falls under this effect catagory.
AC MODIFIED
-----------
Modifier Range: -5 to +5
An AC bonus is applied to the character. There are five types of AC
bonuses in Neverwinter Nights, armor enhancement, shield enhancement,
Dodge, natural, and deflection. Only Dodge bonuses can stack, up to a
maximum of +10. For all other types of bonus the single highest
modifier is applied.
COMBAT ENHANCEMENT MODIFIED
---------------------------
Modifier Range: -5 to +5
The character gains a non-cumulative bonus to attack and damage.
BLINDNESS
---------
Blinded creatures have a 50% chance to miss entirely and a -4 penalty
to all attack rolls.
CHARMED
-------
When an outside agent charms an NPC, they are unable to initiate
offensive action against the person or monster. When a PC in charmed,
they are unable to initiate hostile action against the target agent for
the remainder of the spell.
CONCEALMENT
-----------
All persons attempting to attack the affected target have a percentage
chance of failing their combatrolls before they even attempt an attack
roll.
CONFUSED
--------
While confused, the target creature will do one of three things: wander
aimlessly, stand still or attack the nearest visible target.
CURSE
-----
The affected character has one or more ability score reduced by a
predetermined ammount. Curse effects are generally permanent unless
removed by powerful clerical spells.
DAMAGE
------
Damage reduces the current HP of a creature by a specified ammount.
Damage can be classified into the following catagories: acid, fire,
cold, electrical, sonic, negative, magical, divine, bludgeoning,
slashing or piercing.
DAMAGE MODIFIED
---------------
Modifier Range: -5 to +5, +1d4, +1d6, +1d8, +1d10, and +2d6
Modifies the ammount of damage a character delivers by the specified
ammount of damage type. For example, a character could have a damage
bonus of +1d4 fire or +2d6 acid.
DAMAGE IMMUNITY MODIFIED
------------------------
Modifier Range: -100% to 100%
Reflected as a percemtage that modifies all incoming damage of a single
type up or down. For example, a character with Fire Immunity 25% would
take 30 points of damage from a Fireball spell that normally deals 40.
DAMAGE REDUCTION
----------------
This represents a creature's ability to ignore a certain ammount of
melee damage (bludgeoning, piercing or slashing) from a single hit,
unless the weapon inflicting the wound has an enhancement bonus equal
to or greater than the damage reduction. Damage reduction is listed
along with the ammount of damage ignored and the power of the weapon
needed to penetrate the effect. Thus a creature with 20/3+ damage
reduction ignores the first 20 points of damage from any weapon that
does not have an enhancement of +3 or greater. Non-melee damage, such
as from elemental or magical attacks, is not affected by damage
reduction.
Creatures that have damage reduction are considered to have natural
attacks equal to that damage reduction. For example, a Red Dragon has
a damage reduction of 20/+3. When attacking other opponents with
damage reduction, it is considered an innate enhancement bonus of +3.
DAMAGE RESISTANCE
-----------------
Creatures with this ability are able to ignore damage of a specific
type up to a specified ammount. Unlike damage reduction, damage
resistance cannot be overcome with weapons that have a higher
enhancement bonus. Like damage reduction, the ammount of damage
resisted is listed as a value and a damage type, such as Fire 20/-.
This means that the first 20 points of fire damage dealt to the
character is ignored entirely.
DARKNESS
--------
When a character is surrounded by magical darkness, he is considered
blinded when trying to see other creatures and invisible when other
creatures attempt to see him.
DEAF
----
Deafened creatures are unable to make Listen chacks and cannot receive
calls of warning from allies. They also have a 20% chance to fail any
Arcane spell cast.
DAZED
-----
Dazed creatures are in a partial state of stupor. They are unable to
iniate attacks, cast spells ore use spells and feats. They can flee
from combat.
DEATH
-----
Death can come about as a result of physicla damage or of some horrible
spell. In the case of Player Characters, death is merely a chance to
return and adventure again. Most other creatures in the game are not
so lucky, and death is a permanent state that cannot be reversed.
DISEASED
--------
Diseases are one hazard that can deplete an adventurer's abilities and
leave him weak and damaged. When a character first comes into contact
with a disease, he makes a Fortitude saving throw. If this is
successful, then the disease is resisted. Otherwise, it begins to
incubate within the character. After a specified number of in-game
hours or the character's next rest, the disease will manifest itself in
the form of ability damage. Each time the character rests after the
incubation period, he or she is required to make a Fortitude saving
throw to resist further ability score damage. If the character
successfully makes two of these saving throws in a row, the disease is
removed. Ability damage incurred from disease heals while resting.
Certain diseases have special carrier-effects, such as blindness or
more nasty surprises, which canoccur after the incubation period ends
or after 24 game hours have passed.
DOMINATED
---------
A dominated creature comes under the mental control of an outside
agent. NPCs in this state are considered part of the PC's party and
will fight and die for that PC. Player Character dominated by outside
agents are wracked with horrible mental anguish and are considered
dazed. A character may only dominate one creature at a time.
ENTANGLED
---------
Entangled creatures are unable to move and are considered flat-footed.
FIRGHTENED
----------
Creatures struck with fear are forced to flee from the source af the
fear and lose the ability to control their own actions. Creatures have
a _2 penalty to all saving throws while feared.
HASTED

throw to resist the poison outright. If this roll fails, the character
takes a specified ammount of ability damage. After one minute has
passed, the character must make another Fortitude saving throw or take
additional ability damage. It is possible to remove poison before the
second round of ability damage is delivered by using the Healing skill

suffered is not healed when the poison is cured). The ability damage
received from poison can be removed by resting or the successful use of

>>> SPELL TACTICS <<<
Overcoming the protection of an enemy Lich or countering his
spells as he attempts to slay your summoned monsters makes spell
tactics a valuable part of a spellcaster's array of knowledge. Spell
tactics can be broken into the following sections: Allies, Dispelling
and Counterspelling.
ALLIES
------
Summoned allies are particularly vulnerable to spells such as Dismissal
and Word of Faith.
DISPELLING
----------
Generally, any spell that can strip enhancements and protections from
another character is grouped as dispelling magic. Breach and Greater
Spell Breach allow for immediate and instantaneous removal of a wide
range of specific protections that can often prevent damage or spells
from harming an enemy Mage. Lesser Dispel Magic, Dispel Magic and
Greater Dispell Magic all work to remove non-item effects from a
character, as long as those effects are considered temporary and
magical. However, these spells are not guaranteed to succeed. The
more powerful the Mage who placed tha magic upon the target character,
the more difficult it will be to remove his spells.
COUNTERSPELLING
---------------
If a spellcaster enters Counterspell mode, he can prevent enemy casters
from casting spells. To counter a spell, the countering Mage must
sacrifice a spell they are able to cast at the present time. The mor
Mages that counter an single enemy Mage's spell, the higher thier
chances of successfully negating the spell during its conjure phase.
Lesser Dispel Magic, Dispel Magic and Greater Dispel Magic and
Mordenkainen's Disjunction are universal counterspells and are able to
counter any spell of the same level or lower. Any spell can be
countered by itself if both the casting and countering Mage have the
spell. Many spells also have specific counters that are usable as
counterspells. For example, Haste can always be countered by using
Slow, and vise-versa.

* 18) ENEMIES *

*** I may be expanding this section some time soon, I'm just going to
list the basic enemies found throughout the game and won't be listing
their special powers and immunities. If anyone else out there wants to
find that all out for me and e-mail me, I will credit you for any
information you send me that I use in this guide. There are so many
different enemies found throughout the game that I know I missed a few
here and there in this list, I'll add them in when I figure out exactly
which ones I missed. Talk about variety and never being bored of
slaying the same enemies, great job on the abundance of different
monsters BioWare.

* 19) MULTIPLAYER *
-------------------
>>> Note: This game is one of the best RPG multiplayer games around and
I recommend that you adventure online, it's free and you can build your
character all the way up the 40th level. There are literally thousands
of people waiting to adventure with others at all times of the day and
night. If you have dial-up Internet, don't even bother trying to play
online, you'll lag really bad and make characters in your party suffer
due to your laggieness and they'll boot you off of their server
immediately, probably even ban you. This also applies if you have a
really crappy video card and the game lags when you play it single
player, stay off the Internet - just a suggestion.
>>> JOURNEYING ONLINE <<<
To play Neverwinter Nights multiplayer you will need a connection
to other computers via an Internet connection (preferably high speed,
don't even bother trying if you have a dial-up internet connection) or
a LAN (Local Area Network) connection. You can either host a game
server to allow other players to join you in your adventures or you can
connect to an existing game hosted by someone else.
The first time you play online you will be prompted to create a
Player Profile. The Player Profile allows Neverwinter Nights to
differentitate between players and allows you to access special areas
in the Neverwinter Nights community website located at this URL:
www.neverwiternights.com. If you have already created a Player
Profile, either in the game or on the Neverwinter Nights community
site, enter your player name and password to continue. If you haven't
yet created a profile click on the Create Profile button and enter in
your desired player name and password. You will also be prompted for
an e-mail address. Although you are not required to enter an e-mail
address, if you do not enter one, you will be unable to recover your
password if lost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> HOSTING A GAME SERVER <<<
If you are hosting the game server you will have full control over
who is allowed to play in your game. You will be able to moderate the
game by booting (removing from the game) or banning (permanently
removing) players. You can host a game by choosing multiplayer on the
Main Menu and then either starting a new game or loading an existing
game. This will launch a game server with the module or save game of
your choice and other players will be able to play on your server as
long as you are also in the game.
When starting a new game there are a large number of options
available to you if you want to customize the enviornment your players
will be adventuring in. Some simple options are how many players you
wish to allow into the game and whether you wish to password protect
your game or not. If you put in a player password no players will be
able to join unless they know the password. If a DM password is
entered then only players with this password can connect to the game
server with the DM client. The next important option is the Player vs.
Player (PvP) settings. These settings are described below in the
Player vs. Player section.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> JOINING A MULTIPLAYER GAME <<<
If you wish to just play in a game, you click Multiplayer at the
Main Menu and then choose the Join option. A listing of games will
appear in a Game Browser window. If you are playing without an
Internet connection, the game may pause at this screen for a moment.
You can click the LAN tab at the top of the panel to scan your local
network for games instead of scanning the Internet matching service.
If you have an Internet connection, you will see a listing of the games
currently available. You can sort the games using the filters at the
top of the matching page by clicking the filter name. You can also
click the Gameplay Types toggle on the bottom-left to display games of
a certain type. When you find a game you want to join, click it and
then click on the Connect button. At the top of the screen, you will
also see a History tab. The History tab tracks the last game sessions
you were playing and where those sessions are located. If you wish to
re-join a game you were playing, click the History tab, select the game
you wish to play and click the Connect button.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> PICKING A CHARACTER <<<
Once you have joined a game you will be presented with the Choose
Character page. ON the left you will see a list of available
characters. Pick a character and click on the Play button to start
playing. Sometimes some of the characters will be diabled. This means
that these characters are not allowed to play on the current server,
possibly because of module restrictions (level or class restrictions
for example), or because the server may only accept server characters.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> LOCAL AND SERVER CHARACTERS <<<
There are two types of characters in Neverwinter Nights, local
characters and server characters. A local character is a character
that is stored on your own computer. You can use a local character to
play on many different game servers, in a single-player game or a
multiplayer game that you are hosting. You can think of this as taking
your character home with you when you finish playing.
A server character is a character that is only stored on the game
server that you are joining. You will only have access to this
character while you are connected to that server. Think of this a
leaving your character with the person who is hosting the game. This
is the recommended system for people who are playing as a regular
group, since the players cannot alter their characters while offline.
The server itself can be set to accept either local or server
characters. When you connect to a server, you will be informed as to
what type of characters it allows. If you are connecting to a server
that allows server characters only, you can create a new character on
that server by pressing the New Character button on the Character List
page.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> MOVING CHARACTERS BETWEEN GAMES <<<
In Neverwinter Nights there is no difference between single-palyer
and multiplayer characters. At any time you can save a character from
a game, play with that character online and then continue playing with
that character in a single-player game.
To save a character from a game, open the Options panel and click
on the Save Character button. This creates a local character that is a
duplicate of the character in the game. Now if you go back to the Main
Menu and join a multiplayer game, you'll be able to choose this
character. The character is automatically saved when you complete a
multiplayer adventure.
If you load the origional saved game from which you saved the
character, you will continue to play where you left off with the
character that is stored in the save game. If you wishe to use a
different character, go to the Load Game screen, select the saved game
that you desire and click on the Import Character button instead of the
Load button. You will then see the Pick Character screen. Pick any
local character and click on Play. The saved game will be loaded with
the new character. Anytime you save after this point will store the
new character with the saved game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> FORMING A PARTY <<<
To form a party in a multiplayer game you must invite a player to
join you, and the player must agree to join. You can invite someone to
join your party using the "Socialize" Radial Menu option. Right-click
on the player you wish to invite and select "Socialize," then click on
"Invite" and the other player will receive a message advising them you
have issued an invintation to form a party. You can disband a party to
the same location in the Radial Menu after your party is formed and
clicking on "Disband."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER <<<
There are three levels of player vs. player (PvP): No PvP, Party
PvP, and Full Pvp. If you choose No PvP, players cannot damage one
another. The Party PvP setting allows you to damage other players
unless they are in your party, in which case you cannot damage them at
all. Full PvP settings lets you damage any other player unless the
area you are in is locked against PvP. This means that area-effect
spells will harm other players if they are within casting range, so if
you play Full PvP watch where you target your area-effect spells.
The PvP setting on the server options panel dictates the maximum
level of PvP conflict allowed in the module. This means that if the
server PvP is set to Full PvP, there still may be a Party PvP or No PvP
areas in the module, but if the server is set to No PvP, all areas in
the module will be set to No PvP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> LIKING OR DISLIKING OTHER PLAYERS <<<
By clicking on the Player Reactions button you can bring up the
Player Reactions panel, which describes the PvP setting of the current
area and has information about your attitude towards other players in
the world. Your attitude towards another player will be either like or
dislike. To change your attitude toward a player, simply click on
their name. Be warned, when you chane your attitude towards a player,
they are informed of your new status. You can see what another
player's reaction to you is by looking at their entry in the reaction
column.
So what does all of this liking and disliking do? It sets the
attitude of your associates and limits what types of hostile actions
that you can perform on the other player. Depending on what the PvP
setting is for the area you are currently in, your attitude will
determine whether you are friendly, neutral or hostile to that player.
The following table describes the effects of your attitude and PvP
setting.
PVP ATTITUDE CHART:
-------------------------------------------------------
| RELATIONSHIP | NO PvP | PARTY PROTECTED | FULL PvP |
|--------------|-----------|-----------------|----------|
| In Party | Friendly | Friendly | Neutral |
|--------------|-----------|-----------------|----------|
| Likes | Friendly | Neutral | Neutral |
|--------------|-----------|-----------------|----------|
| Dislikes | Friendly | Hostile | Hostile |
-------------------------------------------------------
If you are friendly toward another player, you cannot harm them,
pick their pockets or perform any hostile action against them. Any
hostile spells will not affect them and you will not perform attacks of
oppurtunities against them. Your associates (animal companions,
Familiars, summoned creatures and henchmen) will not attack the other
player.
If you are neutral toward another player, you can perform overt
hostile actions and hostile spells will damage them. Your associates
will still not attack the other players and you will not perform any
attacks of oppurtunity.
If you are hostile toward another player, you can perform any
hostile action, you will receive attacks of oppurtunity and your
associates will attack the other player. The legend at the bottom of
the Player Reactions panel contains a full list of the consequences of
your hostility state.
If you are hosting the game server, you will also have a Boot and
Ban button. By selecting a player and pressing the Boot button, that
player will be disconnected from your server and that player may
reconnect at a later time. If you ban the player, the player's Player
Profile will be added to your servers Ban List and they will be
prevented from connecting to your server, even if they try to be slick
and create a new character. Gotta love Game Spy!

