This is mostly a sequential walkthrough, which means that it will go in
the order that I think is a good one (not necessarily the best way to do
things, but one that worked well for me). Since a lot of elements in
Baldur's Gate can be done at any time, this presents a few problems. So
currently I have all the Major Plot points listed as Main Sections, with the
smaller areas as Sub-Sections. This works, but I'm not sure that it is the
best way to go about this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i. Introduction [IINTRD]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strange things are happening in the Sword Coast. The iron has gone bad,
every weapon forged with it is completely worthless. Bandits plague the
Coast stealing everything else that already isn't ruined. And people are
muttering that it is all the work of an outside interest bent on domination.
Some say that it is the Zhentarim, some say that it is the Amnish, although
they have troubles of their own.
Amidst all of this you have grown up in seclusion in the Candlekeep fortress,
a keep of knowledge. You have never known your parents, instead you were
raised by the Sage Gorion. You might have remained in this sheltered life
forever, had not fate played its hand. Because of the growing threat of evil
in the world, Gorion feels compelled to remove you from Candlekeep, and take
you to another hiding place where he will "explain everything".
And so it began...
Baldur's Gate is the latest in a long string of games set in the Forgotten
Realms. The game uses (for the most part) the AD&D rules to set the
gameplay. It also endeavors to create the sense that you are on an AD&D
quest yourself, and not just playing the game, but rather are in the game.
I orignally omitted information that I felt duplicated entries found in the
game manual. Since most people buying the game now won't get a manual, I
am attempting to add in more of this information.
Some jargon...
PC = Player Character
NPC = Non-Player Character, everyone who isn't you
BG = Baldur's Gate
TotSC = Tales of the Sword Coast
"Force-Talk" is when you initiate dialogue rather than wait for a character
to speak to you. When the person is in your party, you have to use
the button on the toolbar (default key: F1) to do so.
"Force-Attack" is when you attack a non-hostile NPC or creature. This is
done with the button on the toolbar (default key: F2) or by clicking
on your equipped weapon on the toolbar, then clicking the NPC /
creature.
x,y = I use a coordinate system in the walkthrough. It is listed in pixels
on the terrain map. x 0, y 0 is the very top left. So, x 1000, y 1000
is 1000 pixels to the "east" (or right) and 1000 pixels to the south
(or down). You can find the coordinates by pressing the L key. This
will tell you what the x,y values are at your mouse.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii. The Modern Baldur's Gate Installation [ITWKNG]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section covers both unofficial patches, and even more unofficial
"tweaks." It has been a long, long time since Bioware has released anything
official for BG1. Which has left the door wide open for some fan
modifications (mods)!
There are three general categories of mods:
1. Unofficial patches. This merely tries to fix what was broken before.
Maybe a quest was bugged, or an item didn't work the way its description
was written. But the patch keeps things basically as the developers
intended.
2. Gameplay tweaks and restorations. In the second category, something is
altered. The best example of this is the Baldur's Gate II tweak that
restores the Grandmastery specialization perk to how it was in Baldur's
Gate I.
3. New content. And finally, there is new content. Could be new monsters,
a new quest, some new travelling buddies, or even a new talking sword.
You can find a great assortment of all of these here:
http://modlist.pocketplane.net/
And a lot of new content mods here:
http://www.spellholdstudios.net/
I have long enjoyed the Baldurdash unofficial patch for Baldur's Gate (as
well as his later work on Oblivion). Further work has been done on the
tweak front, and I'm currently using the BG1 Tweak pack from Gibberlings 3.
http://www.gibberlings3.net/
A Modern Installation:
----------------------
So, when I was installing BG on my new computer, I knew for sure that I
didn't want to play in 640x480. My current monitor is widescreen, for
starters, and native in 1680x1050. Now, the Baldur's Gate II engine has
support for 800x600 and “support” for even higher resolutions than that.
Essentially what we are going to be doing is playing Baldur's Gate I in the
Baldur's Gate II engine. So, obviously both games must be installed for any
of this to work.
What we are using today is called Baldur's Gate Trilogy (WeiDU version).
Instead of creating a new BG1 game that uses the BG2 engine, BGT
adds the BG1 data to BG2. That means you start a new game in Candlekeep
and play continuously through all of BG1, BG2 and into Throne of Bhaal.
This eliminates the need to transfer your character. You can find "BGT" at
the Spellhold Studios link above.
Also from pocketplane I grab the BG1 Unfinished Business tweak pack. This
restores some of the “cut content” that Bioware had worked on but removed
before release.
Then from Gibberlings 3, I install the BG1 Tweak pack, the Widescreen
mod, eScript (for updated AI behavior for my companions), and the BG1 NPC
Project (for vastly better companion interactions), and the Oversight mod.
With the Widescreen mod, I can set my game resolution to whatever I want,
so I first tried full-screen at 1680x1050! I found that made my characters
too small on the screen, so I changed it to 1280x800.
I mostly went for things from the bugfix and tweak categories, leaving out
many mods that add new content.
The installation has a few minor quirks, so here is the installation order
that I used:
1. Install BG1 & TotSC
Note: To avoid any problems with Windows, I always install in a non-
standard place, such as C:\games\Baldur's Gate\
2. Patch TotSC
3. Install BG2 & ToB
4. Patch ToB
5. Install Oversight
6. Install BG2 Fixpack (MUST be installed before BGT)
7. Install Ascension (MUST be installed before BGT)
8. Install Turnabout
9. Install BGT
10. Install bg1npc
11. Install BG1UB
12. Install Unfinished Business
13. Install BG2 Tweaks (do not install faster cutscenes and dreams)
14. Install Widescreen
Note: Both Baldur's Gate Trilogy and TuTu have a rather nasty bug
when you leave Beregost. On occasion it will crash your game and
corrupt your save-game. It is vital that you create a save before you
enter Beregost (I just keep one, and call it “Pre-Beregost Save”),
and another test save for when you leave Beregost (“Post-Beregost
Save”). Once you have left Beregost and saved it, immediately reload
that save. If it loads then congratulations you didn't get the bug!
When you have finished BG1 using Trilogy, you just talk to Duke Eltan again
and he sends you on a mission that starts BG2.
Baldur's Gate TuTu (EasyTutu)
-----------------------------
Alternatively there is “EasyTutu”. From the pocketplane link above, this
program melds together the Baldur's Gate 1 data with the Baldur's Gate 2
engine. This gets you the advanced classes, kits, spells, etc. from the
sequel, right within the first game. Requires both games installed on
your computer already. EasyTutu already includes the unofficial patches.
It still creates a separate game program from Baldur's Gate II. So once
you are done playing in Baldur's Gate I, you still export your game to
Baldur's Gate II as normal.
Note: If you want to use “3d accelerating” you will want to install the
green water fix immediately after installing EasyTutu.
The Big Picture
---------------
Found at Spellhold Studios, TBP is designed around BGT and getting every
mod included and compatible. It adds a lot of new, fan-created content.
Note: If you use either Tutu or BGT, you will need to use the x key to find
the x,y coordinates instead of the L key.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iii. Creating a Character [IIICRT]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating a Character is the most important thing that you do in the game.
Period. This has an effect on everything else in the game. If you do it
well, you will succeed and easily, if you do it poorly, you will have a much
harder time of it, and possibly even fail.
So let's run down the basics of creating a character:
Gender: This doesn't matter, except as a personal choice.
Race: I usually take a Human here as they are good all around. It should
be noted that there are considerable benefits to taking other races,
such as Elves getting a bonus to Dexterity (a Max of 19) and Dwarves
getting a bonus to Constitution (a Max of 19), but they also have
drawbacks; such as Elves having a Max Constituion of 17 and Dwarves
having a Max Dexterity of 17.
Also if you want to be a Multi-Class character, you should probably
take Half-Elf. Personally, I would avoid Multi-Class characters, as
they take longer to level up, and are usually weaker to start with.
So, I'd take a human.
Class: Here, I'd take Fighter. They level up well, and have good all
around fighting abilities. If you take a Ranger or a Paladin, you
get a couple bonus abilities, but it takes longer to level up,
which just isn't worth it to me. And since you get Special
Abilities anyway (see General Strategies below), you don't really
need to be a Cleric. Imoen is a good thief, and she pretty much
starts with you, so you don't need to be a thief.
So, I'd be a Fighter.
Note: Even if you start out as a Fighter, as long as you are
human, you don't have to stay a fighter! You can "dual
class" and pick up some other skills. Once you are level
2 you click on "dual class", pick a new class and you will
then switch over. Once your new class level is higher than
your old class level, you regain your old skills as well.
Alignment: Go with Lawful Good. This starts your reputation at 12, and
reputation is a good thing to have in abundance. (it makes
items purchased in shops cheaper) You can find your reputation
in your character record screen (default key: R).
Alternatively, you could go with an evil party, but keep the
reputation above 6 or the guards will start to attack you
wherever you go. You can also run an evil party at high
reputations, but if you go past 18 rep, evil companions will
hit the road. Conversely, at very low reputations (2 or below)
good companions will leave you.
Abilities: This is the most important part of character creation! You
have to try to get the best stats that you can possibly get,
and the only way to do that is to re-roll constantly. How good
your stats get mostly depends on how patient you are in
re-rolling. You can customize your stats, if you want. Simply
decrease the amount in one stat, and use those points to
increase another stat.
First, decide what you want your main character to do. Front-
line fighter or backline ranged. You will get a party of 6
(5 others and yourself) eventually, and for balance, you will
want at least 3 up front and 3 in the back. Since I think there
are very good NPC archers already, and not as good options at
front-line, I play a melee fighter.
If you are a fighter here are some recommended minimum stats to
try for:
STR: 18/51 -- affects melee ability to hit and damage
DEX: 11* -- affects armor class, and ranged hit & damage
CON: 18** -- affects HP
INT: 10 -- used for spells and lore (mage)
WIS: 10 -- used for spells and lore (cleric, druid)
CHA: 18 -- affects quest rewards and store prices
* DEX can be low because of the Gauntlets of Dexterity, see
General Strategies below. However, this uses your bracers
slot so you wouldn't be able to use the Gauntlets of
Weapon Focus / Specialization. You can also try dropping
INT and WIS more to boost DEX.
** CON adds a certain amount of HP per level gained. If you
gain enough CON you will not only gain more HP next level,
but you will also gain all the HP you would have gained
retroactively as well. e.g. I'm level 5 and use the manual
of bodily health to increase my CON from 18 to 19. I
instantly gain 5 HP. You cannot use a potion on level up
to trick the game into giving you more HP, once the potion
wears off, the HP are lost.
A Fighter who doesn't want to use the Gauntlets of Dexterity
might look like this:
STR: 18/00***
DEX: 18
CON: 18
INT: 7
WIS: 8
CHA: 9 (18 if you can get it)
*** The strength score comes in many flavors of "18." Non-
fighters will cap at just 18. Then there are the 18/01
to 18/00 scores. Think of 18/00 as 18 and 100, as it is
the highest, and 18/01 is the lowest.
Make sure not to neglect Charisma! It's more important than
you might think (stores sell things cheaper, and people may
treat you better). Of course, you can just cast Friends on
yourself to become more... Charismatic. If you don't care
about that, just give yourself max Dex and drop Charisma.
That's why they call it a "dump stat."
Once set, your stats will remain the same throughout the
entire game.
Tip: There are several books in the game that raise your
attributes. The physical books are called Manuals (like
the Manual of Bodily Health that raises CON by +1), and
the mental books are called Tomes. These are the only
ways to increase your stats. If you are going to export
your character to BG2, you should use the books only on
yourself.
If you aren't a Fighter, then drop STR and improve the stat
most associated with your ability. INT for mages, WIS for
clerics and druids, DEX for thieves and archers (rangers).
Skills: These are your proficiency points. Think of it as which weapons
your character is skilled in. Based on which class you are, set
two points to that characters likely primary weapon:
Fighter, Paladin -- Large Sword
Thief -- Small Sword
Ranger -- Bow
Mage -- Missile Weapons (for slings)
Then give the other points to either Bow or Missile Weapons.
Note: If you are a Ranger, then you also have to select your
Racial Enemy here. I'd take Spider, as they seem to be
most prolific.
Appearance: Whatever you think looks good.
Name: Whatever you think sounds good. Check out Appendix D. Guide to
Naming Characters if you need some ideas.
Tip: Still lost about what all these numbers and stats mean? Try out my
AD&D Rules FAQ, also found at www.gamefaqs.com.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iv. Items [IVTMSS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Prices are all based on an average reputation, where they neither give
you the "Hero's Discount" or the "Villain's Markup". These prices were
also based on a "Super Charisma", that is, two over 18. To get a Super
Charisma start by having 18, and then wear Algernon's Cloak. And if you
find a Tome of Leadership and Influence (Charisma +1), you can get up to
21 Charisma. The worse your Charisma, the higher these prices will be!
Note: Prices are also dependent on supply. If a store already has an item that
you are selling, they will give you a lesser price than they would if it
was the first of that item that they saw. So, if you have 3 Plate Mails,
sell them all at once to maximize the profit. The exception to this are
gems, which keep their value.
Note: Mage Scrolls are listed in section iv. Spells, wheras Cleric Scrolls are
listed here. (this is because you can Write Magic from a Mage Scroll but
cannot from a Cleric)
Note: Although Inns are open 24 hours a day, many shops close during the
night.
Note: Your alignment affects how expensive Raise Dead is going to cost for
you, depending on the temple that you are in. If you are an Evil
character in a Good Temple, it will be quite expensive (10000 gp).
_____
Shops (a * indicates that this item is only found in the Expansion Pack)

Wands
¯¯¯¯¯
Wands last for 20 uses, and then fizzle away. Although no way exists to
directly check how many charges are left in a wand, you can try to sell
it at a shop. The more the shopkeeper will pay, the more charges you have
left. You can also use the shopkeeper to recharge the wand, simply sell it
to him, and then buy it back. The cost of the wand is dependent on the
number of charges left, so this is a situation where you sell low and buy
high.

I've listed the selling prices here so that you can prioritize what to keep
and what to toss if your inventory gets too cluttered. Never keep anything
silver, they are far too common and almost worthless. Unless you get a
quest for a gem, just sell them. You can't make items out of gems, or
upgrade items.

Ankheg Shells -- can be made into an armor (AC 1), which costs 4000gp
(Thunderhammer Smithy, Beregost). Or you could sell them for 500gp.
Note: You can only sell shells once! After that you can't even get him
to make you an armor! Sell the shells one at a time (by dropping
the others) to get 500GP each. You can even go back and get some
more but Thunderhammer will stop buying shells and refuse to make
the armor 10 days after he first offered to buy the shells or as
soon as you get him to make the armor. (info from Duncan Clay)
Tip: There are 9 shells in the Akheg nest, turn up with these and the
armor won't cost you anything.
Wyvern Heads -- give the first to Keldath Ormlyr (priest at temple) for
2000 gp, then sell any others to Thalantyr (mage at high hedge, or
elsewhere) for 500 gp each, and drops down to 200 gp. Officer Vai will
buy heads for 1000 gp each, however this lasts only as long as she is
still in Beregost.
Winter Wolf Pelts -- sell these in the shop in Nashkel for 500gp each, no
limit to how many you can sell. You can also sell these to Officer Vai
(at least as long as she is accepting Scalps) After she has gone you can
sell them at Feldpost Inn for 25GP which will drop to 10GP.

vi. Companions [VINPCS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless it is otherwise mentioned, any NPC you say "no" to (or remove later)
will stay put wherever you put them. To see the X,Y coordinate of where you
are, press "L". The top left of any map is (x 0 y 0). (If you are using Tutu
or Baldur's Gate Trilogy, use the X key to find the coordinates)
Special Abilities are those abilities that that character intrinsicly has.
Some of them they have before they join you, others they gain later.
Note: If you turn both Khalid and Jaheira down in the FAI, you can't ever get
them to join.
Pairs: (you can't have one without the other)
Khalid -- Jaheira
Xzar -- Montaron
Minsc -- Dynaheir
Eldoth -- Skie
Note: To get one of these in the pair without the other, simply send the
other person into a building (the person you want to get rid of), and
then reform the party to kick them out. This way they can't come up to
you and talk to you.
Here's the party I like:
You -- as a Lawful Good Fighter
Kivan -- give him a Composite Long Bow +1, or the Long Bow of
Marksmanship, and the Bracers of Archery; and you have a really
effective sniper.
Minsc -- a very good warrior, and amusing too!
Dynaheir -- a good mage, plus if you get her at the right level, she starts
with Fireball. Edwin is a better mage (higher Int, and better
special ability), however, he is Evil which complicates things.
Viconia -- or sub in Branwen if you don't want to worry about your rep.
Imoen -- you need a thief, and you start with her. If you want a better
archer, sub in Coran. Alternatively, you can dual-class Imoen to
mage around level 5 or 6, drop Dynaheir and pick up Coran that
way.
And here are some interesting party combinations:
Have Minsc, Dynaheir and Edwin in the same party. Since Edwin wants to kill
Dynaheir, Minsc gets all surly and protective.
Viconia and Kivan have a love-hate relationship, and also Viconia is very
dimissive about Xan.
Put Yeslick and Kagain together to see just how different two Dwarves can be.
Yeslick DESPISES Kagain.
Safana and Coran. Coran will flirt shamelessly with Safana, and she will
rebuff his every attempt, quite humorously.
Quayle and Tiax. These two really don't like each other. Plus they're
fairly amusing on their own.
Faldorn and Jaheira don't like each other either, as they belong to opposing
druidic groups.
Put Eldoth, Skie, and Garrick together for a wild Love Triangle. Heh.
And now the BIG LIST of every NPC complete with a description, and where they
are. This list is sorted by alignment, Good first, then Neutral, then Evil
last.

NPC Resetting: (from Sergio D. Morozov,
[email protected])
--------------
Anywhere in the game. I have encountered the following feature during
playing:
* IF party recruits an NPC
* AND does not get sufficient XP after that
* AND leaves that NPC somewhere
* AND does not visit that place for some time
* AND gets sufficient XP during absence from the area in which NPC was left
* THEN that NPC may (or may not) “refresh” to one of the predefined .cre
entities (of higher level than NPC was when left alone), thus robbing
the party of any items left on him/her and giving default items instead.
NPCs dialogue will also be reset or moved to some unpredictable point
during this (Such as Kivan will accuse you of not helping him find Bandit
Camp even if you never spoke about “Camp”, only of “Bandits”).
I have experienced this with Kivan left in Nashkel and Khalid left in Nashkel
Barracks (Khalid robbed me of Short Sword +1 which he stole from a chest in
that very place before retirement.) Also if party turns Branwen from stone to
flesh, but does not speak to her, next time she might be petrified again
(possibly went to find Tranzig on her own and succeeded, he-he-he).
Of course this may not be considered a bug, because NPCs must not stay put
and may adventure, and get XP, and sell items, and spend GP on their own. But
this is a nasty “realistic” feature, which should be taken into
consideration.
Also I had Montaron and Xzar staying in Beregost for a LONG time and they did
not change levels or equipment, although my party received six levels while
they (M & X) enjoyed Beregost's luxury.

vii. Basic Strategies [VIIGNR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
___________________________________
Play as Multiplayer, even if Alone:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It is quite beneficial to play every game as a multiplayer (although it does
create a bit of a hassle). It gives you the benefit of being able to create
all 6 players in your party rather than depending on NPC's, and you can also
Export and Import characters in and out at any time. To create a Multiplayer
game just click the Multi Player button. At the next menu click "Connect".
Now you have to set the type of Multi Player (the top button), using Serial
is fairly easy (although it requires that you have some Networking
installed...) Now click "Create Game" (whenever you are playing by yourself
in the Multiplayer always use "Create Game", never use "Join Game"!). Name
the session to whatever you want, and enter in your own name. Finally click
"New Game". Now you can create as many characters as you want. Then once
they are all created, click the little skull icon by each created characters,
and then click the "Done" button. Voila!
Note: Another good effect of playing in the Multiplayer is that you can look
at your inventory while paused!
________________________
Charisma is your friend:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
So what does Charisma really get you? Well if you have a low charisma you
may not be able to get NPC's to join you, if you pass a quest, the treasure
may not be as good as it normally would be, (or there may be no treasure at
all!) and shops WILL charge you more. So don't skimp out on the charisma.
__________________________
Low Dexterity, Not So Bad?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If your stats just aren't turning out so good, consider skimping on
Dexterity. Why? There are Gaunlets of Dexterity out there that bring you up
to a full 18! Don't skimp out too much since as you still have to fight to
get those gauntlets. You can find the Gauntlets at the entrance to the
Gnollish Stronghold (see the Nashkel and Gnollish Stronghold sections for
more information). And if you skimp out on a LOT of Dexterity you will want
to get down there as soon as possible! The downside of this strategy is if
you find a Book that increases your Dexterity, it will increase your old
Dexterity. So if you had a 3 before, and an 18 with the Gauntlets, you'll
get a 4 base and still have 18.
On the other hand...
Don't skimp out on dexterity since it gives two things: First, a character
with a high dexterity starts with a lower AC (which is better). The extra
points of AC that early in the game are very helpful. Second, you burn your
gauntlets slot on your character which you can use to wear the Gauntlets of
Weapon Specialization which gives a bonus to hit and damage.
Note: Contrary to what most people believe, DEX has no effect on your melee
ability to hit. It only affects AC, thieving skills and ranged attacks.

Duncan Clay's Party Recruitment Strategy
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Straight away I recommend recruiting anyone you bump in to until your
group reaches six members as this keeps your XP low! - Yes, low! You
should try and pick up all your party members before you have more than
1000XP (don't kill anything unless absolutely necessary). This allows
you to shape their development (particularly thieves and fighters) but
rules out any NPCs you can't meet until after Cloakwood.
My party is made up of
2 tough fighters for the front lines
2 archers for support
2 thieves - 1 to specialise in traps and locks and 1 for pickpocket
(stealth is done with clothing)
1 cleric for first aid
1 mage to use all those scrolls
1 charismatic person with Algernon's Cloak for group leader
That's 9 people, so how is it done.
Me - Fighter
Khalid - Fighter (no choice since he is the only non-evil fighter you
can give 5 proficiency points to)
Kivan - Stealthy Archer
Branwen - Cleric (because you can get her early)
Safana - Charismatic Thief and Archer (since thieves have high DEX it
makes them good archers)
Imoen - Thief
So where's the Mage? Well there are no NPC Mages, only specialist
mages.
This is the clever bit. There are only two NPCs in the whole game that
can Dual-Class, Imoen and Shar-Teel.
( Dual-Class reminder )
( You must be human and not a Paladin or Bard )
( You must have 15 in you first class and 17 in your second class )
Most people say Imoen is rubbish because she has a strength of 9 (not
much good as a stealthy backstabbing assassin).
However her total point of 87 is one of the highest in the game and she
also has an INT of 17 (which I believe was no coincidence by the game
designers - why else would a thief need a high INT?).
With an XP limit of 89,000 (in BG) you must dual-class Imoen by level 6
if she is to become a level 7 Mage/Thief. I dual-classed her at level 5
(10,000XP) as by then she had 3x backstab and 100% pickpocket and her skills
as a Mage/Thief would be available earlier in the game (at a total of
50,000XP). Don't forget to assign proficiency points to different weapons
as a Mage because the Thief ones will become available once she reaches
level 6 (i.e. they are not cumulative so if you give 1 to missile as a
thief and 1 to missile as a mage you will only have 1 for missile as a mage
thief whereas you could have had 1 for bow AND 1 for missile).
_________________
Fighting Battles:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Let them come to you. When you first see an enemy, your first instinct may
be to run over to it and slaughter it. Well don't. Let it come to you, and
attack it there. This way if there are 50 more of these creatures, they
won't see you and won't attack. You can then pick off each creature one at a
time. This is especially useful in dungeons where the enemies may be more
difficult. So when you first see an enemy (let's say that it's a Battle
Horror), turn off the AI (it's the left button in the bottom right corner of
the screen), and let him come up to you. You should also have your
archers/mages hit the enemy with everything they can, but don't move any
closer to the enemy! The last thing that you want is to fight TWO Battle
Horrors at the same time!
Also realize that some monsters (like Vampiric Wolves) require that you hit
them with Magic Weapons. You should never use Magic Arrows on a normal
creature; you should save the arrows for enemies that need them, such as
Battle Horrors, Demonknights, etc.
Area spells can take out a lot of enemies without them even knowing that you
are there. Suppose for a moment, that you are walking along, and a Gnoll
comes to attack you. You immediately stop, wait for him to come to you and
kill him. Well, where there is one Gnoll there are probably more, so you
launch a fireball in the direction that the Gnoll came from, and immediately
hear the screams of dying Gnolls. This is a great way to cut enemies down
quickly, but you probably want to save your fireballs for bigger enemies than
the common Gnoll. (fry the Dryads instead!) Another good example is if you
are attacked by an NPC assassin of some sort. If you are out in the wild,
it's likely that there is a party of them, so you launch a Fireball (or a
Cloudkill) and kill them before they even know you exist.
________________________________________________
Fighting Sirines (and other "Charm"ing monsters)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
(from Gonzalo Jéldrez)
I had some trouble fighting the three sirines (Sil) in the Lighthouse, but I
casually discovered a good technique: I sent Minsc alone to the combat with
Berserk activated, and when the Dryads charmed him, he continued attacking
them! He killed the three of them, but of course lost the 15 hp for
berserking. I don't know if the rest of the party needs to be far away from
the combat, anyway.
Editor's Note: I use a variation of this strategy a fair amount. Sirines are
deadly because they can cast Dire Charm, and turn one of your
party against you. Nothing worse than watching your best
fighter mow down your mage in a round. So, I just send in my
best fighter all alone. If she does get Dire Charmed, the
Sirines will stop attacking, so she remains completely safe.
__________________________________
Monsters are constantly respawning
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In some areas, monsters will keep respawning even if you kill them all.
Sometimes, you can actually determine that monsters are respawning in the
same general area in a map. Let's use an example: The Gnoll Fortress.
Here, Gnolls keep respawning and always in the same spot; and, when
respawned, they do not move or wander around aimlessly. So, once you have
determined an area where they respawn, get rid of them and leave a character
there. Monsters do not respawn if there is a character within eyesight
(if a character is in the area and could immediately see the respawned
monster). So, you can leave a couple of weak characters in those areas while
the others handle the beating.
There are some areas where this strategy will not work, though. In Werewolf
Island, Werewolves will keep respawning even within eyesight of your
character (it is not a good idea to leave a low level mage where 4 Werewolves
will be respawned when you will load a game). Another example is the
Firewine Bridge Ruins. Although the Kobolds Commandos do not respawn when
you can see them, there are a lot of places where they actually
respawn and because when respawned, they wander around aimlessly so you can't
leave a character behind -- unless he's prepared to fight some Kobolds
Commandos every now and then.
____________________________
Useful spells and tough NPCs
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When fighting 2 or more difficult NPCs (assassination attempts come to
mind), use the Charm spell to quickly turn the odds in your favor. If you
have two magic users who can cast charm in the first round of a fight, not
only does the enemy lose two characters, you gain them temporarily (so the
odds can change from 10 enemies vs. 6 of you to 8 enemies and 8 of you).
Once they are charmed, pull back your big bruisers from the front lines and
replace them by the newly acquired members while continually pelting the
remaining enemies with ranged weapons. If any charmed characters survive the
encounter, simply force-attack them to get rid of them. If you have Dire
Charm, use that instead of the regular Charm.
Also, the spell Entangle (or Web) is pretty useful to stop those annoying
fighters with melee weapons from closing in on your party. Once entangled,
they can't move and you can get rid of them easily and safely with ranged
weapons. The spell Web is also good since a webbed creature can't even
attack with a ranged weapon, but the spell can last for several rounds and
could eventually web some of your own party members from round to round if
they get in the affected area.
Lightning Bolt, however, is a pretty crappy spell. Although it deals a lot
of damage, it will usually hit a wall and come right back at the person who
cast it. I've gotten rid of some enemy mages that way (the mage in
Firewine, and Davaeorn and Rieltar come to mind). They cast Lightning Bolt
at my characters, I'm hit once, but move out of the way while they get hit
repeatedly by his own lightning bolt reflecting off the walls, as well as my
characters. Unless you are outdoors, don't use or memorize lightning bolt.
Monsters summoning is a great spell. Although the summoned monsters do not
do a lot of damage, they make great cannon fodder. Charge! While they keep
the enemy busy, you can pick them off one by one with ranged weapons or
spells (saving all your potions, and more potent spells for later more
powerful enemies). When fightings werewolves in Balduran's Shipwreck or
the Aec'Letec are great examples of where to use this spell.
Fireballs and those other major area effect spells should be used only to
weaken the enemy or for luring them to you and thus, do not memorize a lot
of these (memorize others instead). These major area effect spells, when
not cast at the right place, can literally damage your whole party so unless
you know exactly where to cast them, don't use them. Keep them instead for
when an area is completely filled with a group of weaker enemies to get rid
of them quickly and with minimal damage (happens when you quickloads or loads
a lot of times in the same map). The Crypts below Candlekeep is a good
example of this (I once had 40+ skeletons archers pounding my fighter). Two
fireballs got all of them. Fighting them any other way would have caused
unnecessary damage to almost all my party members.
Memorize a lot of Dispel Magic spells. Dispel Magic negates any magic
affecting your party (fear, horror, paralysis, entangle, slow, etc...) while
it can also be used to dispel the enemy magics that they use (haste, minor
globe of invulnerability, protection from normal missiles, etc...). Never
forget that casting dispel magic will negates both magics affecting your
party and the enemy so knowing when to cast what spell when is crucial in an
important battle. Usually, though, it is preferable to dispel everyones
magic's than having one or more of your party members being paralysed,
charmed, running in fear, etc...
________________________________________
Lure the enemy to you (especially NPC's)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is a good tactic to use in battles with enemy NPC's. Keep your party
away from the future battle ground and move only one of your character near
the enemy's NPCs. When one of them see your character, quickly pull him back
toward your main group then let the poor little dude get it. This way, you
can chunk out some annoying NPCs before you tackle the rest (the group of
mercenaries in the Eldercity and the last battle with Sarevok and friends
come to mind).