----------------------------
* 20) HINTS AND STRATAGIES *
----------------------------
I want this section to thrive off of player feedback so if you've
developed a stratagy e-mail it to me so I can add it in this section.
I will of course credit you for any stratagies you send me that I
incorporate into this guide.
- REST OFTEN! When you rest you will recover all of your hit
points, regain your spell usage for the day, and in most cases recover
from any poison, disease, or long-lasting spell your character has
suffered from. Keep in mind that you cannot rest if enemies are near.
There is no certain time frame you have to beat the game in (resting
takes up 24-hours of game time) so rest as often as you'd like.
- SAVE OFTEN! You know how PC games can be, how they freeze up
sometimes or just shut down and exit because of some error, so you will
want to save your game as often as possible. This won't happen in this
game if you have the latest patch installed but you should play it safe
anyways. There's nothing worse than wandering around for two or three
hours without saving and then a fuze blows in your electrical box
shutting down power to your house because your girlfriend was blow
drying her hair, brewing some coffee, making toast, and microwaving
some oatmeal at the same time; thus screwing you out of your hard
earned XP and completed quests.
- DON'T SAVE WHEN: You're Stunned, Dazed or Paralyzed due to spells
or traps, or are suffering any other kind of negative spell effects.
If you save in the middle of a battle around the enemy when you are
paralyzed/stunned/dazed and die, when you load the game you'll still be
paralyzed and probably die again and again. If you want to save mid-
battle, then use the Stone of Recall to teleport to safety and rest up
to get healed, or ask to be healed, then save the game.
- LEVELING-UP TIP: Before clicking the level-up icon that appears in
your character's portrait, equip any ability score enhancing items.
For example, if you have a Cloak or Ring or whatever in your inventory
that raises your Constitution ability score by +4, equip that item so
you can gain maximum HP when leveling-up. If you don't want to wear
the Constitution or other ability score enhancing items after you
level-up, simply unequip them; you won't lose any HP or other benefits
you've gained during the level-up process by unequipping the item(s).
A Wizard will definitely want to equip any Intelligence enhancing items
for this process so that they may be able to cast more spells per day.
- MAP PINS are very, very useful. If you ever come across a door
that requires a special key, want to stop playing the game and jot down
what you were doing so you're not lost the next time you play, or come
across a point of interest then stick a map pin on the map. When you
place a map pin you can type in whatever text you want to describe that
particular pin.
- When you enter an area that gets LOADED and get bombarded by
enemies make sure you stay near the exit through the door which you
entered the area. If you get overwhelmed or are fighting a tough
opponent and are getting knocked through a loop, you can go back into
the previous area to rest and then go back in there to take out the
enemies a couple at a time. Make sure you save after you rest if using
this stratagy so you won't have to fight all of the enemies again if
you die. Be aware though, in some rare cases an enemy will chase after
you through the exit.
- This stratagy also applies to being bombarded by enemies. When
you come across a large group of enemies that you know is going to put
a difficult fight, lure them to you a couple at a time by letting them
see you and running away. In most cases the whole group will not chase
after you, just a few of them will.
- Something you will most definitely want to avoid is backing your
character up into a corner. If there are several tough opponents
around you and you're trapped in a corner death is almost guaranteed
since you can't flee from your attackers.
- DEATH: If you die it is better to choose Load Game rather than
Respawn, the game will load to the last save if you choose Load Game.
If you respawn then you will be hit with a 50 XP loss penalty PER
character level and you'll also lose a whopping 10% of your gold. No
matter how skilled at video games you proclaim to be, you WILL die
OFTEN in the Forgotten Realms land of Neverwinter. Although, if you
were in a tough battle and got the enemy near death and happen to die,
then you may want to choose to respawn so you don't have to go through
the tough battle again and that enemy will still be near death the next
time you fight it. Respawning here and there won't make much of a
difference, just don't make a habit of it or it will take forever to
get your character into the higher levels and you'll be wandering
around Neverwinter broke.
- OPENING CONTAINERS AND DOORS: If your character has poor Open Lock
skills and fails in his or her attempt(s) to open the container or
door, then bash open the chest/cabinet/crate/desk/door or cast a spell
on it such as Knock, Fireball, or Magic Missles to name a few. You can
also use wands to open up the chest, like Fire or Magic Missles to name
a couple. This same stratagy applies if the container or door is
trapped. Bashing an actively trapped chest or door, however, will
damage, or possibly even kill your character so keep this in mind.
Once an actively trapped container or door is destroyed via a spell or
wand, the trap will also be destroyed.
- Speaking of wands, your character may *NOT* equip a wand to either
hand (if your character class allows the use of them). The best way to
use wands are through the Quickbar.
- RED GLOW: If a big or small red square is on the floor, or if a
container or door turns red while you are near it, this signifies a
trap so try to disarm it or avoid it altogether.
- Speaking of traps, don't disarm traps while engaged in combat or
fight near them, move away from the trapped area and kill the freaks
first and then try to disarm the trap. If you are disarming a trap in
combat, it may blow off in your face due to spectacular failure and
it's going to hurt really bad if it's a spike trap.
- PALADIN TIPS: Deciding to be a Paladin is one thing but
maintaining your Paladin status can be another, since it can be a bit
challenging at times. Remember that Paladins can only be of lawful
good alignment, any shift to another alignment and you will *NOT* be
able to gain in character level until your alignment becomes lawful
good again. I don't know if you can gain in character level
retroactively if this happens to you since my alignment never shifted
when I played the game as a Paladin and I've never experienced this
downfall. I'm guessing that you probably can but I wouldn't be
surprised if you couldn't. If playing the game as a Paladin you must
remember to ALWAYS be nice to people. Don't steal from them, threaten
them, respond rudely to, perform hostile actions against non-hostile
creatures or people, or kill innocent creatures and people, since doing
any of these things can shift your alignment. Getting cocky, being
rude, or threatining people here and there won't shift your alignment,
but if you constantly do it then your alignment will shift from lawful
good and you may want consider playing the game with a character class
that better suits your non-lawful good playing style.
- FIGHTER AND BARBARIAN TIPS: First and foremost when creating your
character get your Strength ability score to at least 16 since strength
is what makes these warriors shine, you'll also want a moderately high
Dexterity score (14) so you're more nimble in combat but if you plan on
wearing heavy armor Dexterity isn't that important, and at least a 14
or 15 in your Constitution score so you can better resist damage,
poison, and disease and gain maximum HP when leveling up. Wisdom and
Charisma doesn't matter AT ALL to Fighters or Barbarians so don't worry
about those ability scores. You want at least an 11 in your
Intelligence score or you will have trouble talking with people and
quickly come to be known as the Charwood Village idiot if you have less
than 11 points in Intelligence. When choosing skills it is better to
concentrate on your Class Skills like Discipline (this skill will make
you more resistant to Knockdown, Disarm and Called Shot attacks), and
Parry (this skill enables you to fend off blows from the enemy more
easily in combat). DO NOT waste valuable skill points on Open Lock
since you can bash open doors and containers. You may want to get
Disable Trap up to at least an 8. Also keep this in mind, the Craft
Armor and other Crafting Skills are absolutely useless so don't waste
valuable Skill Points on any "crafting" skills - even though they're
class skills. When choosing feats you should aquire Cleave as soon as
you can, Cleave gives you one free attack on an opponent when you kill
another. Note that the Cleave feat only pertains while you are engaged
in melee combat (not ranged) and is used automatically. Other feats
you may want to aquire ASAP are Great Cleave, Weapon Focus, Exotic
Weapon Proficiency, Armor Skin and other armor related feats, Weapon
Specialization, and Two Weapon Fighting (for the Fighter, that feat
comes free for Barbarians). The Power Attack feat comes free to
Fighters and Barbarians and you'll have it as soon as you start the
game, as well as all Armor Proficiency feats (light, medium, heavy,
Barbarians must purchase heavy). When you reach level 12 or so while
playing a Fighter or Barbarian, make sure you get the Toughness Feat,
this feat will give you extra HP every level, and you'll also gain HP
retroactively from level 1 so when you take this feat you'll gain a
good 50 HP or so if at levels 10-12 when you take it. Fighters and
Barabarians will want to equip Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution
enhancing amulets, braces, gauntlets and belts, and Armor enhancing
cloaks and rings. And also note that if you're wearing Heavy Armor,
especially enhanced with an armor bonus and have good parrying skills,
then equipping a shield is absolutely pointless. This is a bonus for
Fighters so if playing the game as one here's something that you might
have never noticed: Fighters can read scrolls for Neutralize Poison,
Cure Disease, Lesser Restoration, Restoration, and Greater Restoration.
I had no clue Fighters could read scrolls until recently. Learn
something new about this game all the time. I find the Fighter to be
one of the most powerful character classes in the game; if you pick the
right feats for it and wear the right equipment you'll be unstopable
and be able to slay Dragons without even drinking a healing potion.
- POWER ATTACK AND IMPROVED POWER ATTACK FEATS TIP: These are nice
feats to have and use occasionally but DO NOT enable it for the
duration of entire battles. The Power Attack feat will cause an extra
5 points worth of damage to the enemy but you suffer a -5 penalty to
your attack roll; Improved Power Attack deals out an extra 10 points
worth of damage to the enemy but you'll suffer a -10 penalty to your
attack roll. These penalties to the attack roll may cause your
character to miss the enemy repeatedly and this can make for really
long and health depleting battles. If this is happening to you then
cancel Power Attack mode to be able to strike your opponents more
frequently. The most effective way to use Power Attack mode is when
you get a tough opponent badly wounded or near death. You will want to
enable Power Attack mode when you are bashing doors and containers.
- SORCERER AND WIZARD TIPS: If you're a Wizard the most important
ability is Intelligence so get that score as high as you can (16 at
least from the get go), just don't sacrifice other abilitiy scores
lower than 11 except Strength since Strength doesn't matter to
Sorcerers or Wizards because they are spellbased. Dexterity is also a
score you want at least a 14 in. The higher a Wizards Intelligence
score, the more spells - and the power of those spells - he or she is
able to cast. For skills you want to build Concentration and
Spellcraft as high as you can, DO NOT waste valueable skill points on
Open Lock since you'll be able to open doors and containers by casting
spells on them, and DO NOT waste skill points in Lore - even though
it's a Class Skill - since you can cast a spell to identify items. You
will want to aquire the Empower Spell feat IMMEDIATELY. Empower Spell
will make the spells you cast even more devistating. You will also
want to purchase these other Metamagic feats ASAP, Combat Casting,
Maximize Spell (a definite), Quicken Spell, Extend Spell, and Spell
Penetration. This same stratagy applies to Sorcerers, except Charisma
is your primary ability opposed to a Wizard's Intelligence. Personally
I find Wizards to be more powerful PCs (Player Characters) than
Sorcerers. When creating your Wizard it is best to choose the Elf race
because you'll be proficient with bows and the longsword and you won't
have to waste a feat to use better weapons (if you choose a race for
your Wizard besides Elf then you won't be proficient with bows or a
longsword). And don't forget if you're playing the game as a Wizard
that if you find a Spell Scroll you can learn that spell so it can get
added to your Spellbook. To learn a spell from a scroll you must be at
the level the scroll is for, and be adept in the school of magic that
particular spell is for. To add a spell to your Spellbook from a
scroll, right-click on the scroll in your inventory to bring up a
Radial Menu, then choose Learn Spell and it will get added to your
Spellbook. Sorcerers cannot learn spells from scrolls to add to their
Spellbook so please, no e-mails on this matter.
- MELEE COMBAT TIPS: When engaged in melee combat you should target
the enemies that are closest to you, not the ones in the back of the
pack. This is common sense I know, but A LOT of people out there have
not one shred of it. And you will want to activate any feats or skills
while engaged in melee combat such as Parry Mode, Disarm, Stunning
Fist, Knockdown, etc. As I stated above, do not engage for durations
of entire battles with the Power Attack feat activated.
- SPELL CASTING TIPS: When performing the art of casting Arcane
spells, the most effective way is to move your character around the
area, don't just stand in one spot trying to get all Gandolf or you'll
die really quick, especially when you're almost surrounded by tough
enemies, unless the spell is by touch or has an extremely small area of
effect but what Arcane spellcaster do you know that fights enemies head
on all the time? Cast a spell and run to a different area away from
the enemies, cast another spell and move to a different area and so
forth. You will want to especially use this stratagy while you are in
the lower-levels (below 10th). And you should always cast a Haste
spell when you enter an area with a crap load of creatures lurking
around, if they overwhelm you then you'll be able to make a hasty
retreat.
- SPELL PROPERTIES: Do not stack so it would be pointless to cast
numerous spells that produce the same effect so pay attetion to the
Chat Window while messing around with spells, if you cast numerous
spells that produce the same effect a message will pop up informing you
that the spell properties do not stack. For example, if you cast the
spell Minor Globe of Invulnerability on yourself and then also cast
Globe of Invulnerability on yourself, you'll only have the effect of
the first spell cast since the second spell is the same one, just a
better version of it.
- HASTE: Haste is a very, very good spell to use, or an ability to
aquire by wearing the Boots of Speed or drinking a Potion of Speed.
Haste makes you gain one extra attack PER round if using melee or
ranged weapons and will cut spellcasting time down to HALF! Haste also
increases your base speed to 150% so fleeing enemies from combat
without the risk of an Attack of Oppurtuniy they always seem to win
when you flee from them mid-combat will be a breeze, which is always a
plus. I can't count how many times my character was slain from behind
while trying to flee from combat between levels 2-5.
- TALK TO EVERYONE! During your adventure you should talk to every
person you come across. By doing this you'll aquire side quests;
obtain information about the main/side quests you're currently working
on, be able to buy better weapons, armor and goods, and hear a bunch of
interesting stories. If you don't talk to people then you'll feel
"lost" throughout the game and won't know where to go, what to do, etc.
Most of the game's story unfolds in read dialogue and a lot of the
conversations are very lengthy but it is well worth the time reading
the dialogue.
- COMMON SENSE: Use your head throughout your adventures. If an
enemy is surrounded by flames or named "fire" something, then it's 99%
sure to be resistant to fire damage so don't launch fireballs at it; if
an enemy is surrounded by ice or named "ice" something, then it's 99%
sure to be resistant to cold damage so don't spray it in the face with
a blast of ice, etc, etc, etc. And if an enemy is surrounded by ice
what would be the best way to kill it? And vice-versa if an enemy is
surrounded by flames?
- CURSED AND LEVEL DRAIN: If you're not able to read scrolls or cast
spells, and get a Cursed or Level Drain spell cast upon you, you will
REMAIN cursed or reduced in levels UNTIL you find a cure. Resting or
drinking potions will *NOT* cure your character from these spell
effects, visit the Temple of Tyr or Hall of Justice and ask to be
healed and these effects will be no more. Obviously Remove Curse is
the only spell that can cure your cursed character. If you are Level
Drained, cast a Restoration or Greater Restoration spell; Lesser
Restoration will not remove this effect. Level Drain will eventually
reduce your character to level 0 and if you had a brain, then you know
what that means. Having a character class adventuring with you that
can cure these wretched spell effects will save you a trip to the
Temple of Tyr, and the gold required to recall yourself to where you
were. In the Hordes of the Underdark campaign resting will remove the
Level Drain spell effect (most of the time).
- IMMPOSSIBLE RATED ENEMIES: Just becuse an enemy has a rating of
immpossible doesn't mean it can't be killed, it just takes a hell of a
lot longer and the XP will be well earned and rewarded for the time,
effort, and startagy involved in bringing them down.
- ATTACK FROM BEHIND! If you're able to summon a familar or an
animal companion and are fighting a tough enemy, summon the creature
and make it distract the tough enemy so the enemy is attacking your
ally. Then move in behind the tough foe to whack him a couple of good
ones without the return blows.
- HIGHER THE BETTER: The higher your AC (Armor Class), then the
better your character is protected. THAC0 is a thing of the past so
just let it go and let it rest in peace under the dirt where it
belongs. In the 3rd Edition rules THAC0 doesn't even exist so quit e-
mailing me getting all bent out of shape about it, e-mail the owners of
D&D and complain to them. For those of you who don't know what I'm
referring to, in the 2nd Edition D&D rules the lower your characters AC
the better your character is protected (which applied in the Baldur's
Gate I and II game series). Some people still get confused about this
so I hope I've cleared up this matter for you.
- ARMOR CLASS TIP: Armor Class properties DO NOT STACK so it would
be pointless to equip items that have the same properties. For
example, if you find a ring that has an AC Deflection Modifier of +4
and are wearing a cloak that has an AC Deflection Modifier of +4, don't
equip the ring because it will *NOT* raise your AC. I don't want any
e-mails on this matter for you can simply find this information out by
looking in the Chat Window; if you're wearing numerous items with the
same properties a message will appear in the Chat Window informing you
that these properties DO NOT STACK.
- QUEST PERTAINING ITEMS: Whenever you try to sell a quest
pertaining item the game won't let you. This is a major hint that if
you try to sell something and cannot, hang on to that item and don't
drop it anywhere because you need it. Also note that if you do happen
to drop a quest pertaining item because you didn't know it was, you can
get the item back by taking it out of the Diving Pool at the numerous
locations found in the game.
- USE THE QUICKBAR! Do you have any idea how aggrevating it would
be trying to constanly cast spells on enemies through the Radial Menu?
I wonder how many people actually do, someone out there surely is
because they have no clue what that giant bar on the bottom of the game
screen is. Simply put spells in the Quickbar so you can use them by
left-clicking the spell (or pressing the designated fuction key), then
left-click the enemy and the spell casting process will load into the
Action Queue. This will save you tons of time and make for less health
depleting battles. Also put potions and other items in the Quickbar
slots so you don't have to go into your pack every time you want to
drink a potion or use a wand or something. You can also put activation
required skills, modes, and feats into the Quickbar. You have two
additional Quickbars you have access to, access them by pressing and
holding "Shift" or "Ctrl."
- DIAL-UP CONNECTION: If you have dial-up Internet, don't even
bother trying to play online, you'll lag really bad and make other
characters in the party suffer due to your laggieness and they'll boot
you off of their server immediately, probably even ban you. They're
not trying to be rude but if you're a Wizard trying to launch a
Fireball in the heat of battle that takes 90 seconds to cast (because
of the tiny connection you're connected to their server with),
meanwhile other members in the party are dropping like flies and that
Maximized Fireball could've saved them all, they're not going to be too
happy and boot you. This also applies if you have a crappy video card
and the game lags when you play it single player, stay off the Internet
- just a suggestion.
- GAME PERFORMANCE TIPS: If you don't have a decent video card and
the game lags really bad during your adventures, go into the Options
Menu and click on Video Options. Lower the game resolution and all of
the bars and disable any check marks until the game doesn't lag
anymore. If you've lowered all of the bars and disabled all of the
special graphical features and the game still lags, you'll have to go
out and buy a new video card.