______________________________
Skeletons and Stinking Clouds:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
(from John Van De Graaf)
A very effective strategy is to have your cleric summon a group of skeletons
to accompany the party around an area since the skeletons last 8 hours,
which is a lot more time than other summoned critters. In an encounter with
a group of foes, have your mage cast the under-appreciated Stinking Cloud
spell on the enemy group and send your skeletons in to fight. Your party
can stand back and kill everyone with missile fire. The skeletons aren't
affected by stinking cloud, charm, confusion, or any of the annoying mental
spells that enemies tend to use. This tactic is particularly good against
mental attack creatures like Sirines and mindflayers, stone-gaze creatures
like medusae and basilisks, and against enemy mages who expend their spell
on your undead minions. The stinking cloud makes it nearly impossible for
enemy mages to cast spells anyway. Enemy fighters can beat up the skeletons
pretty handily, whenever they're not passed out from the stinking cloud, but
even then, you get to do a lot of damage with missile fire before the enemy
fighters close in to any of your party. The best part is, both Stinking
Cloud and Summon Skeleton are very low level spells and so are available
very early in the game, when you most need such advantages.
___________
Save a Lot:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are 3 times when you should definately save the game. When you win a
battle, before you go to sleep, and everywhere else. You never know when you
will go to a new area, have your best warrior charmed, and have half your
party killed. So save often. Also don't just save over the same slot over
and over, use at least 10 slots. This is especially necessary in Durlag's
tower. This also means you should probably avoid the Quick Save. Well...
not avoid, just don't use it exclusively.
What I would do is to create an "Archive Save" whenever you enter a new major
area. So when you start Durlag's Tower create a "Durlag's Beginning Save" so
if you screw up, you can start over from the start of the tower.
________
Resting:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
No matter where you rest, you won't get very many HP from resting. In fact,
for an 8 hour rest, everyone will get exactly 1 HP (unless they have 19 CON).
So before you rest make sure to (after you save it, if you are not in an inn)
heal everyone with spells. You get all magic memorized during the night, you
do not, however, get all your HP's. In fact you only get 1 hp during a
normal rest (you get more in an inn if you pay for the more expensive
rooms).
__________
The Guard:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When you rob someone, they might summon the guard. Keep that in mind (you
will want to save the game before you rob someone). Also bear in mind that
the guard is strangely NOT summoned if you kill someone, like in an inn. To
be more precise, the Guard is only summoned if you steal something with
someone in the room who is able to summon the Guard. I'm not saying that you
should kill people so that you can rob their room, it's just that you can
kill SOME people without the Guard caring. How do they know that that person
attacked you?
In any case, if the Guard is summoned they will try to talk to you. If you
can get away without them talking to you, you have gotten off scot free (not
as easy as it sounds). You can't bribe them (at least you can't do it more
than once), so tell them that you'll cleave them limb from limb, then simply
leave the room. Don't attack them! Once you're out of the room you're fine,
you can even come back later and they'll vanish. This way you lose only 1
reputation rather than the 5 or so you get by killing a Flaming Fist.
edwardalacey sent me this:
"Whether you can bribe guards depends on who exactly they are. If you steal
in Beregost or Baldur's Gate the Flaming Fist will arrive, and they cannot
be bribed. In Nashkel or the Carnival you get Amnish soldiers, who can be
bribed with 200 gold. In Candlekeep a watcher will arrive and demand that
you donate all your money to the library, and you are let off if you do
this."
___________
Reputation:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You really want a high reputation. The higher the better. Even if you have
an evil party you want a high reputation. If you have a good or neutral
party, try for a reputation of 20, if you have an evil party, you still want
a reputation of 18 (the highest you can go before all the evil people start
leaving). Because of these various things, I would not recommend having a
mixed alignment party. By mixed I mean good and evil combined. The best
part about a good reputation is that everything is given the "hero discount",
up to 50% off of items in stores! You can see your reputation in your
character record screen, default key: R.
____________________________________
Stealing without Loss of Reputation:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
So you want to steal something from a house without losing reputation. It
is actually quite an easy thing to accomplish. Simply de-equip your weapon,
and whack all the people in the room until they are unconscious (be careful
to not KILL the people, so turn off the AI, or de-equip everyone's weapons).
Now you can steal anything you want. Since they aren't awake to complain
about it, you can't lose reputation.
Use the games possibilities! Just IMMEDIATELY stop the game after you opened
a chest or something, because the guard needs some time to show up. You can
transfer all the stuff into your inventory while still being in PAUSE-mode.
Then save it. Reload agan, and the announced guards will never appear. But
the gained stuff is of course still of yours. (From Dr. Gummipress)
_________________________
Cursed Protection scrolls
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
To give you an idea if the Protection from XXXXXX Scroll that you just found
is cursed, give it to a character with a high Lore Ability (they can normally
identify these scrolls without any magical means) and right click on it.
If the scroll is still not identified at that point (you still do not know
what that scroll does) then it probably is a cursed scroll. Another strategy
is to keep one Identify spell memorized. Simply save before you identify the
scroll, identify it (so you know if it is cursed or not and if it is worth
keeping) then reload.
______________
Cursed Potions
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You may already have noticed this, but there are cursed potions in the game,
which all have the same names as normal potions. There are hints in their
descriptions, but they are all clearly recognisable by their colours: cursed
healing potions are dark pink, antidotes are purple, and oils of speed are
multi-coloured (as opposed to blue, green and white respectively). The
antidote in the pile of corpses in Ulcaster is cursed, as are all the potions
Lucky Aello sells except the potion of perception. (from edwardalacey)
Editor's Note: The one potion that looks cursed, but isn't, is the multi-
colored Potion of Invulnerability.
______________________
MartectX's strategies:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Stealing without Loss of Reputation: I got on this while trying to steal
the Rogue Stone from the Hall of Wonders: Just charm all people around!
They won't call any wardens.
- If a NPC who is supposed to give you an important information or quest was
threatened by you and turned "red" - charm him using Nymph's cloak (or
Algernon's of course...) and force-talk to him. (default key: F1)
- So you are fighting mighty NPMages? Like I described above do the
following: Enter the room and the mage should begin casting a spell.
Quickly run out and get straight back in. The mage will cast another spell
and so you should get out again. Once the mage is out of his spells he'll
direct you in hand-to-hand combat (where he should be a real dog-biscuit).
This surely only functions if there's a "real" door, not only a hole in the
wall - the game has to load another level, you get it?
Editor's Note: This doesn't work with all mages. The ones in TotSC areas
particularly have scripts to prevent this. For instance,
they will have several spells that they never run out of,
and always recast when you enter the area (like globe
of invulnerability).
__________________
Special Abilities:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Your main character will gain new special abilities as you sleep. The first
couple are "Cure Light Wounds" (assuming that you have a good reputation).
They come in the form of strange dreams, which usually occur at the beginning
of new chapters (whether you sleep in an inn or not). You are not guaranteed
to gain an ability just because it's a new chapter and you are sleeping in an
inn, however, it will happen eventually.
So which of the two will your character gain, good or evil? That depends on
your Reputation (not your alignment). If it is 10 or above, you get the good
abilities, if it is less than 10 you get the evil abilities. Reputation is
checked at the time you have the "dream", not at the beginning of the
chapter. (from Kelvin Groves)

Frequently Asked Questions [FRQNTL]
===============================================================================
General:
--------
Q: Why aren't cheats working for me?
A: My guess is that it is something to do with Windows Vista / 7. I don't
know this for sure as the cheats have always worked for me and I use
Windows 7.
I would recommend installing your game to a non-standard location. For my
game I installed it to C:\Games\Baldur's Gate\.
Then you activate cheats in the normal way by opening Baldur.ini (found
in that same folder), find [Game Options] and beneath that adding the
line:
Cheats=1
Save the Baldur.ini file and start your game. Cheats should work. See
that section below for more information.
Or, if you are using Tutu or Baldur's Gate Trilogy, you open the same
Baldur.ini file and find [Program Options]. Then add beneath that:
Debug Mode=1
Save and exit the text editor and fire up the game as normal.
Q: How do I read the coordinates you use? (x 100 y 200)
A: This is probably my most asked question, so I have placed the
instructions for it in several other places throughout the guide. To
display the x,y position at your mouse cursor press the L button.
Q: How do I use magic scrolls?
A: There are 3 types of magical scrolls: the Protection Scrolls (they have
the green icons), mage spells and divine spells. Anyone can use
protection scrolls. Only mages and bards can use mage scrolls, and only
clerics, druids, paladins and rangers can use divine scrolls. To cast
directly from the scroll, place it in your "Quick Item" slot on your
inventory screen. Then select your character, and click on the toolbar
button with the spell. With mage spells, if you right click on the spell,
you can write the spell to your spellbook.
Q: I had enough experience to level up, I clicked the button, but now in
the level-up screen, the "Accept" button is grayed out. How do I get past
this?
A: You have to assign all available weapon proficiencies and theiving skill
points before you can level up.
Q: Where are the stat improving tomes and manuals?
A: There are 8 stat improving books in the game. One for each stat, except
WISDOM which has 3. This is the only permanent way to improve your stats
in the game. You can only get 3 of them before entering Baldur's Gate
in chapter 5.
Manual of Bodily Health +1 Con - Lighthouse cave
Manual of Gainful Exercise +1 Str - Candlekeep Catacombs*
Manual of Quickness of Action +1 Dex - Thieves Guild, Baldur's Gate
Tome of Clear Thought +1 Int - Ramazith's Tower, Baldur's Gate
Tome of Leadership and Influence +1 Chr - Cave south of Gnoll Fort
Tome of Understanding +1 Wis - Priest of Tymora, Baldur's Gate
- Candlekeep Catacombs*
- Durlag's Tower**
* SPOILER
only reachable after you've been to Baldur's Gate and returned to
Candlekeep for the Flaming Fist.
/SPOILER
** Tales of the Sword Coast
Q: Why do my weapons keep breaking?
A: This is due to the "iron shortage." All non-magical weapons in the game
have a chance to break. So, until you get your first "+1" weapon, keep
some spares around.
Baldur's Gate:
--------------
Q: I was poisoned by Lothander and Marek, but both are now dead and I'm
still poisoned. How do I get cured?
A: The cure is built into the quest, so you have to complete it properly to
get cured. In order: you go to the central area of Baldur's Gate, talk
to Lothander, talk to the Diviner, talk to the priestess of Umberlee,
get the book from the priest of Tymora, back to the priestess of Umberlee
to get the scroll of geas removal (you can fight her to keep the book),
back to Lothander upstairs in the Blade & Star Inn (he gives you a
regular potion of antidote), then to the blushing mermaid go upstairs
to talk to Marek. This last part is key. You can't just attack him, you
have to talk to him first. Kill him, get his antidote, drink it and
you're done.
Durlag's Tower
--------------
Q: I can't figure out the 4 dwarven riddles, help!
A: They have 4 things for you to do, and their riddle is simply telling you
what on the level you need to accomplish. This is made more tricky by the
fact that you have to look for the "circular chasing arrows" icon to use
the various items in the area.
1) Find the mallet handle and mallet head, rebuild the mallet on the
anvil, then strike the gone.
2) Find the Glittering Beljuril.
3) Click on all the books in the circular library, then observe the
glory of Durlag's Pride (sword).
4) Find the machine switch, put it on the slot above the big machine
to reactivate the machine. Find the grapes. Go to the wine press,
use it to make wine. Don't drink the wine.
Once those are done, turn them in to the dwarves. They will attack you,
kill them, search the bodies for the Dwarven Runestone, and be on your
way.
Q: On the third level, I beat the second Durlag doppleganger in the sparring
dummy room, but I can't get to the next room, the door is locked. How
do I get in there?
A: Hit the each of the dummies once to open the doors.
Q: On the level with the 4 caverns with the 4 elemental monsters, I killed
them all, but it doesn't transport me to the chess board. What did I
miss?
A: You have to kill every monster in each cave. My guess is that you missed
a Phoenix Guard in the fire cave. They can sometimes come back after you
kill them (rise from the ashes, as it were).
===============================================================================
Baldur's Gate WALKTHROUGH: [WLKTHR]
===============================================================================
A quick note on locations: To find out the location at the mouse cursor press
the "L" key. The top left of the screen is the
0,0. Some locations that I list are the buildings
that the people/things are in, when I do this I try
to get the location of the door. So to find that
person/thing just go inside!
This is a sequential walkthrough, that is, it goes in the order that I went. I
think that this is a good order, but you don't have to follow it. All the
major places are the numbered sections, and the minor areas are represented by
the little lettered sections. Feel free to do as many or as little of the
lettered sub-sections as you wish.
The Treasures line in each section lists only major treasures, such as magical
items. It does not list all the treasures, like gold or gems, in the areas. I
also don't list things like potions, and I know that I have missed some things
here and there, if you find any, please email me!
Note: All of the subquest rewards were taken with a high (18 or so) Charisma.
If your charisma is lower than this, you may get a significantly lesser
reward!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Candlekeep [1CNDLK]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions (NPC's): none (although Imoen joins later)
Plot:
- Buy Equipment in the Inn (you start right by it). If you want to do
subquests here, buy some bolts while you're there (Fuller's Bolts).
- The subquests here function as a tutorial of the games functions. They give
a small amount of experience (xp) and gold, but aren't critical.
- Once you're done here, talk to Gorion to leave Candlekeep (x 2683 y 1756)
Note: Once you leave Candlekeep, you can't come back.
Subquests:
- Phlydia's Book
A little NE of the Inn, you will find Phlydia. She has lost her book, The
History of Halruaa. Go east, you will find a shed with hay and a cow.
Check one of the bales of hay for the book. Return to Phlydia for your
reward, a gem and 50 exp.
Note: The quality of the gem depends on your "Reaction Roll" which is
a combination of your Charisma (CHA) and Reputation (REP). If you
have a bad CHA and a normal REP, you might not get a gem reward at
all.
Phlydia: Candlekeep (x 1601 y 311)
Book: Candlekeep (x 3245 y 289)
- Firebead's Scroll
Inside the Inn is Firebead Elvenhair. He has lent a scroll to a scholar,
Tethtoril, near the Candlekeep central area and wants you to retrieve it.
Do so for a small reward, a Healing Potion, 50 exp and he casts Protection
from Evil on you. Speaking of evil...
Josh Clue sent this exploit:
"As an 'EASY Level Up' option before you venture out of Candlekeep, you
can opt to kill the old mage for his worth in XP, 2700 to be exact. It
is a bit tricky, but possible. Here is how: Buy all the items you will
need before leaving with Gorion. Equip your character's ranged weapon,
preferably a bow or sling. Make sure you have 60-80 arrows or bullets.
After Firebead casts Protection From Evil on you, head for the foot of
the stairs. Then, from that vantage point, attack him with your ranged
weapon. He will begin casting, but you can interrupt it by heading up
the flight of stairs. Head down again, fire once with your ranged
weapon, then quickly head up before the completion of his spellcasting.
Do this repeatedly and you will end up slaying the poor mage and
gaining 2700 XP before you even set foot outside Candlekeep. This will
make your main character level 2 or 3! Winthrop, the guests at the inn,
and the tutors will become hostile but do not kill them. Grab
Firebead's things and either use them, or sell them to buy back your
lost reputation."
Firebead: Candlekeep, Candlekeep Inn (x 198 y 404)
Tethtoril: Candlekeep (x 3154 y 1304)
- Fuller's Bolts
If you're still in the Inn, buy some bolts, and take them to the barracks.
There you will give your bolts to Fuller who apparantly can't walk up the
street to get some himself. (Or he's humoring you) When you talk to Fuller,
ask him if he has any errands for you to run. Talk to him again and give
him the bolts for your reward, a dagger +1 and 50 exp.
Barracks: Candlekeep (x 1570 y 2447)
- Hull's Sword & Medicine
While you are still in the barracks, in the NE corner is a chest. Open the
chest and take the contents (a sword, and a bottle). Now take the sword
to Hull, who is by the main gate. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that he
forgot his sword. Talk to him again to give it to him. You get 20gp and
50 exp for your trouble.
Barracks: Candlekeep (x 1570 y 2447)
Hull: Candlekeep (x 3662 y 2431)
- Nessie's Green Elixer
Now we're going to finish up these subquests by going up to Nessie (the
cow, she's by where you got the book for Phlydia). Talk to Dreppin (if you
didn't talk to him before, you'll have to talk to him 3 times) and he'll
take the potion from you, and you get 50 exp.
Dreppin: Candlekeep (x 3264 y 430)
- Killing Rats
Talk to Reevor by the Storehouse, and he'll pester you to kill the rats in
the storeroom. Go inside and do just that. Come back out and talk to
Reevor again to get your reward, 5gp and 50 exp.
Reevor: Candlekeep (x 4335 y 1454)
Assassination Attempts (it gets its own category...hehe): 2
- Priest's Quarters (x 2961 y 437)
Assassins: Shank -- Dagger, 20 exp
- Bunkhouse (x 2055 y 2668)
Assassins: Carbos -- Dagger, 20 exp
Note: If you kill these assassins before they turn red and attack you, you
get 2 exp. Your reputation doesn't decrease either.
Other:
- Star Sapphire
In Winslows Inn, in Candlekeep, there is a Star Sapphire in a locked chest
on the second floor. A Halfling thief with maxed out Dexterity & maxed out
Lockpicking skills will crack this lock, & you can then sell the sapphire
to Winslow for 1000 gp. Very nice at the start of the game. Other thieves
might be able to pull this off as well, though I haven't tried. There's
also some spells in a locked bookcase on the first floor, in the room
behind Winslow. (from The Bruce)
Tip: Don't want to be a halfling thief, but still want the gem? If you're
playing in multi-player (see general strategies) you can create a
second character -- yes, that same halfling thief with maxed DEX and
maxed pick locks -- specifically for this purpose. Once he has the
gem, you can drop him and keep the spoils.
- Learn to Fight
If you want to learn the battle system of Baldur's Gate in a controlled
atmosphere, simply talk to the Gatewarden at (x 3065 y 3899) to set up a
simulated combat experience. You get no items from it, however, nor do you
get any experience.
Orlandu sent me this:
"You actually do get SOME xp from fighting in the illusionist's place, if
you are fighting monsters he hasn't conjured up yet, up to the
hobgoblins. It is just a tad hard to divide 1 xp to 6 people and get a
whole number."
edwardalacey sent me this:
"During the prologue, there is an easy way to get some equipment for
free. Accept the Gatekeeper's offer of training in party combat (you
have to have only one person in your party to be able to do this) and
take all the temporary NPC's equipment (they have, among other things, a
Small Shield +1 and a Wand of the Heavens). Yes, I know the items
disappear if you leave, but if you export your character, start a new
game, and then import him/her again, you get to keep them."
Ed. Note: However, if you DO do this trick, then do NOT go into this
area again! When you are taken out of it, your items will
disappear!
Rolf Zehb found a way to keep these NPC's:
So I discovered, that those 5 npc in candlekeep (which are found together
with "obe") could be taken outside of candlekeep without cheating. How
to get them:
- have your training solved and before talking to obe the last time
dismiss all of the npc in your group. while doing so stand near obe,
so that you can talk to him. have the npc dismissed in a way, that
they stand near you either.
- then talk to the npc and if they want to join you answer "no".
- now talk to obe and just before he teleports you outside - pause the
game! (bit tricky but possible)
- then (while the game is paused) talk to any npc.
- then unpause.
Sometimes when you are already teleported outside, a dialog-box appears
and the npc ask you to join you! If all goes right you have one npc
still near obe! Let this one talk to all the remaining npc. Switch back
to your main character and have him go instantly to gorion. Talk to him
and leave candlekeep. The automatic scene with Sarevok starts. If
finished all the npc are still with you!
Some of them are very interesting (one having the identification spell
ready), one having lay-on-hands as special ability, one having
invisibility and one having slow poision. The dwarven fighter has a
CON of 19 an he has even higher hitpoints than possible with a score of
19. The thief has extraordinary thiefish abilities! The only lack is
that none has a biography - but hey...
- Learn to Fight part 2
Another place to learn to fight is to talk to Jondalar (x 4094 y 1331). He
will attack you, you attack back. Erik will sneak up behind you and shoot
you with arrows. Don't worry, they don't damage you. You get nothing from
this either.
- Free Healing Potion
Go to the healer's (x 3566 y 2932) and talk to the Priest of Oghma there,
and tell him that you could use a little healing, and he will give you a
potion of healing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a. Crossroads: Area E of Candlekeep & Area S of Friendly Arm Inn [ATHCRS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This is actually 2 areas in one since there isn't all that much to do
here. So, pay attention to where each subquest item is.
Companions:
Note: I wouldn't bother with Xzar and Montanon here unless you are forming an
all evil party. One thing to do if you don't want to keep them, is to
take them temporarily, steal everything they have of value, and then
leave them. (they only really have a Studded Leather Armor, but Imoen
could use that at this point!) Another viewpoint would be to take and
keep the duo until you find better people.
S D C I W Ch
- Imoen 9 18 16 17 11 16 Human Thief Neutral Good
Imoen automatically will join you immediately after Gorion's death. Unless
you run away, that is. Sometimes she comes with a Wand of Magic Missiles,
now who did she steal that from?
- Xzar 14 16 10 17 16 10 Human Necromancer Chaotic Evil
Xzar and Montaron will join you on the crossroads right out of Candlekeep,
and they want to go investigate the Nashkel mines (who doesn't).
Where he is: Crossroads (E of Candlekeep) (x 4577 y 2693)
- Montaron 16 17 15 12 13 9 Halfling Fighter/Thief Neutral Evil
Montaron is the dumb half of Montaron and Xzar, and goes where Xzar goes.
Where he is: Crossroads (E of Candlekeep) (x 4515 y 2707)
Enemies: Gibberlings, Xvarts, Bandits, Wolves, 1 Ogre (see subquests below)
Treasures: Girdle of Masculinity/Feminity (An Ogre and His Belts)
Girdle of Piercing (An Ogre and His Belts)
Plot:
- You are now in the area where Gorion was killed, you need to go east, then
north to get to the Friendly Arm Inn.
Note: When you first enter the crossroads area, Elminster will talk to you.
Strictly speaking, you don't have to go the Friendly Arm Inn at all. If you
don't want Jaheira / Khalid, you can just head south to Beregost / Nashkel
right away.
Subquests:
- Chase and the Cliff
Chase apparantly has nothing to live for, and is going to hurl himself off
of a cliff. You can talk him out of it, but it's not readily apparent what
effect this has on the game. No matter what you say to him, he doesn't
jump.
Chase: Area E of Candlekeep (x 1458 y 2412)
- An Ogre and His Belts
There is an ogre here who has a belt fetish. Kill him and take the two
belts. The larger looking belt is the Girdle of Masculinity/Feminity
(changes your sex) and the smaller one is the Girdle of Piercing + 3 vs.
piercing. You may want to wait to do this until you have more than 2
people. If you want, you can return the Girdle of Piercing to its owner,
Unshey, in the Friendly Arm Inn (see that section below). I, however,
never give it back. It is just too good against arrows.
Ogre: Area S of Friendly Arm Inn (x 4787 y 1665)
Other:
- Search Gorion's Body (area E of Candlekeep)
You will find some treasure's around where Gorion was killed, including a
letter that has some clue's about your origin. (x 3149 y 1373)
- A Diamond (from Silviu)
On the east side of the map is a stone path. The path has three curves in
it, one to the east and two to the west. At the second curve to the west,
the northern most curve, there are two trees standing on either side of the
curve. In the west tree, halfway up the treetrunk, a diamond can be found
(worth 500 Gp.)
Coordinates: Area E of Candlekeep (x 4418 y 1956)
- A downed Caravan (area S of Friendly Arm Inn)
You can check out a destroyed caravan, but there's only 7 gp there to be
had. (x 2348 y 3343)
- Ring of Protection (from edwardalacey)
On the map directly south of the Friendly Arm Inn there is a Ring of
Protection +1, in a hole in a rock.
Rock: Area S of Friendly Arm Inn (x 1006 y 1114)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Friendly Arm Inn (AR 2300) [2FRNDL]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Jaheira 15 14 17 10 14 15 Half-Elf Fighter/Druid True Neutral
Jaheira and Khalid were good friends of Gorion, and will go with you every-
where. However, if you say "No" to them the first time they want to join,
you won't be able to get them. Ever.
Where she is: Friendly Arm Inn, Ground Floor (x 329 y 685)
- Khalid 15 16 17 12 10 9 Half-Elf Fighter Neutral Good
See Jaheira above for a description.
Where he is: Friendly Arm Inn, Ground Floor (x 329 y 685)
Enemies: Hobgoblins
Plot:
- Beat the assassin, Tarnesh, to gain entrance to the Inn
- Talk to Khalid and Jaheria and get them to join. They tell you to go to
Nashkel to the south to find out about this tainted ore thing. Don't worry,
if you "forget" to go there, they will remind you. Again and again.
- From here if you want a Paladin, go north and get Ajantis, otherwise head
south to Nashkel.
Subquests:
- Unshey's Belt
If you want to part with the Girdle of Piercing (I would keep it), talk to
Unshey in the Friendly Arm Inn to get a reward: History of Tethyr, 95gp,
and 800 exp. If you give it away, you can kill him to get it back, but
you will lose REP. You cannot pickpocket the belt.
Unshey: Friendly Arm Inn, Second Floor (x 1190 y 753)
- The Noble's Golden Pantaloons
On the third floor of the Friendly Arm Inn you will find a nobleman who
mistakes you for the laundry service of the inn, and he gives you his
Golden Pantaloons for washing. You can't do anything with the pantaloons
so give them back to the Noble for 100 exp. Not bad for not doing a thing.
On the other hand, if you keep the pantaloons ("always keep the
pantaloons") there is some payoff if you import your character into
Baldur's Gate II.
Noble: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 336 y 673)
- Landrin's Spiders
Landrin's house in Beregost has been overrun by spiders, and that is why
she is hiding in the Friendly Arm Inn. Someone should tell her about the
Jovial Juggler Inn, it's right next door to her house! She gives you a
bunch of antidotes and promises a reward if you bring back the body of the
spider, her husband's boots, and some wine. Go to Beregost, and into the
house by the Jovial Juggler. Kill the spiders, loot one spider for its
body, then search the house for the wine and boots. Take the 3 items and
return to Landrin for your reward: for the boots (300 exp, 120gp), for the
Spider Body (200 exp, 100gp), and for the wine (300 exp, 75gp). You have to
turn each item in separately.
Landrin: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 796 y 735)
Spiders: Beregost (x 3078 y 3416)
- Joia's Flamedance Ring
Hobgoblins north of the Inn have swiped Joia's flamedance ring. Kill them
to get it back. Joia is in the house just to the west of the outer gate in
the inner grounds. She won't give you anything, but you get 400 exp and
Rep + 1.
Hobgoblins: Friendly Arm Inn (x 2554 y 292)
Joia: Friendly Arm Inn (x 1536 y 2484)
- Ring of Wizardry (from edwardalacey)
When you arrive outside the Friendly Arm Inn, walk along the bottom of the
map, to the east. You find a large tree with a slightly darker patch on the
ground nearby, at x=2555, y=3759. If you move the mouse over it you will
find that it is a container and contains the Ring of Wizardry
(x2 Level 1 spells). This is hard to find but it is there. I've heard
that Tales of the Sword Coast removed it, but that the TotSC patch put it
back in.

Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Kagain 16 12 20 15 11 8 Dwarf Fighter Lawful Evil
Kagain runs a Mercenary business, and one of his caravans has disappeared.
Help him recover it, and you get to keep what you find. Goodie. Take him
to the Area S of the Friendly Arm Inn and he will get disgusted with
looking for Caravans, but will still stay in your party.
Where he is: Beregost (Shop North of Feldepost Inn) (x 1549 y 2031)
- Garrick 14 16 9 13 14 15 Human Bard Chaotic Neutral
Garrick will join you only after you finish the Silke subquest (see below).
Where he is: Beregost, by the Burning Wizard Inn (x 2564 y 2284)
Enemies: none
Treasures: Ring of Protection +1 (Mirianne's Letter)
Medium Shield +1 (Bjornin's Half-Ogres)
Staff +1 (Silke)
Algernon's Cloak (Algernon's Cloak)
Ankheg Armor (Ankheg Armor)
Plot:
- We're just passing through Beregost on our way to Nashkel in the south, but
there are a great many subquests here to do, and I would suggest doing all
that you feel you can.
Subquests:
- Mirianne's Letter
Just south of Beregost you will find two Ogrillons, and on one of their
bodies is a letter for a Mirianne, who lives in Beregost. Take her the
letter and she will give you a Ring of Protection + 1 and 300 exp.
Mirianne: Beregost (x 4804 y 2086)
Ogrillons: Area S of Beregost (x 3850 y 1460)
- Firebead Elvenhair's Book
You'll find Firebead in Beregost (he was also in Candlekeep while you were
there) and he wants you to pick a book up for him, the History of the
Fateful Coin. You can find it across the street in the Feldepost's Inn
(for 2gp). Give him the book and you get 300 exp, the History of the Dead
Three, and a Reputation + 1. (If he doesn't give you the subquest, you can
still complete it, just buy the book and give it to him as if he had)
Note: If you're cheap, the book History of the Fateful Coin can be found
in a bookcase in the home directly south of Firebeard's place.
(from John Van De Graaf)
Josh Clue sent in this exploit:
"Forgot to mention this one in the last e-mail. Even if you do kill
Firebead in Candlekeep, he manages to pull himself out of the grave
and back into his house in Beregost... Yep, we can put him down for
good for another 2700 XP! You can use the same ranged weapon technique
you used in Candlekeep if your level is still low."
Firebead: Beregost (x 2044 y 2905)
Feledepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
- Marl the Drunk
Marl is in the Feldepost Inn, and he has had his fill of adventurers. He
accosts you in the bar, and you can fight him (650 exp), but you can also
talk him out of fighting. Choose options 1, 1, 3, 3, 1. For your trouble
you get 900 exp. Interestingly enough, if you choose to kill him you do
not get a decrease in reputation. (which leads to this oddity found by
edwardalacey: After calming Marl down, you can kill him to get that
experience as well, with no loss of reputation!)
Marl: Beregost, Feledepost's Inn (x 1406 y 2640)
- Kagain's Quest
Kagain lost a caravan that he was protecting, and a noble's son was
kidnapped by bandits. Agree to help him get the kid back, and he will join
with you.
Kagain: Beregost (x 1516 y 2030)
- Landrin's Spiders Part 2
We first heard of this quest back in the Friendly Arm Inn, and now we can
finally complete it. Go to Landrin's house, it is the one just to the left
of the Jovial Juggler Inn. Inside will be several spiders. Kill them, and
one will leave behind a spider body for you to take. Also take the Worn
Out Boots and the Wine in the chest by the bed. (you don't want to use
either, since we are returning them to Landrin back in the Friendly Arm
Inn) Take the items back to Landrin for your reward: for the boots (300
exp, 120gp), for the Spider Body (200 exp, 100gp), and for the wine (300
exp, 75gp).
Landrin: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 796 y 735)
Spiders: Beregost (x 3078 y 3416)
- Gurke's Cloak
The Dwarf Gurke, whom you can find in the Jovial Juggler Inn, has had his
cloak stolen from him by some Tasloi in the Cloakwood Forest. You will
find it semi-hidden under a tree. Take it and return to Gurke, who doesn't
actually want it anymore to get your reward: 300 exp, and you get to keep
the Cloak of Non-Detection.
Gurke: Beregost (x 3760 y 3627)
Cloak: Cloakwood Forest One (x 4391 y 3472)
- Bjornin's Half-Ogres
The Paladin Bjornin, who is recuperating in the Jovial Juggler Inn, was
beaten by some nasty Half-Ogres south south-west of Beregost. (Go south
twice, then west once) Go there and defeat all the Half-Ogres that you can
find, then return to Bjornin to get your reward: Medium Shield +1, 400
exp, Reputation +1
Bjornin: Beregost (x 3760 y 3627)
Half-Ogres: Area S-SW of Beregost
- Silke
If you talk to Garrick, who is in front of the Burning Wizard Inn, he asks
for your help in defending the Lady Silke. Agree to his proposal, and
follow him to Silke. Talk to Silke, if she likes the look of you she will
offer to pay more than what Garrick offered (I got 400 offered). The
"thugs" will show up, but act like Silke had hired them for some purpose,
and now she had double crossed them. Refuse to kill them and instead kill
Silke (900 exp, 400gp, Staff +1, Potion).
Tip: You can pickpocket each of the 3 men for potions of defense. Do this
before talking to them. If you don't have enough pickpocket to get
the potions, they will stay there as long as you don't talk to them.
(from Yamian)
Talk to one of the men who Silke was going to kill to get a Potion of
Defense. Lastly, if you want, you can get Garrick to join your party.
If you do what Silke asks and kill the three men, you get 400 gp, lose
2 reputation points, and can't get Garrick to join you. Then, of course,
you could just kill Silke afterwards...
Garrick: Beregost (x 2498 y 2267)
Silke: Beregost (x 3455 y 2143)
- Zhurlong's Boots
In the Burning Wizard Inn you will find a "pesky" thief named Zhurlong. He
was going about his business (stealing from people like you) and had his
Boots of Stealth stolen by some Hobgoblins. You can find these Hobgoblins
to the south of Beregost. Oh, and did I mention that he swipes gold from
you everytime you talk to him? Return the boots to get your gold back, and
to get a reward: 300 exp, 100gp (plus whatever he stole from you). Or you
could keep the boots, they are Boots of Stealth (stealth +35%). Or you
could give him the boots, then kill him and take the boots back, suffering
no loss in reputation.
Zhurlong: Beregost (x 2649 y 2030)
Hobgoblins: Area S of Beregost (x 1865 y 2449)
- Perdue's Short Sword (from Operador de Sala and edwardalacey)
You can find Perdue in the Red Sheaf Inn. A Gnoll has stolen his short
sword in High Hedge. Be careful when you talk to Perdue, because you can
easily lose this subquest. He tells you about a Dog Face and you have to
say to him if the Dog Face is a Gnoll. Give the sword to Perdue for your
reward: 50 gp and 500 exp.
The correct conversation thread is 1,2,1,1.
Perdue: Red Sheaf Inn (Beregost) (x 3273 y 2124)
Gnoll: High Hedge (W of Beregost) (x 3780 y 2818)
Assassination Attempts: 1
- Inside the Red Sheaf Inn (x 3273 y 2124)
Karlat -- 270 exp, Chain Mail, Shield, 38 gp
Other:
- Robbing Houses
There are a great many houses in Beregost that you can rob. I would send
in only your thief, and once inside, immediately save it. Then rob the
house. If any of the chests are locked, try to pick it first, then bash
it. If you get caught, re-load and try again. If you don't get caught,
your reputation can't go down!
- Algernon's Cloak
In the Feldepost's Inn on the second floor you will find a fat man named
Algernon. Pick his pocket to steal his wonderful cloak. (save it before
you do this, as if it fails, he will attack and you lose reputation) So
what is so special about the Cloak? Well it has the obvious effect of +2
Charisma. But if you use it as an item (click on the backpack icon) you
can charm people/animals/monsters. Cool.
Feledepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
- Oogie Wisham's fear of Paladins
On the second floor of the Jovial Juggler you will find Oogie Wisham, who
has a dreadful fear of the Paladin Bjornin. Nothing you say will fix his
irrational fear.
- Ankheg Armor
If you have an Ankheg Shell you can either sell it for 500gp, or you can
turn it into a very nice armor (AC 1) for 4000gp. Talk to Taerom in the
Smithy about it and try to get the armor made (it's the first option in
your dialogue). If you have 4000gp good, but if not, you can always go
hunt down Bassilus for the money. See the 3b. Area SW of Beregost section
for the Bassilus subquest. It will take him about 10 days or so to make
the armor.