~ 21) GAME WALKTHROUGH: HORDES OF THE UNDERDARK ~
-------------------------------------------------
---------
~ INTRO ~
---------
First and foremost before playing the game I advise that you
download the latest version of the game patch. There are a few bugs
that got fixed, especially for multiplayer, and this will make for a
more pleasent and glitch free gaming experience. In the main menu
there is an option for downloading the latest patch so just click on
the UPDATE TILE and the patch will begin to download, it only takes a
few minutes if you have high speed internet and a decent computer. If
you don't have the internet then you're pretty much screwed for any
patches, unless you download the patch at your friends house (or at
school) from http://nwn.bioware.com and put it on a CD/DVD/Floppies so
you can upload the patches to your game at home.
Hordes of the Underdark is a great campaign and is way more
interesting than Shadows of Undrentide if you ask me; it's even better
than the original campaign in my opinion. It's a lot more challenging
combat wise and some of the puzzles were extremely difficult to figure
out as opposed to the previous two campaigns. Note that in this guide
I will not give you many battle tactics, try to influence you into
making alignment affecting decisions, give you advice as to how to
build your character, or any other stuff like that. All of these
things are for you to decide and I don't want to spoil your Hordes of
the Underdark exploration experience. I only tell you how to aquire
and complete all of the quests found in the game. Open up your
imagination, have fun, and explore the Forgotten Realms land of
Waterdeep however you wish. I also fail to mention 99.9% of the traps
found in the game throughout my guide so adventure forth at your own
risk. I also won't spoil any of the story on you.
There were a bunch of new things that were added to this campaign
to make your NWN gaming experience even better. There are six new
Prestige Classes to choose from; new skills; feats; spells; better
weapon, item, and armor crafting abilities; better control of your
henchmen (you can now control what spells they use and can have more
than one fight by your side); even some new weapons were introduced
such as the Whip and Dwarven Battleaxe. When creating a character from
scratch, when you start the game you'll immediately be able to level
your character up to level 12-15; you can choose to manually level your
character up or you can let the computer level up for you. When your
core character class reaches level 21 you'll attain Epic status, which
will enable a bunch of bonuses your character will receive (see the
Core Character Classes and Prestige Character Classes sections way
above to learn what bonuses Epic characters receive). Prestige Class
characters will gain Epic Status at level 11.

~ MAIN QUEST: DESCENT INTO UNDERMOUNTAIN ~
------------------------------------------
After you create your character you'll watch a cut scene, when
it's over you may have the option to level your character up to level
12-15 if you've created him or her from scratch. If this is the case
then I recommend that you level up manually as opposed to letting the
computer level up your character so you can choose the skills, feats,
and spells that you prefer your character to have, the computer tends
to make poor deciscions in this process. You may also multiclass your
character during this level-up process. If you've selected a pre-made
character or are using the character you've used for the previous
campaigns and they were level 12-15 or higher, then you will not get to
level your character up. After you level up another cut scene will
trigger.
Kill the Drow Thief and you'll obviously notice that your
character is unclothed and a woman named Tamsil will come into the room
and speak to you. She will inform you of the situation and give you a
bunch of information as to what's going on around Waterdeep; she also
tells you to head to the Armory for some equipment. You'll start the
game off with no gear at all (even if you use a pre-made character or
the character you've played other campaigns with), the only things in
your inventory right now is a Worn Book, a Rogue Stone, and the Relic
of the Reaper; search the dead thief's remains to find a couple of more
items to add to your pathetic inventory. Leave the little room and
search inside of the Armory on the right to find some armor and
weapons. Search in the other rooms to find some more items and such,
in one of the rooms are two guys named Tanarell and Cyphus, speak with
them to find out more of the situation.
Head downstairs to see some old friends, Tomi, Daelan, Sharwyn and
Linu. They again will be your henchmen throughout this campaign and
you may have them fight by your side if you wish. You have a lot more
control over your henchmen than in the previous campaigns. You can now
decide what spells they get to use for the day, can control their
inventory, and you may let more than one fight alongside you. Speak
with the four of them to find out some information; they tell you to
seek out Durnan. You can't hire any of them at this point in the game.
You can speak with some of the other people in this room to find out
some more information and hear some wild tales of adventuring.
Head into the next room to find Durnan, your henchmen will follow
you in here. Speak with Durnan to find out more information on what is
requested of you and how the city is under siege by the evil Halaster
and his Drow army. When the conversation ends some Drows will come
into the house and commense an attack, kill them all and then everbody
will run downstairs. Check the kitchen for some items and then head
downstairs to the well.
Help everyone kill some more Drows, when they're disposed of speak
with White Thesta to trigger another cut scene, when it's over speak
with Thesta again. She will give you a Rod of Resurrection, DO NOT
discard or sell it! She sells equipment so see what she has in stock
and load up; you can sell her all of the weapons and armor from the
Armory if you don't have much gold. If you're using a character you've
used for a previous campaign, all of your equipment may be gone but you
still have all of the gold that character aquired during its previous
journeys. Items are a lot more expensive in this campaign than in the
previous two so it would be wise to be very picky until your gold pouch
gets a little heavier. White Thesta will heal you if you aske her to,
if your character gets Cursed or Level Drained ask her to be healed and
these wretched spell effects will be no more. Speak to Durnan to find
out even more information and then pull the Well Lever; step onto the
little platform that rises out of the well and then take a ride down to
enter the dreaded Undermountain.
A non-hostile Goblin named Grovel will run up and speak with you,
find out some information from him and then you can either tell Durnan
to pull the Goblin out of the well or you can choose to leave him
trapped down here, or you can just kill him if you're an evil sort of
person. If you let him out of the well go back up there and speak to
it, you can either persuade Durnan to give him a job at the local Inn
or you can try to convince Durnan that this little Goblin is a spy for
Halaster. Giving this little Goblin a job will earn you 3 alignment
points toward good. You'll also notice that little twerp Deekin from
the Shadows of Undrentide campaign hanging around the well, you may
hire him as your henchman if you want but he's useless for you'll have
to keep healing him every time he gets hit.
Before you descend into Undermountain head back up to main floor.
It isn't necessary but you should explore Waterdeep so you can buy
better weapons, armor and equipment. Speak with Grayban by the door
leading out to Waterdeep, he will tell you that you're not allowed to
leave the building. Either Bluff, Intimidate, or pay him some gold so
you can leave. Go into the Argali's Arms and the Little Musings and
Magic Shop in the area to buy some better equipment; you won't be able
to gain access to anywhere else in Waterdeep yet. When you're stocked
up on items head back down into the well, go through the gate down here
to enter the first level of Undermountain.

-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Descent into Undermountain
------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: DESCENT INTO UNDERMOUNTAIN ~
------------------------------------------
>>> LEVEL 1 CENTRAL
You'll see Sharwyn's corpse lying on the floor, obviously she
befell due to the horrible circumstances that has befallen Waterdeep.
Use the Rod of Resurrection on Sharywn's corpse to bring her back to
life; she'll speak with you and you'll get a lot of information from
her; you can also have her fight by your side or you can tell her to go
back to the Inn. You'll be rewarded 500 XP for resurrecting Sharwyn.
You'll notice the map pin indicating to level 2 of Undermountain, in
order to get down to that level you'll need to find some Colored Rods;
you'll notice that the bridge to level 2 is blocked by four colored
pillars. There is an alternate way to level two in the North section
of this level. Be advised that whenever you rest in this game that it
may get interrupted by enemies so don't go to the bathroom or to the
fridge while resting because you may come back to your game and find
your character deceased.
There are Portals scattered about the dungeon that lead to the
North and South sections, you're currently in the Central section of
the dungeon; the portal will randomly teleport to different sections.
You can also get to the North and South sections through the doors
marked Exit on the map in the North and South. To fully navigate the
Central, North and South sections you don't need to use the portals
scattered about so don't worry about them. There are also secret doors
all over the place and if your character has low Spot skills and
doesn't Spot them, then cast a True Seeing spell; they mostly lead to
small rooms with containers to search for items and such. If you can't
cast that spell, or spells in general, try wandering around in
Search/Detect Mode.
Head to the north and enter the Hall of Sleeping Kings, it's to
the right of the north-most exit. You will see some Skeleton Kings
sitting upon their thrones, they're non-hostile for the time being and
you can't talk to or attack them. Look in the pile of bones on the
throne to the right and take the Blue Rod out of them. Go to the other
side of the chamber and speak with Chief Urdon to have a chat with his
Black Sword, yes, you'll be talking to a sword. The sword wants to be
free from its miserable existence with the dead kings so try to take
the sword when offered the option. Trying to take this sword will
awaken all of the Skeleton Kings in the room so kill 'em all. This
sword, Enserric the Longsword, will now be in your inventory and has a
few good bonuses so you might want to equip it right away; you can also
talk to Enserric any time you want, sometimes it'll give you good
information as how to proceed in your adventures. Don't forget to
search all of the dead kings bones to find some good armor and weapons,
you'll also find a Skull Key in the dead Chief Urdon's remains.
Head into the Hall of Mirrors in the west, you'll find Daelan's
corpse in here so use the Rod of Resurrection on him to bring him back
to life; you'll be rewarded 500 XP for doing so and can either have him
fight by your side or send him back to the Yawning Portal. You can
look in all of the mirrors in here to gain a lot of items; when you
take an item out of the mirror it will disappear so choose wisely. One
of the mirrors will summon your "evil twin" so kill it, it isn't as
tough as you are so don't worry all that much.
Head to the south-west room to get bombarded by Frenzied Harpies
and Noxious Ogres, kill them all and then search a chest in here to
find a White Rod. Now head to the south-east corner of the map to
enter the Grim Statue Room, kill the Old Blue Dragon in here to gain a
ton of XP; raid the dragon's loot for some good items, including
Halaster's Magnifying Glass, you'll also find another Blue Rod. Make
your way into the North section via an exit or portal.
>>> LEVEL 1 NORTH
There are a bunch of Ogres, Orcs and Drow roaming around the area.
In the south-east room is the Maze, go in there and you'll see a maze
of traps on the floor and there are pillars beaming soundwaves in here,
if you step on the trap a wave of Magic Missles will shoot out of the
pillars at you. You can destroy all of these pillars with spells like
Fireball and Ice Storm. Navigate your way through tht trap maze (or
just destroy the pillars) and use the levers in the room to disable the
traps; look in the chest in-between the levers for some items.
In the south-most corridor is a secret door, go through it to be
in a room marked Vanishing Treasure on the map. If you don't have a
henchman then go to the Yawning Portal Inn and hire Sharwyn or Daelan;
it isn't necessary but you'll gain some good items if you do. There
are two rugs on the floor on either side of the treasure room, command
your henchman to follow you and maneveur them so that they are standing
on the rug fursthest from the door; then command your henchman to stand
there ground while they are on the rug, this will make a chest appear
on the other rug, go open it up to gain a few good items and a good
amount of gold. If you don't want your henchman tagging along anymore
just tell them to go back to the inn. In the corridor above this
treasure room is a corpse, search it for a Green Rod.
Head to the north-east room and open up the sarcophagus for a
Greater Amulet of Health. In the large room next to this one are a
bunch of Noxious Ogres, kill them all and search a chest in here for
another White Rod. In the west you'll find a Red Rod in a room full of
Drows, just search one of their remains for the rod.
In the north-west room is the Hall of the Ogre Mage, go in there
and fight with the Ogre Halsterean. He'll surrender when he gets near
death, however your spells might be powerful enough to kill him with
one cast. If you do happen to kill him it's no big deal, search his
corpse for some good boots and a Crossbow of the High Forest. If you
do get to speak with the Mage, he'll tell you about the Fairy Queen.
Ask him about how to get to the lower level and he'll tell you a way to
blow up the secret passage leading to level 2 behind him. Search the
chests in this room for another Red Rod. If you want to blow up the
debris blocking the passage down to level two instead of collecting
these colored rods then you'll need a Keg of Alchemist Powder, you can
find one in the South section. Head back into the central section and
make your way to the South section via exit or portal.
>>> LEVEL 1 SOUTH
In the east is a secret door, go in there and snag another White
Rod off of a corpse in a long corridor. Head to the south-east corner
of the map to be in the Three Guardians room, on the way there you'll
encouter some Drow and Dureager Spellbinders, search the chest in the
room they're in for another Green Rod. In the Three Guardians room
there are three staues, each with a lever next to it. Pull the statues
until they are all facing the door and the statues will shoot an
electrical bolt at the door, act quicly or the statues will run out of
juice. When all three statues zap the door simotaneously it will
crumble; go into the room is was blocking and search the chest for some
good items and 5,000 gold.
In the north-east is the Bomb Makers Sanctum, go in there via a
secret door and kill the Fairy Bomb Maker; search her remains to find a
Yellow Rod. In the west-most corridor is a corpse, search it for
another Blue Rod. In the north-west room is the Tombs of the Sleepers,
go in there and and kill some Malevolent Grigs and Zombie Protectors;
search inside of the coffins to find some items. In the big room below
this one are a bunch of Raging and Noxious Ogres, along with a bunch of
Frenzied Harpies; clear the room out and search the chests in here for
another White Rod and another Yellow Rod.
Head to the south-west corner room to be in the Refuge of the
Nymph, start fighting the Fairy Sorcerer and she'll surrender when you
weken her to near death and you'll gain 2,000 bonus XP, speak with her
to find out more of Halaster among other things. You can kill her or
let her go; if you whack her then search her corpse for some good
items. Go into the room beyound this one and take the Barrel of
Alchemist fire if you want to blow the passage in the North section
leading to level 2; search the chests in here to find another Yellow
Rod. The barrel weigs 50 pounds and may encumber your character; a
potion of Bull's Strength or the spell for, in most cases, will un-
ecumber your character so keep this in mind when and if your character
ever becomes encumbered.
>>> ADVANCING TO LEVEL 2
Now that you have a bunch of Colored Rods or a Barrel of Alchemist
Fire you can advance to level 2; it doesn't matter how you get down
there so take your pick. If blowing the passage then head to the North
section and place the barrel in front of the debris blocking the way,
shoot an arrow or cast a long range spell on the barrel to clear the
way. Entering level 2 by means of blowing this passage will give you
2,000 bonus XP. If you're using the Colored Rods then go to the bridge
blocked by colored pillars in the Central section. You'll see four
levers in front of the bridge, interact with all the levers and insert
the rods in all of them and then pull the levers to lower the colored
pillars, you have to remove a rod after each use. When you've finally
created a path across the bridge obviously head on down to level 2.
The colored rods are useless now so just drop all of them from your
inventory.