- Kivan 18/12 17 14 10 14 8 Elf Ranger Chaotic Good
Kivan wants to hunt some bandits. If you kick him out of the party, he
stays gone for good!
Where he is: High Hedge (x 3652 y 1472)
Enemies: Skeletons, Gnolls, Gnoll Slashers, Flinds, Ghasts
Plot:
- We've come to High Hedge for a few reasons, to pick up the Ranger Kivan,
who makes a good addition to a good aligned party, and to enter High Hedge
to talk to the Wizard Thalantyr there. He sells many great and wonderful
things, magical items, and spells! You will have to talk to him twice to
get him to talk to you. Also be wary of his Flesh Golems!
Subquests:
- Perdue's Short Sword
Gnoll: High Hedge (W of Beregost) (x 3780 y 2818)
Other:
- At the entrance to High Hedge you will find a burgler named Permidion
Stark. He is planning the Greatest Heist of all time, robbing the High
Hedge. Of course, he gets scared and runs off. It would seem that there
are Flesh Golems inside, and that they are too much for him.
- There is an Aquamarine Gem (value 75gp) in a house at (x 1757 y 1526)

Companions: none
Enemies: Wolves, Skeletons, Ghasts, Hobgoblins, Hobgoblin Elites
Treasues: War Hammer +2 (The Dark Cleric Bassilus)
Plot:
- We're here mainly to kill Bassilus and then to take his holy symbol to the
Temple East of Beregost for the 5000gp reward!
Subquests:
- Melicamp the Chicken
In the North East of this area you will find a talking chicken being
attacked by a wolf. Kill the wolf and talk to the chicken. Turns out he
is Melicamp the Mage, and he appears to have polymorphed himself into the
form of a chicken, but now can't reverse it. You can try to dispel it, but
if you fail, then he asks you to take him up to High Hedge where Thalantyr
can reverse it. When you are back in the High Hedge area, find a skeleton
and kill it (they're around), and take its skull. You'll need it. Go
inside and talk to Thalantyr. Once he is done talking, and has told you to
go get a Skull, talk to him again. (I would save it before doing so,
however) Thalantyr will cast "antichickenator" and there is a 50% random
chance that it will work. (which is why we saved it! If it didn't work,
simply reload) Reward: 2000 exp, and a reputation +1
Melicamp: Area SW of Beregost (x 4543 y 407)
Thalantyr: High Hedge (x 2922 y 2619)
- The Dark Cleric Bassilus
As you may know from Beregost, Bassilus has a bounty on his head the size
of 5000gp. Bassilus is located to the south and east of the area, and
getting there you may encounter Footy from Beregost, who was looking at
Bassilus' "spooks". Go near him, and talk to him, he will mistake you for
a long lost parent (depending on your gender, mother or father). In order
say this, 3, 1, 1. He will get angry and lose control of his skeletons and
zombies (they all fall down, dead once more). All you have to do now is to
defeat him! (exp 975) Take at least his Holy Symbol (you will probably
also want that War Hammer +2, leave the Gauntlets where they are--they're
cursed) and go to the Temple East of Beregost. Talk there to Keldath
Ormlyr to get your reward: 5000gp, 1000 exp
Bassilus: Area SW of Beregost (x 4229 y 2797)
Keldath Ormlyr: Temple E of Beregost (x 1233 y 1064)
Other:
- Zargal the Hobgoblin
You may encounter Zargal near the center of the Area. He wants all your
money. If you don't give it to him, expect a fight. He gives 650 exp, and
his 2 cronies each give 165, so not bad. Plus they have a Short Sword +2.

Plot:
- We're here to finish the Half-Ogre killing quest that Bjornin requested.
Subquests:
- Bjornin's Half-Ogres (see the Beregost section above)
- Help Drizzt Do'Urden
Somewhere near the center of the map you will find Drizzt being attacked by
some Gnolls. He will ask for your help in defeating the Gnolls. Agree and
attack them. Once the Gnolls are slaughtered, you can talk to Drizzt (of
if you prefer, you could try to pick his pocket, although if he catches
you...) and tell him about how things are in this area. He will tell you</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
to try to join up with the bandits in order to defeat them.
Drizzt: Area S-SW of Beregost (x 2644 y 2107)
- Kill Drizzt Do'Urden
Alternatively, you could kill Drizzt and take his neato items. Despite what
you may think, his armor is just standard enchanted chain mail. So no, you
can't case arcane spells while wearing it.
KyleEChu sent me this:
"Here's a tip I use all the time: The Best Way to Kill Drizzt!
The best time to do this is when your reputation is 14. Killing Drizzt
will incur the same penalty as killing an innocent. At 14, you only lose
5 points. Equip your entire party with projectile weapons, and stock up
on ammunition. Have everyone carry as much ammunition as they can. Ask
a sacrificial NPC to join. Garrick or Edwin are good for this purpose.
Now go to the area where Drizzt is (S-SW of Beregost) and position your
main party on the south edge of the small island in the middle of the
lake. The south shore of the lake should just be visible to them.
Select your sacrificial NPC and approach Drizzt. When he tries to talk
to you, lure him to the south shore of the lake so that your main party
can see him. Threaten Drizzt and he will attack, and most likely smash
your sacrificial NPC into pieces. He will not be able to reach the rest
of your party. Select your main party and let him have it! Because you
are low-level and he has a high AC, you need to practically rely on
critical hits to damage him. After you knock off his 96 HP, he finally
falls and you can go get his stuff."
edwardalacey had this to add:
"KyleEChu's method for killing Drizzt is very clever, but here is a piece
of advice which might help if anybody has trouble with it. When I tried
it I found that Drizzt came around the lake and killed me. The solution
turned out to be my "path search nodes" setting. It was 32000, which was
enough for the program to find a path around the lake, but when I turned
it down temporarily to the minimum 2000 using the configuration program
he could not get round and I could kill him."
Editor's Note: You change your "path search nodes" setting in the
Baldur.ini file in the Baldur's Gate directory (which
should be something like
C:\program files\black isle\baldur's gate\).
If you can't find it in the baldur.ini, you can add it
under [Program Options]
Path Search Nodes=2000
Juha Alm has another way to take out Drizzt:
Killing Drizzt: I know a way to kill Drizzt with no one getting hurt.
First have Drizzt stop walking by clicking on him as you would talk to
him. But don't talk, stop and let 4 of your NPC's walk next to him so he
cant move. Now go stand next to one of them. Remove the NPC from your
party, and because you're standing right next to him/her, he wont walk
towards you, only starts speaking. Now do this to the other 3 NPC's.
After done you'll have Drizzt trapped in the middle of 4 characters, and
he wont attack them because they are not in your party, and they are
civilians. Now just fire with magical arrows or take a long weapon
(spear, staff or halberd) and go stand behind one of your NPC's. You can
hit over him/her, and Drizzt can't hit you back because he can't reach
you with his scimitars. And when you kill him with only 1 or 2
characters in your party, the main character gains all of the 12000 (1
char) or "only" 6000 exp. with 2 characters on party.

you give him Bassilus' holy symbol, and you bring him wyvern heads)
Subquests:
- The Town Drunk
In the NW of the Area you will encounter a very drunk person, who demands
(none too wisely) all your money. He'll even claim that he is a LICH and
that he will smite you with his magic powers. It doesn't matter much how

things to say about Dynaheir. If you refuse him with Dynaheir in your
party he leaves forever.
Where he is: Nashkel (x 2883 y 2959)
Enemies: none
Plot:
- We're here mainly to get information about the troubles that we've been
hearing about. Talk to Berrun Ghastkill near the church, and he will tell
you that there are "demons" in the mines who prevent anything from being
mined there. He asks you to go into the mine and find what is wrong, and
deal with it. After you have cleared this Quest talk to Berrun again to
get your reward: 1000 exp, 900 gp, and a Reputation +1 (for more info see
section 6. Nashkel Revisited)
Berrun: Nashkel (x 2291 y 1298)
Subquests:
- Captain Brage
You will hear from the Priest of Helm of how Brage went insane and ran off.
For more info check out the Area S of Lighthouse sub-section.
- Oublek
Oublek will mistake you for the mercenary called GREYWOLF who was hired to
kill a local bandit named Tonquin. He then offers to give you 200 gp.
Refuse it by saying that you are not GREYWOLF, and you get a reputation +1.
Oublek: Nashkel (x 2813 y 1648)
- Joseph's Greenstone Ring Part 1
In a house you will find the wife of Joseph, if you ask her for any
information on the mines she will tell you to keep a look out for Joseph,
and that his identifying feature is his Greenstone Wedding Ring. If you
find the ring before talking to her, you may be unable to turn in the
quest. (see the Nashkel Mines section for more information) Return with
it, and give the Ring to her to get your reward: 800 exp.
Joseph's Wife: Nashkel (x 4224 y 2919)
Ring: Nashkel Mines Interior Third Level (x 1596 y 260)
- Minsc and Dynaheir
Near the town barracks you will find Minsc, who will join you if you offer
to help him free his life partner Dynaheir (he leaves if you spend too much
time not doing anything related to that quest). She was captured by Gnolls
and is currently being held in the Gnollish stronghold far to the west. If
you rescue her you also get 800 exp.
Minsc: Nashkel (x 3387 y 1957)
Dynaheir: Gnollish Stronghold (x 2529 y 1440)
- Noober
The most annoying person in the entire Realms can be found in Nashkel, and
his name is Noober. If you manage to put up with him long enough, he will
eventually "run out of things to say" and wander off. (after you get a
small reward of 400 exp) Personally I'm not usually that patient, and cast
Polymorph Other on him to let him live the rest of his life as a squirrel.
Such tough choices we have in life. This one is easier to do if you talk
to him instead of making him talk to you.
Noober: Nashkel (x 2400 y 3150)
Assassination Attempts: 1
Inside the Nashkel Inn (x 1372 y 611)

Other:
- Daer'Ragh isn't quite dead
Go look in the cemetery for the grave of "Mark D" and you will find that
its occupant isn't quite as dead as he pretends to be. If you keep
bothering the grave, he will summon a host of Phoenix Guards to kill you.
When you kill a Phoenix Guard, they immediately return, but if you kill
them again, they explode in a fireball. Nasty. If you are going to do
this, make sure that everyone in your party has a Protection from Fire on
them. He has nothing, and isn't worth much xp, so, it isn't really worth
trying.
Grave: Nashkel (x 2926 y 1285)
John Lucas has an interesting trick here:
If someone is wearing a Ring of Fire Resistance, and you cast the cleric
spell Protection from Fire on them, their fire resistance is now over
100% and they recover hit points from fire attacks. I think the ring
gives 50% protection and the spell gives 80% which adds up to 130% and
fire attacks display the message Character Name: Damage Taken (-5),
meaning you've recovered 5 hit points, or however many.
I'm still playing through the game, but the best use of this I've found
so far is in Nashkel with the Phoenix Guards, Oublek and some Amnish
soldiers. After the subquest with the artist formerly known as Prism and
Greywolf, you've got a choice of how to handle the return of the gems and
receiving your reward. You can give both gems to Oublek at the same
time, then kill him to get 4 gems (instead of 2) and about 3000 gp.
Note, one of the sections lacking from your faq is about Pick Pocketing
and all the good stuff you can get that way, but in this case, you can't
pick pocket the gems away from Oublek, but you can get the Phoenix Guards
to kill him for you (and hopefully some Amnish soldiers, too).
Just give the ring of fire resistance to a good fighter and cast
Protection from Fire (not the 1st level resist fire/cold). Make sure his
AC is as beefy as you can get it, and give him a good weapon like
Drizzt's +5 scimitar (+3 to hit and +2 to AC). Send all other party
members into a nearby building and click on the "Mark D" grave to summon
Daer'Ragh and the Phoenix Guards. Just stand beside Oublek and whack one
until he blows up. Oublek's dead. If there are any Amnish soldiers
around, they'll start attacking the PG. Move closer to the soldiers and
when a PG blow's, it'll kill the soldier and you can collect all his cool
stuff. Each soldier has armor, sword and bow you can sell, the coolest
non-magical helmet in the game (my character always wears one now),
over-sized arrow stacks (up to 30) and, on at least one occasion, one of
them had a spell scroll.
The beauty of all this is that if the PG are doing any damage to you at
all with their weapons (they are actually pretty wimpy except for the
exploding fireball death), the fireballs will be healing you. The
Protection from Fire spell lasts a good while, so you could wander up and
down the street with 3 or 4 PG following you, looking for more Amnish
soldiers if you wanted to.
As a side note, whenever a PG dies and explodes around other PG, the
living ones are also healed by the fireball. That is, each one gets
negative damage.
- Volo
You can find Volo in the Belching Dragon Tavern.
Volo: Nashkel (x 2761 y 2374)
- Free Ankheg Armor
Sure you can just make a set of Ankheg Armor, but here's a free set! Check
out the small hole in the west of the field to get it and a pearl.
Hole: Nashkel (x 187 y 2742)
- Winter Wolf Pelts (from Operador de Sala)
In the Nashkell store you can sell the wolf winter shells for 500 gp, the
merchant will ask automatically if you want to sell him the pelts, say yes.
It is a good way to get some money. There is no limit to the number of
pelts that he will buy.
Store: Nashkel (x 1693 y 834)

4a. Carnival [ACRNVL]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: I don't think that it is possible to win at gambling here, so don't try
it!
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Branwen 13 16 15 9 16 13 Human Cleric True Neutral
To get Branwen in your party all you have to do is to free her from the
Petrification enchantment that was placed on her by the Mage Tranzig. Free
her using a Stone to Flesh spell (you can buy them in Nashkel for 168gp or
from Zeke at the Carnival for 500gp).
Where she is: Nashkel Carnival (x 3253 y 2882)
Enemies: Kobolds, Ogres
Treasures: Knave's Robe (Zordral)
Plot:
- The only real reason to come here is if you need a Cleric, you can pick up
Branwen (see the Branwen subquest below).
Subquests:
- Branwen the Statue Cleric
You will find the Statue of Branwen near the center of the carnival. To
free her from the enchantment you have to use a Stone to Flesh spell. You
can buy a scroll either back in Nashkel (168gp) or from Zeke who is
standing a little to the SW (500gp). Once freed she will gladly join your
party.
Branwen: Carnival (x 3253 y 2882)
Zeke: Carnival (x 3052 y 3103)
- Zordral
It would seem that Zordral is convinced that Bentha is a witch, and is
about to kill her, when you enter the tent. You can't really talk him out
of it, so say options 1, then 1 again. He will get violent and attack you.
Kill him (900 exp, 2 spells, Knaves Robe, 79gp), and then talk to Bentha.
If you ask for a "trinket" she will give you an Antidote, if you ask for
information she tells you that Volo is staying in the Nashkel Inn. And if
you say that the deed was its own reward, she gives you the Antidote
anyway.
Zordral: Carnival (x 2271 y 3042)
Other:
- Lord Binky, the Buffoon
For some measure of entertainment you can talk to Binky. However, Binky
just wants to make fun of you, so don't expect anything profound from the
meeting.
Binky: Carnival (x 2003 y 3100)
- Vitiare the Thief
In a tent you will be robbed of 100 gp by Vitiare the Thief. Easiest way
to avoid this is to not go into the tent! Although since it is a thief,
you could steal from him (payback time). But for that, you'll have to kill
him. First, save your game. Equip all of your characters with ranged
weapons then, enter the tent and immediately, pause the game. Now tell one
of your fighters to go speak to him and unpause. If you did this right,
Vitiare won't move and will wait for your fighter to get near to initiate
the conversation. Once he steals 100 gp from you and tries to get away,
force-attack him with all of your party members. You have to be quick and
kill him before he gets to the exit of the tent or he'll be gone forever.
If he gets away, reload and try again. Killing him gives you: 12 xp, a
Dagger, 1 Healing Potion, 1 Potion of Master Thievery, 1 Potion of Agility
and 173 gp. Don't worry, you won't lose any reputation points for killing
him.
Vitiare: Carnival (x 1555 y 2928)
- The Merchants Two Potions
In one of the tents you will find a Merchant who sells "Wonders". But due
to the Iron Shortage, all he can sell are two potions, each for 50gp. One
is a Titan's Might potion which sets your Strength to 25, but takes your
Constitution and Dexterity down to 3. The other makes you smart as
Elminster (Int 25), but takes Strength and Wisdom down to 3. Each potion
lasts about 24 hours. So use caution before using one of these!
Personally, I suggest you sell them for 250 gp each (easy money for low
level characters at the start of the adventure).
Merchant: Carnival (x 1865 y 3518)
- The Great Gazib and The Amazing Oopah
The Great Gazib puts on quite a show each time you speak to him by making
his Ogre friend (Oopah) explode. Of course, on the third time, Oopah is
angry of exploding for puny pink weaklings and wants to smash their faces.
So be ready to fight Oopah the third time you speak to The Great Gazib.
Your reward: 270 xp for killing Oopah.
The Great Gazib and The Amazing Oopah: Carnival (x 1283 y 3202)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Xvarts, Cave Bears, Wolves
Treasures: Bracers AC 8 (Cave Bear Cave)
Flail +1 (Cave Bear Cave)
Plot:
- This area isn't that significant (unless you hate Xvarts), so we're just
passing through to get to the Gnollish Stronghold and Dynaheir.
Subquests: none
Other:
- Xvart Village
You will probably want to attack the Xvart Village here. When you
encounter the leader of the Xvarts, Nexlit, he will summon their protector,
a Cave Bear named Ursa.
Village: Area W of Nashkel (x 3540 y 1978)
- Cave Bear Cave
Just to the north of the Xvart village is a cave that contains one Cave
Bear and 3 treasures: Bracers AC 8, Potion of Fire Resistance, and a
Flail +1.
Cave: Area W of Nashkel (x 4256 y 909)
- Borda the travelling salesman
In the western part of this area (go west from the Xvart village) you will
find Borda, who wants to sell you a few things. If you buy something from
him, BEWARE, they will be cursed!
edwardalacey had this to add:
"Borda the cursed item salesman will attack you if threatened. You lose
no reputation for killing him, and you get 900 experience, 74 gold, Web,
Colour Spray, and Short Sword +1. However, he has magic resistance and
casts Mirror Image, so he will hit you with a few Magic Missiles before
you can damage him."
Borda: Area W of Nashkel (x 669 y 1482)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4c. Area N of Gnollish Stronghold [CRNFGN]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Ogre Berserkers, Hobgoblins, Gibberlings, Wild Dogs, Ogrillons, Ogres
Note: There are 2 bridges across the stream here, the southern bridge is
covered in the subquest "Jared and the Mountain Bear." The northern
bridge is guarded by Ogre Berserkers and Hobgoblin archers. It is a
much harder fight than you would think as they shoot poison arrows,
and the Ogre blocks your path on the bridge, so they can hide behind
him and shoot you freely. If you don't have a good set of ranged
attacks, I would skip it.
Treasures: Long Sword +1 (Neville the Bandit)
Boots of the North (Jared and the Mountain Bear)
Plot:
- We're just passing through here going to the Gnoll Fortress to the South.
Subquests:
- Neville the Bandit
How you talk to Neville completely changes the outcome. If you ask that
his men come out of hiding, he attacks you. (he is worth about 650 exp and
has a Long Sword +1 too) If you ask for all his gold, he steals some of
yours (but you get 100 exp from that action).
Neville: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 3796 y 852)
- Jared and the Mountain Bear
The nobleman Jared is deathly afraid of a Bear on the other side of the
south bridge here. Go across and kill the bear. Then return to Jared to
get your reward: Boots of the North, 150 exp. If you don't get the boots,
your CHA is too low.
Jared: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 4673 y 3665)
Bear: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 3215 y 3494)
Other:
- The Eating Ogre
There is an ogre by a fire who is not interested in fighting, all he seems
to want to do is munch. Talk to him twice to get him to fight you.
Ogre: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 415 y 920)
- Laurel and the Gibberlings (from Operador de Sala)
Laurel wants your help to kill some of these creatures, because they aren't
good. Then a Gibberlings band comes, kill all the Gibberlings you can see
(Laurel will attack them, too). When there are no more creatures talk
again with Laurel for your reward: 250 exp.
Laurel: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 1273 y 1113)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4d. Gnollish Stronghold (AR 5100) [DGNLLS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first visit the Gnollish Stronghold you get to watch a little
movie (on Disc 3) which reveals where the Gnolls put their prisoners, and
what happens to those prisoners as well. Also note that most the enemies
in the fort are constantly re-spawning, so even when you just kill a
group of gnolls they could almost immediately come back.
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Dynaheir 11 13 16 17 15 12 Human Invoker Lawful Good
Dynaheir was kidnapped by the Gnolls, and must be rescued with Minsc in
your party. She is also linked to Minsc and if one leaves, the other does
too. She makes a good mage because she already knows such spells as
Fireball. (depends on the level you get her at)
Where she is: Gnollish Stronghold (x 2529 y 1440)
Enemies: Gnolls, Half-Ogres, Xvarts, Carrion Crawlers, Gnoll Slashers, Gnoll
Veterans, Gnoll Chieftan
Treasures: Gauntlets of Dexterity (Gnarl, Hairtooth, and the Gauntlets of Dex)
The Tome of Leadership and Influence (Charisma +1)
Plot:
- There is only really one reason to come here, and that is Dynaheir. If you
are coming with Minsc you are coming to rescue her, if you are coming with
Edwin you are coming to kill her.
- From the bridge go straight west. (the southern path leads to two Xvart
caves, and the Tome, see Other below) Head up the stairs at (x 1462 y 1326),
and then go east to the pit at (x 2472 y 1265). Go down into the pit to
find Dynaheir.
- All you have to do now is to get out alive!
Subquests:
- Gnarl, Hairtooth, and the Gauntlets of Dexterity
Across the bridge are a couple of Half-Ogre guards named Gnarl and
Hairtooth and they want you to pay for the privelege of crossing their
bridge. At first they want 200 gold, but you can haggle down to 100. Or
you could just kill them. Each are worth 175 exp. Plus on one of the
bodies you will find the Gauntlets of Dexterity! (they set someone's
dexterity to 18, which will be a step up for most people, or a step down if
you are above 18)
Gnarl: Gnollish Stronghold (x 3814 y 2850)
Other:
- The Tome of Leadership and Influence (Charisma +1)
Just west of the bridge is a southern path which leads around the cliffside
to a set of two caves. In the eastern of the two caves are some healing
potions, spells, and the Tome of Leadership and Influence.

Dire Wolves, Flinds, Gnoll Elites
Treasures: Girdle of Bluntness (The Dryad and the Oak)
Halberd +1 (Dire Wolf Cave)
Plot:
- Nothing but a few subquests to do here. Also you can sell the Winter Wolf
pelts back in Nashkel for 500 gp.
Subquests:
- The Dryad and the Oak
The Dryad of Cloudpeak needs your help to save a "wondrous ancient oak"
from some villainy. Agree to help her, and then go a little to the SW to
find the tree and the two villains, Krumm and Caldo. Talk to the north
one, Caldo, and tell them that they'll have to go through you first. Kill
them. Krumm (the south one) has a Girdle of Bluntness. Talk to the Dryad
again to get your reward: Aura Cleansed (whatever that does), an Antidote,
500 exp, and a Reputation +1.
Dryad: Area SW of Nashkel (x 3591 y 1894)
2 villains: Area SW of Nashkel (x 3350 y 2065)
- Drienne's Cat
Just to the East of the waterfall you will find the girl Drienne crying
about her lost cat. Seems the cat fell into the waterfall and Drienne
can't find her. Go down and search the waterfall for the cat's body, and
then return it to Drienne. Turns out that this isn't the first time that
the cat has died, and been raised from the dead by her necromancer father!
As a reward you get: 200 exp, Reputation +1, and a Scroll (Protection from
Undead).
Drienne: Area SW of Nashkel (x 2084 y 2959)
Cat: Area SW of Nashkel (x 1760 y 3318)
Other:
- Ingot the Gnoll
Seems the Gnoll Ingot wanted to roast Dynaheir alive, while the rest of the
Gnolls did not, and so he was banished.
Ingot: Area SW of Nashkel (x 553 y 1185)
- Gnoll Territory
The Gnolls in the north of the area will demand 50 gold because you have
trespassed in their territory. You can pay if you want. They have better
than average treasures for Gnolls, but nothing great.
Gnolls: Area SW of Nashkel (x 3184 y 719)
- Dire Wolf Cave
Near the Oak Tree (see the Dryad and the Oak subquest above) is a cave.
Inside you will find a single Dire Wolf and a treasure box. Inside that
box is a Halberd +1, 298gp, and a Tiger Cowrie Shell Necklace.
Cave: Area SW of Nashkel (x 3141 y 2600)

Treasures: Long Sword +1 (Sendai of Amn)
Studded Leather +2 (Sendai of Amn)
Bracers of Archery (Vax and Zal, the Fastest Dart Thrower in West)
Plot:
- Just one subquests here, and some other odd things (like the Bracers of
Archery, see the Vax and Zal "other" below)
Subquests:
- Albert's Dog Rufie
Albert from Nashkel has lost his dog, and it is up to you to find him.
Agree to help Albert and he will give you a chew toy to "entice" Rufie
with. You will find Rufie a ways to the east (he looks like a red wolf).
When you have found him, he should follow you, now head back to Albert with
the dog (or wolf) in tow. Albert will turn into a demon (or something) and
take the dog with him back to hell, for your trouble you get: 1000 exp.
Alternatively: Kill Ruffie, then talk to Albert to get 1200 experience.
Albert: Area S of Nashkel (x 1315 y 999)
Rufie: Area S of Nashkel (x 3753 y 751)
Other:
- Larry and his two brothers (Darryl and Darryl)
In the SE of the Area you will find 3 creatures, an Xvart, a Kobold, and a
Tasloi. They are named, Larry, Darryl and Darryl. Talk to Larry (the
Kobold) and if you ask why they are there they wander off saying that you
are the "wrong generation". Or you could ask for their autograph, and they
will give it to you! If you don't get this joke, you probably never saw
the Bob Newhart Show.
Larry, Darryl, and Darryl: Area S of Nashkel (x 4213 y 3452)
- Sendai of Amn
Sendai is a prickly sort, and she happens to have a very low opinion of
everyone from the north of Amn. Depending on how you answer her you will
either end up in a fight, or she'll just wander off. She has a lot of good
treasures on her, plus is worth a bit of experience, but CAUTION she has
two companions with bows and magic arrows! So if you fight them, quickly
move your fighters up to the archers to take out their effectiveness.
(Alexander--300 exp, Scale, Hemlet, 29gp, Healing Potion, Long Bow, 30
Arrows +1; Sendai--600 exp, Long Sword +1, Studded Leather +2, Helmet,
Small Shield, 172gp; Delgod--300 exp, Scale, 30 Arrows +1, Long Bow, War
Hammer)
Sendai: Area S of Nashkel (x 3103 y 887)
- Vax and Zal (the fastest Dart Thrower in the West)
Once you have encountered these two, you've seen just about everything.
Vax will come up to you and demand all your money, on account that Zal
could throw darts at you really fast. If you don't want to part with your
money you'll have to fight them. (Zal--600 exp, Scale, Bracers of Archery,
Darts, 49gp; Vax--400 exp, Scale, 2 Heal Potions, Halberd, 107gp)
Vax and Zal: Area S of Nashkel (x 1270 y 2627)
- Blurry Ledge (edwardalacey)
In the area south of Nashkel (where you get the Bracers of Archery), there
is what looks like a rather blurry ledge. In it is Chromatic Orb and the
hard-to-find Cloudkill.

5. The Nashkel Mines (Exterior) [5NSHKL]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Wolves, Winter Wolves, Kobolds, War Dogs, Ghasts
Treasures: Long Sword +2 (Prism's Final Masterpiece)
Wand of Frost (Wand of Frost)
Plot:
- We're here to investigate the strange goings-on in the Mines. To enter the
mines talk to Emerson at (x 978 y 1125). Then talk to one of the Amnish
soldiers guarding the mines to get rid of two of them, and finally you
enter the mine (x 1202 y 665).
Subquests:
- Prism's Final Masterpiece
You will finally find Prism working on his last piece here. He had to
steal some of the materials to make this, and so has the bounty hunter
Greywolf after him. Tell him that you are not associated with Greywolf,
and agree to help defend him so that he can complete his work. Not long
after that Greywolf will show up, and will demand that you hand Prism over
to him. Don't. He'll attack you then, beat him (1400 exp, Studded
Leather, Long Sword +2, 102gp). Prism finished his work, but doesn't live
long to enjoy it. You get: 1000 exp, and Reputation +1. Search his body
for 3gp and 2 Emeralds.
edwardalacey sent me this:
"After dealing with Greywolf and Prism, you can take Prism's emeralds to
Oublek for a reward of 200 experience and 300 gold. Interestingly, you
can drop one on the ground, claim the reward, pick it up, and claim the
reward again."
Editor's Note: Or you could claim the reward once, and sell the other
Emerald for 750 gp.
Terry deBoer has a different approach to this:
After getting the emeralds from Prism, take them to Oublek and give him
both at once. After that, just kill him and he will not only have the
two on his person, but another two have appeared as well! Selling all
four, plus the 2000+ gold Oublek carries gets you over 5000 gold, more
than enough to bribe your rep back up. It's risky though; it's best to
charm him and lead him away, or the whole town will see your act.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Xan 13 16 7 17 14 16 Elf Enchanter Lawful Neutral
Xan is a depressing person, but he is a capable mage (although he has the
very large flaw of not being able to cast such spells as Magic Missile and
Fireball!) and he has a Moonblade. If you're overly rude to him he'll
leave and never return.
Where he is: Nashkel Mines Interior (Fourth Level, Cave x 793 y 588)
Enemies: Kobolds, Huge Spiders, Kobold Commandos, Ghoul, Skeletons, Gray Oozes
Treasures: Ring of Holiness (Fourth Level)
Short Sword +1 (Fourth Level)
Note for Nashkel Mines: Any monster that'll kill in these mines will not
respawn so you can go back to town for resupplying,
healing or resting.
Walkthrough:
Entry Level: Head south through the passages until you get to the Door to
the next level (x 2106 y 1834). There's only two Kobolds to
kill on this level and they are near the exit to the second
mine level.
Second Level: When you first arrive here, Miner Beldin will run up to you
yelling that the yipping demons (kobolds) are after him.
Shortly they appear and attack (usually killing) him. From
the entrance head NE along the passage until you can't go east
anymore, then head south to the Door to the next Level at
(x 3569 y 2559)
Third Level: This level has a lot of traps, so you must be cautious. Head
south to the Bridge (you'll know it when you see it). Careful
while crossing for the Bridge is trapped! Now head east
through the third passage you find (x 1450 y 2500). There
will be some Kobold Commandos shooting their Arrows of Fire at
you (ouch!). This next room has three traps in it so have a
Thief disarm them. If you can't disarm them, you won't be
able to avoid them. So send whoever has the most hitpoints to
go trigger the traps, then go through the Door to the next
Level (x 3444 y 2338).
Fourth Level: Head northeast and then cross the bridge, and go into the
cave. There will be three rooms in here, a north room, an
east room, and a south room. There are usually some monsters
to clear out first. If you need a mage go into the
east room first and talk to Xan there to get him to join.
Then go into the south room and talk to Mulahey there. It
doesn't really matter what you say as he eventually will call
the guards in either case. He will "summon" more kobolgs and
skeletons to aid him. Don't believe him when he wants to
surrender, just kill him. Loot his body (you NEED the Holy
Symbol to collect the Bounty, and the Ring of Holiness gives
your cleric +1 spell for every level 1-4). Also be sure to
loot the treasure chest he has there too (2 Healing Potions,
790 gp, Short Sword +1, lots of spells, etc.). Take the
scrolls in the chest to start Chapter Three.
Getting Out: Now you have a choice, you can either go back out the way you
came in, or you can continue to the Second Exit. To go to the
2nd Exit, go out of the cave, across the bridge, then north.
Follow that path until you reach the exit. Warning! Once you
go out that way, you can't come back in! It exits out into
the Area NE of Nashkel Mines area.
Subquests:
- Kylee's Dagger (Entry Level, Second Level)
A miner will come up to you and ask for you to give a dagger to Kylee,
agree and he'll give you the dagger. Give it to Kylee, who is on the
Second Level to get your reward: 200 exp.
Miner: Entry Level (x 1185 y 1684)

Chainmail +1 (Tomb 2)
Wand of Monster Summoning (Tomb 2)
Dagger +2 (Hentold and the Stolen Dagger)
Plot:
- This is the Exit area for the Nashkel Mines. If you want a good fight,
walk north and take on the assassination attempt. Also there are some
interesting tombs around here. Otherwise just head west to go back to
civilization.
Subquests:
- Hentold and the Stolen Dagger
Near the South Center of the area you will find a would-be tomb raider
named Hentold. Seems that he stole a dagger from a tomb and ever since has
been pursued by its previous owner! He gives you the dagger to give back
to the creature that was following him. Go a little to the east to reach
the cave, go inside and the creature will ask for the dagger back, and once
it has it, it will die. You get 900 exp for your trouble. However, you
may want to simply kill the foul creature and get 3000 exp instead. Plus
you get to keep the dagger. Feel free to loot this cave too. Just because
the last person who did so suffered from a terrible curse doesn't mean that
you will too!
Hentold: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 1328 y 2987)
Crypt: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 1905 y 2838)
- Narcillicus Harwilliger Neen and the Ooze
Near the SE of the Area you will find the Mage Narcillicus experimenting on
making a more effective Ooze. Ask him for a copy of the spell and he
attacks you. Kill him (1400 exp) and his two Mustard Jellies. Then take
the spells off his body (lightning bolt, web). If you don't ask for the
spell, he will summon 3 green slimes and run away.
Narcillicus: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 3784 y 2784)

Enemies: Gibberlings, Dire Wolves, Winter Wolves, Dread Wolves, Cave Bears
Plot:
- Only a few things to do here, pick up Samuel and talk to Hafiz.
Subquests:
- Lena and the body of Samuel
Near the center of the Area you will find the noblewoman Lena and her
injured friend Samuel. She wants you to take the body of Samuel to the
Friendly Arm Inn's Temple of Wisdom where Gellana (the cleric there) can
cure Samuel. Agree to do so. When you talk to Gellana she'll take Samuel
off you, and give you your reward: 500 exp, Reputation +1, and 2 potions.
However, if you don't hurry up to the Friendly Arm Inn, Samuel will die
before you get there and you get no reward.
Samuel: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 3138 y 2278)
Gellana: Friendly Arm Inn (x 3882 y 2403)
Other:
- Hafiz
You will find the Old Dwarf Hafiz near the NW corner of this area. You can
trust him, he won't try to kill you. He'll ask for your name, tell it to
him and he'll reveal that his dreams have been about you. Next he wants to
know your life story, choose the bottom option to tell him your story, and
he will give you a Protection from Magic scroll.
Hafiz: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 830 y 905)
- Flaming Fist
There is a Flaming Fist soldier in the western part of the Area. He asks
you to identify yourselves, and then says that he is looking for a deserter
named Samuel. He'll give you a measely 50gp if you turn Samuel in. You're
better off taking Samuel to the healer for Lena.
Flaming Fist: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 213 y 2480)
- Ring of Fire Resistance (from Duncan Clay)
In a crack in the cliffs around the middle of the map is a Ring of Fire
Resistance, a Star Sapphire and an Ion Gem.

6. Nashkel Revisited [6NSHKR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treasures: Boots of Avoidance (Assassination Attempts)
Short Sword +1 (Assassination Attempts)
Plot:
- We've come back to Nashkel to receive our reward for killing Mulahey and
clearing out the mines. Talk to Berrun near the church to get your
reward: 1000 exp, 900 gp, and a Reputation +1. Also make sure to go kill
Nimbul to get his wonderful Boots of Avoidance.
Assassination Attempts: 1
Near the Nashkel Inn (x 1224 y 717)
Careful with this one, he casts Fear on you, which makes your people unable
to fight.
Nimbul -- 650 exp, Boots of Avoidance, Ring, Short Sword +1, 58 gp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Beregost Revisited [7BRGTR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treasures: Ring of Protection +1 (Plot, Third Item -- Tranzig)
Wand of Magic Missiles (Plot, Third Item -- Tranzig)
Plot:
- When you re-enter Beregost after having cleared the Mines, Elminster will
come up and talk to you again. He reveals that the Bandits are in the
North East. Great.
- Also Chloe, a mere child, will come up and tell you to meet someone in the
Jovial Juggler Inn. Don't worry, it's not another Assassination attempt!
It's just Officer Vai of the Flaming Fist. Go inside the Jovial Juggler,
and Officer Vai will come right up to you. She asks for your help in
hunting down all the bandits, and will pay you a bounty of 50 gp for each
Bandit Scalp that you give her. (you can also sell her books and Winter
Wolf pelts--at full price, no less!)
Jovial Juggler: Beregost (x 3768 y 3626)
- We also have to pay a visit to the Bandits informer in Beregost (assuming
you read the letters that you got from Mulahey), who is in the Feldepost's
Inn. You will find Tranzig on the second floor, in the first room to the
south of the stairs. Go in his room and talk to him. Set your party up
around him before you talk to him. (makes for easy killing later!) Tell
him that you know all about him, and that you aren't afraid of him. He'll
attack. No matter what happens your map will be updated showing the
location of the secret bandit camp. (i.e. he doesn't need to live!) Plus
you get 975 exp, Ring of Protection +1, Wand of Magic Missiles, 91 gp, and
a Scroll.
Feldepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
Tranzig: Feldepost's Inn Second Floor (x 196 y 572)
Note: If you sleep in the Inn here, you will have another Dream, and gain
another ability, again Cure Light Wounds (or Larloch's Minor Drain).

Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Shar-Teel 18/58 17 9 14 7 11 Human Fighter Chaotic Evil</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
When you first meet up with Shar-Teel she challenges your "Best Male
Fighter" (this seems to be randomly chosen) to a duel. If you don't have a
Male, you can't get her. If you turn her down, she leaves forever.
Where she is: Area E of Temple (x 273 y 303)
Enemies: Gnoll Slashers, Lesser Basilisks, Basilisks (Korax is very useful
against these as he can't be petrified!), Tasloi, Brown Bears, Black
Bears,
Treasures: Adventurer's Robe (Mutamin's Basilisks)
2 Long Swords +1 ¯¯|
Golden Girdle |__ Kirian the Adventurer
Bracers AC 7 |
Morningstar +1 __|
Plot:
- This is a good place to pick up some experience via Basilisk Hunting.
Simply go pick up Korax (see Other below) and start hunting! Save a lot,
as well, since the Basilisks can kill instantly.
If you have a mage, and don't want to use Korax, go to High Hedge and buy
the Protection from Petrification spell. Memorize that 6 times (or as many
as you can), protect everyone in your party, and go to town.
Subquests:
- Tamah
Tamah was fighting some Gnolls and was turned to stone by some basilisks.
Free her using a Remove Petrification spell/scroll to get your reward of:
300 exp, and a Reputation +1.
Tamah: Area E of Temple (x 1410 y 870)
- Mutamin's Basilisks
You will encounter Mutamin in the North Central part of the Area. He is
the creator and maintainer of these Basilisks (probably to avoid
solicitors). Careful! He has a Greater Basilisk and a Lesser Basilisk by
him! He only wants to turn you to stone forever, no biggie. Kill him and
take his things (1200 exp, Adventurer's Robe, 120 gp, 2 Heal Potions, 2
spells) Also note that the Greater Basilisk by him gives 7000 exp not
the regular 4000.
Mutamin: Area E of Temple (x 2158 y 866)
- Kirian the Adventurer (and friends)
Another band of Adventurer's can be found around here, and they seem a
little unimpressed with you. Depending on how you answer, they either
leave or fight you. There are four of them, one has a bow, two fighters,
and a mage. They aren't an easy fight if you attack them straight on.
However, if you stand aways back and launch fireballs at them, they aren't
so tough. Or, failing that, just charge the mage first, then the archer.
Treasures: (Lindin--600 exp, Plate Mail, Shield, 2 Potions, Long
Sword + 1, 76gp; Kirian--900 exp, Golden Girdle, Bracers AC 7, Long
Sword +1, 3 spells, 163 gp; Baerin--300 exp, Scale, Long Bow, Magic Arrows,
49 gp; Peter--1200 exp, Chain, 2 potions, Shield, Morningstar +1, 97gp)
Kirian: Area E of Temple (x 3047 y 1932)
Other:
- Korax the Ghoul
There is a "friendly" Ghoul here who goes by the name of Korax. Say the
last option to him, and he will be considered "Dire Charmed" (in other
words you can order him around). He is useful in fighting the basilisks
since they can't turn him to stone, therefore the Basilisks can't really
hurt him! The only problem with this is you don't really see what Korax is
doing if you move him off the screen, so you have to send someone with him.
Once you find a Basilisk, hide that person and let Korax handle it.
Eventually he will turn against you, so once you get him try to be quick
with your Basilisk hunting.
Korax: Area E of Temple (x 441 y 1466)
Note: If you want you can go to the Halfling city of Gullykin to the south, and
from there to the Firewine bridge, but those areas will be covered later.

Treasures: Boots of Stealth (The Hobgoblin's Boots of Stealth)
Flail +1 (Icharyd)
Plot:
- Ulcaster has some interesting ruins to explore, the path to the top of the
cliff on which Ulcaster is located is at (x 3121 y 1974).
- The Entrance to Ulcaster Dungeon can be found at (x 3054 y 675)
Subquests:
- Furret's Gem
In the NW of the Area you will encounter a Halfling named Furret. He has a
bridge... I mean, a Gem that he wants to sell you. A magic gem he claims.
You really don't want to spend 1000 gp on a Turquoise gem do you? It isn't
magic! You can kill Furret with no loss of reputation.
Furret: Ulcaster (x 150 y 950)
- The Wraith of Ulcaster
Near the Entrance to the Dungeon of Ulcaster you will find the Wraith of
Ulcaster. Talk to him a bunch of times until your journal is updated.
What he wants is a book (any book) from the Dungeon. Return with the book
to get your reward: 1000 exp.
TRICK: (from Ghostly) But this book can also be found TWICE in Gullykin
houses. If you bring Ulcaster those two books, one by one as with
the Ankheg head in Beregost, you'll get another 1000 xp each time!
Wraith: Ulcaster (x 2809 y 741)
- The Vampiric Sword
If you have both the Ancient Armor from the Firewine Ruins and the Idol of
Kozah, then when you talk to the Ghost of Ulcaster, he will automatically
exchange these two items for the Vampiric Sword. ("The Vampire's Revenge"
is the swords real name, and it isn't that great of a weapon, just
something to do if you haven't done it before)
NOTE: If you have trouble getting this item, I'm pretty sure that it isn't
in all versions of the game. Also, you MUST have killed the
Doomsayer when you got the Idol.
Wraith: Ulcaster (x 2809 y 741)
Other:
- The Hobgoblin's Boots of Stealth
A Hobgoblin near the Center of the Area has some Boots of Stealth on him,
kill him and make them yours.
Hobgoblin: Ulcaster (x 2051 y 2628)
- Icharyd
When I left Ulcaster I was attacked by Icharyd, a Skeletal Warrior. (950
exp, Flail +1) I'm not sure if he's event triggered, or I just didn't see
him until then.
Icharyd: Ulcaster (x 4252 y 1256)

south end of the room. Beware the Fireball trap in the room at (x 460
y 1500). Just past the Second Corpse Treasure is yet another Fireball
trap. (x 1240 y 1435) In the room with the Pile of Corpses is another

Plot:
- Just a few subquests here.
Subquests:
- Hulrik, the Xvarts, and the Cows
The farmer Hulrik is having a dreadful time with the Xvarts lately, they
tend to attack and kill his prize winning cows! Fight off the Xvarts to
get your reward: 350 exp, Reputation +1 (If you fail to save the cow, you
get nothing!)
Hulrik: Area S of Ulcaster (x 2884 y 2982)
- Ioin Gallchobhair
A bandit by the odd name of Ioin wants you to pay the toll for passing this
way, and that toll is your life. Pleasant fellow. I assume that you don't
want to hand over your life, so fight them. (Dribben--150 exp, Scalp, Long
Bow, Minor Treasures; Billy--300 exp, Scalp, Long Bow, Magic Arrows, Minor
Treasures; Ioin--300 exp, Scalp, Minor Treasures)
Ioin: Area S of Ulcaster (x 3126 y 1710)
- Sarhedra's Ogres
Talk to Sarhedra (she's near the East of the Area) and she'll tell you to
go kill Ogres to the south of there. Do just that, return and get your
reward: 300 exp.
Sarhedra: Area S of Ulcaster (x 4758 y 1747)
Other:
- Arghain
Arghain the Half-Ogre wants your iron and maybe to kill you for fun. Kill
him instead (520 exp, Scalp, Two Handed Sword +1, Minor Treasures), and
beat up on his clan of Half-Ogres.
Arghain: Area S of Ulcaster (x 1154 y 1190)
- Corpse
There is a corpse, who was probably killed by all these Ogres around here,
who has some treasures: Heal Potion, 59 gp, Oil of Speed.
Corpse: Area S of Ulcaster (x 4390 y 2759)
- Ettercap's Treasure (from GRiM)
The area in question is that south of Ulcaster. There's a cave with an
ettercap inside and just outside is one of those hidden sections you'd only
discover by waving your cursor over it. It's what appears to be a rock, if
memory serves, (x 1573, y 1486) and within it lies a water opal.
Cave: Area S of Ulcaster (x 1550, y 1300)

- Ajantis 17 13 16 12 13 17 Human Paladin Lawful Good
Ajantis is a simple person, all he wants to do is vanquish evil.
Where he is: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 1572 y 3139)
Enemies: Bandits, Ankhegs (Ankheg shells can either be sold or made into an
armor, see the Beregost section for more information)

Wand of Fire ¯¯|
Chain Mail +1 |
Dagger +1 |-- (Farmer Brun's Son, Cave of the Ankhegs')
Dart of Stunning |
Dart of Wounding __|
Plot:
- We're here to pick up the NPC Ajantis (if you want a Paladin, that is), and
to do the subquests here.
Subquests:
- The Fishermen and the Sea Priestess
Seems that whenever these fishermen get out on their boat, a horrible storm
appears and disrupts their fishing activity. They blame the Priestess of
Umberlee, Tenya, for cursing them unjustly--or so they claim. Agree to
help them, and go north again to the Baldur's Gate Bridge. (unless you want
to fight a lot of Ankhegs, when you go north, stay as far to the west as
you can manage!) Don't actually cross the bridge, but head as far north as
you can manage. Once you have found the Priestess' cottage, save it, and
move the members of your party around her. Talk to her, and say that you
have come to end her "villainous deeds". After a short battle, she should
talk to you (if you killed her, reload!) and tells you that the fishermen
are the real menace here (she's no innocent either). Go back, talk to the
fishermen and demand the bowl, then kill the fishermen, and take their
Flail +1. Give the Bowl to the Priestess to get your reward: 2500 exp.
Fishermen: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 700 y 2643)
Priestess: Baldur's Gate Bridge (x 3989 y 720)
- Farmer Brun's Son (or the Cave of the Ankheg's)
Just to the East of the Fishermen you will find Farmer Brun. It seems that
his son has gone missing. Agree to help him. Go a little to the west to
what appears to be a giant pit in the ground, and go into it. Go down the
tunnels to the east, when you get the option, you usually want to take the
north path. Eventually you will find a treasure horde, in which you will
find Wand of Fire, Chain Mail +1, Dagger +1, Dart of Stunning, Dart of
Wounding, 2 spells (Dire Charm and Ghost Armor), 3 potions (Cloud Giant
Strength, Antidote, and Magic Protection), 560 gp, and Nathan's corpse.
(In case you are wondering, there is nothing else down here except for more
Ankheg's) Return with the corpse to Farmer Brun's to get your reward:
500 experience points.
NCPFLJohn sent me this:
"After you bring farmer brun his son back from the ankheg pit talk to him
again and chose to give him 100gp because it is weighing you down. He
will graciously accept your money and give you 1000 exp and a reputation
+1."
Farmer Brun: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 3492 y 2328)
Ankheg Pit: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 2137 y 2404)
Nathan's Body: Ankheg Pit (x 2458 y 137)
Other:
- Gerde and the Ankheg Fighting
You may find Gerde around. She explains a few things about Ankheg's and
will let you hunt up to 9 of them. Kill every Ankheg that you can find on
the screen and she will give you 75 gp.
- There are some various minor treasures locked in the 3 houses here.
Nothing more than about 32 gp though.
Note: The Baldur's Gate Bridge is important later, and we will come back this
way again.
You CANNOT enter Baldur's Gate itself until after the Cloakwood Mine in
chapter 5.

8. On the Trail of Bandits (Area N of Beregost Revisited) [8NTHTR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot:
- Go to the downed Caravan (x 4291 y 2528), there will be a bunch of bandits
there. Kill them, and scalp them. Now go east and out of the Area to the
Larswood Forest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8a. Larswood [ALRSWD]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Gibberlings, Bandits, Black Talon Elites, Wild Dogs, Dire Wolves,
Wolves, Brown Bears,
Plot:
- We're here looking for bandits, and there are two ways to go about this.
When you find Teven (x 1458 y 2245) you have the option of either joining
(say the most bloodthirsty thing on there), or attacking. If you skipped
by Tranzig you may want to join so that you can find the camp. But if
you'd rather just attack, well go for it! (975 exp, Minor Treasure)
- If you joined up with Teven skip down to section 9. Bandit Camp, if not
continue on through Peldvale, and from there to the Bandit Camp.
Subquests:
- Osmadi's Mistake
In the North East of the Area is a Druid shrine that was being built, but
the builder's were mostly killed by bandits. One of the survivors, Osmadi,
mistakes you for those bandits, and no matter what you say attacks you,
which pretty much forces you to kill him. (1000 exp, 12 gp, Leather Armor)
Afterwords talk to the Druid Corsone to find out exactly what happened
here.
Jon WolF has this to add:
Well, yes, you can talk to him to find out what happened. Unless you
press him, he'll lie however. If you press him, he'll finally confess
to having poisoned Osmadi (which expalins why he helps you kill
Osmadi). Of course having confessed to being a murderer, he'll then
want to kill you as well.
This also makes Seniyad's warning (Cloakwood Forest) about the Shadow
Druids much more credible.
Osmadi: Larswood (x 4678 y 674)

When you first encounter Viconia she asks you to help her with a small
matter of the Flaming Fist trying to kill her. Help her out and she offers
to join. However, if you turn Viconia down when she asks to join, she
vanishes forever. Once she joins your reputation goes down 2.

(on Disc 4) of some Gnolls and a human prisoner.
Companions: none
Enemies: Wild Dogs, Chill Hobgoblins (same as normal Hobgoblins, but can also
be scalped), Bandits, Gnoll Veterans, Flinds, Gnoll Slashers, Zombies,
Skeletons
Treasures: Bow of Marksmanship (Plot, Third Item, Hakt)
Full Plate ¯¯|
Medium Shield +1 |-- Taugosz Khosann
War Hammer +1 __|
Plot:
- If you joined up with the Bandits, you will have to prove your worth to
Tazok by fighting him. Win and he lets you wander around the camp.
- Eventually we want to get rid of Tazok. He is hiding in the Big Tent
(x 3588 y 900). As you near the tent you will be attacked by its defenses
(which may or may not include Taugosz, see subquests below).
- Inside you will find 4 enemies and that prisoner that you saw in the
opening movie (the one that opened the area anyway), be sure not to kill
the prisoner (so don't shoot off random fireballs). Here's what you get
from each enemy. (by the way, you may want to get that Mage first, he tends
to cast Horror, which causes your party to run around like chickens with
their heads cut off.) Too bad Tazok wasn't here...
Venkt: 900 exp, 3 spells, Robe, 2 potions, 92gp
Raemon: 1200 exp, Scalp, Composite Long Bow, Magic Arrows, 1gp
Hakt: 750 exp, Bow of Marksmanship, Leather Armor, 62gp
Britik: 900 exp, Gold Ring, Jade Ring, Garnet Gem, Halberd
- Now talk to the prisoner here who will explain just a little bit more about
the bandit groups, and also tell you that your next place to search is the
Cloakwood Forest.
- Finally open up that big treasure chest to the left. It is trapped and a
lightning bolt will shoot out. (you may want to disarm the trap) Take the
scrolls to get to Chapter 4. There is also 2000 gp in here and some
spells.
Subquests:
- Taugosz Khosann
Usually hiding out by the big Tent (x 3588 y 900), this nasty fighter has a
large number of neat treasures after you defeat him. Treasures: 2000 exp,
Full Plate, M. Shield+1, War Hammer+1, 105gp.
Other:
- Treasures
Regardless of how you got here, you probably want to kill everyone and
steal everything. On the exterior map are a lot of little chests, bags,
etc., with a lot of minor treasures (30-40 gp, daggers). As you get closer
to the Big Tent (where Tazok is hiding) the treasures get better, Magic
Short Swords, and Shields, more gold, potions, etc. All the chests are
invariably locked, so I hope you have a good thief handy! (or a Knock
spell)
- Huts
Inside each of the huts you may find enemies, and some more minor
treasures.
- Cave
You can go inside the Cave at (x 2411 y 683). Inside are some Gnolls that
are being punished by Tazok. They started a brawl a few nights ago.
- Treasures in the Big Tent
In addition to the main treasure chest (the one that is trapped) in the Big
Tent, you can also find a potion and about 700 gp in there.

9a. Area E of Larswood (AR 3000) [ARFLRS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Beware of Web Traps that may be in the area!
Companions: none
Enemies: Giant Spiders, Wraith Spiders, Ettercaps, Huge Spiders, Tasloi, Sword
Spiders, Phase Spiders,
Treasures: Ring of Energy (Red Wizards)
Robes of various minor types (Red Wizards)
Plot:
- Just a subquest and some wizards here. Also a good place to get experience
if you like to fight Spiders.
Subquests:
- Fahrington's Scroll
The Sage Fahrington had his Scroll of Wisdom stolen by a naughty Tasloi,
who took off to the east and was killed by Ettercaps. Go east, kill the
Ettercaps and retrieve the Scroll (it is a Scroll of Protection, although
you may find other random scrolls). Take the scroll back to Fahrington to
get your reward: 300 exp, and he lets you keep the Scroll. By the way, the
scroll is cursed.
Fahrington: Area E of Larswood (x 1473 y 1067)
Ettercap: Area E of Larswood (x 3527 y 605)
Other:
- The Red Wizards
In the Ruins in the center of the Area are the Red Wizards. They don't
like people, and if you go near them they attack. Your best bet to beating
them without getting hurt at all is to approach them from the north, and
when you see the 3 wizards, stop, and launch a fireball or two at them.
Once all 4 wizards are dead, go in and collect the booty:
Denak--1200 exp, Ring of Energy, Robe, 2 Heal Potions, 102gp
Diana--600 exp, Robe, 2 spells, 81gp
Lasla--30 exp, Robe, 2 spells, 81gp
Brendann--300 exp, Robe, 2 spells, 81gp
Note: If you have Edwin in your party, the Wizards won't attack you
since Edwin is a Red Wizard. (from Jones)
Ruins: Area E of Larswood (x 1726 y 1566)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Back to Beregost [10B2BR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot:
- We now need to go back to Beregost to pick up our reward from Officer Vai
for having killed off the Bandits. (reputation +1) Of course you have to
sell her your scalps first...
Sergio D. Morozov notes the following:
Officer Vai gives reward to the party and leaves only after party gets
letters from Bandit Camp AND if party speaks to her WITHOUT any bandit
scalps in inventory. Thus it is possible to have her present for the
remainder of the game and sell her goods - party just should not speak to
her without bandit scalps in inventory.
Officer Vai pays:
50 gp for each Bandit Scalp
500 gp for each Winter Wolf Pelt
1000 gp for each Wyvern head
After this we have a choice of doing some more areas around here, or going
straight up to Cloakwood. The walkthrough will go to the Lighthouse, but feel
free to skip straight to Cloakwood. To get to the Lighthouse we have to go to
the Area W of High Hedge first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10a. Area W of High Hedge (AR 3100) [ARWFHH]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Wolves, Ghasts, Dire Wolves, Ogrillons, Half-Ogres, Ogres, Ogre
Berserkers, Carrion Crawlers, Ghouls, Kobolds, Sirines (be careful of
these, they tend to cast Improved Invisibility and Dire Charm)
Treasures: Helmet of Defense (Shoal the Nereid)
Plot:
- Just a few subquests to do here.
Subquests:
- Shoal the Nereid
Shoal the Nereid is "lost" and asks for your help to find her way. Agree
to help her and she asks for a kiss to show her affection. Have someone
(NOT your main character!) kiss her, and she will blast them into a hundred
pieces. After that, attack her until she talks to you again. She says
that it isn't her intention to kill you. Ask her to restore your companion
back to life, and she will do it. She then explains that she is the
prisoner of an Ogre Mage who holds her _shawl_ and therefore she is a slave
to his cruel will. (you may want to get your companion's gear back from
the ground) The Ogre Mage will come to investigate the goings-on here, and
you will have to attack him. Kill Droth (975 exp, Helmet of Defense,
150gp) and then talk to Shoal to get a reward: 750 exp.
Tip: You can pickpocket a pearl off of Shoal. (Yamian)
Shoal: Area W of High Hedge (x 2931 y 506)
- Mad Arcand's Crazy Adventures
Arcand the Mad (aka Mad Arcand) will also be standing there waiting for you
to arrive (why don't any of these NPC's seem to ever do anything except
wait for you to talk to them?). Talk to him and he asks you to retrieve an
item from a Pirate Ship that will "make you like me". Sounds great. Who
wouldn't want to be crazy. Head west and a little to the south to find the
wrecked ship. You'll find the treasure at the front of the boat. You will
find a Ring. This is the Ring of Folly. A cursed ring. DO NOT PUT IT ON!
Take it back to Mad Arcand to get your reward: 300 exp, and an Oil of
Fiery Burning.
Mad Arcand: Area W of High Hedge (x 2002 y 1275)
Pirate Ship: Area W of High Hedge (x 859 y 1598)
Other:
- The Surgeon
Standing there like a post is the Surgeon, a man clad in black who will
heal your party for no particularly good reason other than the fact that he
can. Sounds great! Ask him the 3rd option and he will give you a potion
before healing you (Potion of Magic Protection).
Surgeon: Area W of High Hedge (x 2884 y 2079)

- Safana 13 17 12 16 9 17 Human Thief Chaotic Neutral
Safana wants to find some treasure in the Flesh Golem cave, and afterwords
she will stay with you forever.
Where she is: Lighthouse (x 3750 y 2390)
Enemies: Sirines, Worgs, Dread Wolves, Hobgoblins, Hobgoblin Elites, Taslois,
Carrion Crawlers, Flesh Golems
Treasures: Darts of Wounding ¯¯|
Cloak of the Wolf |__ Flesh Golem Cave
Wand of Paralyzation |
Manual of Bodily Health __|
Plot:
- There's a decent (and sensual!) thief here and some really neat treasures
(see the Flesh Golem Cave in Other below).
Subquests:
- Ardrouine's Lost Boy
Ardrouine has lost her son in the Lighthouse, and now can't go up there to
find him because there are Worgs up there. Go north from her to get to the
Lighthouse, there you must kill all the Worgs. You won't find any trace of
the boy. I am guessing that you know what happened to him. Yep, he's
hiding up in the lighthouse itself and won't come down for mere bloody
adventurers! Go back to Ardrouine to get your reward: 500 exp, 60 gp, and
a Reputation +1.
Ardrouine: Lighthouse (x 1414 y 3681)
Lighthouse Ruins: Lighthouse (x 1100 y 2950)
Other:
- Pallonia, the Bitterest Seer
Near the center of the Area you will be approached by a seer named
Pallonia, but she doesn't offer you any useful information, merely telling
that there are mighty forces at work in the world.
Pallonia: Lighthouse (x 3425 y 1580)
- Arkushule, the Reluctant Seer
There is another Seer south of Pallonia. This one will start to read your
palm, but just when she gets to something interesting, she stops and wants
her money. Seems she saw something that scared her, and she won't tell you
what. If you demand to know, she will attack you (600 exp, Robe, 1 Spell,
38 gp) or you can just give her the money (she'll refuse to take it).
Arkushule: Lighthouse (x 3498 y 2955)
- Flesh Golem Cave (Manual of Bodily Health--Constitution +1!)
You'll find the Entrance to the Cave in the NW of the Area by the Coast.
Oh and it is guarded by three pesky Sirines (one of which has a name, Sil).
The strategy to beat them can be found below in the Monster & Monster
Strategies section. It takes awhile, but a lot less people die that way.
Go into the cave. There are bunches of Flesh Golems in here. Take a left
until you get to the room with the water in it. There is an island there,
move your mouse over it and you will see that it is filled with treasure.
Treasure: 4 potions, 10 Darts of Wounding, Cloak of the Wolf, Wand of
Paralyzation, Manual of Bodily Health, 312 gp. After that if you have
Safana she'll offer to become a permanent member of the party.

10c. Area S of Lighthouse (AR 4100) [CRSFLS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Gnolls, Gnoll Slashers, Gnoll Chieftan, Gnoll Elites, Flinds, Gnoll
Veterans, Ghouls, War Dogs, Hobgoblins, Kobold Commandos, Cave Bears,
Tasloi, Diggers, Doomsayer, Huge Spiders, Black Bears
Treasures: Cursed Two Handed Sword of Berserking +3 (The Insane Captain Brage)
Plot:
- There are some really good subquests to do here, namely taking care of
Captain Brage (from Nashkel) and the Archeological Dig.
Subquests:
- The Archeological Dig for the Evil Idol
In the Center of the Area are some ruins that are being excavated for
profit. Talk to the foreman Charleston Nib, and he will ask for your
protection. Seems a variety of small "accidents" have been plaguing the
camp. Agree to help defend the camp. Then one of the diggers, Gallor,
will come up to you with another proposition, this one quite a bit more
bloody (he wants you to kill everyone here to keep all the loot for
yourselves). If you are an evil person you could do what he asks,
otherwise tell him no. Now talk to Charleston again and they will have
found something inside the ruins. A quick cutscene later and you are
inside. The diggers will go insane due to the god Kozah, and you will have
to kill them. Once they're dead talk to Charleston to get your reward:
1000 exp, and a Reputation +1. If you would like a challenge, open the
tomb and take the Idol. When you leave the Ruins a Doomsayer will attack
you, and they ain't easy to kill! (4000 exp)
Note: If you want the Vampiric Sword, be sure to keep the Idol, and take
this item as well as the Ancient Armor from the Firewine Ruins to
the Ghost of Ulcaster to exchange these items for the Vampiric
Sword. The sword isn't very good, though.
Kelvin Groves sent me this:
I have discovered a flawless way to defeat the Doomsayer without even
taking a hit. To do this you will need to be playing multiplayer and
have someone who can either read a scroll or cast the spell Skull Trap
(Mage Lvl 3 - necromancy). It would also help to have some sort of
summoning scroll or wand or spell - Monster Summoning or Animate Dead,
you get the drift...
First, have this spell memorised before talking to anyone. Then talk to
all the people and go inside and do all the storyline bit and kill the
diggers. Do not get the idol. Do not even TOUCH it. Take all of your
party except for one person back outside the cave. Make sure that the
person with Skull Trap is Outside.
Have that person cast the spell down near where the Doomsayer appears --
If you aim for the top of that big christmas tree in the foreground you
can't miss.
Then switch back to the person inside the cave and pick up the idol. The
instant you do this the Doomsayer will appear triggering the Skull Trap
and hopefully not damaging a single one of your characters -- keep them
well back from the range of the spell.
Now I know as well as you do that one Skull trap will not kill the
Doomsayer no matter what level you are on. BUT here's the glitch. For
some reason when you switch characters back to the person inside the cave
the Skull trap MULTIPLIES into about a dozen. I do not know why but I
don't really care. If you are really quick you can change characters
back outside straight after you pick up the idol and watch them all
explode -- VERY FUN !!!
After the rubble fades away there will probably still be a few [traps]
left! If you placed the spell at the top of that tree you can walk
single file around them to the right without setting them off, but it is
much easier to just summon some creatures and send them to set the traps
off for you...
I am fairly sure that this is how it works. It has been a while since I
tried it. If this does not work, try taking the WHOLE party outside
before touching the idol, cast the spell, and send someone back in after
the idol; or you could cast the spell before you even ENTER the cave (but
that might kill the people outside). But the first way should work...
You could also try some sort of variation on this to get it to work in a
single-player game, but multi-player is so much better anyway.
Dig Site: Area S of Lighthouse (x 2900 y 1500)
- The Insane Captain Brage
Just to the south and east of the Ruins you will find Captain Brage. He
walks right up to you and asks you a riddle, the answer is DEATH. Now you
have a choice of what to do with him. Offer to take him to the Temple of
Helm, and you will immediately be there. The Priest offers Brage some
forgiveness and you get a reward: 1000 exp, Reputation +1, Cursed 2 Hnd
Sword of Berserking +3, and 1000 gp.
Alternatively: If you approach his place by the west, you will see
(from Tonton Laryssa, Brage's cousin. She will talk to you as soon as
Fred) she sees you (no need to get close). If you choose the
first reply (who is Brage ?), she will leave you alone and
you can take care of the Captain. But if you choose the
second reply, she will attack you. Be careful, she is a
cleric, although a weak one. She is worth 600 exp and
carries a Shield +1, if I remember correctly. Now the
problem is, if you get close to her, you will reveal Brage,
who will come up and talk to you. If you kill him too,
that's ok, since you stay on the map, you can loot both
bodies. But what if you wanna have the shield AND take
Brage to the Temple of Helm?
The solution I found was to send archers/spellcasters to
take her down with ranged attacks from as far as possible
(ie not activating Brage behind her). When she went down,
two characters would get close, one of them acting as a
bait for Brage. Since Brage needs to be in contact to start
the dialog, just lead him away with one of you characters,
paying attention not to let him get close enough to talk to
you, while the other character can ruthlessly search the
body of her unfortunate cousin (aren't we sweet). Once you
get the shield, stop the first character, so that Brage
talks to him and go the Temple of Helm.
Brage: Area S of Lighthouse (x 3709 y 1985)
Other:
- Bar'uk the Hobgoblin (be quiet!)
Near the western section of this area you will encounter a surly Hobgoblin
by the name of Bar'uk. You'll know that it's him because he demands that
you "be quiet"! If you taunt him, he'll have some Kobold Commandos attack
you. (165 exp, Composite Long Bow, and other minor treasures)