-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Descent Into Undermountain
------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: DESCENT INTO UNDERMOUNTAIN ~
------------------------------------------
>>> LEVEL 2 CENTRAL
This level also has Central, North and South sections, there's
even an East section now. On level 2 of Undermountain you're in search
of four Colored Chains so you advance to level 3 of Undermountain.
When you first enter this level, open up the door to see a Fleeing
Goblin get slain, make sure you search its corpse to find a Yellow
Chain and a Small Key. You'll spot the stairs down to level 3 in the
middle of the map, they are blocked by a gate with a well in front of
it and four colored pillars that require the four colored chains so
don't mess with it yet. Head through the exit directly across from the
well to be in the South section.
>>> LEVEL 2 SOUTH
Explore the area, kill a bunch of Duergars and Drows and in the
room with the Drow Veteran Scout make sure you search his remains for a
Small Red Key. Enter the next room and kill the Drow Sub-Commander,
this guy is pretty tough for melee characters and casters of the Divine
and Arcane shouldn't have too many issues taking him down. When the
sub-commander dies make sure you take the Green Chain from his remains,
along with a bunch of decent items and his key. Open up the Drow Chest
on the table to find a Djinni Bottle, this bottle can only be uses
three times per chapter. If you use it, it will summon forth a Djinni
and it will give you an Activation Stone, this Djinni also sells some
really good items so check out his inventory.
Tomi's corpse is also in this room, lying on the floor on the
right, resurrect him with the Rod to be rewarded 500 XP; you can have
Tomi fight by your side or you can tell him to go back to the Yawning
Portal Inn. Head back into the Central area and then go east to the
door marked exit on the map, go through this exit to enter the East
section.
>>> LEVEL 2 EAST
Explore the east section and kill a bunch of Rakshasas, they're
immune to a variety of spells and are pretty tough, especially the
Rakshasa First Born; when it finally dies search its remains for some
good loot; keep your eye out for a Brass Key that one of them drops.
In the room past the Rakshasas some oldman named Shareesh will run up
and speak with you. This is a conning and deceitful old timer and he
wants an Activation Stone, you should have one from the Djinni if
you've summoned it yet; you can give it to him if you want. If you
give him the Activation Stone the slaves in the room will get freed and
your Journal will be updated that you completed the Halaster's Slaves
side quest, but there is no reward. Shareesh will then become hostile
and you'll be attacked by him, along with his bodyguards so good luck.
If you don't want to give this old man the Activation Stone then cast a
True Seeing spell to reveal that Shareesh is a Rakshasa in disguise;
this will make him become hostile so prepare for a tough battle with
him and his minions, your Journal will get updated for the Halaster's
Slaves side quest; there's no reward for completing it this way either.
When Shareesh is dead search his remains and take the Red Chain and
some other good items, including his two-bladed sword Honor and Death.
If you want you can interact with the Portal Stone in here, just place
the Activation Stone into the portal, step through the portal to visit
Waterdeep. You should have loads of equipment to sell so go to the
Argali Arms shop and sell all of the good items you've been finding for
a heafty profit. Step back through the portal to be back in the East
section.
In the room past where you defeated Shareesh you'll find even more
Rakshasas, including three First Borns, they're not as tough as the
last First Born. In this room is a sarcophagus, open it up to find
Linu's corpse, bring her back to life to be rewarded 500 XP; you can
let her fight by your side or send her back to the inn. Head back into
the Central section and go through the exit in the north to be in the
North section.
>>> LEVEL 2 NORTH
Explore this section and kill a bunch of Goblins, In the room to
the west is a big Ogre named Stoney, kill it and search its remains for
the Boots of Speed and a couple of nice weapons; these boots are
enhanced with Haste so you might want to slip them on right away. Head
to the south-west room and kill the Goblin leader Argo Blacktooth,
search his remains and take the Purple Chain among the other good
items. There are three levers in here and I don't know what they're
used for. Head back to the Central section now that you have the four
colored chains.
>>> ADVANCING TO LEVEL 3
Now that you have the four chains go to the center of the map to
the well (Pool of Colors) and the four colored pillars. Put a colored
chain on the appropriate pillar to make four colored chains appear,
Red, Yellow, Purple and Green. When all four chains are put in place
the well will begin to glow, you will see a color pattern appear above
the pool when you interact with it. This puzzle took me hours to
figure out so be glad I'm here to guide you through it. To lower the
gate to advance to level 3 you have to pull the chains in a certain
order, the colors above the well are giving you the correct sequence.
These colors are kind of hard to make out so lower the brightness
through the options menu so you can better make out the correct color
combintaion if you're having trouble seeing the colors. You have to
*WAIT* for the colors above the pool to *STOP* (by stop I mean
dissappear) before attempting the sequence, you have to pull 6 chains
in the correct order for the door to open. If you pull the chains out
of sequence then an enemy will appear, when you pull the chains in the
right sequence you will hear something like the sound of a bell. If
you pull a chain out of order the chains will reset and you'll have to
try again by looking into the well and waiting for the color sequence
to stop. I advise you to write down the combination as you go so you
don't spend hours on end here, it's going to take you long enough just
to get the right combination. This color combination is RANDOMLY
generated so don't e-mail me and ask me for it. I know for a fact that
this color sequence is random because I've played through this campaign
five times, and in each game the combination was different so I just
laid to rest this issue. When the gate finally lowers head through the
door and speak with a Zombie named Berger, get some information from
him about Halaster being captured and then head on down to
Undermountain level 3.

-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Descent Into Undermountain
------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: DESCENT INTO UNDERMOUNTAIN ~
------------------------------------------
>>> LEVEL 3 CENTRAL
There will be a Central, North and this time a West section on
level 3. Kill some more Drow and go through the door in the west, try
to open the next door and a friendly Drow named Nathyrra will appear
and speak to you, a side quest An Unexpected Ally will get added to
your Journal. Nathyrra gives you information about where Halaster is
being held among other things, including some new information on the
Valsharess; she also tells you about a Formian Queen being held
captive. Go through the door and head into the Drow Camp, kill all the
Drow lurking around in here and search the area for items.
Leave the camp and go to the south of the map to trigger a cut
scene and to be in the Mines, you'll see the Slave Pens in here too.
After the cut scene clear out the area of Drow and then go to the north
to see the Formian Queen trapped in a magical sphere. Pull the lever
next to the queen and then speak with her, she'll give you some
information if you talk to her, you can choose to kill her too, but
doing this would earn you some evil points. If you let her live then
she and the non-hostile Formians in the area will burrow out of here;
you get no reward or anything for freeing the Queen so don't expect
anything. Head back into the Drow Cap and go through the door marked
to North Passage.
>>> LEVEL 3 NORTH
Nathyrra will appear right away near the entrance and will speak
tou again, she will tell about a secret passage in the north that you
can use. You don't have to go into this passage if you don't want to,
but I recommend that melee fighting characters go this secret way
becuase the battle will be easier. If you go through the secret
passage marked Hidden Tunnel on the map, use the Ballistas to kill all
the Drow and Duergars down below. Clear the entire map of enemies and
make sure you check the large chest in the Encampment to the south to
find a bunch of equipment. After the area is cleared out go through
the door marked exit in the south-west.
>>> LEVEL 3 SOUTH
Nathyrra will appear and speak with you yet again, she will offer
to fight by your side if you'll allow her to, or you can just whack her
if you're an evil character. It's finally time to free this Halaster
everyone has been talking about. Open the door to trigger another cut
scene, when it's over an intense battle will commence with an
overwhelming amount of Drow. When the battle is over you'll see
Halaster trapped by electrical beams, destroy the three energy stones
surrounding him causing the beams and then speak to him. Halaster
tells you a lot of interesting main story line information so make sure
you read all of his responses. After this lengthy conversation is over
you will advance to chapter two.

- Main Quest: Beholders Allied with the Valsharess
- Main Quest: Undead Army of the Valsharess
- Main Quest: Illithid Allies of the Valsharess
- Side Quest: A Daughter's Ambition
>>> EXPLORING CITY CORE & PORT
You'll start this chapter off in the Temple of Lolth in a town
called Lith My'athar speaking with The Seer, get some information from
her regarding the horrible circumstances that has befallen Lith
My'athar; if you've managed to keep Nathyrra alive then she'll also be
in the conversation. The camera angle will automatically switch to the
Chase Cam, if you don't like the new camera angle then go into the Game
Options Menu and change it back to the one you prefer. Speak with
Nathyrra and ask her abouth the Valsharess to get three more main
quests added to your Journal; you can hire Nathyrra as your henchman if
you wish. And you can also speak to Valen Shdowbreath next to The Seer
and hire him as your henchman as well. During this chapter talk to The
Seer if you need healing from all the nasty spell effects you'll suffer
from during your journeys.
Leave the Temple of Lolth and explore the area, you should buy
some better equipment from the Armory and Forge. Rizolvir in the
Armory can upgrade your weapon(s), just ask him to and a list will pop
up with a bunch of enhancements, it costs a lot of gold to enhance a
weapon but it is well worth it; also note that there is a limited
amount of enhancements you can upgrade your weapon with so choose
wisely if you upgrade your weapon(s); the special weapons you find all
over the place can even get enhancements added to them. I suggest that
if you're going to enhance a regular weapon with no special properties
other than an Enhancement Bonus then choose one with at least a +6
Enhancement Bonus. I also recommend that that you purchase the Haste
enhancement as soon as you can. In case you didn't know, Haste will
give you one free attack per round with ranged and melee weapons and
increases your Base Movement Speed up to 150%, and Haste also cuts
spell casting time down to HALF! So, choosing the Haste enhancement
here would be a very wise decision on your part. The High Wizard
Gulhrys in the Merchant area sells a lot of magical items so go and
make some purchases before you begin exploring chapter two. You can
get information on the main quests for this chapter from all of the
Commanders at the various Training Grounds around the area, if you pay
attention to the story line in the game like I do then you will
definitely want to talk to these Commanders to find out more
interesting things. Before journeying to the Strange Island Town go
into the Maeviir Public House to do the quick side quest below.
_______________________________________________________________________
-------------------------------------
~ SIDE QUEST: A DAUGHTER'S AMBITION ~
-------------------------------------
Head into the Maeviir Public House and speak with a woman named
Zesyyr, she will inform you that she wants her own mother killed, and
she wants you to do it; agree to do so and she will give you the
Maeviir House Signet Ring. I know this sounds like an utterly evil
quest geared towards evil characters but it isn't. Head to House
Maeviir in the north-west corner and speak with the guards out front,
show them the ring Zesyyr gave you and they will let you into the
house. Speak with the woman you were sent here to whack, Matron Mother
Myrune, and you'll have a choice of attacking her and her Drow Guards
from the get go, killing her is the more lawful choice believe it or
not. The evil choice here is to inform Myrune of what her daughter has
been planning and she will reward you with an Amulet of the Will +8.
You can also inform her of her daughter's plan to have her killed to
gain the amulet, then just kill Myrune to fulfill the contract after
she gives you the amulet. If you let Myrune live you'll gain 3
alignment points towards evil; if you kill her then a cut scene will
trigger when she dies and you'll be rewarded 5,000 XP and 20,000 gold.

~ SHAORI'S FELL ~
<><><><><><><><><>
-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Avariel Trapped Beneath the Earth
-------------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: AVARIEL TRAPPED BENEATH THE EARTH ~
-------------------------------------------------
Go to the Docks in the north-east of the port and speak with
Cavallas; ask him about the Islands and two quests will go into your
Journal, A Strange Island Town and the Golems on an Island quests. Ask
him to take you across the river to the Strange Island Town. When you
alight the boat Cavallas will be standing by the shore line, he can
take you back to Lith My'athar at any time - just ask him to take you
back if you find too much equipment and become encumbered, or need to
re-stock on any potions and such.
>>> SHAORI'S FELL
Procceed slowly and enter the Drow Camp and encounter some new
types of Drow, Red Sisters; there will also be a powerful Sorcereres
named Sabal attacking you and she'll dissappear after you widdle her
health down to injured. Explore Shaori's Fell and you'll spot numerous
map pins indicating the Drow Camp you're now in, a Temple to the south-
west, a cave to the south-east, a Merchant in the middle of the map, a
Library in the east, a Castle in the west, and finally a Wizard Tower
in the north-east. The goal here is to find five pieces of a Broken
Mirror. Near the Merchant some Avariels will approach you, don't do
anything hostile to them and speak with Skaa. Skaa will inform you of
all the troubles in the area and informs you to go see the Queen, the
Avariel Trapped Beneath the Earth quest will go into your Journal.
>>> SHAORI'S CAVE
Go to the cave in the south-east, Sabal and her evil Drow followers
will jump you again so kill them all and when Sabal gets injured she'll
teleport herself to safety. Go into the cave and speak with Shaori,
tell her you're looking for allies to aid in the battle against the
Valsharess; Shaori will then tell you of a magic mirror that must be
fixed. She will tell you that she gave a piece of the broken mirror to
Sabal; and she'll inform you that you must find a total of five mirror
pieces. The Shaori's Cave quest will go into your Journal as already
being complete. You have the option of killing Shaori but I advise you
DON'T.
>>> THE CASTLE
Go into the Castle in the west and when you are in front of it
Sabal will appear again, along with a bunch of Drow so kill them all;
again Sabal will dissappear when you get her health down to injured.
This will prove to be a really tough fight for melee type characters,
casters of the Divine and Arcane shouldn't have too many difficulties
here. After the intense battle go into the castle and kill a bunch of
Driders, they're like giant spider/humans and really aren't that tough;
take out the Drider Clerics first or they'll keep on healing the Drider
Chief. When the chief dies due to your blade/mace/spells or whatever
search its remains for a really good shortbow, Assanti.
You'll see the Throne Room to the north so head in there before
exploring the rest of the castle; the room is blocked by a web so just
touch the web and it will dissappear. In here speak with the Fool, he
will tell you more of the mirror that needs to be fixed and that you
must find five pieces for it; ask him about where they can be found and
your Journal Will get the following quests: The Merchant, The Library,
The Temple, and The Wizard's Tower; all of these quests must be
fulfilled to complete the main quest in the area. Explore the rest of
the castle and kill any remaining Driders to find some good items and
then blow out of this joint to meet the merchant.
>>> THE MERCHANT
Speak with the Merchant in the middle of the map and he will tell
you that he has a piece of the mirror and he will only trade it for
something of less value. Of course there's always the option of
killing the Merchant to aquire this piece but this of course is an evil
act, not to mention all of the friendly Avariel creatures will become
hostile towards you; every Winged-Elf killed will give you 5 alignment
points towards evil for EACH one you slay. That's a significant amount
of evil points so if your character is a Paladin or Druid then DO NOT
kill the Merchant or other Avariel creatures; if you do then you won't
be leveling up any time in the near future. Offer to make a deal for
the mirror shard (which is a compass, not a shard of glass) and he will
tell you that he wants something worth less, but he never tells you
what he wants for the trade. To get the piece without resorting to
violence you have to BLUFF or INTIMIDATE him. Just keep clicking
either the Bluff or Intimidate response over and over, sooner or later
you'll beat the Skill Check required for bluffing or intimidating and
aquire a Merchant Compass, this thing will guide you to the Mirror
Shards. You don't have to have this compass to find all of the shards,
it just informs your character when you're close to one and makes them
easier to find. To use the Compass click on it in your inventory and
select use, this will make your character flash bright yellow, the
closer you get to a Mirror Shard the faster your character will flash.
The flashing doesn't make your character suffer any ability losses and
won't interfere with spell casting or other forms of combat.
The Merchant told you that he has hidden a piece of the mirror
somewhere around the area, go BEHIND the Library and look in the bottom
corner to find a pile of garbage, take Mirror Shard 1/5 out of it,
you'll gain 1,000 XP for finding the shard. If you're character has
low Spot skills then you may have trouble spotting the pile of garbage
the mirror piece is in, if this is the case then activate the compass
the merchant gave you and the pile of trash will appear.
>>> THE LIBRARY
Since you're near the Library head on inside. Speak with Ulithar
as soon as you enter this place, he will tell you that his wife has
turned into a Medusa. Go through the door to see the Medusa, Quathala,
romaing around in the library. You can attack her if you'd like, she's
pretty tough and can turn you into stone, there is no alignment penalty
for killing her. If you want to get the mirror shard without killing
her then go into the little room on the bottom of the map and open up
the armoire to find a potion of Sight Warding; drink the potion, this
will make Quathala non-hostile and you'll be able to speak with her.
Tell her you want the mirror shard and she'll ask you a riddle; the
answer to it is Mud. You can also try to Bluff or Intimidate her into
handing over the shard. Whether you kill her, answer her riddle, or
Bluff or Intimidate her you'll aquire Mirror Shard 2/5 and gain 1,000
XP for aquiring the shard.
>>> THE TEMPLE
Go to the Temple in the south-west and head on inside. Speak with
Lomylithrar and he will immediately disease your character and all of
your abilities will be decreased. To get the next shard and obtain the
cure for this uncureable disease you've been inflicted with you have to
play a little game. Of course there's always the option of slaying
this evil priest to aquire both the shard and the cure you're in dire
need of, there's no alignment shift if you kill the priest, you'll also
gain some good items if you decide to whack him.
If you agree to his challenge then just pull one of the chains
hanging from the ceiling to be teleported into "the ring" so to speak
and kill a big Diseased Troll; because your ability scores are really
low right now melee characters will have issues here, as always casters
of the Arcane should breeze right through this round. When the Troll
is defeated you'll teleport back to Lomylithrar and he will inform you
of another round you must fight, pull one of the chains again to
teleport back into the ring, this time you'll be fighting another
Diseased Troll or a Dire Spider. When the Troll or Spider dies you'll
go another two rounds with a Diseased Troll or a Dire Spider in each.
For the fifth and final you'll have a go at a Dire Spider, when it dies
you'll have beaten Lomylithrar's challenge; he will reward you with
Mirror Shard 3/5 and Lomylithrar's Antidote; drink it right away to
cure your character, you'll also gain 1,000 XP for aquiring the shard.
>>> THE WIZARD'S TOWER
Head to the Wizard's Tower in the north-east, before going inside
speak with Petyr, he will tell all about the Archmage Apprentice who
resides in the tower, this apprentice has of piece of the mirror you
are trying to refurbish. Head into the tower and kill all of the
Vrocks, Drow and the giant Balor in the corner and then go up the
stairs to level 2. There will be a little magical dust cloud called a
wild magical surge following your character around while you're in this
tower, it can disrupt the casting of spells and I don't think you can
get rid of it. If you're trying to cast a spell then run out of the
cloud to significantly increase the chance of the successful casting of
the spell. GLITCH ALERT: I don't know if it's just my copy of the game
but it tended to freeze up a few times while I was in this tower so
don't be surprised if it happens to you.
Level 2 of the tower is also infested with enemies so slay them
all. The Balors aren't as tough as they look so don't be intimidated
by their gigantic stature; they can turn your character into a chicken
for a few rounds, the Vrocks can change you into a penguin, it's kind
of funny when this happens. When the carnage fest is over head up to
level 3.
This level of the tower is infested with Green, Gray and Death
Slaads, they can do all sorts of nasty things to your character so
beware. Search this level of the tower and you'll run into Jansil, the
Archmage Apprentice, in a small room in the north-west. When you get
Jansil's health down to injured he will surrender so speak with him.
He'll give you Mirror Shard 4/5 and you'll also gain 1,000 XP. You can
also slay him to get the shard and XP, there's no alignment penalty if
you decide to kill him.
>>> BACK IN THE CASTLE
Now that you have four Mirror Shards go back into the castle in
the west. Head straight into the Throne Room and speak with the Fool,
Sabal is standing next to him. The Fool will speak a little but the
inevitable battle with Sabal will insue, this fight is to the end and
she won't teleport elsewhere when you get her health down to injured.
When the battle begins don't attack the Fool because you can't harm
him. Sabal is a really tough opponent and as you would guess she
summons forth a bunch of Red Sisters to aid her in the slaying of you.
You can use the mirror shards on the glowing Pillars of the Guardian in
the room to polymorph into an Iron Golem if you want. Sabal will also
use these pillars to polymorph herself into an Iron Golem that can
severely damage your character. When Sabal is defeated search her
coprse for Mirror Shard 5/5, along with some good items and the 1,000
XP for aquiring this final shard. Speak with the Fool again and then
you and him will be teleported into Shaori's Cave.
>>> OBTAINING THE MIRROR
Hopefully you decided to let Queen Shaori live and didn't go on a
chaotic killing spree and killed all of the Avariel creatures. The
quest Avariel Trapped Beneath the Earth will get completed (even if you
killed her) and you'll be rewarded 5,000 XP and aquire the Mirror of
All-Seeing. Head back to the boat and tell Cavallas to take you back
to the Seer's Camp to stock up on items and sell all of the good ones
you've been finding for a heafty profit. The Merchant Compass is now
useless and you can sell it for a decent buck. I advise you to buy a
ranged weapon if you don't have one and can't cast long range spells
for you are going to need one on the next island, if you don't use
ranged weapons then just buy the cheapest one and the cheapest ammo for
it. When you're re-stocked and weighed down by all of the gold you've
just aquired, have Cavallas take you to the Isle of the Maker.

-- QUESTS:
- Main Quest: Golems on an Island
-----------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: GOLEMS ON AN ISLAND ~
-----------------------------------
Your goal here is to make an ally with a Golem to assist in the
upcoming battle against Valsharess's Army. Go into the Duergar
Encampment in the south-east and look for the Merchant in there, speak
with him to find out some information and then check his inventory for
any items you may want; I suggest you purchase a Bag of Holding, not
only does it reduce the weight of the items put into it buy 100%, it
also gives you extra space in your inventory. Speak with Dahanna who
is also in this encampment, she'll tell you about the Maker and how the
Golems are taking over the island. You can attack Dahanna and all of
the other Duergars but this wouldn't be for the greater good and not in
your best interest at this point in the game. Head into the Dungeon in
the middle of the map.
>>> UPPER RUINS
The Upper Ruins are one big circular/sgaure corridor with a bunch
of small rooms leading off of it; in the main corridor are a bunch of
Iron, Clay and Stone Golems; you'll also see a Scavanger Golem roaming
around, it can't be killed yet and it can resurrect all of the Golems
you slay in the main corridor. This can get quite aggrevating but if
you're patient then you can gain a lot of XP here, you should be
zooming through the levels and at least level 21 by now with the Epic
Status. If the resurrecting Golems get too tough for you just make
sure the doors are closed when you leave all of the small rooms you
enter.
Hang a right in the main corridor and go into the first door on
the right, kill the Minogons in here and search the chest in the back
of the room for some Blue Powder. Hang a right in the main corridor
and through the next door you get to, kill the Stone Golem in here and
open the chest to find a Magical Crystal. Go through the next door
down the corridor and kill the three Golems in here, open the chests in
here to find a Golem Head and a Golden Rod; look on the bookshelf in
here and take the two books off of it, Lexicon Arcana and the
Scriptures of the Created. Take a look at the books, in Lexicon Arcana
there is an answer to a riddle, in the Scriptures book there are
recipes for some items to help you destroy the Golems. These items are
made in the north-east corner room on the Alchemist's Apparatus but
first you need more ingredients, make sure you take the Yellow and Red
Powders out of the chest in the room. You should have the items needed
to make a Golem Binder, an item that will slow the Golems down. To
craft this rod interact with the Alchemist Apparatus and place the
Golden Rod, 1 Yellow Powder, and 1 Blue Powder onto it, this will make
the rod appear on the apparatus. This rod only has ten charges so make
them count; don't waste them on the normal Golems, save the charges for
the super tough Guardian Golem you'll encounter shortly.
Go into the room next to this one to fight a really tough Weapon
Spirit, it will disarm your character and posses your melee weapon so
pick up one of the numerous weapon lying on the floor and kill the
spirit to get your weapon back. When the Spirit Sword is no more make
sure you check the remains of Merkil for some Blue Powder and Merkil's
Plate Armor, a really great suit to wear if your character is able to
wear heavy armor; search near his corpse to find Merkil's Helmet and
Hammer also.
Continue along through the corrior and you'll come across two
doors alomost directly across from eachother, the north door takes you
to the next level of the ruins and it is guarded by a super tough
Guardian Golem, I advise you search the rest of this level to find the
ingredients to make a rod that will aid you in taking down this Super
Golem. Go into the door across from the Guardian Golem with the
Control Room sign in front of it. In here is a little puzzle that
drove me crazy trying to figure it out and then slapped myself in the
forehead when I finally did. Kill the four Iron Golems in here (a
Maximized Isaac's Greater Missle Storm will take out three of them in
one cast) and then you'll notice a Control Panel in the middle of the
room. Don't interact with the middle panel, it will zap you pretty
good with a bolt of electricity and might even kill you. You'll see
two smaller panels to either side of the main one, interact with these
two panels to make the number 54 glow in the middle of the room, now
interact with the middle panel to see something interesting. The
Scavanger Golem is now dead and you need not worry about those forever
resurrecting Golems anymore. You probably want to know how I obtained
the solution to this puzzle. If you were paying attention then you
would have noticed that the Scavanger Golem roaming around says the
words "Sinth Thest" when you walk near it. If you look in in the book
Lexicon Arcana you will notice that next to the numbers are code words
for them. Next to number five is the code word Sinth, next to number
four is the code word Thest. Whalah, puzzle solved.
Go into the next room along the main corridor to see a Golden
Armor Suit statue in the middle of the room surrouned by a huge trap.
You *CANNOT* disable this trap using that skill so don't waste your
time trying; if you walk onto the trap then the statue will disappear.
Directly behind the statue is a pillar, look behind it to find a lever,
pull it to disable the trap surrounding the statue. Approach the
statue and it will dissappear, you'll now have the Searing Helmet and
the Searing Armor in your inventory; these are some of the best armor
items in the game. Go into the room next to the statue and take the
Golem Right Hand out of the chest in there.
Head into the main corridor and go into the last two rooms and
look in the chests to find a Mithral Statue and two more Blue Powders.
Go to the Alchemist Apparatus so you can craft some more rods. Place
the Mithral Staue and TWO Blue Powders onto the table and the Golem
Crasher will appear, this will help you kill the really tough Guardian
Golem blocking the passage to the next level. To create a Golem
Attractor place the Magical Crystal, a Blue Powder and a Red Powder
onto the apparatus, this will make the crystal appear; when used this
will attract Golems to where it is placed.
When you are ready to battle with the Guardian Golem head into the
north corridor and let the fight begin. Use the Golem Crasher on him
(about 6-7 charges) to take him out. Enter the lower ruins when this
gigantic construct gets deconstructed.
>>> LOWER RUINS AND GAINING A GOLEM ALLY
Upon entering the Lower Ruins a cut scene will trigger, when it's
over you'll be attacked by some Flesh and Bronze Golems. The Lower
Ruins has two Golem Camps, Aghaaz's camp is in the north and Ferron's
camp is to the south. Aghaaz is the evil one and Ferron is the good
one. There are two ways you can do this part. The evil way would to
be to go to the north, open the chest in the first room to find a Golem
Torso, all the Golem pieces I lead you to will only be there if your
character has the ability to cast ARCANE spells; if you can't cast
Arcane spells then the Golem pieces will not be there. Open the other
door in here and a Flesh Golem will speak with you so tell it to take
you to his master Aghaaz. Aghaaz will tell you about Ferron in the
south and how he wants him dead. Tell Aghaaz about the Valsharess and
he will agree to aid in the battle if you kill Ferron for him. Don't
attack any of the non-hostile Golems in the north area or they'll all
become hostile. Go to the south and kill all of the Bronze Golems,
search the area for more Golem Pieces in some chests including a Golem
Left Leg, Golem Left Hand and a Golem Right Leg. When you get so far a
non-hostile Bronze Golem will speak with you, tell it to take you to
Ferron or attack it. When you get into Ferron's Camp obviously kill
him, it's going to prove to be quite the battle, especially for melee
type characters. Search Ferron's corpse and take his head. Return to
Aghaaz and give him Ferron's Head, you will be rewarded 2,500 XP and
gain Aghaaz and his Fleash Golem followers as allies for the major
upcoming battle.
The more lawful way to do this part would be to go to Ferron's
camp in the south. Speak with Ferron and he will tell you about Aghaaz
in the north, and how he wants you to kill him and obtain the Power
Source. Tell him about the Valsharess and he will offer to assist you
in the battle if you'll whack Aghaaz for him and bring him his precious
Power Source. Head to the north and kill a bunch of Flesh Golems and
when you reach Aghaaz's Camp obviously kill him. This will be a tough
battle and melee characters will suffer horribly during it. When
Aghaaz and the seemingly endless amount of Flesh Golems fall victim to
your wrath, go through the door in here to enter the Power Source room;
walk up to the Power Source and take it. Return to Ferron and give him
the Power Source to be rewarded 2,500 XP and to gain Ferron and his
Bronze Golem followers as allies in the upcoming major battle against
the Valsharess's Army.
>>> THE MAKER'S SANCTUM
Go down the stairs in Ferron's Camp to enter the Maker's Sanctum.
You don't have to come down here but will gain some good items and XP
if you do, not to mention you'll get to construct a Golem that will act
as your henchman if your character is a caster of the Arcane. Walk
forwards onto a square platform and then a magical current will
surround the platform, you'll notice four Magic Mirrors in each corner.
This is what I told you to buy a ranged weapon for if you can't cast
long range spells. QUICKLY shoot each mirror with an arrow, bolt, or
bullet, or just launch Fireballs or Magic Missles at them, and the
magical current will dissappear so proceed south to a Will-'O-Wisp
named the Keeper. If you're not quick enough in destroying the mirrors
then they will reset and you'll have to try again, Haste your character
if you're having trouble destroying the mirrors in the short amount of
time alloted.
If you have the Golem Attractor then DROP it BEFORE you talk with
the Keeper! Speak with the Keeper and you'll notice two giant Mithral
Golems standing idly in the background. No matter what response you
choose the Keeper will teleport elsewhere and you'll be attacked by the
two Mithral Golems; if you've dropped the Golem Attractor then they'll
be distracted by it and will go to it; try to keep them near where
you've dropped the Attractor. They are extremely fast and brutal
opponents, hopefully you still have some charges left in the Golem
Binder and Golem Crasher; if you do then use the Binder to slow them
down a little and then zap them with the remaining charges (if any)
from the Crasher. Melee type characters will have their hands full
here, especially if they don't have the Golem Attractor; these things
are so brutal that you have to drink a Potion of Heal for every
successful melee blow you deliver. That's an insane amount of healing
potions and gold spent buying them, I feel bad for your character if
it's a Fighter, Barbarian, Paladin or other melee designed character
class. If you're a caster of the Arcane then cast the Maximized
Isaac's Greater Missle Storm spell to kill a Mithral Golem with just
one cast. Divine magic casters may want to summon an Elemental of some
sorts to distract and help you kill these Golems. When the Golems
finally die search their remains and take the two Golem Seals and Bars
of Mithral; the bars are for crafting weapons and armor. Place the
Golem Seals on the two Pedestals near the locked gate, this will unlock
it. I advise you to drink a bunch of potions or cast the spells for
them because you're about to have a difficult battle; more difficult
than the two Mithrals you just took down. When you're all powered up
via spells or potions head through the gate to enter the Maker's Study.
The Maker, a floating Demi-lich Skull, will float over and speak
with you. He will tell you about the perfect Golem race he is trying
to create and he drones on and on for a minute or two so prepare for a
lengthy conversation. No matter the responses you choose during the
conversation the Maker will attack you sooner or later. The portal in
the corner of the room will take you to a small room near the entrance
into the Upper Ruins. First off, the only way to kill this skull is
via spells, you can't damage it at all with a melee weapon. One of the
characters I've played the game as was a very powerful level 26 Fighter
with a 32 Strength ability score and Epic Weapon Specialization with a
Greatsword, I was using a Greatsword +10 with all kinds of other
bonuses and sat here for half an hour trying to damage The Maker and I
just couldn't break through its resistances so I don't think this thing
can be killed via melee weapons. This thing is about twice as hard as
Klauth the Ancient Red Wyrm was during the origional campaign, have A
LOT of healing potions on hand for this insanely tough battle. This
Demi-lich is resistant to a whole array of spells but keep casting them
at him and you'll wear its resistance out sooner or later; it will also
cast a whole arsenal of lethal spells at you. The Greater Spell
Mantle, Extended Greater Stoneskin, Globe of Invulnerability and
Extended Endurance spells worked out great for me against this thing,
so did, as always, the ever so trusty mega spell, Maximized Isaac's
Greater Missle Storm. When it finally dies you'll gain a good amount
of XP and make sure you take the Golem Machine Activator key from its
skull. Search the chests in the corner to find a Lich Skull Helmet and
other items.
Look on the bookshelf to the left of the Golem Machine to find
some books, the Magics of Golem Enhancements and The Guardian Guide,
these books inform you in the art of constructing a Golem. Approach
the Golem Machine in the room and use the key on it to make a
Controlling Amulet appear, leave the amulet in the machine. ONLY
CASTERS OF THE ARCANE CAN DO THIS PART AND CONSTRUCT THE GOLEM! Now
place all of the Golem Pieces I led you to into the machine (it works
like a chest, just place the parts where you would normally take stuff
from a chest). The parts include a Golem Left Hand, Golem Right Hand,
Golem Torso, Golem Head, Golem Left Leg and Golem Right Leg. If you
don't have all of these parts then go up to the previous two levels of
these ruins and look in every container. Sometimes when you use spells
with large areas of effect such as Fireball or Ice Storm, chests and
crates can get destroyed, leaving behind a tiny bag that's hard to
notice. Once you place all of these parts into the Golem Machine take
notice of the four Spell Conduit pillars around the machine. In the
book the Magics of Golem Enhancements it explains these conduits, cast
a spell from the book on each Spell Conduit, interact with the Spell
Conduit and choose the respone "cast a spell," your character will then
read a scroll from your inventory if you have one, if not then just
cast the spell manually on it. When each conduit gets a spell cast on
it a Shield Guardian Golem will appear so interact with it. You will
have the option of loading spells into three slots on the Golem, I
recommend that you do this. When you're done this Golem will now be
your new henchman and will follow you around until it dies. Each time
you rest you should refill the spell slots in the Golem. The only way
to get rid of this Golem is if it dies, you can't release it like you
can other henchmen, and you don't have to be wearing the Controlling
Amulet in order for the Golem to follow you.
Head through the portal in the room and exit the ruins, when you
get outside Dahanna will speak with you, she and her Dwarven followers
will have their weapons drawn at you; you can either attack her, give
her 10,000 gold, and have all sorts of other options here. If you pay
her the gold she demands then her and her Duergar band of idiots will
leave in peace; you'll be rewarded 500 XP. If you attack her or choose
a wrong response then you're in for a good fight, there's no alignment
shift if you kill Dahanna and the rest of the Dwarves. Dahanna is a
tough and mean little Dwarf, her sword inflicts MAJOR wounding damage,
the Golem you just constructed (if you did) comes in very hand right
now. When Dahanna falls prey to your wrath search her corpse for her
blade, the Bloodletter and some Duergar Full Plate Armor +5, along with
some other good items. Search all the remains of the fallen Duergars
to find more items and head back to Lith My'athar.