- Coran 14 20 12 14 9 16 Half-Elf Fighter/Thief Chaotic Good
Coran wants to go sack some Wyverns in the 4th Cloakwood forest, so do that
immediately or he will leave. After you beat the wyverns, he will stay
forever.
Where he is: Cloakwood Forest, On a Bridge (x 1515 y 691)
Enemies: Tasloi, Dread Wolves, Worgs, Huge Spiders, Wolves
Treasuers: Cloak of Non-Detection (Gurke's Cloak Part Two)
Plot:
- We're just passing through here to get to the next Cloakwood Forest area.
Subquests:
- Gurke's Cloak Part Two
The Tasloi who stole Gurke's cloak can be found here at the eastern side of
the area. Get the cloak and return it to Gurke in the Jovial Juggler in
Beregost to get your reward: 300 exp, and you get to keep the Cloak of
Non-Detection.
Tasloi: Cloakwood Forest (x 4391 y 3472)
- The long tale of Aldeth Sashenstar (this is entirely from Andy Miller)
In front of the hunting lodge there, I ran into a fellow named Aldeth
Sashenstar, yelling for help. He told me that some druids had killed his
friends simply because they had been hunting in the area, and asked my
help in protecting him from them. I agreed. Then a group of three druids
walks up; the leader's name is Seniyad. He then asks me to step aside so
that he can take care of Aldeth, claiming that rather than being a simple
hunter, Aldeth had actually killed some druids. Aldeth of course denies
this.
Tip: Before talking to Aldeth and picking a side, pick his pockets for
some potions, a diamond, and the Bastard Sword +1, +3 vs.
Shapeshifters. This can be repeated when you meet him again in
Baldur's Gate.
(from Josh Clue)
Here there are two choices. If you defend Aldeth, you have to kill the
three druids, getting some nice exp from the kills (Seniyad is worth 4000
exp, as you noted elsewhere in your FAQ), and Aldeth tells you to stop by
the Manycoins Merchant League if you're every in Baldur's Gate, and he'll
help you out. (More on that later.) If you side with the druids, you kill
Aldeth, and the druids warn you about a dangerous group of Shadow Druids
lurking deeper in the Cloakwood Forest. In either case, you get 2000 exp
for the miniquest when it's all done.
I decided to save the game in which I helped Aldeth, for the simple reason
that Seniyad's exp was better than Aldeth's, and so that I could check out
the Manycoins Merchant League in Baldur's Gate. As it later turns out that
the Shadow Druids are allies against Davaeorn, it seems that Seniyad and
his buddies can't be trusted (they warned me against the Shadow Druids,
remember).
Anyway, once I got to Baldur's gate, I paid a visit to the Manycoins
Merchant League. Aldeth Sashenstar was standing outside, and he asked for
my help again (boy, this guy sure knows how to attract trouble!). It
seems that his business partners have been acting VERY strange lately
(making very bad business decisions, etc.), and he wanted me to
investigate. I agreed, and went inside. I talked to the head guard in the
Merchant League (whose name escapes me now), told him I was working for
Aldeth, and he asked me to try to find some hard evidence against the other
two business partners (whose names also escape me). In one of the
partners' offices (on the second floor of the building), I found some
letters indicating that the business partners are actually doppelgangers
(just like in the Seven Suns). I took the letters to the head guard, and
immediately a fight broke out as all the doppelgangers reverted to their
natural form. After I slayed all the doppelgangers on the first and second
floor, I talked to Aldeth again to get my exp/gp award. (There is also a
horde of doppelgangers on the third floor to take care of, if one so
desires, and some fairly nice treasures throughout the building.)
Tip: At this point, your need for Aldeth and his profitable nature
expires. You should consider punishing him for slaying those druids
in the Cloakwood Forest, and gaining an additional 650 XP in the
process. Why would you want to do that? Well, this way, his brother
Dabron, who holds the Heavy Crossbow of Accuracy, will now be out on
the hunt for you! Please see 15e. Baldur's Gate Central Section
(AR 0700) for more details. In summary, using this unorthodox
approach, we have the best of both worlds, exploiting both scenarios
wherein we helped Aldeth but still got the Heavy Crossbow of
Accuracy not to mention multiple copies of the Bastard Sword +1, +3
vs. Shapeshifters. (from Josh Clue)
Aldeth: Cloakwood Forest (x 2650 y 2100)

Subquest below).
Subquests:
- Tiber, his Brother, the Spiders, and the Spider's Bane
Just to the north and west of where you enter this area for the first time
(it's really in the south east corner of the area) you will find Tiber. He
tells the tale that his brother is trapped in a spider infested area of the
forest. They had found the sword the Spider's Bane and thought that they
could easily kill all spiders. They were wrong. Agree to help him and
he'll tell you that his brother's name is Chelak. You will find a small
Cave-like thing a ways to the west, go inside to find the Spider Queen,
Centeol. After a brief Villainy speech she sets her spiders to attack you.
There are 2 Sword Spiders, some Giant Spiders, and some Ettercaps, as well
as the Queen herself. (1000 exp) Search by the Queen to find Chelak.
There is also some other good treasure here like: The Spider's Bane, 2
Rings (one is cursed), and a Wand. Return the body to get an extra 800
exp.
Note: Centeol was cursed by Jon Irenicus to become the Spider Queen.

In the western edge of this Area is a giant tree that the Druids have built
into a fort. You can go inside and up the stairs to talk to the Shadow
Druid's Archdruid Amarande. Tell him that you hunt bandits and he'll tell
you about the Bandit Mines to the East. Be advised that if Jaheira is in
your party, he'll attack (since Shadow Druids do not like the druidic group
that Jaheira belongs to). This fort also has some minor treasures that you
can burgle if you feel so inclined.
Fort: Cloakwood Forest Three (x 850 y 2115)
- Izefia despises Peter the North
Near the cave where Peter the North is training Baby Wyverns, you'll be
accosted by a Shadow Druid by the name of Izefia. He'll explain the
situation about Peter the North and wander off. Be advised that if Jaheira
is in your party, he, too, will attack (since Shadow Druids do not like the

In a small cave to the east of the Fort hids a bandit by the name of Peter
the North. He is raising Wyverns for ... well who knows, but it can't be a
good reason. Go in that cave and wipe him out! (240 exp) You'll have to
kill the Baby Wyverns as well, but they aren't so tough. (450 exp each)

Wyvern flying off with a cow.
Companions: none
Enemies: Hamadryads, Guards, Baby Wyverns, Huge Spiders, Wyverns, Worgs, Wolves
Plot:
- You can kill the Wyverns here if you need to keep Coran, or you just want
the Experience and the Bounty on their heads. When you are done with that
head East to get to the Mines.
Subquests:
- The Wyvern Cave
We heard about this before with Coran (assuming that you talked to him).
Go inside and kill all the Wyverns inside (hehe!). There is one really big
one in there that seems to have been dead for quite some time. Take the
heads from any Wyverns you kill and take them to the Temple to the East of
Beregost for 2000 gp. (He'll only buy one, the rest can be sold for 500gp)
You can also sell Wyvern heads to Officer Vai in Beregost for 1000gp. Once
you complete this, Coran will stay with you forever. Assuming you added
him to your party that is. There is also some treasures on a body near the
gigantic dead Wyvern.

There is a Guard named Lakadaar in the northern section of the Area. He
demands to know who you are and what you are doing. You could tell him the

and that they are poisonous. If you do he will run off. Heh.
Lakadaar: Cloakwood Mines, Exterior (x 1640 y 540)

- Yeslick 15 12 17 7 16 10 Dwarf Fighter/Cleric Lawful Good
You find Yeslick in the Cloakwood Mines, and all he wants to do is help.
How noble.
Where he is: Cloakwood Mines, Level 2 (x 851 y 1727)
Enemies: Guards, Black Talon Elites, Ghasts, Hobgoblins, Ogre Mage, Mustard
Jellies
Treasures: Traveller's Robe (Natasha and Fourth Level, Davaeorn)
Adventurer's Robe (Second Level)
Robe of the Evil Archmagi (Fourth Level, Davaeorn)
Bracers AC 8 (Fourth Level, Davaeorn)
Walkthrough:
Entry Level: Wander up the northern passage to get to (x 1980 y 240) and
talk to the Miner who is standing in front of the Giant Plug.
Agree to help free him, and he'll tell you how to destroy the
Mine. All you have to do is get the Key from the Keeper of the
Mine. You can talk to all the Miner's here, some you can free,
some ask for you to kill them. Go to (x 1450 y 1500) to get to
the next level.
Second Level: Head South East to (x 1387 y 605), and from there South West to
(x 1019 y 1143). Be careful, there are 2 lightning traps here.
Here is a very large group of people for you to kill. The Mage
has an Adventurer's Robe and some Spells. Talk to Rill at
(x 710 y 1634) and give him the 100 gp to free the slaves. You
can also pick up Yeslick on this level. The stairs to the
next level are at (x 385 y 1610).
Third Level: You will enter into a room filled with enemies (immediately
at the start so be ready for some brawling). There are all
sorts of treasures to be found on this level, as well as lots
of enemies (that constantly re-spawn). The northern section
has most of these treasures (in chest and furnitures so be
thorough). There is an Ogre-Mage near (x 2977 y 1921). Once
you are done up there, go southwards. Go to the Forge at
(x 1825 y 2680) and from there go south east. The passage to
the next level is at (x 2712 y 2860).
Fourth Level: Davaeorn is on this level. Be careful to check for traps, as
when they trigger, Battle Horrors (very nasty enemy) appear.
There are 3 traps, the first at (x 1267 y 523). Find them and
disarm them. There is a fourth one just past those, disarm it
as well. Now you should find Davaeorn and kill him (6000 exp,
Traveller's Robe, Robe of the Evil Archmagi, Bracers AC 6, Key,
3 Scrolls, 4 Spells, 109gp) to start Chapter 5. Be sure to get
all the treasure on this level. Go to the Elevator at (x 270
y 1168) to get back to the Entry Level.
KyleEChu sent me this:
"If you attack him immediately, he summons Battle Horrors (not
a fun battle) and starts teleporting around while slinging
powerful spells. Instead of attacking him immediately, do the
following: after your thief disarms the 4 traps, use stealth
mode to scout out where Davaeorn is standing, then stash your
thief in one of the side rooms.
"Have your mage or cleric step forward and cast Dispel Magic
towards Davaeorn to knock out his shield and mirror images.
Do not let him see you do this. Don't save your game at this
point, because he automatically recasts them every time you
load the area. Let your mage now step forward and cast
Stinking Cloud at him. Again, don't let him see you do this!
Wait a few moments for the spell to knock him out. When he
falls unconscious, move up and let him have it with projectile
weapons! He will die quickly, and your party will not have
taken a scratch."
Editor's Note: Instead of the Stinking Cloud (which I didn't
have), I just sent out some Summoned Monsters.
Once he wasted all his spells on them, I
attacked with my party.
Entry Level: Go back to the River Plug and talk to the Miner there. Tell him
that you talked to Rill and he'll open it up. A short movie
later and you get control back, outside again. Depending on
your actions inside (if you didn't talk to Rill and give him the
100gp then you get less) you get your reward: 2000 exp, and a
Reputation +2.
You can now enter the City of Baldur's Gate.
Subquests: none

There is an armory here with some weapons, armors (like a Small Shield +1).

The apprentice to Davaeorn can be found on the fourth level in Davaeorn's
Library. Grill him for information. You can kill him if you want. He
doesn't give you that much, though.

Plot:
- Just some Kobolds to get rid of.
Subquests:
- Gandolar's Quest
Talk to Gandolar a couple times and he'll ask you to clear out the Firewine
ruins of their kobold menace. He tells you that there is a "secret
entrance" to the ruins in the winery. Once you've disposed of Jenkal and
the Ogre Mage (see Jenkal's Kobolds below) he'll give you a meager reward
of 250 gp.
Gandolar has Leather Armor +1. After claiming reward for clearing Firewine
Ruins party might wish to take him to wolf hunting (charm him before he
runs away, then find some respawning monsters). And wolves may kill him.
Party may then retrieve his armor. (from Sergio D. Morozov)
Gandolar: Gullykin (x 720 y 1210)
- Jenkal's Kobolds
In the basement of Jenkal's Home you will find the surliest halfling of
all, Jenkal. He is so surly that he is quite suspicious. Accuse him of
smuggling in Kobolds, and he'll admit to it, and attack you. Also once
that is done you will see a hidden door appear. If you go into the door it
will take you directly into the Firewine Ruins, more specifically to the
Ogre Mage within.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Zombies, Skeletons, Kobold Commandos, Wild Dogs
Treasures: Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise (Meilum)
Long Sword +1 (Meilum)
Plot:
- Beyond picking up the Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise from Meilum, the only
thing to do here is to go into the Ruins (x 4000 y 2000).
Subquests:
- Carsa's Jar, or Karhk the Greatest Ogre Mage
Talking with Mad Carsa doesn't really get you anywhere (she's just to the
north of the bridge). Demand that she give you the Jar, and she'll refuse.
Keep demanding it until she unleashes the Ogre Mage Karhk. He'll come up
to you and talk to you (after killing Carsa of course), and then attack.
Kill him to get 3500 exp, 3 Gems, and 150 gp. (When I killed Karhk a
different time he gave me different -- better -- treasures, a Laeral's Tear
Necklace for example)
Carsa: Firewine Bridge (x 3500 y 930)
Other:
- Bentan of Ilmater
Bentan has been wandering around for quite some time suffering for his
faith, that of Ilmater the God of Suffering. He asks that you join him by
casting off all your belongings and wandering the world with him in pure
suffering. I think you know what to do here.
Bentan: Firewine Bridge (x 470 y 415)
- The Poet Poe
You will encounter Poe, a poet, on the Bridge itself. He will sing you a
song, and afterwords you can give him 10 gp.
Poe: Firewine Bridge (x 2810 y 1560)
- Meilum the Best Swordsman in the Sword Coast
In the eastern edge of this area you will encounter a Swordsman by the name
of Meilum. Challenge his pompous self to a duel and beat him up (1200 exp,
Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise, Long Sword +1, and 64 gp)
Meilum: Firewine Bridge (x 4865 y 700)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13b. Firewine Ruins (AR 5201) [BFRNRS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: What makes this dungeon tough isn't the type of enemy you fight, it's how
many of them there are. Not only are there a lot of Kobold Commandos to
start with, but they constantly re-spawn making it hard to get anywhere.
Enemies: Kobold Commandos, Ogre Mage, Kobolds, Ogrillons, Ghost Knights
Plot:
- The only real thing to do here is to find the Ogre Mage (x 575 y 250) and
kill him. The easiest way to do this is described in the Gullykin section
under the Jenkal subquest.
Subquests:
- The Ancient Armor
In one of the corridor's you will encounter an undead knight who asks you
to strike him down and take his armor. Do so. Later in the passage you
will encounter a Ghost Knight which asks for the armor. The armor and the
ghosts vanish and you get your reward: 1500 exp.
Note: (from Sergio D. Morozov) Ghost Knights have a Longbow of
Marksmanship +2 on them, which can be pickpocketed. As far as I
recall they do not have it in plain BG, only in [BG + ToSC] or
[Original Saga]. I have pickpocketed it from the topmost ghost
knight, but maybe it is irrelevant which ghost knight to
pickpocket. Anyway, they only have one bow. Also blur effect can
be dispelled from them. Funny.
Note: If you want to pick up the Vampiric Sword, be sure to keep the
Ancient Armor, and take this item as well as the Idol of Kozah to
Ulcaster, there talk to the Ghost of Ulcaster to exchange the two
items to get the Vampiric Sword. (You must also kill the Doomsayer
when you get the Idol)
Knight: Firewine Ruins (x 1450 y 360)
Ghost Knight: Firewine Ruins (x 730 y 985)
Other:
- Lendarn the Mage
This bugger will attack you without even giving you his Evil Rant. Now
where's the fun in that? For killing him you get 1400 exp, Robe, 4 Spells,
2 Potions, 150 gp.
Lendarn: Firewine Ruins (x 355 y 533)

- Quayle 8 15 11 17 10 6 Gnome Cleric/Illusionist Chaotic Neutral
Quayle is an insulting little person, who will join up for no apparant
reason. No matter which direction you say that you are going, he is going
that way too. Can't get him until the Cloakwood mines are cleared.
Where he is: Baldur's Gate Bridge (x 486 y 797)
Plot:
- As you cross the Bridge you will be accosted by a Flaming Fist Soldier who
demands that you pay them a tax. Give him the "Nymph's" comment and he'll
make you talk to his commander, Scar. He asks if it was you who has been
causing such a ruckus lately, say that it was. He asks for your help,
agree to give it. He wants you to break into the Seven Suns compound in
the SW corner of the city.
- Head west to enter Baldur's Gate itself. However, if you head north from
the Baldur's Gate side of the Bridge you can get to a new area, the Farm
N of Baldur's Gate Bridge.
Subquests:
- Nester's Dagger
Just slightly to the north of Tenya's home an Ankheg may appear, kill him
and take the dagger on his corpse. We will take this to Quinn in the NW
Section of Baldur's Gate later (check that section for more information).

15. Baldur's Gate (AR 0800) [15BDLR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first enter Baldur's Gate you are "treated" to a little movie,
which is on Disc 5. After that Elminster will come up to you and tell
you that you can trust Scar of the Flaming Fist, as well as his
commander, Duke Eltan. Navigating Baldur's Gate can be a little tricky
due to the wall in the center of town which prevents you from simply
crossing from one end of the city to the other.
Baldur's Gate is divided into 9 sections, and as such, this section is divided
into 9 sub-sections, one for each of the city sections. (plus another one for
the sewers)
Companions: none
Enemies: none
Treasures: Tome of Dexterity (Niklos and the Bandits)
Plot:
- There are a lot of things in Baldur's Gate worth doing, subquests and
very good treasures.
Subquests:
- Brevlik's Telescope
In the Elfsong tavern is a wheezy gnome named Brevlik who wants you to
steal a telescope from the Hall of Wonders. Agree to help him out, and
try to increase your fee as well. Now all you have to do is to break
into the Hall of Wonders. You'll find the Hall of Wonders in the W
Section of the city. Break into it at night (you'll probably find Alora
there, see the Baldur's Gate W Section below for more information, if you
have Alora in your party you'll be able to steal things here without them
noticing), and steal the Telescope. Return it to Brevlik to get your
reward: 5500 exp, 500 gp, and a Lightning Wand.
Brevlik: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1800 y 2370)
Telescope: W Section (AR 0600, x 1600 y 2200)
MartectX recommends this:
While in the Hall of Wonders charm ALL people running around (get
Nymph's cloak first!) and quicksave. Now unlock the chests and get a
Rogue Stone (worth 2500gp!) and a star sapphire! If someone recognizes
you anyway - determine him/her, reload and search for that person:
Charm him/her.
- Arkion's Corpse
A Necromancer who lives in the southern part of this area wants you to find
him a body from the Sewers and bring it to him. You can find a corpse
in the sewers that are under the SW Section of the city. There are 2 more
corpses in the W Sewers. You only need one corpse, however. Take it to
Arkion to get your reward: 250 gp, and 1800 exp.
Arkion: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1600 y 3200)
Corpse: SW Sewers (AR 0224, x 2520 y 2360)
Corpses: W Sewers (AR 0225, x 3700 y 2860)
- The love triangle of Ordulinian, Nemphre and Arkion
This subquest should be tackled only once you completed the Arkion's Corpse
subquest (see above) and Nemphre subquest (see Baldur's Gate SE Section).
Although he may not ask you to, give him Arkion's Bloostone Amulet and
Nemphre's Onyx Ring to get 3500 exp. He's in The Sorcerous Sundries.
Ordulinian: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800 x 1025 y 1950)
Arkion: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1600 y 3200)
Nemphre: SE Section (AR 1300, x 1750 y 240)
- Niklos and the Bandits
In the center of the Area you will find a bandit named Niklos. He says
that his boss wants to talk to you, and gives you 50gp just to talk to him.
He tells you to go into the building to the north of him, and if asked for
a password to reply "fafhrd", there to meet with the boss. Go inside the
building, give the guard your password, and go further in. All the way to
the back is a man named Alatos, the Boss. Talk to him. Be careful what
you say, as they might attack you. What he wants you to do is to steal
some items from Oberon's House in order to prevent the construction of "Sky
Ships". You get 10 days to complete this quest. Once agreed to, you have
free run of the Guild. For more information go down to the section titled
Baldur's Gate Central Section and look under the subquest marked "Oberan's
Estate." Once you have the items return them to the Thieves' Guild. Now
you give him the items and you get a reward of 4000 exp, however, the
client thinks that you were too "messy" in your operation and wants to
terminate you, but if you did the Narlen Subquest below, Narlen will come
in and kill the client instead, and you are thereafter a full member of the
Thieves' Guild.
NOTE: Even if you simply sneak in and steal the pieces, Resar still tries
to have you killed.
Niklos: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1550 y 1790)
Boss: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1450 y 1250)

MartectX adds this:
Sure, Black Lily sells a lot of good items, but what's in that barrel
behind her? Uhuu, a low-cost Tome of Dexterity!
- Narlen Darkwalk's Thievery Test
In the Thieves' Guild you will encounter Narlen Darkwalk who wants to test
your thievery abilities. Agree to it, and he'll ask for a THIEF (and only
a thief) to meet him by the Splurging Surgeon Inn. Go there. (It's a
little tricky to get to where we need to be. Go west to the Central
Section and then North to the North Section, and finally go East to the NE
Section) Talk to Narlen again, and you'll be automatically taken to where
you need to be. Eventually a Flaming Fist will come up to you and ask what
you're doing. Yell out a warning to your "mates", and flee back to the
Thieves' Guild. (Don't fight the Fist!) You will get 100 gp for the first
job, and another job will be given out.
This time we're stealing a Rogue Stone from Gantolandan. This time he
wants to meet up at the Blade and Stars Inn, which is in the SE Section of
the city. Meet up with Narlen there, and then follow him to Gantolandan's
house. Go inside and steal the stone (for more information on this go down
to the SE Section below and look under the Gantolandan in "Other"), and
then return to the Guild again. Talk to Narlen for the last time to get 3
Pearls. (the Rogue Stone, if you had sold it, is worth 2500 gp, while 3
Pearls are worth 300... methinks someone here took more than their fair
share!)

are practicing spells. They are very put out if you go near them, and will
attack you.

Wheber Ott--1500 exp, Robe, minor treasures
William Garst--1500 exp, Robe, minor treasures
Niemain--2000 exp, Cursed Ring of Clumsiness, Wand of Fire, 280 gp
Note: If you have Xzar in your party, the Mages here won't attack you
since Xzar is a member of their order.
Sorcerous Sundries: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1025 y 1950)
- Husam the Bandit
Inside the Bandit's hideaway (see Niklos and the bandits above) you can
talk to Husam. He has a bit of information on the Iron Throne, like who
the leaders are, and what their plans are.

Note: When you first come into this area from the first BG Section, you will
confronted by two goons from the Iron Throne, Marek and Lothandar. They
tell you to stay out of Throne business and leave. Also this area is
divided in half by the inner wall.
Companions: none
Enemies: none
Treasures: Cloak of Balduran (Quenash and the Cloak of Balduran)
Gauntlets of Weapon Skill (Larze the Would Be Ogre Assassin)
Plot:
- Just some subquests to do.
Subquests:
- Brielbara and Yago's Book of Curses
A mage of minor power here has a task for you. Her daughter was cursed by
the mage Yago, and in order to remove the curse, you need to retreive his
book of Curses. You can find Yago in the Low Light Tavern (it's really a
boat) at the Harbor. Go in and take him out (he is on the third level).
Once that is done return with the book to the Splurging Surgeon Inn and
give it to Brielbara to get your reward: 200gp, 1000 exp, and a Reputation
+1.
I got this from Peter Cheong Choon Wah:
Apparently Coran was Brielbara's lover and her daughter's true father. If
you approach Brielbara with Coran in your party, she would badger him about
this turn of events; Coran would be forced to do something about Yago and
he would ask if you/the party would aid him. (I can not confirm, but if you
refuse in this case, Coran *might* leave the party to settle the issue
himself...)
When you help Coran to settle the matter and return to Brielbara, after she
rewards you, she would have one last tiff with Coran, asking if he's ready
to be a responsible father. Coran would be uncertain and she would depart,
leaving him with your party.

Splurging Surgeon: NE Section (AR 0300, x 411 y 2885)
- Larze the Would Be Ogre Assassin
In the Blushing Mermaid Tavern you find yet another assassination attempt,
this time from a none-too-bright Ogre named Larze. If you want you can
talk him out of attacking you (900 exp). Or you could attack him, which I
think may be the better course of action.
Larze--2000 exp, Gauntlets of Weapon Skill, 1 Spell, Minor Treasures
Blushing Mermaid: NE Section (AR 0300, x 200 y 1750)
Other:
- Quenash & the Cloak of Balduran
Quenash in the Undercellars somehow got a hold of the Cloak of Balduran.
Find her and steal it from her to get a really really good cloak (that 25%
Magic Resistence will come in handy!). To get into the Undercellars go
through the back door in the Blushing Mermaid.
Quenash: Undercellars (x 1300 y 1315)
Silviu has more Info on the Cloak:
The woman that possesses the Cloak of Balduran is in reality the lover
of the elf you delivered in Felonius Gist. There is a hint in the
letter he gives you that points to her, when he says that the cloak is
with his "fallen angel"(a prostitute). If you go to see her, you can
obtain the cloak from her by saying that you are one of his friends and
by describing him.
- Kill the Mustard Jellies
After talking three times to a drunk named Lusselyn, he will bet you 100gp
that you cannot kill the mustard jelly upstairs. Upon completion of the
quest, you will discover that Lusselyn has only 60gp remaining, having
spent the rest on "Boozsh an' schtuff".
(from Arashikage The Magnificent, Illusionist Without Peer)
Lusselyn: Splurging Surgeon, NE Section (AR 0300, x 411 y 2885)
- Always Keep the Pantaloons! (from Sir Erik Esoteric)
A man on the 2nd floor of the Splurging Surgeon named Mr. Shade provides
a funny conversation if you pretend to play along with it. Eventually, you
will have to confess, but you can ask him what this was all about.
Apparently, he was waiting for the owner of the golden pantaloons, and
since you have obviously stolen them, he decides to take them from you and
leave. I didn't want to sacrifice getting the Big Metal Unit in BG II ToB,
so I decided to kill him netting 1 experience point (w00t) and getting back
the precious pants. All in all, I just thought it was a pretty funny
interaction.

To get Nemphre to even talk to you, you must talk to her with any male in
your party. (There goes that all female party!) She wants you to get an
amulet back from her former flame, Arkion. You'll find Arkion back in the
first Baldur's Gate section in the southern part of that area. Go into his
house, don't bother talking to him, and steal the Bloodstone Amulet. Take
it back to Nemphre to get called a fool (but a sweet fool!), and receive a
small reward: 1000 exp, and the spell Vampiric Touch.
Nemphre: SE Section (AR 1300, x 1750 y 240)
Arkion: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1600 y 3200)
Alternatively... Starlight sent me this:
"I went and retrieved nemphres amulet and took offence at being called a
fool, albeit a sweet fool. So after saving the game I tried to charm
her so I could rob her, this did not work, so still feeling verbally
abused I set all five of my party on to her. I have a heroic reputation
(20) after her death which was quick, in Another life maybe she will hold
her tongue, no flaming fist arrived so I ransacked the place and found:
Cloak of Protection +1
War Hammer
Minor Gem
18 Gold Pieces
And on her
Robe of Electrical resistance
Bloodstone Amulet
Onyx Ring
And a Dagger
I reckon just short of 3000 gp not a bad earner wouldn't you say.
- G'Axir the Seer
In the Blade and Stars Inn you will meet a seer named G'Axir who wishes
to tell your fortune, but requires a Sphene Gem to do such a task. Find
one and bring it back to him (if you'd rather just cheat it, it's MISC37)
and he'll give you your fortune and a reward of 1000 exp.
G'Axir: SE Section (AR 1300, x 200 y 666)
- Nadarin's Basilisk
Someone decided to ship a basilisk somewhere, and somehow it escaped and is
wreaking havoc at the harbor. Talk to Nadarin in the warehouse to get the
quest, then head over to the harbors. You will find the Basilisk in a
warehouse, once inside you will be warned that it is in there. Kill it
(it has a Sphene Gem if you need one for G'Axir) and then return to
Nadarin. Your Reward: 1300 exp, and 1800 gp.
Nadarin: SE Section (AR 1300, x 800 y 1930)
Basilisk: Harbor (AR 1200, x 3264 y 1146)
Other:
- Taxek and Michael, Bandits
Taxek and his buddy Michael are from the Thieves' Guild have decided to rob
a house in this area. You have several options on how to handle this, but
the best is to say that it isn't your house, but that you aren't going to
let them leave. They will attack you, kill them and steal their treasures.
Taxek--975 exp, Light Crossbow +1, Magic Bolts, 2 Gems, 75gp
Michael--300 exp, Magic Arrows, 2 Gems, Long Bow, 54 gp
Bandits: SE Section (AR 1300, x 1733 y 1075)
- Gantolandan's Rogue Stone (or the Stray Cat Thief)
On the second story of a house in this area you will encounter a sleeping
man named Gantolandan. Near his bed is a trapped chest with a Rogue Stone
inside (very valuable! 2500gp!), but as you steal it, Gantolandan will wake
up and ask "Who's there?" You could impersonate a cat and say "Meow".
Take the Rogue Stone, and he'll say "I don't own a cat". Claim to be a
stray and he'll go back to bed. It's fairly safe to leave. Or you could
just kill him to get 1200 exp, Long Sword +1, 64gp. This is the second of
Narlen's tests if you care about the Thieves' Guild.
Gantolandan: SE Section (AR 1300, x 785 y 1190)

15c. The Harbor, Baldur's Gate S Section (AR 1200) [CBGTHS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You may encounter Entillis Fulsom here, a friend of Elminster. He urges
you to curry the favor of Scar and Duke Eltan to protect yourself from
the Iron Throne.
Companions: none
Enemies: none
Treasures: Gauntlets of Ogre Power ¯¯|
Long Sword +1 |__ Desreta, Vay-ya and the Void

Wand of Fire __|
Gauntlets of Weapon Skill (Noralee's Gauntlets)
Ring of Free Action ¯¯|