-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Undead Army of the Valsharess
- Side Quest: Captured Deva
---------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: UNDEAD ARMY OF THE VALSHARESS ~
~ SIDE QUEST: CAPTURED DEVA ~
---------------------------------------------
Before heading out into the Environs go inform The Seer in the
Temple of Lolth of your progress. Go restock on items and then head
into the Lith My'athar Environs in the south-west. Speak with Seargent
Osyyr in front of the gate to find out some information on the Undead,
Illithids and Beholders in the area; tell him to open up the gates and
then go into the north-west passage.
South of the map is marked to the South Tunnels, west on the map
is marked to West Tunnels, and north-west is marked to North Tunnels.
Explore the area and kill some Umber Hulks and Harpys, when you're done
farting around head into the South Tunnels.
>>> DREARING'S DEEP
Your goal for this quest is to kill the Valsharess's Undead Army
leader, a Dragon named Vixthra. You'll see a Rock Gnome named Cordigan
sitting on the ground as soon as you enter this place, speak with him
to find out what's going around here to learn loads of new information
about the Gnomish Council, the Illithids, Beholders and Undead.
Cordigan and the folks around Drearing's Deep are all ex-slaves who
have escaped their evil master, who you will find and kill in a little
bit.
Explore the area and you'll see a lot of slaves romaing around,
there is a Merchant in the south-west but he only has a minimal
inventory and doesn't sell anything extravagent. To the north is a
Temple with a gong in front of it, ring the gong and a cut scene will
trigger of you and the slaves storming the Temple. If you've killed
the two Cult Knights guarding the temple then nothing will happen when
you ring the gong and you'll have to open the door to the temple via
bashing or spell.
>>> CULT TEMPLE
Kill the two Cult Knights attacking you, search the small rooms to
find a Cult Knight Helmet, it has no special properties. You'll spot a
door leading up and a door leading down, the door leading down requires
a key you must find so head on up the stairs to level 2.
Waste some more Cult Knights, Skeletal Devourers and Shadow
Fiends; you'll see an altar covered in black ooze and to use it you
must have a Black Pearl. Search the two rooms up here to find 2 Black
Pearls and a bunch of random items; you'll also spot some stairs going
up. Go to the altar and interact with it, since you now have a Black
Pearl your melee weapon will get enhanced with Strength Ability Drain
DC-24. You can also enhance a second melee weapon since you have an
extra Black Pearl, I don't know if you can enhance a ranged weapon
since I never use them and haven't tried to upgrade one with this
process. Head on up to level 3.
As soon as you enter you'll be attacked by an Elite Cult Knight so
kill him, he's signaficantly tougher than the regular knights so
melee'rs beware. When the elite finally dies search the remains for
some Half Plate Armor +5 and the Blade of Shadows. Go through the
trapped door up here to see a powerful Vampire High Priest named
Sodalis; he will immediately cast a Time Stop spell and summon a few
Great Fire Elementals and flee elsewhere. Kill the Elementals and then
chase after Sodalis. He will continue to use the Time Stop spell on
you and he will also cast a Bigby's Clenched Fist spell that seems to
last an awful long time. If you're able to, then cast Greater Spell
Mantel, Extended Greater Stoneskin, Extended Globe of Invulerabilty,
Extended Endurance, and Improved Invisibility spells on yourself before
you open the door to meet Sodalis; this will flip the odds for this
battle in your favor. When Sodalis falls victim to your wrath search
his remains for the Lower Crypt Key, along with a bunch a good items,
including his Staff. Search the rest of this floor for some more items
and then head back down to the first floor and use the Lower Crypt Key
on the bottom of the stairs and enter the crypt.
>>> INNER SANCTUM
Approach the edge of the pit and take the rope out of the chest
next to it, use the rope and throw it down into the pit; then climb
down the rope and try not to burn your hands doing so. A Cult Monk who
is guarded by two Bone Golems will speak with you and no matter your
responses the Monk will attack so kill him and the two Bone Golems,
search the dead Monk's corpse and take the Energy Orb. Before opening
the door that's behind the now dead Cult member, go to the small room
across from it and BASH the chest in the room and pick up some
Splintered Wood, there should be 3 pieces per wooden container you bash
in. Across from this room is a sarcophagus, interact with it and
choose the response "drive a piece of wood through the creatures heart"
and you will do so, thus killing the Vampire that was resting inside of
it. Now head through the door that was previously not so well guarded.
This part can get frustrating for there are going to be
resurrecting Cult Monks the whole time you're down here so you won't be
able to rest. These evil little Monks will constantly Level Drain your
character so cast some defensive spells. If you can't read scrolls or
cast spells then The Seer in the Temple of Lolth can cure you of this
wretched spell effect, just ask her to be healed; it would be a
complete waste of time to get healed by her until you're done exploring
the Inner Sanctum. In the Central Hall are three doors, one north, one
east and one west. Notice that in front of the doors are glowing
pedestals, 1 in front of the west door, 2 in front of the east door,
and 3 in front of the north door. Place the Energy Orb you have onto
the pedestal in front of the west door and the door will get destroyed,
PUT THE ORB BACK INTO YOUR PACK! Welcome to Hell ladies and gentleman,
this part can get quite aggrevating, especially for melee type
characters.
If you didn't get your weapon enhanced with Haste then cast the
spell for it or have a bunch of speed potions on hand so you can run
fast. My advice is to keep making yourself Invisible, if you choose to
do this then this part is really easy, just make sure you close all of
the doors you go through while Invisible and the Cult Monks won't see
you attack their Elders. When the door gets destroyed and you go
through it five Cult Monks will attack you (if not Invisible). They are
incredibly tough and after you kill them they will keep resurrecting
and you can gain MASSIVE amounts of experience here to gain quite a few
levels. If you want to gain a couple of levels (it won't take very
long, in a half hour I went up 2 levels) it will pay off, especially
for multiclassed characters. Remeber that Prestige Classes reach Epic
Status at levell 11 so you may want to stick around for awhile if
you're character has taken on a Prestige Class and keep leveling it up.
If you don't feel like spending too long down here then just Haste
yourself and don't concentrate on killing these whacko culties, just
collect the next Energy Orb as fast as you can and move on. You'll
notice two large rooms to the north and south, head into the north room
and open the door in there. Kill the Cult Elder Monk and then QUICKLY
go in the room behind her and interact with the Tomb and drive another
splinter of wood through the resting Vampire's heart. If you don't do
this fast enough then the Elder Cult Monk will resurrect so make it
quick. In the south room you'll find a Tome of the Vix'thrite Elders,
this book is enhanced with the Energy Drain spell and any character
class may use it.
Return to the Central Hall and place the two Energy Orbs on the
pedestals in front of the east door and PUT THE ORBS BACK INTO YOUR
PACK after the door gets destroyed. If you didn't make yourself
Invisible then the Cult Monks from the west will be chasing after you,
and if you didn't drive a steak through the Vampire's heart in its Tomb
then the Elder Cult Monk will also be in on the chase and making this
adventure not a pleasent one. Head into the room and kill a few Bone
Golems and their controller, the Shadow Master who is standing by a
Torture Device. Search the remains of the master for some worthy
items, including his pair of Kukris, Hatred and Strife. You'll see a
woman named Lavoera trapped inside the Torture Device, speak with her
and she'll inform you of a rod you must obtain if you are to free her;
the side quest Captured Deva will go into your Journal. Search the
small cells above the torture device and take the Bone Ring out of a
pile of garbage, this ring will make your character immune to
Level/Ability Drain if equipped. Head through the door just past these
small cells to kill a bunch of Drow and a Bone Golem, when the room is
cleared out search the Drow Handmaiden's corpse to find some decent
items, including a Letter from the Valsharess addressed to Vix'thara.
Head to the large room in the north and approach the door in the far
north, kill the Shadow Master and QUICKLY go through the trapped door
and drive a steak through the Vampire's heart resting in its Tomb, if
you're not fast enough in doing so then the Shadow Master will
resurrect. Search the chests in the room to find the Nullifier Rod,
Lovana's Wrath (a Mace), and the third and final Energy Orb. Return to
Lavoera and interact with the Magical Apparatus next to the pillar and
choose to place the Nullifier Rod into it. Lavoera is now free so
speak with her, you'll gain 1,500 XP for completing the Captured Deva
side quest. You can hire her as your henchman to have an extra hand in
killing Vix'thara if you want, or you can kill her, or you can send her
on her way. Make sure you take the Crystal of Undeath (an Amulet with
not so great special properties) off of the ground by Lavoera. Return
to the Central Hall and use the three Energy Orbs on the pedestals in
front of the north door, the Energy Orbs are useless now so just leave
them in the pedestals. Head through the door and a cut scene will
trigger.
Well, well, well, Sodalis isn't dead after all, he is an Undead
creature so I'm not surprised in the least. I think he's a lot weaker
this time around and you shouldn't have too many issues here. When he
dies, again, head through the exit but before doing so I recommend that
you make yourself Invisible.
>>> HALL OF THE SACRED ONE
As soon as you enter this place another cut scene will trigger and
then you'll be attacked by a big Bone Dragon, Vixthra, if you're
Invisible then you will not be getting attacked. Don't start fighting
Vixthra because this foul beast can't be killed yet. Run to the north-
end of the cave and you'll see something called a Phylactery guarded by
two Bone Golems. Kill these giant skeletons and then destroy the
Phylactery via bashing or spells, now you may slay Vixthra. There will
Bone Golems all over the place during this battle and Vixthra has
extremely lethal acidic/electric breath so melee'rs be warned, one
breathe of that not so fresh breath takes away a good 100+ HP. Casters
of the Arcane with good feats can cast spells like a Maximized Isaac's
Greater Missle Storm on this Undead Dragon, about three casts and it's
toast. That's gotta be one of the best and most devastating spells in
the game. When Vixthra falls so does the alliance the Undead had with
the Valsharess for you just whiped them all out and put an abrupt halt
to the Valsharess's evil plan to take over Waterdeep. You'll gain a
total of 3,500 XP for completing this quest. Search the cave for TONS
of gold and other good treasures, including Death's Handmaiden Scythe,
Red Dragon Armor and some Great Wyrm Gauntlets. Exit Drearing's Deep
to be back in the Underdark, go to the North Tunnels.

>>> ZORVAK'MUR
Upon entering this place you'll be approached by a Duergar Raider
and his gang of thugs, no matter the response you choose you'll fight
them, they're wimps and should prove to be no problem. When all of
these medieval hoodlums are dealt with the waterfall blocking the path
will vanish. Search the head raiders remains and take the Helm of
Shielding and equip it, if you don't equip the helm then all of the
Illithids and people roaming around will attack you so put the helm on.
Go to the Stairs to the Inner Ring in the south-east and two Umber
Hulks and an Illithid will approach you. The Illithid creature will
speak with you, you can choose to attack it outright but first listen
to what it has to say. It will try to convice you to take off the Helm
of Shielding, you can if you want but everyone in the Quiet Village
will attack you. Tell this foul Illithid that you're here to buy some
slaves, not to become one and it will leave you be. When the
conversation is over descend the stairs to enter the Inner Ring.
>>> INNER RING
You can take the Helm of Shielding off if you want to but I advise
you keep it on. You'll spot a bunch of map pins, the Poison Chalice
Palace and Merchant Compound in the center of the map; north-west are
the Illithid Chambers; south-west are the Fighting Pits; north-east are
the Slave Auctions and the Slave Pens; in the south-east is the Portal
to the Grand Hall.
You can buy some goods from Artuur in the Merchant Compund, he
sells some good Robes for Wizards and Sorcerers. Head to the Fighting
Pits and speak with the Mind Flayer Pit Boss, you can place a bet on an
upcoming fight if you want. If you decide to place a wager a cut scene
will trigger when you look through the Viewing Port and you'll get to
watch the fight; if the fighter you bet on wins you'll aquire some
extra gold to add to your pouch, just speak with the Pit Boss to
collect your winnings, if any.
Head to the Slave Auction and speak with the Mind Flayer Slave
Merchant to buy the Female Thrall from it; you'll be bidding against
other buyers and may have to pay up to 5,000 gold for the slave; use
your Intimidate skill and you may be able to buy the slave cheaper if
your Skill Check succeeds. Speak with the Female Thrall after buying
her and you can either free her or send her to the Fighting Pits. If
you want to free her then you'll have to lie to her (no alignment
penalty) and give her a fake message to deliver to The Seer. The
Female Thrall side quest will go into your Journal, to complete it go
to the Temple of Lolth (if you let her live) and speak with her, you'll
be rewarded 500 XP and 3 alignment points towards good. If you want to
complete this quest make sure you go to the Temple of Lolth BEFORE
completing this main quest and the Beholder main quest.
Enter the Slave Pens and speak with the Warden, he will tell you
of how this place is where they do horrible things to the slaves before
sending them off to the Fighting Pits. Kill the Warden if you please
and search his remains for a Prison Master Key. Search the prison and
look for a Pearl of Bashing in a small room in the north-east with a
Drider in it. In one of the rooms are a bunch of slaves, you can speak
to their leader and free them if you wish. Keep in mind that if you
free this group of slaves then all of the Illithids and other creatures
roaming around town will all become hostile. If you free the slaves
then the side quest Thrall Revolt will go into your Journal as being
completed. I thank Evi Apostolaki for letting us know about this
little side quest.
Head to the Portal to the Grand Hall in the south-east corner of
the map and speak with the Mind Flayer Venerator, tell him you must
speak with the Elder Brain. You can either choose to attack it (no
alignment penalty) or agree to take off the Helm of Shielding and give
it to the Venerator. After you make your decision head through the
portal to enter the Grand Hall. If you didn't attack the Venerator
then you will teleport directly to the Elder Brain, speak with it and
ask it to break the alliance with the Valsharess, it will ask you for
the Mirror of All-Seeing; give it to the brain and the alliance between
the Illithids and the Valsharess will be broken. You will be rewarded
7,500 XP for breaking the alliance.
If you decided to attack the Venerator then when you go through
the portal a cut scene will trigger, when it's over you will be
attacked by some Umber Hulks. The Elder Brain's chamber is in the
middle of the map. Explore the Grand Hall and kill a bunch of
Illithids and Umber Hulks, you'll spot numerous Control Panels all over
the place, they serve no purpose so just ignore them all, most of them
will make an Illithid appear if you interact with them. You'll wander
across locked doors, to open them just keep guessing the numbers you're
offered (there are only 4 to guess from so it's not like you'll never
figure out the correct reaponse). In the south-east is the Amplifier
Room, when you get near that room another cut scene will trigger. Slay
everything in the room and you'll notice the Illithid Mental Amplifier
in the corner, you'll also spot two Illithid Mechanisms. Interact with
the two Illithid Mechanisms (DO NOT DESTROY THEM!) to activate the
amplifier, and then destroy the Mental Amplifier via bashing or spells.
Go into the Elder Brain Chambers and you will teleport into a peacful
clearing. Speak with the Charming Young Woman and attempt to
disbelieve your surroundings (DO NOT choose the response "go with the
charming host," if you do then the credits will roll). Some enemies
will appear so slay them all and you'll teleport back into the Elder
Brain Chambers, speak with the brain and either kill it or negotiate
with it and give it the Mirror of All-Seeing. If you kill the brain
then you'll only be rewarded 2,000 XP, if you give it the mirror and
break the alliance you'll be rewarded 7,500 XP. Go back into the
Underdark region and head to the bridge in the west. *DO NOT* go back
to Lith My'athar before exploring the Beholder Caves. If you do then
the big battle against the Valsharess will begin and you're screwed as
far as exploring the caves and breaking the alliance the Beholders have
with her; not to mention the massive XP gained and the found items
you'll lose out on also.

<><><><><><><><><>
-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Beholders Allied With the Valsharess
----------------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: BEHOLDERS ALLIED WITH THE VALSHARESS ~
----------------------------------------------------
Head to the West in the Underdark region to be at a bridge and
interact with the Bridge Control, if you have the Pearl of Bashing from
the Slave Pens in Zorvak'Mur you'll be offered to insert it into the
panel, although doing this helps you in no way, it just gives you a web
address that I never bothered to visit. To cross this bridge you have
to figure out a mind boggling puzzle, this puzzle took me hours and
hours to figure out so be glad I'm here to tell you the solution.
First you should decipher the text, this requires high Lore so if that
skill is too low and you can't decipher the text then drink a Potion of
Lore. Read the description and it tells you that this bridge was put
in place by the Illithids to protect them from the Beholders, it also
tells you that the Illithid Merchants have information on how to cross
this bridge. I've tried to obtain this solution from the Illithid
Slave Merchant, and all of the other Illithids, with no success. If
you know how to obtain this solution please e-mail me so I can add it
to this guide, I will of course credit you for the information. This
puzzle drove me bonkers trying to solve, I could've easily looked up
the solution in someone elses posted walkthrough but I refuse to use
game guides for they take the fun and satisfaction out of figuring out
games on my own. Anyways, when you interact with the Bridge Control
choose to examine the buttons, then a puzzle board will appear in the
text window; to cross this bridge you must make the puzzleboard look
like this:
#############
# ! # <-- Row 1
# ! # <-- Row 2
# ! # <-- Row 3
# ! # <-- Row 4
#############
** Exact replica of puzzleboard **
To make the puzzleboard look like this follow these instructions
to the letter: first choose response number 2 and move Row 1 to the
right 4 times. Then choose response number 4 and move Row 2 to the
right 3 times. Then choose response number 6 and move Row 3 to the
right 1 time. Then choose response number 7 and move Row 4 to the left
1 time. And finally, choose to press the button and if all is good and
you didn't screw up then the four Source Lights will activate and the
bridge will appear. Head on across and enter the Chasm of the Eye
Tyrants.
Explore the chasm and you'll run into an Elf named Eldath Ra'Sin
who will speak with you, no matter the responses you choose Eldath and
some Drow will attack you. Kill them all, making sure you take the
Dragon Armor and Anduvir blade from Eldath's corpse, and enter the
Beholder Caves in the north-west.
>>> BEHOLDER CAVES
Your goal in here is to kill the Beholder leader, the Beholder Eye
Tyrant. A note on Beholders: they can turn your character into stone
and make you suffer from total spell failure so be careful and kill
them from a distance if you're able to; they also like to disappear
while you're fighting them and then reappear behind you. Explore this
strange cave and immediately go east, when you go through the first
door you'll run into a little Kobold named Attiz. Speak with it to
find out some information about the Eye Tyrant and Drow Emissary; Attiz
will ask you to free his friends and informs you of a strange obelisk
in the lower tunnels that can be used to destroy the Eye Tyrant. You
can kill Attiz if you want but why bother? You'll see numerous Kobold
Slaves throughout this cave who just run away from you when you try to
speak with them, their tongues have been removed so they can't speak
with you anyways. You'll wander across the Drow Emiisary and a bunch
of other Drow in a room in the north-east, kill them all and search the
Emissary's remains to find a letter addressed to the Beholders from the
Valsharess. In the top-center of the map is an entrance into a Hole,
take the Stone Slab out of the chest near the hole and read it, then
head on down into the hole.
>>> LOWER TUNNELS
Immediately upon entering these lower tunnels your character will
be encumbered and won't be able to cast any spells, OR USE ANY HEALING
POTIONS, or any potions for that matter! You can use Healing Kits so I
hope you have plenty of them; also the magical properties from your
weapon/armor/shields will be nil. Don't fully explore the tunnels yet,
immediately make your way to the west by following the thin tunnel,
don't go into any of the large rooms off of the tunnel or you'll be one
sorry mug let me assure you. This place is loaded with Sword and Dire
Spiders that are absolutely brutal and will constantly poison and
entangle your character. Things will be very slow going and REALLY
SUCK for the time being so just deal with it and drive on. Characters
with low HD, like Wizards wielding a Dagger, will suffer horribly down
here (especially without a henchman) so have patience and eventually
you'll prevail. If things get too bad then go back into Drearing's
Deep and buy a whole bunch of Healing Kits from the merchant and then
head back down here. Once you reach the door in the west you'll spot
an Ancient Mechanism next to it, interact with the mechanism and try to
decipher the symbols with your Lore or Spellcraft skills, if your Skill
Check succeeds some options will pop up. Choose the option "touch the
symbols in order of the Knock spell," then the door will open. If your
Skill Checks in Lore or Spellcraft fail you *CANNOT* bash this door
open. If you can't decipher the symbols then you'll have to get to the
Obelisk the long way around, and it's going to prove to be quite the
challenge since you'll be slaying all the creatures down here severely
disabled.
Once through the door you'll be in a large room with an obelisk in
it. Go to the obelisk and you'll spot rune plates surrounding 4 sides
of the obelisk in rows with a bunch of symbols on them. In each row
you can only interact with 3 rune plates, so in each row make the
symbols on the plates match the one that can't be interacted with.
When all of the symbols have been correctly matched the obelisk will
turn black; now you can cast spells and drink potions and everything is
back to normal. Take the Obelisk Core and then head into the large
room past the obelisk. A cut scene will trigger and a giant spider
called Bebilith will appear. Kill it and then head back to the upper
level. If you couldn't make your way through the door that required a
high Lore or Spellcraft skill and are fighting Bebilith disabled it
will prove to be a good fight. Bebilith has a powerful Knockdown and
Disarm attack and also has the ability to poison your character so be
careful and have tons of Healing Kits on hand. If you're having
difficulty trying to kill Bebilith disabled then don't engage in a dual
with it, just head straight for the obelisk and quickly disable it to
have everything go back to normal and you'll be able to slay Bebilith
with ease.
>>> DESTROYING THE EYE TYRANT
Once out of the lower tunnels go into the room directly below the
room with the hole and kill the Eye Tyrant along with a bunch of other
Beholders, you can use the Obleisk Core to injure the tyrant. I find
the core useless in this situation, you'll damage the Beholder leader
more by hitting it with your melee weapon or casting spells on it.
When the Eye Tyrant dies so did the allaince the Beholders had with the
Valsharess for you just killed them all. Search the small room below
this one with the Drow Chests in it and then head back into the Lith
My'athar Enviorns.

~ BATTLE WITH THE VALSHARESS'S ARMY ~
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
-- QUEST:
- Main Quest: Defeating the Valsharess
----------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: DEFEATING THE VALSHARESS ~
----------------------------------------
When all of the alliances the Valsharess previously had have been
broken head back into the Lith My'athar Enviorns, when you approach the
gates Seargent Osyyr will speak with you and you'll teleport to the
Temple of Lolth. Speak with The Seer and tell her that you will not
let harm come to her or her city, you will then teleport to a small
room with the evil wench you are to destroy. Speak with the Valsharess
(you can't attack her) to find out a lot of information. After the
enlightening conversation with this evil Drow is over you'll teleport
back to the Enviorns and be speaking with the Battle Herald, it will
inform you of the upcoming battle and tell you to direct the troops.
When the Herald is done speaking you'll notice a bunch of Drow and a
couple of Battle Golems standing around, speak with the men holding the
flags and tell them to take their posts to defend wherever you send
them. Speak with the Golems, I'd send them to guard The Seer if I were
you, just a suggestion, you can also direct a couple of Clerics to heal
two troop groups of your choice.
After you direct the troops to their posts speak with the Battle
Herald and tell it you're ready for battle, a cut scene will trigger of
the Valsharess's Army commencing their attack. There are a bunch of
Alchemist's Fire Barrels near the gates that can come in very handy if
you choose to use them. This battle can get quite frustrating at times
and you can easily become overwhelmed by all of the troops running
around, just have patience and fight strategically and you'll prevail,
eventually. You will not be able to rest during any portion of this
battle so use your spells wisely. When the evil army breaches the
outer gates start killing and bashing and hacking and casting and
slaying. *DO NOT* use spells with large areas of effect near the inner
gates leading into Lith My'athar or your allies will turn against you
and you'll be on the Valsharess's side. I don't know what happens if
you side with her as far as the game plot goes since I've never joined
with her.
Sooner or later the inevitable will happen and the army will break
through the inner gates and storm into Lith My'athar. When this
happens another cut scene will trigger and you'll teleport in front of
the temple with The Seer, the Battle Herald informs you that The Seer
must remain safe and no harm must come to her (no duuhh). When the cut
scene is over head to the city gates and kill all of the troops pouring
through. After you slay them all yet another annoying cut scene will
trigger of the army attacking from the docks. Go to the docks and kill
the Drow Wizard Captain and his band of idiots, this wave of troops is
a lot tougher than the previous ones. When they're all good and dead
speak with The Seer once again and then ANOTHER cut scene will trigger
of some Umber Hulks and Illithids attacking. What? Obviously they
renagged on their word to break their alliance with the Valsharess so
kill the lying freaks. The battle is now finally and officially over,
pat yourself on the back for triumphing over this not-so-easy task and
treat yourself to a cookie.
When the Illithids are dead what do you know? Another cut scene
will trigger (for a game series that lacked cut scenes we're obviously
being cut scened to death here) and you'll be in the Valsharess's
Fortress. If you're a spell caster you'll notice that all of your used
up spells are now restored. The Valsharess is surprisingly weak and
you will have no difficulty in taking her down. When she dies a big
demon named Mephistopheles will speak with you, when the conversation
ends he will kill you and you will advance to Chapter Three.

-- QUESTS:
- Main Quest: Escape from the Hells
- Side Quest: The Devil's Quarry
- Side Quest: The Scrivener
- Side Quest: A Lost Leader
- Main Quest: Five Fold Mysteries
- Main Quest: Pilgrims of the Sleeping Man
You will start this chapter off in a Gatehouse in one of the Nine
Hells, this place should look familiar to you 'cause this is where you
end up if you've died during the game and chose to respawn. Speak with
the Reaper and it will inform you that you are dead and can't return to
the world of mortals since you no longer have the Relic of the Reaper
in your possession. If you are to return to the land of the living you
must destroy Mephistopheles and learn the Reaper's true name. You can
ask the Reaper to summon forth your henchman if you choose.
Exit the Gatehouse through the door by the Pool of Lost Souls to
enter the City of Lost Souls. If you're character doesn't have Cold
Resistance you'll take minimal damage (1-2 HP) every ten seconds or so,
no big deal. Speak with the Worried Spirit ahead of you and you'll
aquire three quests in your Journal: A Lost Leader, The Scriviner and A
Spirit Devoured. Explore the City of Lost Souls and you'll spot
numerous map pins: a Cave in the north with the Scrivener in front of
it, the Carved Post "Elysium" just below the cave, the Carved Post
"Treason" in the center of the map, the Quarry Office just below the
treason post, a Temple in the north-west, the Carved Post "Infinity"
just below the Temple, the Carved Post "Dimension" in the south, the
Hellbreath Tavern in the south-west, the Carved Post "Coordinate" just
below the Tavern, and finally the Carved Post "Alternate" in the south-
east. You probably want to know where to purchase some goods so head
into the Quarry Office.
----------------------------------
~ SIDE QUEST: THE DEVIL'S QUARRY ~
~ SIDE QUEST: THE SCRIVENER ~
~ SIDE QUEST: A LOST LEADER ~
----------------------------------
>>> THE DEVIL'S QUARRY QUEST
In the Quarry Office speak with the big Balor Lord Gru'ul the
Quarry Boss and you'll get this quest added to your Journal. You'll
have an option to attack but if you choose it you won't be able to so
don't bother. In order to do buisness with Gru'ul you have to fix a
broken piece of machinery. Head down to the Ice Quarry on the other
side of the office.
You'll spot numerous Quarry Workers scattered about, head forwards
to spot the broken piece of machinery Quarry Griner #5 with a Lazy Imp
standing by it. Speak with the Lazy Imp and choose to wake it, then
choose to speak with it. Ask it if it knows the Reaper's true name and
you'll get your first clue to finding out its name, the quest Pilgrims
of the Sleeping Man will get added to your Journal. Apparently this
Sleeping Man just might know the Reaper's true name. You can either
feed the Imp through the grinder or free him; if you do feed him
through the grinder it will then be fixed. To free this Imp requires
high Dexterity so if your score is low then drink a potion of Cat's
Grace or cast the spell for it to raise your Dexterity. After freeing
the Imp you have to fix the grinder, this requires a high Intelligence
so if that score is too low then drink a potion of Fox's Cunning or
cast the spell for it to raise your Intelligence. When Quarry Grinder
#5 is repaired return to Gru'ul and inform him the machine is up and
running, now you'll be able to trade with Gru'ul and this quest will be
complete, you'll be rewarded 700 XP for fixing the grinder. This
ancient Balor sells some pretty decent equipment, make sure you buy 3
Velox Berries from Gru'ul, or just wander around the City of Lost Souls
and pick three Velox Berries from the Velox Nettle Plants scattered
about.
>>> THE SCRIVENER QUEST
Head to the cave and speak with the Scrivener standing in front of
it, you can't enter the cave yet. Scrivener informs you that in order
to gain access to the cave you first have to figure out a puzzle and
then the Scrivener will ask you to take him to some posts and will tag
along with you. First go to the Carved Post of "Treason," Interact
with the post and then speak to the Scrivener, your Journal will get
updated. Second, go to the Carved Post "Dimension," interact with the
post and speak with the Scrivener to get you Journal updated again.
Finally, go to the Carved Post "Infinity," interact with the post and
then speak with the Scrivener again and a cut scene will trigger of the
Scrivener doing something, speak with the Scrivener one last time and
send it on its way, you'll be rewarded 500 XP for completing the
Scrivener quest and learn information on the Lost Leader quest.
>>> A LOST LEADER QUEST
Now that the Scrivener is happy and its quest fulfilled, you can
now enter the cave the Scrivener was standing in front of. Explore the
cave and you'll wander upon a campfire pit and a block of ice with Lady
Aribeth frozen inside of it, no way. Looks like she hasn't had a very
pleasent stay in this stage of the Nine Hells since you sent her here
long ago. Interact with the campfire and choose to use 3 Velox Berries
to ignite a fire, this will thaw out the block of ice and Lady Aribeth
as well. She will immediately become hostile and attack you, when you
get her health down to near death she will surrender and speak with
you. You'll find out some information on Mephistopheles among other
things; try to help Aribeth restore her faith and the Lost Leader quest
will be completed, you'll be rewarded 500 XP. If you were successful
in restoring Aribeth's faith you'll also gain 10 alignment points
towards good and can hire Aribeth as your henchman if you wish.
_______________________________________________________________________
-----------------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: FIVE FOLD MYSTERIES ~
~ MAIN QUEST: PILGRIMS OF THE SLEEPING MAN ~
-----------------------------------------------
>>> FIVE FOLD MYSTERIES
Go into the Temple of the Sleeping Man in the north-west and speak
with Sensei Dharvana, the Five Fold Mysteries will go into your Journal
and she'll give you the answer to the first fold mystery; you'll also
learn more about this Sleeping Man and be rewarded 300 XP. After
Dharvana leaves read entries in the Tome she was standing at, the
entries give you the answer to the fourth fold mystery and you'll gain
500 XP.
Leave the Temple and head into the Ice Quarry, speak with a female
Quarry Worker in the south and tell her you seek the five fold
mysteries, she will then give you the answer to the second fold mystery
and you'll be rewarded 500 XP.
Head into the Gatehouse and speak with the Reaper, tell him you
seek the five fold mysteries, the Reaper gives you the answer to the
fifth fold mystery and you'll be rewarded another 500 XP.
Go near the Tavern to see Githzerai Berry Picker picking some Velox
Berries on the side of the tavern, speak with her and tell her you seek
the five fold mysteries, she will give you the answer to the final
mystery (third) and you will gain another 500 XP; you should know
plenty about the Sleeping Man by now.
Return to Sensei Dharvana in the Temple and recite the Sleeping
Man for her, just keep choosing the first responses and you'll
correctly recite it, you'll be rewarded 500 XP and the Sensei's Amulet
for completing this quest. The door in here is now unlocked and it
leads to the Sleeping Man, but you nee a trumpet to awaken him so let's
go get one.
>>> PILGRIMS OF THE SLEEPING MAN
Enter the Hellbreath Tavern and in the Smith room is Rizolvir's
Ghost, he sells items and can upgrade your weapons like he did in the
last chapter. Look for Arden Swift in here and speak with him, he has
the trumpet you seek. You can just outright kill him and take the
trumpet from his corpse witn no alignment penalty, but if you want to
earn this trumpet fair and square you'll have to play a card game with
him. Your Wisdom ability score needs to be really high for this game
so drink a potion of Owl's Wisdom or cast the spell for it, and equip
any Wisdom enhanceing items you may have in your inventory. Speak with
Arden and his quest will go into your Journal, ask him IN THIS ORDER:
"what's with the horns?," he'll then tell you about them; then tell him
"that chip in your horns must be pretty recent," he will then tell you
about how he got it; then ask him "what kind of tussle are we talking
about," he will then tell you it was a joke; then ask him "how do you
plan on waking the Sleeping Man?," he will then tell you about his
trumpet; then ask him "Can I borrow your Trumpet?" Arden will then
tell you he'll lend you the trumpet if you can guess a card in his
game. Ask him "what the rules are" and he will tell you that you can
ask five yes or no questions about the card and then try to guess what
the card is. Tell Arden "sounds easy, let's do it" and he will tell
you to up the ante. Place an item worth at least 5,000 gold onto the
card table and then speak with Arden again, say to mim "getting scared
old man? go ahead, pick a card," he will then draw a card and the
guessing game begins. I believe this game is totally random and you're
one lucky character if you win the trumpet through this process. If
you keep failing at the game then game just kill Arden and take the
Trumpet of Pandemonium from his corpse, much easier this way and you'll
gain 400 XP for whacking him.
Leave the tavern and on your way to the Temple of the Sleeping Man
peer into the Ice Crystal in the middle of the path to watch a cut
scene of Mephistopheles resurrecting an Undead Army. Go into the
Temple of the Sleeping Man and go into the room he's sleeping in,
interact with the body and choose to awaken him by using the Trumpet of
Pandimoneum; you'll be rewarded 1,000 XP for awakening him and
completing Arden Swift's quest. Sensei Dharvana will become hostile
and attack you for waking the Sleeping Man, kill her to be rewarded
another 700 XP. Speak with the Sleeping Man and he will give you some
information on the Archdevil quest and tells you about a puzzle ring,
ask to see the ring and an Astral Door will appear and you Journal will
get updated for the Escape from the Hells; you'll also complete the
Slleping Man quest and be rewarded another 1,000 XP. He also tells you
about his true love and among bunch of other things.
Go through the Astral Door by the Sleeping Man and you'll be in a
Subterrainian Vault. Head towards the three Essence Orbs on the far-
end of this vault and kill all of the Skeletal Minions that rise, when
they're all dead a big Walking Bone Mass Golem will rise so take it out
as well. You'll fight two more sets of these same enemies; when all of
the Skellies are disposed of interact with the three Essence Orbs and
take a piece of a broken ring out of each, they include H (hope), F
(faith) and L (love). In your inventory right-click on a piece of the
broken ring and select Use, then select the option "start with H," then
choose "attach F piece," then choose to "attach the L Piece," Now the
Puzzle Ring is fixed so equip it on your finger and the screen will
glow purple and you'll gain 300 XP. In-between the Essence Orbs you
can now see four treasure chests so searh them and then head back up to
the Temple.
You'll spot arrows on the floor of the temple, you will not see
them unless the Puzzle Ring is equipped. Follow the arrows out of the
Temple and then follow the arrow to the right and go through the Astral
Door you'll see to enter the Wastes of Cania.