Bracers AC 7 |__ The Iron Throne

Plot:
- There are some subquests to do here, as well as the Gauntlets of Weapon
Skill.
- The Iron Throne Tower
You can find the Iron Throne's Headquarters in this area to the North West.
Go inside. When you first enter you get to see a little movie (Disc 5).
1st floor: A fat merchant will come up to you and say that there is
madness inside. Well we knew that. There is a lone guard at
(x 731 y 493). You can tell him that you are seeking
employment or can beat him up. Your choice.
Basement: You'll find a lone guard here and some treasures at (x 147
y 328) and (x 182 y 218). There is an exit that leads to the
sewers here at (x 678 y 526).
2nd floor: Here you'll encounter another guard named Dra'tan. Either
tell him that you're delivering a message to Sarevok, and
that you'll pass his comments on or fight him (if so, he'll
summon two other guards to help him out). There is some
guards on this level (they all have minor treasures).
3rd floor: Another guard will accost you here. Again pass yourself off
as new recruits who don't yet have their uniforms. Also on
the third level, Nortuary will come up and talk to you. He
wants to know where the Iron Throne higher ups are. Tell him
that they are upstairs. An Emissary from the Grand Dukes
named Tar will initiate a conversation with you. Do not kill
her or you'll lose reputation.
4th floor: Do not kill anyone on this floor or you'll lose a lot of
reputation points. You can impersonate the Emisary Tar when
talking to Destus Gurn to get some free information. There
are some scrolls at (x 1136 y 508) and (x 877 y 412).
5th floor: A really big fight will ensue from your entrance on this
floor with several tough Iron Throne leaders. I'd recommend
using a Fireball or three, and/or a Cloudkill. You can also
use Dire Charm on some of them to get some free added
firepower. Beyond that, good luck. Don't forget to search
everywhere for letters, treasures, etc... You'll also
discover what happened to Emissary Tar here. I didn't keep
track of which treasures belong to which person, but here's a
list of treasures you'll get: Ring of Free Action, Wand of
Lightning, Halberd +2, Bracers AC 7, 7 Spells, Mace +1, Wand
of the Heavens, War Hammer +1.
MartectX has this battle strategy to add:
First have your thief hide in shadows and go up. Go
to Thaldorn and talk to him - because now unintentional
killing of the Emissary isn't too bad. You could also
charm Thaldorn later and force-talk to him. Now go up
with your highest-hitpoints character (should be your
fighter) and the one or two mages that you are instantly
visible to should start casting a spell.
Quickly (!) go down the stairs and go back up
immediately. Again he/they will start casting a spell.
Down again. Repeat until all visible mages come towards
you. DON'T WALK UP TO THEM! At this point you'll probably
want to shoot one or two arrows at them, don't you? When
they reach you they'll begin casting again - get out NOW!
Repeat until they are out of spells - behead them!
Now the more complicated part: Quicksave first, go 2
meters to the middle of the room - Cloudwulfe should
begin shooting you (not to be prevented) - go on until
the last mage starts casting. NOW RUN BACK! You should
make it down with those magic arrows being 2-3 meters
away. Poohhhhhhh. Quicksave? Repeat this process. This
has two advantages: Cloudwulfe gets out of arrows (or he
did in my case) the last mage becomes dog-biscuit. Get
your party up (or only the fighters and archers), beat
Cloudwulfe and his other fighting companion (I guess it's
Gardush or whomever).
And here's the Experience you get from it:
Zhalimar Cloudwulfe--3000 exp
Gardush--1800 exp
Alai--1800 exp
Naaman--2000 exp
Diyab--1600 exp
Aasim--1800 exp
Once that's done find Thaldorn and threaten him until he tells you where
the other leaders of the Iron Throne are. (Candlekeep) And also gives you
information on all their dirty deeds, which he claims Reiltar has. Kill
him if you want to get 975 exp, a Short Sword +1, and a Studded Leather +1.
Iron Throne: Harbor (AR 1200, x 400 y 600)
Subquests:
- Ghorak the Diseased
In a house near the south of the area you will find a diseased man who
cannot be cured by conventional (and by that I mean magical) means. There
is, however, a way to cure him. Simply go to the Three Old Kegs Inn, there
you will find a Skull behind a painting on the second floor. Take the
Skull to Agnasia at the Lady's Hall. She'll tell you a little story about
the Skull's previous owner, and give you 1000 exp, and a Reputation +1.
You can if you want, go talk to Ghorak again to see him cured, but you get
nothing more.
Ghorak: Harbor (AR 1200, x 4230 y 1925)
Skull: N Section (AR 0200, x 3700 y 2370)
Agnasia: W Section (AR 0600, x 1300 y 1000)
- Nadarin's Basilisk Part 2 (see the above sub section)
- Noralee's Gauntlets
In a warehouse to the south of the Basilisk warehouse you will find a
female archer by the name of Noralee who has lost some Gauntlets. She asks
you to pick up the Gauntlets before someone else does. Go pick up the
gauntlets, and return them to her (they are Gauntlets of Weapon Skill) to
get your reward: 1000 exp, 2 Potions, and a Reputation +1. Or you could
just keep them. (THAC0 +1) Once you give them to her, she leaves, so
decide if you want them before that!
Noralee: Harbor (AR 1200, x 3550 y 1520)
Gauntlets: Harbor (AR 1200, x 730 y 2700)
- Cordyr's Sirines
Cordyr has been having some trouble with Sirines far to the south. If the
party has a low or medium reputation, he'll ask them to get rid of them.
Kill them to get a reward: a Haste Scroll. The Sirines he wants dead are
in the Lighthouse Map (AR 3600) and you may have already killed them (one
of them is named Sil). See Flesh Golem Cave in Lighthouse Map (AR 3600)
for more information.
Sil and 2 sirines: Lighthouse (AR 3600, x 383 y 1209)
Cordyr: Harbor (AR 1200, x 3060 y 875)
Other:
- Desreta, Vay-ya and the Void
A wench in the Low Lantern (a brothel if you must know) by the name of
Desreta will come up to you on the second level, and blabber on about being
"one with the void" and how life is meaningless. Long story short, you
have to fight her as well as her mage companion Vay-ya.
Desreta--1200 exp, Gauntlets of Ogre Power, Long Sword +1, 172 gp
Vay-ya--2000 exp, Wand of Fire, Dagger +1, 2 Spells, 2 Gems, 94 gp
Low Lantern: Harbor (AR 1200, x 3420 y 3090)
- Yago
Yago is on the third level of the Low Lantern, you can kill him if you
want. You get 1400 exp, a Knave's Robe, and Yago's Book of Curses. You
can search the chest near his bed for some good spells (like Fireball if
you don't already have it) and some gold. Yago's Book of Curses is
important in a subquest in the NE Section (Brielbara and Yago's Book of
Curses).
Low Lantern: Harbor (AR 1200, x 3420 y 3090)
- Larriaz the Sirine
Larriaz was abducted by a fisherman, and has now exacted her revenge by
killing his entire family. Kill her and you get 30 exp. Whee. You can
then search the house for some more minor treasures.
Larriaz: Harbor (AR 1200, x 3970 y 1660)
- Child's body from Umberlee's temple
You can wander into Umberlee's temple and talk to the Bitch Queen's
Priestess here (that's what Umberlee is known as). Ask to talk to Tenya
(she's the girl you helped retrieve that BOWL awhile back) and she will
appear and give you a corpse. This is to complete the subquest in the
W Section of the city titled "Varci Roaringhorn and the High Price..."
Temple: Harbor (AR 1200, x 870 y 2340)
- Ogre Mages
In one of the buildings here you will find 4 Ogre Mages (this could have
been listed as an Assassination attempt, except none of them have names)
who want to kill you. A fifth one is invisible and will become visible
once he initiates a conversation with your party.
Building: Harbor (AR 1200, x 1140 y 1215)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Tiax 9 16 16 10 13 9 Gnome Cleric/Thief Chaotic Evil
Tiax is a very bizarre fellow who believes that he will one day "ascend" to
become the ruler of the Realms. He thinks that that is his "destiny" as
foretold to him by Cyric.
Special Abilities: Summon Ghast
Where he is: Baldur's Gate SW Section (AR 1100, x 1440 y 1610)
Enemies: Dopplegangers, Green Slimes
Treasures: Spear +1 (Seven Suns)
Wand of Magic Missiles (Seven Suns)
Medium Shield +1 (Duke Eltan's Office)
Splint Mail +1 (Duke Eltan's Office)
Plot:
- Go talk to Scar again in the Flaming Fist HQ, and he'll ask for you to
investigate the Seven Suns. This is done in two parts, freeing Jhasso, and
killing the Dopplegangers, so be sure to get both rewards. See The Seven
Suns below for more info.
- The Sewers
Scar wants you to check the sewers of the city for a beast of some sort.
Go to the eastern end of the city, and down into the sewers. Then go to
(AR 0226, x 1335 y 1590) and kill the Ogre Mage (Bastard Sword +1) and his
Carrion Crawler buddies. Take all the items from the Ogre Mages body, but
don't sell them. Go back to Scar and tell him what the Ogre Mage was doing
down there, and then give the Ring to Scar for your reward: 3000 exp, and
3000 gp.
- Finally to finish Chapter 5 and leave Baldur's Gate talk to Scar again
until he wants to talk to you about the Iron Throne. Go outside and talk
to him, and agree to meet with Duke Eltan. Tell the Duke what you know (if
you went into the Iron Throne's HQ tell him about Reiltar) and he'll
transport you to Candlekeep to get information from the Throne. If you
haven't done the Iron Throne yet, you'll have to before you can leave!
Also if you haven't done the Iron Throne yet, you can wander around Duke
Eltan's office, and swipe his items. On Duke himself you'll find the
History of the Nether Scrolls, and in another room you'll find a Medium
Shield +1 and a Splint Mail +1.
Subquests:
- The Seven Suns
When we first entered Baldur's Gate we were asked by Scar to investigate
the Seven Suns merchant guild. Now we have the opportunity to do just
that. Enter the building, and a merchant will talk to you. Go downstairs
(the stairs down are in the SW end of the room) to find a Doppleganger and
the head of the guild, Jhasso. Talk to him and say that you are there to
rescue him. He'll say that the guild was taken over by Dopplegangers. You
can search the basement for a Spear +1, a Wand of Magic Missiles, and other
minor treasures. Go back upstairs and talk to any merchant over and over
until they crack and turn into Dopplegangers. Kill all the ones here, then
go upstairs and kill the two up there. Once that is done go over to the
Flaming Fist HQ, go inside and talk to Scar to get your reward: 9000 gp,
4000 exp, and a Reputation +2. (MartectX mentions that dialog option 2
leads to the good reward, option 3 leads to a much lesser reward) He'll
also give you another job which is covered below.
Seven Suns: SW Section (AR 1100, x 3480 y 1240)
Scar: SW Section (AR 1100, x 1500 y 1300)
- Fergus' Angel Skin Ring
If you have an Angel Skin Ring handy (and you should by now), go to the
Flaming Fist HQ and talk to Fergus (he's just down the hall past Scar). He
wants a ring for his special someone. Talk to him again to give him the
ring, and get your reward: 800 exp, and a Reputation +1.
Fergus: SW Section (AR 1100, x 1500 y 1300)
Other:
- Green Slime Tavern
There is a tavern that has been invaded by green slimes. Go inside and
kill the slimes. However, whatever you do, several people will be killed
(even if you kill all the slimes really quickly!).
Tavern: SW Section (AR 1100, x 2470 y 725)
- Thieves Looting a House
There are four members of the Shadow Thieves' Guild (Dirk, Sath, Meakin and
Wiven) looting a house. They all have minor treasures.
Thieves: SW Section (AR 1100, x 2250 y 1770).
- Sunin the Mage
When you break into Sunin's house (in the southern part of this area) he
of course assumes that you are thieves, and will attack you.
Sunin--2000 exp, Robe, Ring of Wizardry, 2 Spells, 102 gp
Joular--1200 exp, Long Sword +1, 64gp
Maka--1300 exp, Plate Mail, Magic Arrows, 39gp
Sunin: SW Section (AR 1100, x 1700 y 2500)
- Phandalyn
As you enter a tavern in the SW part of this area, a paladin by the name of
Phandalyn will approach you. If you have any Evil party members, he will
attack. However, he is still considered Non-Threatening (i.e. his circle
is still blue) so if you attack and kill him, you still get the appropriate
loss in reputation. Sucks.
Phandalyn: SW Section (AR 1100, x 1100 y 2200)

Treasures: Necklace of Magic Missiles (Halruuan Skyship)
Eagle Bow (Lothandar's Geas)
Dagger +2 (Lothandar's Geas)
Tome of Wisdom (Lothandar's Geas)
Plot:
- Just some subquests to accomplish. If you have a Thief be sure to pick up
the Eagle Bow (Lothandar's Geas).
Subquests:
- Ragefast's Nymph
You will encounter a Lady Hannah here who complains about Ragefast the Mage
who has enslaved a Nymph in the Western part of the city. Check the
Section titled Baldur's Gate W Section for information on completing this
subquest.
Hannah: Central Section (AR 0700, x 330 y 870)
Ragefast: W Section (AR 0600, x 2875 y 475)
- The Statues of Felonius Gist
Do not free any of these statues until you talk to Degrodel in the NW
Section! Inside of Felonius' town house you will find a series of statues.
Free the one in the North West corner and demand to know where the Helm of
Balduran is (you get a small reward of 500 exp for freeing him). He will
give you a scroll that gives you a bit of a clue about it, saying that it
is in an Inn. You can free the others, but you don't get anything more.
Town House: Central Section (AR 0700, x 1750 y 1000)
Note: (from danecobain) If you free the guy in the corner and get the
information from him then if you say that you want to fight him then
you can kill him for some exp. Then all of the statues turn red and
you can use the scrolls on them one at a time to get them to attack</pre><pre id="faqspan-7">
you one at a time and kill them all. Doing this I got 5800 xp, a
load of arrows, 2 healing potions and a mage robe of electric
resistance with no reputation loss.
- Lothandar's Geas
When you wander around the Tents in this area you will be confronted by
Lothandar (again if you talked to him in the NE Section) who tells you that
you have been poisoned in your sleep. If you help him remove a Geas from
himself, he'll help you get rid of the poison. Sounds good enough. He
takes you to see a Diviner, ask the Diviner how to help Lothandar and he
directs you to the Temple of Umberlee. Go to the temple and ask to see the
High Priestess (you'll have to bribe them). Talk to her and ask for help
to remove the Geas and she'll ask for you to get a Book from the Temple of
Tymora. Wander over to the West section of the city and into the Lady's
House (the Temple of Tymora), there ask the priest there for the book, and
say that you'll die if you don't get it. He decides that that is a worthy
enough cause, and gives you the Book of Wisdom.
Now go back to the Temple of Umberlee and give the Priestess the book (say
that you don't trust her to get the Scroll of Remove Geas before handing
her the book). Now go to the Blade and Stars Inn to find Lothandar to give
him the Scroll. He will give you his HALF of the antidote (as well as 1500
exp) and tell you to get the second half from Marek in the Blushing Mermaid
Inn. You'll find Marek on the Second Level of that Inn, and he will fight
you instead of just giving it to you. You get 10000 experience for curing
the poison.
Marek--650 exp, Eagle Bow, Dagger +2, 3 Potions, 200 gp

Dark Angel (
[email protected]) had an alternate way to complete
Lothandar's Geas:
In the section 15.e (Baldur's Gate Central Section) who wrote how to
complete the subquests Lothandar's Geas. You described how to acquire
to book of wisdom to the high priestess of The Bitch Queen. I thought
that letting her have this valuable tome (which raises wisdom by 1
point) was somehow deceiving. So after telling her that I did not
trust her and receiving the scroll, I told her that I did not had the
book. Because of that she decide to attack me. After killing her and
all of her priestess (the normal priestess only attack after you kill
the high priestess, and doesn't cast spells), nothing happened. No
reputation losses, no becoming a fallen paladin (I'm a paladin with a
reputation of 20), nothing. So I decided to keep that game. The best
part of it was that killing the high priestess gave me 6000 exp
points, and if you haven't done the "Varci Roaringhorn and the High
Price of Umberlee" subquest, well there a body of a young child on her
(which was a strange thing for my game because I had already done it).
- Nadine's Son
Nadine's Son has wandered off again to one of Baldur's Gate's many taverns.
She wants you to give him a good luck talisman, an Amulet +1. You'll find
Euric (her son) in the SE Section. He says that the Amulet looks funny,
but he isn't coming home. For your trouble you get 1100 exp. (thanks to
Stephen Ashton for the solution to this one) Go back to Nadine and talk to
her to get a Necklace of Missiles and a Reputation + 1 (thanks to Andrey
Moujikov for that).
Nadine: Central Section (AR 0700, x 4150 y 880)
Son: SE Section (AR 1300, x 1655 y 2314)
- Oberan's Estate
In a house in the northern part of this area are several components which
are required to create a Halruuan Skyship, a Gem, a Statue and a Book. Go
inside the house, you can claim to be a servant (if you aren't "well armed"
at the time!), but it isn't necessary. Go up to the third floor, and kill
the three guards there. Then search the desk to find the three things.
Whatever you do, don't attack the servant! Even if he turns red!

- Dabron Sashenstar
He is the cousin of Aldeth Sashenstar and will only appear if you've killed
Aldeth in the first Cloakwood Forest. As you might have guessed, he
doesn't like you so be prepared for a fight. He has a magical heavy
crossbow on him and some other treasures.

house. Go into the house and a priest of Tymora will explain that a child
and Varci wandered into the Umberlee temple with mischief on their minds,
and for that one of them was killed. He wants you to go to the Temple and
retrieve the body so that he can revive him. Go to the Harbor, and into
the temple. Ask to talk to Tenya (the girl you retrieved the Elemental
Bowl for) and she'll give you the body. Return with the body, and give it
to the priest. He will walk a little ways away, talk to him again and
he'll revive his son. They argue a bit, and leave. Talk to Varci to get

- Ragefast's Nymph
Ragefast the great Mage has taken a Nymph captive and it's your job to free
her. Go into his house in the northern part of this area, and talk to him.
Be firm that she must be free, but don't threaten him. You can talk him
into letting her go, and if you do you get a reward: 2000 exp, and Nymph
Hair.
What does one do with Nymph's hair? Matt Canfield sent me this:
I discovered that if you talk to Halbazzer Drin in the Sorcerious
Sundries, he offers to purchase the Nymph Hair from you for 500 gp. If
you decline and say it is too precious and you will not part with it he
offers to weave a Nymph Cloak for you for an extra 100 gp, which is a
total of 600 gp. Agree to this and he gives you the Nymph Cloak, he
already has one made. This cloak is identical to Algernon's Cloak and
gives you a Charisma +2 bonus.

Other:

Fenten, the Dwarf, wants to buy Ankheg Shells from you. He will buy every
shell you have for 250 gp, and there's no limit to how many times you can
do this. So to maximize your profits, place all but one shell on the
ground, and then talk to him. (To get to Fenten go north from the SW
Section)
Fenten: W Section (AR 0600, x 3400 y 3200)
- Brathlen's Tour of the Hall of Wonders
Talk to Brathlen just inside the Hall of Wonders to get a tour of the
place. He'll walk to a place, and stop. There you talk to him again to
learn more about whatever it is that you are looking at.
Brathlen: W Section (AR 0600, x 1600 y 2200)

- Skie 11 18 15 15 8 13 Human Thief True Neutral
When you first enter the NW Area in Baldur's Gate Eldoth (if he is with
you) will offer to take you up to Skie's father's estate. Go inside the
estate and you will find Skie. She will only join you if Eldoth is with
you, otherwise she thinks that you are thieves come to kill her.
Where she is: NW Section (AR 0100, x 1170 y 1625)
Enemies: Battle Horrors, Doom Guards, Invisible Stalkers, Helmed Horrors
Treasures: Helm of Balduran (Degrodel and the Helm of Balduran)
Battle Axe +2 ¯¯|
Bracers AC 7 |—— The Maulers and the Gorpel Hind
Long Sword +1 __|
Plot:
- Definately pick up the Helm of Balduran (you don't really need to do the
whole Degrodel subquest, just go into the Helm and Cloak Inn and get it).
Subquests:
- Degrodel and the Helm of Balduran
In Degrodel's House in the southern part of this area you will have to
fight a lot of really tough monsters. Battle Horrors, Invisible Stalkers,
and Doom Guards. Once past those, talk to Degrodel and he'll offer you a
job, take the job and he'll explain that 6 people were turned to stone by
Ragefast, and then sold to an art dealer. One of those people had the Helm
of Balduran on him, and Degrodel wants you to retrieve it. To accomplish
this he gives you 6 scrolls of Stone to Flesh. Go to the Central Section,
and into the house of Felonius Gist. You'll see the statues in the north
end of the room. Free the statue in the corner and demand the Helm of
Balduran from him. He'll say that he doesn't have it, press further and
he will give you a Scroll with a clue on it. In case you haven't guessed
it we're going to the Helm and Cloak Inn in the NW Section. Go inside, and
then go up the stairs in the back of the inn. Find the painting in this
room and search it to find the Helm. Careful 'tis trapped! If you give it
to Degrodel he'll give you 5000 gp, but then have 3 monsters attack you and
leave with the Helm. It's much more worth it to keep the Helm. What I did
was I gave him the Helm, then killed him and took the Helm back.
Degrodel: NW Section (AR 0100, x 2100 y 3000)
Statues: Central Section (AR 0700, x 1750 y 1000)
Helm and Cloak: NW Section (AR 0100, x 3550 y 2900)
Scott Werner had this to add:
I already had the Helm of Balduran when I finally did this quest. When
I talked to the guy who used to be a statue about the helm, I told him
about Degrodel's plan and said that I didn't need the helm. For my
honesty he said that I should go see his lover Quenash in the
Undercellar and ask her for the Cloak of Balduran. If for some odd
reason you happen to notice that her lover is an elf with blonde hair (I
had to reload a few times to get the answer right) she will give you the
Cloak.
- Quinn and Nester's Dagger
Enter Quinn's house and he'll bug you to go check the Baldur's Gate Bridge
area for signs of Nester who was attacked by an Ankheg. Go there, and to
the north of Tenya's cottage you will find an Ankheg, kill it and take the
dagger from its body. Take the dagger back to Quinn for your reward: 950
exp, a Shandon Gem, and a Reputation +1.
Quinn: NW Section (AR 0100, x 3676 y 2225)
Ankheg: Baldur's Gate Bridge (x 4070 y 100)
- The Twin's Boogeyman
There is a "Boogeyman" peeping on a pair of twins near the center of this
area. Talk to one of the girls, and she'll say that they're being peeped
upon. Then a mage named Gervasse will enter and tell you that a Druid
called Voltine is to blame for this. Seems she is polymorphing into
something unpleasant. Well Voltine will appear in the room, go talk to
her, and she says that Gervasse is to blame. Interesting. Go kill
Gervasse (900 exp, Robe, 72gp) and then report to Voltine. She'll give you
a Wand of Polymorph for your trouble. Go talk to one of the twins to get a
Scroll (protection from evil) and 1000 exp.
Twins: NW Section (AR 0100, x 2770 y 2270)
- Wanted: Algernon's Cloak
A Dwarf named Pheirkas has need of Algernon's Cloak, so long as you don't
kill Algernon. Go to the Feldepost's Inn and filch it off of him (if you
haven't already), and bring it back for a reward: 300 exp, and 200 gp.
Pheirkas: NW Section (AR 0100, x y )
Feldepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
Other:
- The Maulers and the Gorpel Hind
In the Helm and Cloak Inn you will find four Adventurer's from the Gorpel
Hind at the bar. Talk to the second from bottom person and tell him your
adventures from the Cloakwood forest and Mines. Now go back to the
entrance of the Inn and you will be accosted by Gretek and the Maulers.
You aren't going to take that are you? A big fight breaks out, and the
Gorpel Hind will help you fight off the Maulers--although they aren't all
that helpful! If you really want their help, lead the Maulers up towards
the bar.
Gretek--1200 exp, Battle Axe +2, Plate Mail, 86gp
Caturak--750 exp, Composite Long Bow, Arrows, 25gp
Wilf--800 exp, Minor Treasures
Nader--750 exp, Magic Arrows, Minor Treasures
Arlin--850 exp, Adventurer's Robe, Gem, 38 gp
Pargus--900 exp, Bracers AC 7, Long Sword +1, Gem, 48 gp
Helm and Cloak: NW Section (AR 0100, x 3550 y 2900)
Scott Slonaker adds this:
When you go to that bar and talk with Gorpel Hind, Gretek and his buddies
show up and start a fight. They have pretty decent treasure. But what
I've discovered (and this has been done several times) is that you can
talk to Gorpel another time, immediately after the first and ANOTHER
Gretek and Co. shows up! You can then waste all of 'em for double
experience and double treasure. You have to be careful if you're going
to use Fireball or something similar to get the extras, though, as some
of the time I also knocked off the waiter hanging around, and lost half
of my 20 reputation. (Of course, with the cash you get, getting back to
18 isn't too tough.) And a couple of Gretek's buddies (specifically, the
archer with the mean arrows) can get deceptively tough when they're
twins. Be sure to position your guys ahead of time.

15h. Baldur's Gate N Section (AR 0200) [HBLDNS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Mustard Jellies, Ghasts, Hobgoblin Elites, Kobold Commandos,
Treasures: Cloak of Protection +1 (Petrine's Cat Angel)
Helm of Glory (Jardak's House)
Long Sword +1 (Jardak's House)
Amulet of Metaspell Influence (Ramazith)
Ring of Protection +2 (Ramazith)
Tome of Clear Thought, INT +1 (Ramazith's Tower)
Plot:
- Lots of good items to pick up here.
Subquests:
- Petrine's Cat Angel
Petrine has run away, and the only thing she misses from her old way of
life is her cat angel. Go into the house that she's standing by (do not
listen to Bheren when he says he wants you to kill the cat! You can pick
his pocket to get a Cloak of Protection +1 as well), go upstairs. Search
the drawer to find an Angel Skin Ring. Take this to Petrine. For your
trouble you get 500 exp.
Petrine: N Section (AR 0200, x 660 y 2775)
- Rinnie's Book
Rinnie wants you to pick up a Book for her so that she can have a more
reliable source of information than mere hearsay. If you have a History of
Unicorn Run, give it to her. (it's BOOK55 if you just want to cheat it)
Your reward: 900 exp, and a Protection from Poison Scroll. You can find
the book in Ramazith's tower at the top level.
Rinnie: N Section (AR 0200, x 1200 y 2800)
- Ramazith and Ragefast's Nymph
Just in front of the Giant Pagoda tower you will be propositioned (not THAT
way!) by a Mage to fetch him a Nymph (ok, maybe it IS that way!) from
another Mage, Ragefast. Go to the W Section of the City and into
Ragefast's home. Talk to Ragefast, and he isn't about to hand the Nymph
over, so you'll have to kill him (2000 exp, Amulet +1, Knave's Robe, Wand
of Paralyzation), and take her yourself. (or you could free her yourself
and get 2000 exp and Nymph's Hair) Take her back to Ramazith. Now here's
what I would do here. Give her to Ramazith, then kill him and free her.
Ramazith--400 exp, Amulet of Metaspell Influence, Ring of Protection +2.
If you had freed the Nymph before this, just kill Ramazith and take his
nice treasures.
Jesse LaCroix sent me this:
For some reason, when I returned the nypmh to Ramazith, he rewarded me
with nothing. No treasure or XP. After you retrieve the Nymph for
him, instead of killing him immedietely for 400 (four hundred) XP,
lounge around in his entry room for a bit, and he will become angry and
demand that you leave.
If you try to talk to him first, you won't get the desired response, so
let him talk to you. Say something to piss him off, and he will fling
a lightning bolt (I let him hit my lead character wearing boots of
grounding and the Helmet of Defense which offers 20% Elec resistance.)
and teleport to the top of the tower and say something to the effect of
"find me in the top of the tower if you dare." Each level sports a
small troop of monsters. The first one is the toughest (nasty Mustard
Jellies) and the rest are relatively mediocre... Ghasts, Archer
Hobgoblins, and Elite Kobolds. Finally at the top is Ramazith. Easily
dispatched, killing him THIS way gives you 4000 (four thousand) XP.
The Nymph can then be rescured for the normal 2000 xp and lock of hair
before or after you go to the top of the tower. Killing all the
monsters on the way up also provides a moderate bit of treasure and
some good XP, and I even found an Angel Skin Ring on one of the Ghasts
so I don't have to go and buy one for that Flaming Fist guy.
Ramazith: N Section (AR 0200, x 3620 y 1585)
Ragefast: W Section (AR 0600, x 2875 y 475)
- The Noblewoman and Cyrdemac
On the third floor of the Three Kegs Inn you will find a Noblewoman who
wants you to find and kill Cyrdemac in an Elfsong Tavern. He has been
spreading "rumors" about her. She offers you 2000 gp as an incentive.
Return when he's dead and she'll pay you only 500 gold. You could
blackmail her, then return in 2 days for another 500 gold. Now if you
return a few days later and she'll have hired someone to kill you. Oh
dear.
Interestingly, if you search her floor for treasure (most of it minor
stuff) you'll find a cabinet with 208 Ziose Gems. (Lucky Dog)
TRICK: (from Thomas de Roode) In the city of Baldur's Gate, there is an
Inn at the north section, called the Three Old Kegs. On the upper
floor of the Inn, there is a Noblewoman who wants you to get rid of
some guy Cyrdemac in the Elfsong Tavern. Instead of doing that,
charm the Noblewoman. Talk to her again, and she'll give you 500 gp
for your trouble. Talk to her over and over and over again, and
every time you get 500 gp from her! There's no limit in this I
think! So now you can get rich without cheating.
Noblewoman: N Section (AR 0200, x 3700 y 2370)
Cyrdemac: Baldur's Gate (AR , x y )
Other:
- Jardak's House
When you enter Jardak's house his butler (Drelik) will assume that you are
Thieves (which you probably are) and will attack you (1200 exp, Short
Sword +1). Go upstairs and you'll find Jardak himself, and he'll attack
you as well. (3600 exp, Helm of Glory, Long Sword +1, etc.)
Jardak: N Section (AR 0200, x 2450 y 1230)
- Ramazith's Tower
Climb Ramazith's Tower and you will encounter different enemies on each
level. On the first level Mustard Jellies, second Ghasts, third Hobgoblin
Elites, fourth Kobold Commandos. On the top level you find a library.
There are bunches of History Books here, 4 Spells, a Tome of Clear Thought
(which raises your stats by INT +1), a Wand of Paralyzation, 400gp, and
a Potion.
Tip: You can pickpocket Ramazith to get a Ring of Protection+2 and Amulet
of Metaspell Influence. Then if you end out killing him, you get those
items again. (Yamian)

15i. Sewers Beneath Baldur's Gate (AR 0224, AR 0225, and AR 0226) [ISWRSB]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Phase Spiders, Ghasts, Kobold Commandos, Mustard Jellies, Carrion
Crawlers
Treasures: Bastard Sword +1 (See The Sewers, Baldur's Gate SW Section)
Plot:
- We're here to finish the subquest that Scar gave us (The Sewers, Baldur's
Gate SW Section).
- Once in Chapter 7, you can use the sewers to get from one point in the city
to another in order to avoid the Flaming Fist Soldiers that will be
patrolling for you. Personnally, I think it is easier to simply run away
from the Flaming Fist Soldiers that'll see you and not use the sewers at
all. The enemies keeps respawning here so you could waste a lot of
valuable ammunition on them.
AR 0224:
- You'll find Schlumpsha The Sewer King here. He and his goons have standard
treasures. You can also choose to fighting them or not (depending on how
you answer with them).
Schlumpsha The Sewer King and friends: Sewers (AR 0224, x 2236 y 2063)

Exit to basement of the Iron Throne Tower: Sewers (AR 0224, x 66 y 417)
- All other exits either lead out to the streets or to Sewers AR 0225.
AR 0225:
- You'll find the arrogant Kobold Commando named Ratchild here. Ratchild has
killed some people so do the same to him. Be advised that once attacked,
he'll summons his clan (some Kobolds Commandos) to assist him. They'll all
appear in the adjacent tunnels so if your party is in the middle of the
room (near Ratchild), they will get pelted from every side. The
recommended tactic is to send your best (and most padded) fighter to
initiate the conversation while the rest of your party hangs back in one of
the tunnels. When the fight begins, almost all of the summoned Kobold
Commandos will attack your fighter (since they won't have a line of sight
with the rest of your party. Take out Ratchild quickly since although he's
just a Kobold Commando, he can cast spells. They all have standard Kobold
Commandos treasures.
Ratchild: Sewers (AR 0225, x 2304 y 2090)
- Exit to Undercellar
Exit to Undercellar: Sewers (AR 0225, x 2182 y 3243)
- All other exits lead out to the streets, to Sewers AR 0224 (exits on the
left hand side of the map) or to Sewers AR 0226 (exits on the right hand
side of the map).
AR 0226:
- You'll find an Ogre Mage here (see subquest The Sewers, Baldur's Gate SW
Section) with some Carrion Crawlers around him (his pets).
Ogre Mage: Sewers (AR 0226, x 1354 y 1587)
- There are 4 places (corpses) to search for some treasures.

16. Candlekeep Revisited (AR 2626) [16CNDL]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Dopplegangers, Greater Dopplegangers
Treasures: Ring of Protection +1 (Koveras)
Plot:
- We're here to search for the leaders of the Iron Throne.
- Make your way to the Central Keep (I would go to the Inn first, and sleep
until you gain your new special ability first) and go inside. You get to
watch a little movie (which is quite inconveniently placed on Disc 2) and
then you're inside. Almost immediately Karan your old tutor will come up
and talk to you. You can trust him. He has some things to say about this
new person Koveras, who apparantly knows the prophecies of Alaundo by
heart.
- On the second level you will encounter Koveras who wants to give you a Ring
of Protection +1, it doesn't matter if you take it in the end, although it
will change what happens slightly. Also on the second level is Chanter
who will tell you about the Catacombs under Candlekeep.
- On the Third level you can find the Leaders of the Iron Throne, and if you
didn't take the Ring, Koveras told you to kill them.
- On the Fourth Level you will find Shistal, and although he looks like a
Monk he is really a Greater Doppleganger. Keep on harassing him until he
gives up the charade.
- On the Fifth Level we can find Gorion's Old Room (x 665 y 1000) and a
letter that explains once and for all who you are. You are the "spawn of
bhaal" one of the "Dead Three" (if you bothered to read that book). As
such you are special, and therefore everyone (most especially Sarevok and
later Joneleth Irenicus) wants to use you for their own purposes.
- On the Sixth Level you will be arrested for killing the leaders of the Iron
Throne whether you did it or not. (so you may as well do it before coming
up to this level, hey if you're going to do the time anyway... may as well
do the crime!) Let him arrest you and take you to their prison. Ulraunt
will visit you, but has nothing nice to say. Then Tethtoril will appear,
ask him about Koveras and he'll say that Koveras is Sarevok backwards.
Take him up on his offer of teleportation to get to the Candlekeep
Catacombs.
Subquests: none
Other:
- The Priest of Oghma
If you want a taste of things to come, go into the priest's house (it's
where we were attacked back in the Prologue) and bother the priest a lot
about what he is doing to the cat (he says he is studying it, but I suspect
that he was going to eat it), he will turn into a Doppleganger and attack
you.
Priest's House: Candlekeep (x 2970 y 425)
- Parda
You can find Parda in the Bunkhouse, but he isn't a Doppleganger. He tells
you that he feels something foul afoot, and although we already knew that,
it shows that not everyone is a complete fool missing the evil right under
their noses.
Bunkhouse: Candlekeep (x 2870 y 2650)
- Cadderly
An old friend of Gorion is near the entrance to the central library. You
can reminisce about old times if you want.
Cadderly: Candlekeep (x 3100 y 2070)
- Star Sapphire (from Silviu)
On the second floor of the Candlekeep Inn, there is a lock that is very
hard to pick. You'll probably not be able to open it in the Prologue but
when you come back in chapter 6, you'll be able to do so. Inside there is
a Star Saphire (worth 1000 Gp).

those before you leave the Catacombs. Oh and there are lots of traps, so
be careful.
- Go down the hall to (x 3400 y 1250) where you will be attacked by the
Phlydia Doppleganger. The NW and SW passages lead to various treasures,
the way out is to the NE.

17a. Candlekeep Catacombs 2 (AR 2619) [ACNLC2]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dopplegangers, Skeletons, Greater Dopplegangers
Plot:
- Almost immediately you will be attacked by the Dreppin Doppleganger. You
may also encounter the Dwarf Arkanis here, he won't turn into a
Doppleganger and attack you, so you can trust him.
- Wander up to the NW into the passage and you'll find Elminster and Gorion.
Now I bet you're thinking that they are Dopplegangers. Well you are right.
If you follow them down the passage, they'll all turn into Dopplegangers
and attack you.
- Continue down and out the passage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Sword Spiders, Phase Spiders, Wraith Spiders, Greater Basilisks,
Treasures: Throwing Axe +2 (Prat)
Plot:
- Wander a little to the south to find a band of Sarevok's goonies, who will
attack you. Be sure to get the letter from Prat's corpse, as it explains
all of Sarevok's evil schemes. Convenient.
Prat--1400 exp, Throwing Axe +2, 5 Spells, 170gp
Bor--650 exp, Magic Darts, Minor Treasures
Sakul--1600 exp, 6 Spells, 130 gp
Tam--1300 exp, Magic Arrows, 1 Spell, Minor Treasures
- Head in a general southerly direction until you get to the Basilisks lair
(x 1000 y 2000), and then go down the south passage which goes west.
- Talk to Diarmid and impersonate Prat. Pump him for as much information as
you can get about the Iron Throne's scurvy schemes. Exit the Cave and
Chapter 7 should start.

18. Baldur's Gate Revisited [18BLDG]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Remember to rest in an Inn to get your Special Ability for this chapter.
Also try to avoid the Flaming Fist as they don't like you anymore.
After all you did for them.
Note: If you get arrested by the Fist, talk to Neb to get yourself released.
The answer to his sequence thing is 33.
Note: If you get caught by flaming fist but you have Shar-Teel in your group,
then Angelo will release you. Why? It seems that Shar-Teel is the
daughter of Angelo! (from Jones)
Enemies: Flaming Fist
Treasures: Short Sword of Backstabbing +3 (Slythe)
Dagger +2 Longtooth (Krystin)
Sling +1 (Krystin)
Plot:
- After doing the Full Plate +1 quest (see below) go to the Harbor at
Baldur's Gate and a peasant will talk to you, mentioning that Sarevok is
about to become the Grand Duke. Goodie.
- Enter the Iron Throne compound, and you'll find Dhanial trying to flee.
Talk to her and pump her for information on Sarevok's plans. A little
further in you'll find Pang who has a little more info on Sarevok. Go
upstairs to find yet another dispirited Iron Throne goon, Gregor. He may
attack you if you answer him wrong (650 exp, Short Sword +1, 150 gp). Also
Tralithan can be found on this level, and yes he has more information on
Sarevok. Go upstairs again and talk to Kalessia, who is from the main
branch of the Iron Throne. Go upstairs again and talk to Wirthing here.
- Go up to the last level and talk to Cythandria, and you'll have to fight
her and two Ogres. Make sure to get the Diary of Sarevok off her body.
She also has two letters on her from the assassins of the Grand Dukes.
Cynthandria--2000 exp, 144gp
- Go to the N Section of the City and a Flaming Fist named Sorrel will talk
to you telling you that Angelo is taking over the Flaming Fist, and that
Duke Eltan has taken sick. Find a Flaming Fist and get yourself arrested
(it's faster this way). You'll be confronted by Angelo in the Flaming Fist
HQ, and he will reveal that he is under the employ of Sarevok, although
that hardly seems to matter now. He may kill one of your party. You will
be stuffed into a jail cell. Talk to Neb a few times until he offers to
get you out of jail, the answer to his sequence is 33.
- Go back into the Fist HQ, and go up the stairs (you can fight the battle on
the main floor if you want, or can't get past it). Talk to Kent here, who
says that the healer working on Eltan isn't all that he seems. Go into the
next room and talk to the healer, and accuse him of ... whatever. He'll
turn into a Greater Doppleganger and attack you. Talk to Eltan and he'll
ask to be taken to the Harbormaster's House to recover, and he'll also give
you a letter and a charge, to find the Assassins Slythe and Kristin before
they can kill the last two Dukes.
- Take Eltan to the Harbormaster (x 2650 y 1835) and you'll get 2500 exp.
- Go back to the Iron Throne building, go inside, and go down into the
basement. (The stairs down are in the SE corner of the main floor)
Dispatch the guard, and search for the door to the sewers. Now go out the
exit at (AR 0224, x 100 y 800) to get to the Undercellars. Walk down into
the place a bit until you bump into the two assassins. They'll talk
amongst themselves for a bit then attack you. Kill them and take the
scrolls from off of Slythe, one of them is an Invitation to Sarevok's
Coronation. Slythe--5000 exp, Short Sword of Backstabbing +3, Minor
Treasures Krystin--3000 exp, 7 Spells, Magic Bullets, Dagger +2 Longtooth,
Sling +1
Another way into the Undercellar is to go through the back door in the
Blushing Mermaid. (If you missed the Cloak of Balduran the first time
through the city, make sure to pick it up now, see NE Section above for
more details.)
- Go to the N Section of the city, and to the Ducal Palace (you can't miss
it). Talk to the guard there and show him the invitation. Go inside.
Subquests:
- The Full Plate +1 Quest (from Silviu)
When you enter Baldur's Gate in Chapter 7, there is a nice quest that you
can do and that leads eventually to the best armor in the game, the Full
Plate Mail +1. First, you'll have to find Tamoko (Sarevok's lover) near
the center of this map, by the Sorcerous Sundries. She will begin to talk
to you and what is really important in this first encounter is that you
tell her that you did NOT kill the Iron Throne leaders in Candlekeep,
otherwise she won't continue the discussion. After a few exchanges, she'll
tell you to meet her in front of the Flaming Fist Castle in the SW part of
the city. Do so. There, she'll tell you that Sarevok was not as lucky as
you in life and that he had no one to guide him. She'll tell you that he
is not that evil after all and that Cythandria is the one that has a bad
influence on him. She will ask you to remove her and will make you promise
that when the final battle comes, you will not kill Sarevok, as silly as it
may seem. Promise her that. Then, do the rest of the quests in the city
until you come in front of Sarevok's house in the Undercity. There, you'll
meet Tamoko again and she'll tell you that Sarevok's considers her as a
traitor now and that she has to kill you to regain his confidence. You can
talk her out of it, but fighting her is ultimately the best (and most
rewarding) solution. Besides the Flail +1 and Large Shield +1, she also
carries the very nice Full Plate Mail +1.
Note: While the Full Plate +1 is the best armor, the best combination of
armor and other items is the regular Full Plate and a the Ring or
Cloak of Protection +2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. Ducal Palace (AR 0108) [19THDC]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first enter the palace you get to watch a little movie (Disc 5).
Plot:
- Once inside they ask for your invitations again.
- Go forward just a bit into the next room to watch the Coronation Ceremony.
Things go well until Sarevok notices you, and then all the nobles turn back
into Dopplegangers and attack you and the other two Dukes there. Kill
the Dopplegangers (don't let the Dukes get killed now!), and then show the
Duke your evidence against Sarevok. Sarevok gets mad and decides to
attack.
- Beat Sarevok up until he teleports away. Belt will then Divine where he
went and teleport you to the Thieves' Guild.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. On the Trail of Sarevok [20NTHT]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Green Slimes, Ochre Jellies, Mustard Jellies, Grey Ooze, Doom Guards,
Skeleton Warriors, Invisible Stalkers,
Plot:
- You'll appear in the Thieves' Guild and they seem a bit put out by all the
people teleporting into their location. Ask where Sarevok went and they'll
point you down the stairs at (x 1050 y 500). He also mentions that you
can buy supplies here if you need.
- You'll find a wounded thief down here who can give you some information on
what you're facing, the Thieves' Maze.
- The Thieves' Maze is surprisingly straightforward with little challenge
(besides the monsters and traps anyway). Make your way through the maze
and eventually you will end out at (x 550 y 1180) to talk to one of
Sarevok's allies whom Sarevok has discarded. Talk to him then go out the
exit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. The Hidden City (AR 0123) [21THHD]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first enter the Hidden City you will be treated to a movie (Disc
5 still).
Enemies: Skeletons, Skeleton Warriors, Ghouls, Ghasts, Zombies, Battle Horrors
Plot:
- Walk to the west a little bit until you are confronted by Rahvin of the
Iron Throne. Say what you will, he'll attack you anyway.
Gorf--2000 exp, 2 Spells, Minor Treasures
Haseo--1500 exp, Ring of Protection +1, Long Sword +1, 64gp
Rahvin--1800 exp, Ring of Protection +1, Magic Arrows, 1 Spell
Carston--2400 exp, Magic Arrows, Minor Treasures
Wudei--1200 exp, Studded Leather +1, 14gp
Shaldrissa--1200 exp, Robe, etc.
- When you're ready go to the Big Building that is the only non-ruined
structure here (x 1688 y 1327) and go inside.
- Here you have to fight a really big (and final) battle. You needn't kill
the supporting goons if you don't want, you only have to get rid of
Sarevok.
Once that is done then you have won the game!
Angelo--9800 exp, Long Bow +1, Magic Arrows, Wand of Lightning
Tazok--4000 exp, Minor Treasures
Semaj--3000 exp, Robe, 2 Spells, 85 gp
Strategy on fighting Sarevok (from Dennis Matheson):
While in Baldur's Gate I stocked up on as many Monster Summoning II
scrolls and Potions of Explosions/Oils of Firey Burning as I could find.
Then, in the final battle with Sarevok I did the following.
I equipped my main character with Boots of Speed and gave him the
potions/oils and the Necklace of Missiles. He walked around the carving
on the floor until I could just see the corner of the podium that Sarevok
and his cronies are on. I then started tossing the potions and missiles
at the podium. I couldn't see any of them but they kept taking damage.
It took a *lot* of potions but eventually I killed Angelo, Tazok and
Semaj without them ever taking a single action against me. (Apparently
they just stood there wondering where the explosions were coming from
until they died.)
Then, I had Dynaheir cast Monster Summoning II where my main character
was then had him step forward until Saverok saw him. After the
conversation exchange, I had everyone attack Saverok while my main
character ran out of the way. The summoned monsters kept Sarevok busy.
The entire party kept attacking Sarevok with missiles except for Dynaheir
who kept summoning monsters. Sarevok died without a single member of my
party taking a single hit. I took zero damage in the entire final
battle!
Congratulations on passing Baldur's Gate!

Tales of the Sword Coast WALKTHROUGH: [TLSFTH]
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Ulgoth's Beard (AR 1000) [1TSLGT]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first arrive at Ulgoth's Beard a little text blurb appears in
your window.
Companions: none
Enemies: none... yet
Plot:
- Ulgoth's Beard is a good starting point for any adventure into the other
areas in the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion. Come here before tackling
Durlag's Tower, for example.
Subquests:
- Hurgan's Soultaker
Inside the Ulgoth's Beard Inn is a Dwarf who has a bit of a mission for
you. He tells you the sad tale of the end of Durlag Trollkiller, and asks
that you retrieve an item from the Tower of Durlag, a dagger called the
Soultaker (which belonged to his grandda). Agree to help him. You'll find
the Soultaker deep within Durlag's Tower.
Hurgan: Ulgoth's Beard (x 2360 y 535)
- Shandalar's Quest
The Mage Shandalar asks that you perform a little retrieval operation for
him. Agree to it (if you don't want to be teleported there right now, ask
for some time to prepare) and he will teleport you to a bizarre ice place.
He wants you to pick up his cloak which is located somewhere in this
dungeon. But beware, there are a great many surly mages in here, who have
apparantly been trapped here for years. And they aren't too happy that you
have a way out! Check out the Ice Dungeon sub section below for more
information on it. Give him the cloak to get your reward: 500 exp.
Tip: You can pickpocket some potions and spells off Shandalar. (Yamian)
Or you can try to kill him...
Shandalar: Ulgoth's Beard (x 1712 y 644)
Cloak: Ice Dungeon (x 711 y 259)
- Kill Shandalar!! (from Sir Erik Esoteric)
After doing the Shandalra's Cloak quest in Ulgoth's Beard, I was quite
annoyed that I only got 500xp for completing it. I decided reuniting
him with his daughter's was the better option, and proceeded to attack
him. I quickly learned that his spells could not be interrupted and
after losing several times, decided on a new method. Casting haste and
chant on my party and summoning Holy Might for my main character, I
beefed up our protections a bit. I positioned my melee characters
around him and kept my archers/spell casters in the distance (Shandalar
loves to use lightning bolts). I force attacked him and had my mage begin
pelting him with magic missiles. The first thing Shandalar will do is cast
minor globe of invulnerability, but with your improved speed you can hit
him with 3 sets of magic missiles (as well as any other damage) before the
globe hits. As soon as the globe is up, cast dispel magic (which also
eliminates the effects of his second spell, confusion). You will lose all
of your protections (hence why you shouldn't cast more than the ones I
listed) on your melee characters, but if your archers and spell casters are
far enough away they should keep all of their enhancements. Shandalar will
then target one character with lightning over and over again, so watch his
health to make sure he doesn't die. The rest is just hacking him to death,
and keep using magic missiles as Shandalar's protections are now gone.
After this is all done, you will lose some reputation BUT you will get the
robe of Neutral Archmagi, 2 potions of Heroism (ironically), many spells,
and a whopping 26,000xp! By this point of the game, you should have plenty
of gold to get your reputation back up. I figured it's a much better option
than taking the 500xp he offers if you talk to him, and you get to keep his
stupid cloak!
Tip: Others have sent in their strategies for killing Shandalar as well.
He sure is popular! They mostly involve using mass magic missiles
before he gets his defenses up. Brad McClintock suggests using a
Wand of Paralyzation before attacking.
- Mendas' Quest
Some time ago the Merchant's League in Baldur's Gate found a shipwreck
believed to be that of Balduran himself. Mendas would very much like to
get his hands on Balduran's Logbook, but to do so he needs you to get the
Charts from the Merchant's League's Counting House in Baldur's Gate. Agree
to help him. You'll find the Counting House in the North East Section
(AR 0300). Unlock it and go inside. If you want to get through this
non-violently, tell the Guard that you are here to clear your debt, and
that you have Tea and Spices from Kara-Tur. Go upstairs and talk to the
captain. Ask him if there is anything that you can do for him, and he'll
ask for the hardest liquor from Te'Tranion at the Blushing Mermaid. Get it
for him to get the Charts, or just steal them. Return to Mendas and give
him the charts. He will give you 2000 gp, and tell you to meet him at his
boat. Go north and west up to the docks and talk to Mendas again, get on
the ship and go. You will shipwreck on Werewolves island. (see that
section below)
Mendas: Ulgoth's Beard (x 850 y 1250)
Charts: Baldur's Gate, North East Section (x 2350 y 3100)
- Therella's Son Dalton
Therella has a son who took to the life of adventuring and went to Durlag's
Tower, and never returned. His mother, Therella, asks that you find him
and if possible return him. After you've rescued Dalton, go back to
Therella to get your reward: 300gp. She'll also tell you that Dalton is
out adventuring again. Idiot.
Therella: Ulgoth's Beard (x 1555 y 416)
Dalton: Durlag's Tower, Underground, Level Six (x 1160 y 470)
- Ike's Tours
If you would like a tour of Durlag's Tower (which is completely
unnecessary, you can go there on your own at any time) you can talk to Ike
who will set up a tour for you. It costs 60gp, and you have to get to the
tower on your own.</pre><pre id="faqspan-8">
Ike: Ulgoth's Beard (x 2181 y 632)
Other:
- Galken's Runestone
Inside the Ulgoth's Beard Inn, near the Innkeeper you will find a commoner
named Galken who will give you a Runestone if you pay his bar tab (900 gp).
Agree to do so to get the Runestone. He warns you that someone may be
after that Rune (which he just may have stolen). The Rune is important
for Durlag's Tower.
Galken: Ulgoth's Beard (x 2360 y 535)
- Delsvirftanyon's Liquidation Sale
Delsvirftanyon is selling off everything he has and for the low low price
of only 500 measely gp you can have his entire inventory! You mostly get
some crap, but you do get one Dwarven Runestone (the other Rune he has is a
forgery).
Delsvirftanyon: Ulgoth's Beard (x 1573 y 1186)
- Fenrus
If you need more information on Durlag's Tower, you can come by the Docks
and talk to Fenrus.
Fenrus: Ulgoth's Beard (x 615 y 1322)
- Dushai
If you want more information on Balduran's Last Voyage, you can go talk to
Dushai near the entrance to Ulgoth's Beard. You will have to bribe her to
get her to talk, though. She will only talk to you AFTER you have already
talked to Mendas.
Dushai: Ulgoth's Beard (x 2443 y 811)
- Ring of Free Action (from Master.SoR)
If you pick pocket the meditating dwarf to the East of Shandalar she has
a ring of free action!

2. Durlag's Tower (exterior) (AR 0500) [2TSDRL]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first approach Durlag's Tower you get to watch a little movie
about it (on Disc 6).
Companions: none
Enemies: Battle Horrors, Skeletons, Basilisks, Greater Basilisks,
Doppelgangers, Greater Doppelgangers
Plot:
- We need to get inside the tower (x 2700 y 2200).

If you hired Ike back in Ulgoth's Beard, you'll find him just past the
first gate on the way into the tower. Talk to him, and then follow him.

You can get up the other wall by going up a large staircase to fight, yes
more Battle Horrors and more Skeletons.
Stairs: Durlag's Tower, Exterior (x 4100 y 1950)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2a. Durlag's Tower (interior, above ground) (AR 0502) [ATSDTI]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Beware of traps while in the Tower! It's safe to assume that every
chest that you'll come across will be trapped, and that most passageways
are as well. Use your thief's Detect Trap skill wisely! Also I suggest
that you don't just use the Quick Save while in Durlag's Tower, have
several backup saves ready just in case...
Companions: none
Enemies: Ghasts
Treasures: Staff Spear +2 ¯¯|
Leather Armor +? |-- Nymph's Hair
Short Sword +? __|
Robe of Electrical Resistance ¯¯|
Cloak of Protection +1 |
Darts of Wounding |
Darts of Stunning |-- Treasures (in Other below)
Halberd +1 |
20 Acid Arrows |
Scimitar +2 __|
Walkthrough:
Entry Level (AR 0502): Not much to do here. Ike is at (x 565 y 649) if you
hired him. Be advised that there is a trap at (x 473 y 356).
There are two separate sets of stairs here. The central stairs
goes up and down, and the other set of stairs only goes up. Go up
either one.
Note: If you hired Ike, talk to him several times until you get
a conversation option. Buy the token from him (doesn't
matter how much you pay, you'll get it back), and a Demon
will appear and start shooting Fireballs.
So it would be wise to talk to Ike with only ONE of your
party, have the others hide. Then try to dodge the
fireballs. Oh, and you can't kill the demon yet, so don't
bother trying.
Second Level (AR 0503): There are some minor treasures here, as well as some
Ghasts and lots of traps. Again there is more than one way to go
up, pick one and go up the stairs. The chest in the south room is
trapped. Also note that there is a way to the balcony outside at
(x 1010 y 770). If you want to go out there, be careful as there
are a lot of Basilisks out there (1 Lesser Basilisk and 3 Greater
Basilisks but they give good EXP, and there are some good items on
the top balcony (see Other below) so...).
Third Level (AR 0504): Here you can talk to Riggilo (see the Nymph's Hair
subquest below), a fellow adventurer, if a bit of a jerk. You can
also take the Southern Passage here to find a Ghost (see Ghost
down in the Other section). Also don't forget to pick up the Tome
of Understanding (x 1350 y 125) before going up to the next level.
Be advised that this Tome is trapped by a Dire Charm Spell so send
only one character to get the book and after, dispel the Dire Charm
Spell (unless not charmed). There are also two trap on this level
which are at (x 479 y 786) and (x 1314 y 698).
Fourth Level (AR 0505): There are some good treasures here, as well as
Kirinhale the Nymph (see Nymph's Hair in subquests, as well as
Treasures in Other). There is a trap at (x 1218 y 487).
Subquests:
- Nymph's Hair -- Levels 3 and 4
In the tower on level 3 you will come across a jerk named Riggilo. Don't
kill him. On level 4, you'll find a Nymph named Kirinhale at
(x 239 y 357), agree to help her out, and she gives you a lock of Nymph
Hair. Go back to Riggilo and give him the hair. If he doesn't trust you,
tell him that you don't want a "Dagger in my back", and he'll trade you a
Potion of Storm Giant Strength for it. Finally go back to the Nymph and
get your reward: 4000 exp. Also Riggilo is now trapped in the tower for
eternity. It's win-win! If you want, go back and talk to Riggilo again,
and he will get upset and attack you. Kill him for 1400 more exp, and some
minor treasures.
A bizarre bug hit me here, each time I went to Level 4, it was like I had
never been there before. In other words, I could complete this subquest as
many times as I liked!! See the Strange Things section for more info on
this and other bugs. If you instead killed Kirinhale you get 3000 exp, a
Staff Spear +2, and a Lock of Hair.
Riggilo: Durlag's Tower, Above Ground, Level 3 (AR 0504, x 1350 y 600)
Kirinhale: Durlag's Tower, Above Ground, Level 4 (AR 0505, x 220 y 360)

4 gp: Entrance Level (AR 0502, x 285 y 557)
2 gp: Entrance Level (AR 0502, x 845 y 847)
- Treasures on top balcony
Here you can find 104 gp, 20 acid arrows and a Scimitar +2. Be careful
though, it is trapped (fireball).
Treasures: Top of Tower (AR 0500, x 2305 y 570)
- Free Black Opal -- Level 2, Above Ground
Black Opal: Durlag's Tower, Above Ground, Level 2 (AR 0503, x 624 y 99)

6 gp: Durlag's Tower, Above Ground, Level 2 (AR 0503, x 775 y 135)
- Ghost -- Level 3, Above Ground
In the southern passage on level three you will find a ghost who mistakes
you for Durlag. Say what you will to him, for no matter what you say, he
will attack you. Also note that the Chest by the ghost is trapped.

2b. Durlag's Tower (interior, UnderGround) (AR 0511, 0512, 0513) [BTSIND]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: To get underground, go back to the level where we entered the tower, and
take the stairs that go down in the center of the chamber. Beware of
traps while down here! It's safe to assume that every chest that you
open is trapped, and that most passageways are trapped as well. Use
your thief's Detect Trap skill wisely! Also I suggest that you don't
just use the Quick Save while in Durlag's Tower, have several backup
saves ready just in case...

Walkthrough:
Level 1 Underground (AR 0501): Talk to Bayard here (x 637 y 520) to find out
about the rest of Durlag's Tower. If you came in search of Dalton
(see Ulgoth's Beard above), then you can also ask him about that.
When done, he'll vanish forever. You can pick up some treasures
here. There are some traps here: (x 297 y 427) and (x 599 y 591)
and 3 near (x 1174 y 393). There is a secret door at (x 473
y 158).
When done, go through the secret passage at (x 470 y 160).
Level 2 Underground (AR 0511): There is a fireball trap just past the door
here. Lots of treasures here (magic arrows, money and others) and
too numerous to give coordinates of each of them so be thorough.
Go South and West until you reach the 4 Dwarf Warders near
(x 2010 y 1150). Talk to each of them. They all have a little
riddle for you to solve, and they aren't all that difficult, if you
know what you are doing. There are also quite a large number of
trapped chests with various assortments of goodies here (like Magic
Arrows, and Spells and such). There is also a lot of hidden doors
on this Level so keep your Thief's Detect Trap Skill on at all
times.
The Four Dwarven Warders Puzzle:
As you complete each puzzle (you'll know when you do),
you can go back to the Warder, and talk to the one that asked
the riddle you've just finished. He'll then disappear and
you'll get 2000 exp (you'll get 2000 exp for each riddle you
complete).
Drop down to the round library (x 250 y 1500), and click on
all of the books. After that is done, you will hear a click.
Go into the room across the hall to see Durlag's Pride (Sword)
at (x 1004 y 1417) being raised in Glory (or something like
that).
Wander over to the treasury, fight off its Skeletal Guardians
(x 1660 y 2100) and search the piles for a Big Blue Gem
(called a Glittering Beljuril Gemstone) and an Oddly Shaped
Key. There are some other treasures here, like a Small
Shield +1. Now go south west into the bed chamber, and open
up the chest at (x 1409 y 2260), which had been locked. Open
the thing up and take the Switch for an Engine and whatever
treasures that you want.
Now go into the little closet (x 930 y 2200), and pick up the
Grapes, and any other treasures you want (Note: don't forget
that other chest in the bedchamber! see Second Level Treasures
below for what's inside).
Go up a little ways into a room with a giant machine
(x 2095 y 1525), and go up the ramp on its side, and on the
wall use your new switch. Now go up into the next room, and
use the Giant Wine Press (x 2869 y 1450) to make and fill a
bottle of Magic Wine (don't drink it).
Run up to well... another library (x 3400 y 850) and fight
your way through the Greater Dopplegangers. On one of the
shelves you will find a Mallet Head.
Go back to the 4 Dwarf Warders, and in a barrel just
to the south west of them (x 1530 y 1235) you will find
the Mallet Handle. Go up to the forge room (x 1628 y 222)
and use the Anvil there to repair the Mallet. Now head
south and west to get to the Gong Room (x 403 y 1096).
Click on the Gong.
Go back and talk to the Dwarves, they will attack you,
and you must kill them. Search their bodies to get a
Rune Stone to go to the next level.
Use the Elevator thing to go to Level 3.
Level 3 Underground (AR 0512): This level is my least favorite of the whole
Tower. Ugh. Lots of treasures here (magic arrows, money and
others) and too numerous to give coordinates of each of them so
be thorough. There is also a lot of hidden doors, and traps,
on this Level so keep your Thief's Detect Trap Skill on at all
times. Finally, if you attempt to rest, you'll be attacked by
a Greater Doppleganger that takes the forms of Durlag, Islanne
and Kiel.
Go Southwest into the room with all the weird Gargoyle Statues,
and two of them are Clickable. By all means, click them (x 952
y 1287) and (x 1075 y 1404).
Now go back to the center, and from there go south and east
into the bedroom, and take the Runes at (x 1675 y 1300),
(x 1820 y 1080) and (x 1925 y 1170). This causes Durlag to
appear, he mutters some craziness, then turns into a Greater
Doppleganger that you must destroy.
Now go back out, and back to the Center. Now the North West
door is open. Go up that way and whack the Sparring Dummies.
When you do, Durlag appears again, and makes even less sense
this time. Again he turns into a Greater Doppleganger.
Return to the Center again, and this time we can go North-East
and into the Throne Room. Go up and take the Helmet by the
Throne (x 2100 y 540), and again Durlag will appear. This
time, however, he explodes into three seperate Greater
Dopplegangers, and this battle is quite fun. Ugh.
Douglas D. sent me this:
"A little note on dealing with the throne-room dopplegangers
in Durlag's Tower that has worked for me. My main character
had the boots of speed at this point in the game (or use a
haste spell from one of the scrolls in the SE room). I had
him (a paladin) run up and grab the helm and race back to the
entrance, keeping the rest of the party in the entrance room
to that level. Everytime I ran back with the helm, the door
to the throne room would close after Durlag gives his crazy
speech. After that, the dopplegangers would cast their
cloudkill/stinking cloud spells and soften themselves up.
"After the spells disapated, I attacked the appropriate dummy
in the NW room, opened the door back up, and took out the
dopplegangers without too much trouble."
Go into the North West passage (you can go into the South East
one as well, but I like the NW one). Be very careful of traps
as there are about 8 or so in here. There is also a potion on
the ground, don't drink it. Once you go into the next room,
you will have to start fighting various members of Durlag's
family which are really Greater doppelgangers in disguise,
Islanne, Kiel, Fuernabol, and Durlag. They aren't as tough as
you might think.
In this room get the Teleportation Rune from a pot (x 865
y 700) once you have it, weird runes will appear on the ground.
Click on them to teleport to the other side of the room.
Go into the next room (x 392 y 1047) and disarm all the traps.
Every one of the treasures on the walls is trapped with
lightning and each contains a Potion of Healing. Go South-East
through the door and into the little room here. Search the
giant Statue (x 725 y 1165) to get the Exit Rune for this level
then quickly exit this room since the statue will soon after
start launching a couple of Cloudkill Spells.
Now go through the passage to the South West, of course you
have learned to check for traps, as there are fireball traps
down here as well as some Ghasts. Go down to the room with the
Stairs, but DON'T go down these stairs since they are trapped
and fake (x 1034 y 1868). If you do click on them, not only
will you stay on this level but a Stinking Cloud Spell will be
launched at the middle of the stairs (where your party is) and
some Skeleton Warriors will appear (pretty tough fight). If you
want go into the next room and search for treasures, it is
covered down in Other. To kill the 4 Dwarven Doom Guards
there, entangle them all with the spell of the same name
(although it is almost certain that you'll need more than 2
Entangle Spells to entangle them all). After that, start
launching Fireballs or Magic Missiles at them (preferably with
a wand) since they can endure a couple of these to kill them.
Be advised that if you decide to search the chest at the feet
of the bed, they'll attack you (that is why we kill them before
doing this since they are guarding it). You can also explore
the rest of the level (the other path) if you wish. There is a
secret door to the South that opens with the Rune stone
containing the real stairs that lead out of this level. Go
south and down these stairs (x 1044 y 2279).
Level 4 Underground (AR 0513): The first thing you'll notice when you open
the door is that Fireballs are being constantly fired in this
room. There are some treasures in this room (Magic Darts,
Potions, etc...) at (x 3094 y 1243) and (x 3176 y 1135) and
(x 3227 y 2039) and (x 3272 y 1253). To get them, you'll have
to cast Haste or equip one of your characters with Boots of
Speed (so that he can get away from the constantly shooting
Fireballs and not get fried). You'll need multiple passes to
get all the treasures from all 4 locations. Once you got what
you wanted, head into the North-West room.
In there, a skeleton (x 2365 y 632) will talk to you explaining
what you'll need to do to be able to get out of this room.
Basically, you can get your own little Hero Army by touching
the statues there. Do so, and you will get 5 Dire Charmed
"Heroes", although since some of them are monsters, it's not
very heroic. You can use them to fight off the Greater Wyverns
in here (use them as cannon fodder while the real firepower
comes from all of your characters equipped with ranged weapons.
And like all Dire Charmed creatures, they will eventually turn
on you (so once all 3 Greater Wyverns are dead, kill the
"Heroes". One of these "Heroes" has a Full Plate. In the
bottom left of this room is the exit.
Follow the tunnel but do not enter in any cavern yet. Instead,
get to a room with the large masks. Click on each of them to
know what is to do. At this point, you can either go into the
4 caverns and kill the "Special" Monster or explore the rest of
the level. There are 2 rooms to the north. The one to your
left has various round platforms and skeleton archers. There
are a lot of them, they aren't worth much xp, and don't have
any good treasures. Skip. The garden room at the East of the
map contains Kala's Axe (careful, it's trapped) and also 3
Ashirukurus (Invisible backstabbing Sirines). Once you're done
exploring, head back to the room with the masks.
There are now Four Tunnels each to the southwest, for
simplicity let's number them, the bottom-most being 1 the
topmost being 4. Enter each tunnel and kill every Special
Monsters that are inside. Once you kill the fourth special
Monster, you'll be automatically teleported out to a giant
chess board.
Tunnel 1: There are 2 or 3 Phoenix Guards in here. If you've
never fought these before, when you kill them, they
explode into a Fireball. Kill them with ranged
weapons, or use fire resistance. If you don't have
either, make sure they die separately. Make sure
that they are actually dead before continuing, as
they can return from death.
Tunnel 2: In this room you will find an Air Aspect (it looks
an awful lot like a Baby Wyvern but much faster) and
3 Invisible Stalkers.
Tunnel 3: Here you will find a Fission Slime. You must kill
it with Fire. Any other method, and the Slime will
divide and you'll have 2 to kill.
Tunnel 4: In this room are 4 winter wolves, and a Polar Bear
named Kaldran The Bear (if you want to gather their
pelts to sell in Nashkel, don't do this room last,
do tunnel 3 last).
You are now on a giant chess board. There are some vague rules
to follow here, but I wouldn't worry too much about them.
Launch your most powerful magics (such as oh... Fireball) to
take out the pawns, then lay into the more powerful enemies
with your fighters and archers. Be sure to check the treasures
when you win to get the Two Handed Sword +3 on the King.
Go through the north east door to get to the fifth level.
Level 5 Underground (AR 0514): Walk a little south and east, ignore the
door to the southwest, and talk to Durlag, but this time he
doesn't turn into anything and doesn't try to kill you. He
instead merely offers some advice. How nice.
Continue past him up the passage. You will notice a secret
door on the right (x 3293 y 1393), go into it and into a very
large green area. There are lots of secret passages here, and
be quick when walking on the green puddles, as they are acidic
and hurt you. There are lots of little treasures along the way
in the small puddles that are connected to the walls and in the
packs of mushrooms growing on the floor. Some decent potions,
but otherwise not that significant. Make your way west, through
a secret wall to (x 674 y 3152) and kill Grael there. Search
the mushrooms by the wall to get the Compass Rune.
Now go up to (x 4000 y 2680) and through this secret passage.
In the chest at (x 4281 y 2200) you will find the Long Sword +1
Flametongue and a Staff of Striking, two very good weapons. Go
around the passage to the North and West to (x 3785 y 1862).
There are a LOT of gems here. Click on the throne (x 3805
y 1851) to be teleported to a strange room with statues. Talk
to the North East statue, the answer is the Third option. You
can also talk to the other statues in this room if you wish
(they give you the clues to be able to answer the riddle of the
North East statue).
You will be back at the beginning of the level near Durlag's
Ghost. Go back up the same passage, but instead of going down
the secret passage, continue forward. You will find the Ghost
of Islanne near (x 3866 y 749), and turn her offer down for now
(unless you want to leave Durlag's Tower and have to come all
the way back). Open the door to the northwest first, kill
the Helmed Horrors. Search the room for the Bone Warstone.
Open the door to the South West, and go through it. You are
now in a large chamber. Avoid the Runes on the ground as they
will shoot spells at you. Continue down the hall into the
room with the machine (x 2109 y 749) and use it (it will take
the Bone Wardstone) to deactivate the traps on the previous
room.
Go back to the runed room. Be sure to pick up the treasures
(see Level 5 Underground Treasures in the Other Section). When
you are ready, click on the stretched leather (looks like a
bed) at (x 2500 y 700). Talk to the topmost statue, this time
it is the first answer. You can also talk to the other statues
in this room if you wish (again, they give you the clues to be
able to answer the riddle of the topmost statue).
Again you are back at the start of the level. Now go through
the door which is just to the South West of Durlag's Ghost. Go
down the passage to a large room filled with Spiders and
Ettercaps. From there go to the statue at (x 1860 y 830), and
click on it. He asks you several of these possible questions:
Who is Durlag's eldest son? Kiel
Who was Durlag's younger son? Fuernebol
What was Durlag's nickname? Trollkiller
What name was Bolher known? Thunderaxe
Who was the 'mother of the sons'? Islanne
You will be teleported to another room with some statues, and
again you talk to the top one. Tell him the third answer. You
can also talk to the other statues in this room if you wish
(they give you the clues to be able to answer the riddle of the
topmost statue).
And for the last time you are teleported back. Talk to
Durlag's Ghost, and tell him that you will fight the Evil. He
will then walk up the passageway, follow him. He opens up the
South-East passage by Islanne, go through that and open the
door. Here you meet up with Clair De'Laine who was with
Dalton's party, who are all now dead except for her, the
Demonknight having killed them all. She will tell you a way to
beat the Demon easily, having to do with a special mirror, if
you listen. There is a treasure chest here (trapped, as usual)
with a Cloak of the Shield in it. When you're ready, go down
the stairs.
Level 6 Underground (AR 0506): In the center of the room is the Demonknight.
Kill him to get 15000 exp, a Large Shield +1, and the
Soultaker. Here, you have two options: killing the
Demonknight the old fashioned way or attacking the mirror that
he's standing by. Attacking the mirror will cause the
summoning of some creatures that will attack everyone in the
room (including the Demon Knight). If the summoned creatures
kill him (which happens 100% of the time unless you kill them
first)), you will not get the 15000 exp and you will have to
then dispose of them (although they are easier to kill
individually than the Demonknight is for a low level party).
Don't go too crazy buffing your party before attacking, his
first tactic is to cast dispel magic on you.
Once beaten, talk to Dalton (x 1160 y 470) on the east side,
who will run off.
The easiest way out is to take Islanne up on her teleportation offer. Then
you want to return to Ulgoth's Beard to return the Soultaker to Hurgan and
talk with Dalton's mother (Therella) to get your reward (see Ulgoth Beard
Section above).