Leave the Puzzle Ring equipped and follow the arrows and kill a
big beast, the Guardian of the Path. It will polymorph your character
into a Pixie so just deal with it for the time being and keep
attacking. Next you'll be polymorphed into a big Earth Elemental, much
better than a Pixie. Finally you'll be polymorphed into a Wolf. When
the Guardian of the Path finally dies, search its remains for a
Tattered Note and an Astral Blade +8; you can now use Sensei's Amulet
to polymorph your character into a Pixie, Earth Elemental or Wolf. Use
the amulet and polymorph into an Earth Elemental and smash through the
wall the guardian was guarding, you have to bash it several times, and
then head on through the entrance. If you want to polymorh back to
normal just right-click your character and select Unpolymorph.
>>> DEEPER WASTES OF CANIA
Still with the Puzzle Ring equipped keep following the arrows and
kill some Ice Trolls, they're pretty tough and put up a good duel if
you go melee with them. Explore the rest of the area, kill some more
Ice Trolls and you'll spot another Crystal, peer into it to see a
vision of Mephistopheles and his Army attacking Lith My'athar. You'll
spot numerous map pins, a Worg's Den in the south-west, a Planar Gate
in the south, and another Planar Gate in the middle of the map which is
blocked off for the time being. The arrows point to that Planar Gate
and you won't be able to access it for awhile.
Go to the Worg Den and kill all of the Worgs near it, when they're
all dead use the Sensei's Amulet and polymorph into a Wolf, then enter
the den through the hole in the ice blocking the entrance into the den,
look in the pile of bones to find a crappy random item. Head through
the Planar Gate in the south to enter the Mimic's Nest.
>>> THE MIMIC'S QUEST
Upon entering this place your Armor will be swallowed up by a
treasure chest and you won't be able to get it back for a minute, the
quest the Mimic will get added to your Journal. You'll see pillars
with electrical beams blocking the way, to get passed them will require
you to unequip and re-equip the Puzzle Ring quite a few times. You'll
spot the Mimic Treasure Chest on the right, it wants a gem. Keep
navigating your way through the pillars to the middle of the room and
you'll see four big blue swirls on the floor. Kill some Azer Gem
Miners and make sure you take the pile of Gems from one of their
remains. You'll spot levers inside of the blue swirls, two you can see
with the Puzzle Ring equipped and two you can see with the ring un-
equipped. Pull these four levers and the door blocking the way to the
Hall of Gems will get destroyed.
Head into the Hall of Gems and explore the hall, there are Gem
Machines in each corner and a Fire Conductor in the middle of this
giant hall. Wander around and pick up a bunch of Gem Piles, then drop
the Gem Piles by the Mimic, keep dropping Gem Piles and lure it into
the middle of the room to the Fire Conductor, make sure you kill every
rat you see or they'll steal the Gem Piles. When the Mimic is in the
middle of the Fire Conductor, pull the lever to destroy the Mimic and
then you'll get attacked by some beast named Gargamesh. Kill it and
look in the Mimic Chest and take your armor back, the Demonic Grappling
Hand will be in your inventory, you'll be rewarded 1,000 XP for
completing the Mimic Quest. Head through the Planar Gate near the Fire
Conductor to be back in the Deeper Cania Wasteland.
>>> PUZZLERS' SEPULCHER QUEST
>>> KILLING GUARDIAN NUMBER TWO
When you leave the Hall of Gems you'll be at the Planar Gate in
the middle of the map on the other side of the boulders. You'll be
standing above a river of lava, face the torch on the other side of the
river, go into your inventory and use the Demonic Grappling Hand and
you'll cross the lava; you have to be standing in the perfect spot and
it may take you several attempts. When safely across the lava kill
some more Ice Trolls and you'll notice a map pin for another Planar
Gate in the north-east, equip the Puzzle Ring to see some arrows
pointing at the Planar Gate, head on through and prepare for a good
battle in the Abandoned Entryway.
Well look who it is, it's Grimnaw. Standing by Grimnaw's side are
a few of his newfound companions and they are Maugrim, Crimson,
Balpheron and a demon called Koth Uth-Kulin. Speak with Grimnaw and at
some point he and his companions will become hostile and attack.
Balpheron is quite spell resistant, you'll have a good fight here so
have a lot of potions of Heal in your Quickbar. Grimnaw and his other
three companions aren't that hard to defeat so concentrate on taking
Balpheron down first. When everyone has fallen victim to your mighty
or infernal wrath search all the corpses to find a bunch of good items;
make sure you grab the Small Silver Key from Grimnaw's corpse. If you
have the puzzle ring equipped you'll spot a glowing barrel in the area,
look in the barrel to find a really good random item. The mouth of the
cave to the Fallen is blocked, go through the locked door in here (this
is what the key on Grimanw was for). You'll see some tracks in front
of a stack of crates, use Sensei's Amulet and polymorph into a Pixie
and fly through the small hole in the middle of the stack; pull the
lever on the other side of the crates and the mouth of the cave will be
opened. Fly back through the hole and go through the mouth of the cave
to the Fallen, which is actually the Puzzlers' Sepulcher.
A cut scene will trigger as soon as you enter this place, when its
over kill the Puzzler creatures attacking you. This end of the
sepulcher is a giant lava pit with a bunch of small islands; approach
the statue near the lava and interact with it to receive a clue about
lightning. Equip the Puzzle Ring and you'll spot an arrow near the
floor lever facing the lava, go pull the lever and you'll teleport to a
small island with another lever. Navigating the small islands is quite
simple, you'll see arrows frequently changing directions, just wait for
the arrow to point to the island you want to go to next and pull the
lever to teleport there. You'll teleport to three islands that have an
additional bigger lever, pull these bigger levers until they turn BLUE,
the color of lightning. After all three of the bigger levers are blue
keep teleporting from island to island and make your way to the other
side of the sepulcher. Once on the other side of the lava you'll see
three staues and a doorway blocked by electrical currents, you'll also
see a lever on top of a small bridge. Interact with the statues and
make the one in the middle face the doorway blocked by electricity,
then make the two statues on either side of it face the statue in the
middle. Pull the lever at the top of the bridge and the doorway will
no longer be blocked by electrical currents so head on through. You'll
see a moving arrow on the floor, wait for it to point at the door in
here and then go through it. Kill some more Puzzler things and then
head through the door in this room, follow the long corridor to some
lava hindering your progress; use the Demonic Graapling Hand and use it
on the chain across the lava and you'll pull yourself over there. Use
the Demonic Grappler a few more times to get across a few more lava
spots. When you're finally across the lava you'll spot another
Guardian of the Path. Kill this second guardian and you'll finish the
Puzzler quest and your Journal will get updated for the Archdevil
Guardians quest; you'll also gain a total of 700 XP. Head through the
portal near the now dead guardian to be teleported to the Knower of
Places.
>>> COMPLETING THE ARCHDEVIL'S GUARDIANS QUEST
Speak with the Knower of Places buttefly like creature and ask her
a bunch of questions and she will tell you to find her sister, the
Knower of Names. She also agrees to aid you in the finding of the
Reaper's true name and will enhance the Puzzle Ring with a special
power that will assist you in finding her sister. When you're finished
speaking with the Knower of Places step through the Astral Door behind
her to be in the Deepest Wates of Cania.
You are now back out in the cold so explore the area and kill some
more Ice Trolls and some powerful Frost Giants. Go into the Ice-Bound
Lair in the south-west and clear the lair out. Head back to the
surface and then equip the Puzzle Ring, follow the arrows to another
Crystal and then peer into it to see Mephistopheles and his evil army
attacking Waterdeep. Just past the crystal is the Frost Giant Fortress
so head on inside.
Upon entering the curtyard of this fortress another cut scene will
trigger, when it's over kill the Frost Giants and Balor Lords lurking
around. When the slaughter fest is over head to the Fortress Breach in
the south-east.
You are now on a Windswept Battlefield so wander around and kill
some more Balor Lords, Vrocks, Fire Imps, Succubus and other foul
creatures. You can use Sensei's Amulet to polymorph into an Earth
Elemental and pick up the dead tress and boulders to toss at the
enemies. Next to the Devil Encampment is some lava, stand at its edge
and use the Demonic Grappling Hand to pull yourself over the lava to be
in the Ice Prison. A bunch of Devil Warriors will rise out of the
frozen ground, when you kill them they will resurrect so just keep on
hacking; they all respawn about five times each. When all of the Devil
Warriors are disposed of, the third and final Guardian of the Path will
appear. Kill this freak of a beast and the Archdevil's Guardians quest
will be complete; you'll be rewarded nothing for completing that quest.
Equip the Puzzle Ring if you're not wearing it and follow the arrows to
more lava, use the grappling hand to cross it and follow the path to a
catapault. Polymorph into an Earth Elemental and pick up the catapault
and lauch it into to the Ice Prison. Go back into the prison and use
the catapault on all of the frozen blocks of ice imbedded in the ground
to free some prisoners; in most of these frozen pods are demons so just
kill them when they rise out of their icey cells. In one of these
cells is the Knower of Names so speak with her after she's been freed.
>>> ESCAPING THE HELLS
The Knower of Names will give you the Reaper's true name so you
can escape this plane of the Nine Hells and return to the land of
mortals. To learn his true name will require you to give the Knower of
Nmaes the Puzzle Ring and the Sensei's Amulet, since they're now
useless make the trade. You can also find out a lot of other peoples
true names, but they all cost A LOT of gold to learn. You can purchase
Deekin's name for 200,000 gold; Aribeth's name for 200,000 gold;
Sleeping Man's name for 100,000 gold; Sleeping Man's True Love name for
300,000 gold; Gru'uls name for 100,000 gold; Arden Swift's name for
100,000 gold; Knower of Names name for 100,000 gold; Valen's name for
100,000 gold; and finally Mephistopheles name for 500,000 gold (but to
learn his name you must know the Knower of Names true name). I'm not
going to bother letting you know what you'll learn by knowing people
and things true name, experiment and figure this part out on your own.
Now that you know the Reapr's true name ask the Knower of Names if
she can teleport you back to the City of Lost Souls. Speak once again
with the Sleeping Man and then return to the Gatehouse. Speak with the
Reaper and say his true name to him, he will then summon forth a Planar
Gate. Tell him to let the Pilgrims go home and your Journal will get
updated; you'll be rewarded a total of 1,700 XP. Head through the
Planar Gate for the final battle which will take place in Waterdeep.
_______________________________________________________________________
<><><><><><><><><><> CHP3-3
~ THE FINAL BATTLE ~
<><><><><><><><><><>
-- MAIN QUEST: Destroying Mephistopheles
-----------------------------------------
~ MAIN QUEST: DESTROYING MEPHISTOPHELES ~
-----------------------------------------
Once through the Planar Gate yet another cut scene will trigger of
Waterdeep under attack by the Undead Army of Mephistopheles, when it's
over you'll be speaking with Durnan. When the conversation is over it
will begin to rain blood and Mephistopheles will appear (if you know
his true name then you'll speak with him). If you know his true name
then just tell him his name and you won't even have to fight him. If
you have any henchman with you then this evil demon will try to turn
them against you; if this happens then just use their true name (if
you've purchased it) or use your Persuasion skills to foil
Mephistopheles's plan. If you fight Mephistopheles it's a very
difficult battle, not nearly as easy as the final bosses in the
previous two campaigns were. After you damage Mephistopheles a little
he will turn the area into ice and teleport to a different area. Kill
some Ice Beasts and when they're all dead the ice will disappear and
Mephistopheles will come back to play. This time you'll be fighting
him until his health gets down to badly wounded; when it does he will
fly out of the area and cover it in lava and summon some Lava Beasts.
Kill the Lava Beasts and then Mephistopheles will come back down for
the final showdown. When you beat this bastard of a beast down to near
death he will surrender (what a wussy of a Demon). Speak with this
self-proclaimed Duke of Hell and then either tell him what a bad, bad,
Demon he's been and send him on his way or kill him. After your
deciscion the final cut scene of the game will trigger, which can be a
few different ones due to your actions throughout the game. The
credits will roll and you'll be the greatest hero in all of Waterdeep.
Congrats on your victory.

have found some secrets you would like to share with the NWN gaming
community? If so, then e-mail me and let me know so I can add them to
my guide, I will of course credit you for any information you provide
that I use in this guide. Please do not send me cheats and hacks

them in my personal journeys.

* 22) CREDITS, E-MAIL RULES AND LEGAL STUFF *
---------------------------------------------
>>> CREDITS <<<
- BioWare Corporation for creating the best RPG video games ever
- Atari for publishing these instant classics
- Wizards of the Coast (they own D & D)
>>> CONTRIBUTOR CREDITS <<<
- Evi Apostolaki for letting me know about the Thrall Revolt quest in
Zorvak'Mur.
-----
>>> E-MAIL RULES <<<
My address: [email protected]
- DO NOT SOLICITE! I don't care what your product is all about or
how cheap you're selling it, I don't want it!
- NO CHAIN E-MAIL LETTERS! I will not send them on and if I go
bankrupt, get a horrible disesase, an anvil drops on my head, I die,
blah, blah, blah, because I don't send the letter on, oh well. I'm
not a superstitious fool.
- NO FAN CLUB STUFF! I don't care what your little club is all
about, I will not join. This includes D&D fanclubs since I don't play
the actual board/roleplay game and don't ever plan to.
- NO MONEY MAKING SCHEMES! That means you EXCEL (not Microsoft
affiliated for all of you who don't know about this scam artist
company Excel) and all of you other scam artists out there. Earn $500
a week by simply mailing letters (that you have to pay postage on)
from the comfort of your living room...yeah right!
- NO JUNK MAIL! If you write a crappy newsletter, send me political
jargon asking for money instead of my vote (the nerve of these
people), ask me to join some pathetic singles website for only $59.00
a month (that means YOU E-Harmony), send me offers for fake medication
(like someone my age needs Viagra), send me celebrity news that 90% of
the U.S. doesn't care about (get a life for those of you who do), or
just feel like sending out trash to me DO NOT FEEL FREE TO DO SO! If
you do then I'll give you a virus. How does that appeal to your
server?
- If the answer to your e-mail is in this guide you will most
likely not get a response from me. I know this guide is really long
but do your research and look for the answer before you decide to e-
mail a question that has been clearly answered. For example, if you
want to know how a certain spell works then look up that spells
description in the Spells section of this guide, or better yet read
the complete spell description and its effects in the game. Also keep
in mind that some websites aren't able to keep up with the latest
versions of my guide and your question may be answered in my latest
update. You can ALWAYS find the latest version of my guide(s) at
www.gamefaqs.com.
- As long as we're talking about e-mail I'll most likely ignore,
please write ledgible e-mail without all these modern day acronyms all
you tennie boppers, and adults who still think you are, IM and text
eachother with. I'm old school and aren't hip to all their meanings.
- If you've found an item, weapon, or suit of armor not listed in
the appropriate section way above, please "print screen" of the specs
and e-mail them to me so I can add them to this guide. To print the
screen, examine the item and press the "prt scr" key (located to the
left on the number pad, sysrq should be on the same key); open up Word
Pad or Note Pad and right click; then click Paste - this will paste
the game screen into word or note pad. Simply attach the Word Pad or
Note Pad document to your e-mail and send it to me. Make sure you get
the full specs if you do this, I don't really care about the items
description, I just want to know what it does. This may seem like a
pain in the neck but if you don't send the specs then I will *NOT* add
the item, weapon, or whatever to this guide. Being an experienced FAQ
writer I learned long ago not to just take peoples word for it,
especially for a game like this. I will of course credit you for the
find. If you want your e-mail address posted with any items you send
me then you must specifically state that you want your e-mail address
posted, otherwise I'll just post your user name when I credit you for
the find(s). As long as we're on this subjet, if you send me cetain
rituals that can be performed throughout the campaign(s), and don't
see them added in my guide immediately, this means I'm doing research
on this "ritual" or whatever because again, I don't just take peoples
word for it and refuse to add unconfirmed things to my guide. When
I'm satisfied that the ritual or whatever does in fact work, then I'll
add it to my guide, with all the credit to you of course.
- DO NOT send me cheats and hacks to add to this guide because I
REFUSE to put them in, or even try them for that matter, so don't
waste your time.
- I don't care what kind of language you use just don't swear
directly at me. I'm here to help you out, not to take verbal abuse
from you because you have no gaming skills and can't prevail over a
tough battle or have the common sense to figure out the many puzzles
in the game that I describe in the most comprehensive and laymen of
terms.
- And another thing: I KNOW THERE ARE TYPOS in this guide. I typed
it in word pad and if you knew anything at all then you should know
that word pad doesn't have spell check, plus I'm only human and thus
not perfect. When you type in a million plus characters you're bound
to make some typos. It's amazing all these anal retentive yuppies out
there who e-mail me and make a big deal because I didn't use proper
puncuation and grammer or spelled a word wrong. Let me see you people
do a better job of writing a game guide. Thought so. Maybe someday
I'll notice the typos and fix them, then again maybe I won't just to
irritate you. To an anal retentive, a typo is like Fran Dreshers
laugh.
- NO PORN! Some degenerate porn companies must have gotten my e-
mail address from my posted guides because I literally receive
HUNDREDS of porn offers a week and I'm getting really sick of it. If
you low-lifes keep on sending me this stuff then I will hack into your
server and drop the worst virus known to computers into it so stop
bothering me. Your anti-virus software doesn't have jack on me for
this virus will whipe out your entire operation and I know you
deviants don't want that to happen. If you happen to get up and
running after my mega virus I'll just drop in another modified one.
This process will be repeated until you're reduced to selling yourself
in an alley on the side of a bar just to make ends meet until you
crawl out of the deep bankruptcy hole you'll find yourself squatting
in. I'm almost to the point of filing a lawsuit against you scumbags
for harassment so stop sending me this crap. I don't mean to sound so
ignorant here but this is the only language these kind of pukes
understand and I'm holding back what I really want to say because I
don't want to offend people, if this were an M rated game then it
would be a different story; since this is a T rated game I have to
refrain because I know children and young adults are reading this
guide. And no, I'm not one of those anti-porn yuppies. Everyone has
their breaking point and these jerks lobbed a brick through my plate
glass window