2c. Ulgoth's Beard Revisited (Or the Soultaker and The Aec'Letec) [CUBRSA]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treasures: War Hammer +1, +4 vs. Giants (Hurgan's Reward)
Plot:
- When you first re-arrive in Ulgoth's Beard you will be confronted by a Cult
Leader, who steals your Soultaker. Plus you will then be attacked by a
bunch of raving lunatic cultists Archers and Warriors who look
like Flaming Fist.
- Go to the Inn and talk to Hurgan about the Soultaker. He'll inform you
that the Cult worships a demon, and some other stuff about his granda and
Durgan. The gist of it is that you have to find the cultists since the
Soultaker contains the Demon.
- Wander up to (x 1275 y 655) and talk to the Cult Guard there. You cannot
bribe him so don't bother trying. Just hack your way through him. He
will, of course, summon more guards to help out. Go inside the Building
that he was guarding.
- In here you will find a Cult Wizard, two Cult Assasins, and a Cult Archer.
They'll talk to you, and I chose to fight the pants off of them. He also
tells you that you are too late, and that the Demon will already be free
by the time you get there. Go down the stairs (save first!).
Note: Aec'Letec attacks almost entirely with magic. Potions of Magic
Blocking and similar will greatly reduce his abilities to harm
you.
- Again a cultist will talk to you telling you that you are too late. Kill
the woman magic user first then the cultists (if you kill Aec'Letec while
any of them are still alive, he will regenerate completely from their form
which means that you would have to fight him again!). When he dies you get
16000 exp.
Note: I've heard that Aec'Letec is particularly weak against Cloudkills.
- Finally go back and talk to Hurgan and ask for your reward to get his War
Hammer +1, +4 vs. Giants.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Werewolves Island (AR 2000) [3TSWWI]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: To get to the Werewolves' Island you talk to Mendas back in Ulgoth's
Beard. He sends you to Baldur's Gate's Counting House Inn to retrieve
the Sea Charts first. See the Ulgoth's Beard section above for more
details.
Companions: none
Enemies: Brown Bears
Plot:
- Talk to Solianna (x 4440 y 3375) and pump her for information about the
island. She'll tell you that they arrived here the same way you did, boat
crashing, and that there are "beasties" about. Based on the name of the
Island, I'm sure you can guess what those might be. She also mentions that
they may still have a ship around somewhere. Which you may want, unless
you plan on staying here.
- Wander up into the village. Don't worry, you can't miss it. If you try to
talk to anyone, they'll tell you to talk to Kaishas, the Headwoman.
- You will find the Headwoman (Kaishas) a little to the north (x 3268
y 1250) in the first building in the village. Go inside and talk to her.
Mention Mendas as hired you, and she'll perk up a bit. Try to get
information on the shipwreck. She says that they are building a new ship,
but they need you to get rid of the Werewolves so that they can finish the
ship. You can't get any money for this, but you can get off the island.
- When you want to leave the village, go out the hole in the wall at
(x 2500 y 670), and from there north to the next area.
Subquests:
- Maralee's Son
Maralee's Son was kidnapped by the Werewolves. Agree to find him and bring
him back if he is alive. His name is Peladan. You'll find Peladan on the
Fourth Level of the Shipwreck. Return him to Maralee to get your reward:
4000 xp.
Maralee: Werewolves' Island Village (x 3623 y 1471)
Peladan: Shipwreck, Level Four (on Karoug)
- Durlyle's (or Delainy's) Cloak
Just west of Kaishas's hut you'll find Durlyle (or Delainy). Talk to
Durlyle and he'll tell you that during a storm, an important symbol of the
people's past was taken from them, a cloak. He asks you to retrieve it.
You will find the Holy Cloak in Dradeel's hut (which is covered in the
next section), but you can't really take it until you return Dradeel's
spell book to him. You don't get anything when you return it to Durlyle,
except some stories. (On a side note "Durlyle's" identity depends on your
main character's sex, if you are female then Durlyle is a male, if you are
a male then Durlyle becomes Delainy, a female)
Durlyle: Werewolves' Island Village (x 2525 y 1234)
Cloak: Werewolve's North (x 4200 y 1600)
Other:
- Minor Treasures
You can find some treasures in the large building at (x 2000 y 3300).
There are some healing potions, pearls, etc.
- Lahl
Lahl's Wife was killed by Werewolves, and he asks you to avenge him. By
which he means for you to kill every Werewolf that you can.
Lahl: Werewolves' Island Village (x 2638 y 1016)
- Farthing's Dolly
You'll meet a little girl who had her little dolly stolen by a werewolf.
Being a protector of the innocents and hero, you agree to bring her back
her dolly. You'll find her dolly on Palin (a Werewolf in disguise who'll
lead you into a trap) on the next map. Return her dolly for 1400 xp.
Farthing: Werewolves' Island Village (x 2127 y 2244)
Palin: Werewolves' Island North (AR 1500, x 1635 y 3240)
- Evalt, the Witch and Evan
Here you'll meet Evalt who'll explain to you that is brother, Evan, was
captured by a Witch and asks you to bring him back to the village. In
fact, the Witch is a Sirine Queen who wanted to mate with him but
discovered that he was not a man (you'll read why below) and killed him.
Now, we can't accept that can we? Find her, kill her then bring the body
of Evan back to Evalt for 900 xp.
Evalt: Werewolves' Island Village (x 2230 y 2683)
Sirine Queen: Werewolves' Island North (AR 1500, x 200 y 1216)
- Jorin
If you talk to the soldier just outside the gate, you can ask him for
tips on fighting the wolves.
Jorin: Werewolves' Island Village (x 2447 y 1941)
- Belladonna Flowers
You can pick yourself some of the Belladonna flowers at (x 1694 y 200) or
(x 963 y 213). Durlyle (or Delainy) will ask for them later (once you
bring back the cloak).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3a. Werewolves' Island North (AR 1500) [ATSWIN]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Wolfweres (can only be damaged by magic weapons), Dread Wolves, Cave
Bears, Dire Wolves, Black Bears, Brown Bears, Wolves
Plot:
- Go north and up to a building at (x 4185 y 1607), go inside and talk to the
Mage Dradeel inside. He was part of the original party with Balduran, and
witnessed the birth of the monsters. He has a lot to say. Agree to help
him. For your help, he will give you the Wolfsbane Amulet, and tell you to
fetch his Spellbook from the shipwreck.
- The entrance to the Shipwreck is at (x 3652 y 1057)
Treasures: Wolfsbane Amulet (Dradeel)
Staff Mace (Dradeel's Treasures)
Subquests:
- Palin
You will encounter a man named Palin in the southern part of this area. He
tells you that a small group of people are being attacked by monsters to
the east. Go with him, and you will be ambushed by Wolfweres. Turns out
Palin is one of them. He is also carrying Farthing's dolly (see Other
Section in Werewolves Island above).
Palin: Werewolves' Island North (x 1635 y 3240)
- Kryla and Jondal
A woman named Kryla will approach you near the center of the area, and ask
for your help in getting vengeance for the death of her son Jondal. And,
you guessed it, she's a wolfwere too.
Kryla: Werewolves' Island North (x 3630 y 2050)
Other:
- Meym
Another Wolfwere (in human disguise) can be found here.
Meym: Werewolves' Island North (x 767 y 2361).
- Dradeel's Treasures
Once Dradeel has his spellbook and has teleported away, you can loot his
little room. You can get: Holy Cloak, Staff Mace, 210gp, Plant, and
Dradeel's Cook Book.
- Sirine Queen and 4 Sirines
The Sirine Queen can be found here (see Other Section in Werewolves Island
above). She'll also summon 4 Sirines near the water to help her out (if
you decide to fight her). I suggest you lure her inland so you can fight
her alone, then go pick her summoned friends afterward (near the water).
Sirine Queen: Werewolves' Island North (x 200 y 1216).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3b. Shipwreck (AR 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504) [BSHPWR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Here, it's safe to assume that every chest, barrels and other
searchables are trapped (also some floor traps) so use your Thief
wisely. Also, I suggest that you clean out the first level of the ship
on enemies, search it, cast any appropriate magic to help your party in
a dangerous battle then head directly to the fourth level. You can
easily get there without sustaining any damage since all the stairs are
close together. Once the Fourth level has been sanitized, go down and
do the same for each level. (if you're playing in Tutu or BGT, don't do
this, the enemies will all follow you up)
Companions: none
Enemies: Dire Wolves, Dread Wolves, Wargs, Vampiric Wolves, Wolfweres,
Treasures: Werebane, Silver Dagger +1 (Level 2 Treasures)
Cloak of Protection +1 (Head Wolfwere)
Shield Amulet (Head Wolfwere)
Sword of Balduran (Balduran's Office)
Plot:
- You will be in the bottom of the ship. There will be a lot of monsters
down here. Go up the ladder.
- More monsters here, as well as some treasures (see Level 2 Treasures
below). Go up the next ladder.
- There's one trapped box here with some minor treasures in it. Go up the
ladder.
- On this level is the Head Wolfwere. Talk to him and then later kill him.
You also have to fight off a lot of monsters here. Greater Wolfweres
require a +3 weapon or better to hit. You can pick up Dradeel's Spellbook
at (x 450 y 270), but be careful of traps. Check the body of the Head
Wolfwere for a Cloak of Protection +1, a Shield Amulet and also search the
body of Karoug to find Peladan (see Other Section in Werewolves Island
above).
- Go into Balduran's Office, be careful of the traps, and take the three
things in his desk: Sword of Balduran, Log Book of Balduran, and the
Butterknife of Balduran (AR 1504, x 581 y 201). You can find Dradeel's
Spellbook at (AR 1504, x 436 y 266).
- Return to Dradeel and give him the spell book and he teleports away. You
get 5000 exp.
Subquests:
- Maralee's Son
You will find Peladan on the body of Karoug (see Other Section in
Werewolves Island above).

3c. Return to the Village [CTSRTT]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Be advise that once everyone in the town have transformed back to
werewolves, they will respawn quite quickly so finish your exploration
of the village and subquests before speaking to Kaishas Gan (unless you
like to kill monsters that can only be damaged by magic weapons).
Enemies: Werewolves
Plot:
- Be sure to talk with Durlyle, and Maralee and all others to resolve the
appropriate subquests (do not talk to Kaishas Gan until all the wanted
subquests are concluded). Once you give the Cloak to Durlyle, speak to him
again and he will ask you to fetch him some Flowers (see the Other in
section 3 above on where to find some), and then he likes you.
- Go talk to Kaishas again, and she'll tell you all about the village and its
people, the truth this time. Turns out that they are Lycanthropes as well,
but the reverse of the Wolfweres, they are Werewolves (the difference is
that Wolfweres start out as wolves and turn human, while Werewolves start
as human and turn into wolves). I suggest you don't take her up on her
offer to "belong", she will then steal your Sea Charts, and her companion
will turn into a Werewolf and attack you as she sneaks out.
- Go back outside and EVERYONE in the town is now a Werewolf!
- Go to (x 2700 y 1350) to find Durlyle who offers to get you out of the
village through some secret underground passages. Follow him to the hut at
(x 1650 y 1520) where Dradeel will give you more information. Turns out
that these people are the ones that killed the crew in the first place. He
also mentions that there are "Dark Ones" on the ship that you must find.
Talk to Durlyle again.
- Now go into the Hut, and down into the secret passage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3d. Underground Passage (AR 2012) [DTSNDR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Werewolves, Loup Garou (these can only be hit by VERY magical weapons,
such as the Long Sword +1: Flametongue, and Balduran's Sword)
Plot:
- The only thing to do here is to head East to the exit (x 3025 y 360). And</pre><pre id="faqspan-9">
you can pick up some potions if you want. And fight Werewolves.
- You exit onto a hidden beach on the North End of the Island, walk over to
the ship and talk to Kaishas. In any event she'll turn into a Loup Garou,
a slightly tougher Werewolf. Kill her and take your charts back. Click on
the sail to return to the Mainland.
Other:
- Potions
Potion of Storm Giant Strength, 2 Healing Potions -- (x 1336 y 808)
Potion of Cold Resistance -- (x 1817 y 594)
Potion of Defense -- (x 2555 y 555)
Oil of Speed -- (x 2362 y 243)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3e. Ulgoth's Beard Finale [ELGBFL]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treasures: Chainmail +3 (Baresh)
Plot:
- Well we made it back in one piece. You will be met on the docks by Baresh,
who demands to know what has happened. Tell him what you will. Go to
Mendas (who we now know is Chief Selaad Gan). He demands answers, you may
as well tell him the truth, and be prepared for a fight. Baresh and him
both become Loup Garou and attack you. Search Baresh's old body for a
Chainmail +3. Also search his house to find 980gp.
Note: Once all the Tales of the Sword Coast quests are done, you get a little
message (similar to the End of Chapter messages) telling you that you are
done with it.

Monster Fighting Strategies:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
"Dryad" Fighting:
A dryad (or any other female monster type, such as the Siren) has some
nasty magical attacks, namely Charm Person, which if used on the right
person in your party, screws you over. Nothing worse than having to fight
your own best fighter. So if you lose too many people to her, then go back
to your last save, then send only your best fighter to where the dryad is.
If your fighter is charmed, no big deal (enemies won't attack charmed party
members, so you won't get killed). Once she is out of the worst magical
attacks, send in the cavalry. If one of your people is Dire Charmed
anyway, cast a quick Hold Person on them to keep them from fighting you.
One other thing to try is to send a good archer (Bracers of Archery always
help) to kill her quickly.
Minsc's "Berserk" attack makes him fairly immune to Dire Charm. (He still
gets charmed, but will attack the Sirine/Dryad anyway)
Or if your people do get charmed, you can just cast Dire Charm on them
again to reverse it. (thanks to D Sanders for that)
"Basilisk" Fighting:
Basilisks are nasty creatures, they turn you to stone. If they turn your
main character to stone, that is considered Death, and therefore the end of
your game. So if you have a Protection from Petrification spell/scroll you
may want to use that. The spell is a first level mage spell, and you can
buy it at High Hedge. Also if you get Korax (Area E of Temple) to join you
(temporarily), he is immune to Petrification. (although the Basilisks could
still kill him, and he will turn against you eventually!)
Doomsayer Fighting
So there's only one Doomsayer (Area S of Lighthouse), but he's a tough one.
Cast lots of magic missiles at him since they always hit and do a bit of
damage. Keep your best fighters between him and your party, and try
hitting him with magic arrows as well. If one of your people gets injured
by about 3/4 of their total HP, pull them back. Don't try to tackle him
before level 6 or so.

B. Miscellaneous Information [ABMSCI]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baldur's Gate follows most every AD&D rule in the Player's Handbook. That
doesn't mean that they are all documented in the manual, however. And this
section is a good a place as any to stick all the missing information from the
Rules. (all information here is taken directly from the AD&D Player's Handbook,
which may not entirely reflect how the rules work in Baldur's Gate!)
___________________________________
Mega Constitution and Regeneration:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If your Constitution gets above 19 you get an automatic regeneration. Here's
a little table on it:
Constitution: Regeneration Rate:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
20 1 per 6 rounds
21 1 / 5
22 1 / 4
23 1 / 3
24 1 / 2
25 1 / 1
A round is about 6 seconds.

C. The Gods of the Realm [ACTGOR]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried to compile a list of every god mentioned in the game. Naturally, I
probably missed one or two, so if I did, please email me about it. There is
some neat information on the gods and their troubles on page 67 of the Baldur's
Gate Manual. And lots of information comes from Orlandu. Others come from
edwardalacey.
Auril -- mentioned by Branwen, Goddess of Winter, mentioned by Branwen and
the boots of cold are hers as well. Auril believes that everything
should be turned to ice.
Bane, Bhall, and Myrkul -- the "dead three" gods, but are currently not in
"power" (it's a long story)
Baravar -- worshipped by Quayle
Clangeddin -- a god mentioned by Yeslick.
Cyric -- evil god worshipped by Bassilus to raise the dead, also Mulahey has
a Cyric Holy Symbol on him. Makes Cyric seem a little suspicious,
doesn't it? Cyric took the power from the "dead three" and now
does everything they did, thus making him the new god of murder.
Deneir -- one of gods who protects Tethtoril (see his decription in the manual)
Garl Glittergold -- worshipped in the Temple of Wisdom at the Friendly Arm Inn
Gond -- god of artifice and invention. The Hall of Wonders in Baldur's
Gate is run by Gondish priests.
Helm -- a good god, worshipped by Ajantis. There's a Helm temple in
Nashkel. He is the God of Guardians, and he guards the Outer
Realms.
Ilmater -- God of Suffering who enchanted the Large Shield +4 vs. Missiles. I
may not have spelt his name correctly.
Jergal -- former god of the dead, gave his power to Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul
(History of the Dead Three), and now is the Scribe of the Dead
Kozah -- ancient god of various chaotic happenings (like earthquakes), there
is an ancient temple being unearthed of his far to the SW of
Beregost, but beware the curse!
Lord Ao -- the Overpower. Not a god as per se, since he is infinitely more
powerful than they are (he can destroy them at will)
Lathander -- Worshipped in the Song of the Morning temple
Lloth -- Spider Goddess of the Drow, dislikes Drizzt and Viconia. There is
another Drow god mentioned in one of the "History of the Drow"
books, Ghaunadaur.
Malar -- Mentioned by Osmadi, also known as the Beastlord. He is an evil
god that doesn't much like the Druid faiths.
Mystra -- goddess of magic
Oak Father -- I think this is a God of Nature, worshipped by Faldorn.
Oghma -- there is a temple to Oghma is Candlekeep as he is the God of
Knowledge
Selune -- a Goddess mentioned by Dradeel
Shar -- Goddess of the Night, worshipped by the renegade drow Viconia
Sune -- good god, the Holy Ring is a Sune artifact, she is the Goddess of
Love and Beauty.
Talos -- made the Boots of Grounding, and is possibly a God of Storms
Tempus -- Branwen is a cleric of this Neutral God, the God of Battles
Tymora -- She's the Goddess of Luck (good luck that is, Besheba is the
Goddess of Bad Luck)
Umberlee -- goddess of the Sea, aka the "Bitch Queen", you run into her
priestess at the Baldur's Gate Bridge. (btw, Umberlee is of an Evil
alignment)
Valkur -- another god mentioned by Branwen, he is the god of sailors

D. Guide to Naming Characters [DGDTNC]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have heard that some people have trouble coming up with creative names for
their characters. So here is a little guide to coming up with interesting
names that seem to fit into the game (i.e. names that aren't "brad" or "mike"
or something).
Method 1:
Take an exisiting last name, and make it a first name.
Ex: Corbin, Martens, Miller.
Obviously this doesn't work with all last names, and it also tends to skew
mostly male.
Method 2:
You can also make interesting names by taking an existing name, such as Kate,
and flipping some letters around to make a new name, Kaet.
Method 3:
Somewhat similar to method 2, this one merely involves adding useless vowels.
Try adding an 'a' before an 'e' or an 'i' after an 'e'. Take the name
Patrick for example. It will become Paetrick.
Method 4:
Another fun thing to try is to simply add a new "flourish" to an existing
name. For example we start with "Nate" and add the "flourish" "ylia" to make
the new name "Natylia".
Method 5:
Start with another word, say the number "Seven". Replace the vowels with new
vowels to make "Sivan". Now if you want to make it feminine add an "y" (or
something similar) to the end to make "Sivany". Or try this, start with the
word "talent". Replace the first 't' with a "th" and then replace the 'e'
with an 'a'. You now have "Thalant", which is a good name, but needs a
little flourish of "yr" to finish it "Thalantyr".
Method 6: (from MartectX)
I found another strategy of making names "fitting the game": Just take an
existing name backwards! Some examples: Martin - Nitram, Florian - Nairolf,
Monika - Akinom, Andrea - Aerdna.
Here's a list of names that I have used in various RPG games. This list will
be a little small for now, but as I get more of them, I'll add them. If you
have any name that you want to send in, please feel free!
(

Female: Male:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯
Kaet Salamoss Telen
Sivany Syllas
Jiany Poetayn
Saenra Mytahl
Kystra Ralasannvyr
Lydra Ylv Tor
Tyllaenii Ex'ald Moor
Bealla Forthyss Aallax Morkallai
Cyrra Lyth Cyr Daan
Sho'erna Moerth Kintos the Dim (my current favorite)
Mistriana Corvuus
Karyana Khaar the Bloody
Ceqeen'ah
The following names are from Bane:
Lyria Taaryn (Taryn)
Kestyn Yulosa
Maya Astyk
Galian Bane
The following names, and strategy, were sent to me by Preston Lloid:
Female: Male:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯
Jephinia Justice Edcam Sielfir
Misha Kintyre Purl Sielfir
Latista Dymnir Paxus Silatis
Kyndria Valmund Bastius Mnotarior
Shaloa Fighro Rhymnir Kaleef
Syff Kintous Kelt Incurrigate
Geila Mist Solas Imnikurr
Tarrento Gymnica
I also found that nearly all the months make fine female first names (e.g.
October, November etc.). Furthermore I personally think that there's nothing
wrong with giving your character a first name and some kind of call name
instead of an actual surname (or family name). For instance, if you've made
a female priest with the allignment "lawful good" you might call her "Misha
the Divine", instead of Misha Kintyre. Or if you create an evil male mage,
you could call him "Tarrento the Dreadful".

E. Character Sounds [ECHRCT]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you will find a typed out version of a great many sounds in the game.
Check out the sndlist.txt file in the Sounds directory if you want to change
one of the PC Sounds. Any of the NPC sounds that has a ????????? in it means
that I listened to the sounds by using the biffstripper utility, but I'm not
quite sure where they fit into the context of the game.
The "Repeated Selected" sounds are accessed when you click on a character about
9 times in a row.
This comes from Patrick:
I thought I'd help fill in some of the blanks regarding NPC quotes, and
how they relate to one another, which you might want to include in any
possible updates of your astounding FAQ.
First off, there are NPCs who will try to kill each other eventually, as I
found out when I first played and took Xzar/Montaron and Khalid/Jaheira into
the Nashkel mines, and some of their quotes are reserved for such an
occasion. At a seemingly random point, the text window popped up and the
dialogue followed:
Jaheira: "Do you claim to fight evil... (etc.)"
Xzar: "Why must you goad us..."
Jaheira: "I know nothing of gold..."
Xzar: "I begin to see your true nature..."
Likewise, Khalid and Montaron have some lines which suggest a similar
exchange (sound files 30 and 31 for each). At this point, Montaron and Xzar
(the Zhentarim) and Khalid and Jaheira (the Harpers), squared off and began
fighting, ignoring my commands and leaving my character with nothing to do
but pick a side and join in. (This is indeed at least partly random... not
caring for the deaths of two NPCs, I loaded a previous savegame, finished the
mines, then disbanded the Zhentish pair without incident.)
Odds are that when a character makes a direct statement to another, there is
a reply (Some of Montaron's jibes are in response to Xzar's babblings, and
Khalid and Jaheira share some tender moments). I haven't gotten far in the
game yet, but here are some possible relationships which suggest themselves:
Eldoth and Alora: Alora always tries to cheer up Eldoth, and he in turn
actually finds himself softening up when she's around.
Xan and Ajantis: As you've noticed, Xan rejects Ajantis' strict views,
and Ajantis does not respond kindly to his paradigms
being challenged.
Eldoth just seems to piss off everybody...
Also, if it helps straighten things out, I noticed (using the playsound
ingame cheat) that the number of the file for each character is connected
with its function in the game, as follows:
1 - Introduction
In battle:
2 - Battlecry
3 - Morale Break
Comments on party's reputation and actions:
4 - Happy
5 - Unhappy
6 - Angry
7 - Breaking Point
Comments on personal status:
8 - Made Leader
9 - Tired
10 - Bored
11 - Wounded
Comments on environment:
12 - Forest
13 - City
14 - Dungeon
15 - Daytime
16 - Nighttime
Comments toward player:
17-19 - Selected
20-22 - Commanded
23-26 - Annoyed
Comments toward NPCs:
27-37 - Various Banterings
Comments on death:
38 - Generic Death
39 - Specific Death
Of course, Imoen throws this whole scheme off track, but it seems like
everybody else sticks by it. (again, this was from Patrick)

Exp Cap Removers:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Godlike (144kb download, version 1.1)
This really cool utility removes the experience cap from any version of
Baldur's Gate, including the Tales of the Sword Coast. If you don't
know, there is a limit to how much experience you can get in the regular
game, and this removes that limit. Really cool.
Note: If you install an Official Patch after using Godlike, the cap will
be back in place, and may muck up the game, so you will need to
check for a new version of Godlike, and run it again.

Item Copying:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You don't actually have to be playing multiplayer for this to work, it just
really helps. You also don't have to be actually playing with anyone else to
be playing as multiplayer. One thing to do when you find any item of value
would be to:
1. Save the game.
2. Export the Character with the item(s) that you wish to copy. (only works
with characters that you have created yourself, such as the main
character)
3. Give all of that character's items away, and then click the bottom
button (Multiplayer Options), then click the Modify Characters button
(only works if there are no enemies around, and you aren't in the middle
of casting a spell), and then click on the Character Name to delete the
character.
4. Now immediately Import the character back, and you now have 2 of
everything that person had.
Similarly if you are doing this in a single player, you:
1. Export the Character.
2. Start a new game.
3. At the Character Creation Screen press "Import" and the select your
character.
It is really helpful that when you Export your Character to name him/her
something specific, not just "Character1" or something.
This is really useful for the ultra-rare items like the Full Plate +1. This
also works well if you want to start over, simply export your character,
start a new game, and import them there!

MISC: All of these rings function as
___ if the spell had been cast
MAGE01 - Ring of Invisibility | which means magic resistance
MAGE02 - Ring of Barkskin | can stop the effects. Ignore
MAGE03 - Ring of Mirror Image |_the fact that the titles of
MAGE04 - Pseudo Ring of Blur | these items may be missing
MAGE05 - Pseudo Ring of Free Action | from the descriptions and none
MAGE06 - Ring of Haste ___| of them have names as such -
they just look like scrolls.
THEY DO WORK! You need to be careful though as the effects do
not carry over from saved games like the proper rings do. This
means when you load a game you need to take the ring off and put
it back on again for the effect to work. But some of them are
worth it.
Exceptions: The Pseudo rings do not function i.e. no bonuses at
all that I can detect. But the ring of blur does change the
sprite of your character like the spell does (which I like).
The other rings work fine. (from Kelvin Groves)

Baldur's Gate Readme and Manual Addenda Release Version 1.1.4315 (from Duncan
Clay)

2c. Corrections to the Manual and Quick Reference Card
Manual Corrections
p.26 Dual Classing
The only classes than cannot dual class are the Paladin, Ranger, and
Bard, though others may have restrictions on which classes they can
switch to. The character must also have 15 in all the prime
requisites of his first class, and 17 in those of the second class.
The Ranger CAN dual class to a Cleric/Ranger.
TABLES
Table 7: Ranged Weapons
Weapon |1/2|ROF|Spd|Hit|Dam| Useable By
---------------|---|---|---|---|---|------------
Light Crossbow | 2 | 1 | 7 | - | - | F,R,P,B,T
Thieves CAN use Light Crossbows, but in the manual and in the game it
incorrectly states that they cannot. This makes the "Light Crossbow of
Speed" a good choice for your thief.

If you answer as follows when talking to Tremain Belde'ar the game crashes
(House in BG West AR0617) (from Duncan Clay)
(2) I Would know what payment I can expect. I'll not take this task
with out knowing what it is worth.
(1) Magic or no. I should require more than a meager amount of gold.
Certainly if many adventurers give so much, there be ample coin in
church holdings? Make that mine and we have a deal.
________________________________
Inconsistencies and/or Mistakes:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After clearing the Cloakwood Mines, talk to Officer Vai and she will say:
"You efforts have not..." A clear grammatical mistake.
When asking Eldoth to rejoin the party he replies with "I though as
much..." when he meant to say "I thought as much".
Try this one on for size: After I had Viconia get kissed by Shoal the
Nereid, she gets killed, but then later revived. Now, Viconia didn't
really have a chance to kill anything after this, and when I checked her
information it said that her most powerful vanquished foe was "Viconia".
I had the Subtitles turned on, and when Kivan made his little Tired sound
("It is time for us to rest") the text read "I will lead for as long as I
am needed."
While in Durlag's Tower while doing the Nymph subquest, every time I went
up to the Fourth Level, it had reset. In other words, each time it was
like I had never been there! And after freeing Kirinhale, she was still
there asking for a release! And here's the best part, if I talked to her
twice, she gets freed again, and I get the 4000 experience AGAIN! Not only
that, but Riggilo is brought back to life as well. This is very very
strange! I am not sure why this happened, or if it will happen on anyone
else's computer.
_________
Oddities:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You can kill cows and other animals, and not only will it not affect your
reputation, but the local townspeople don't even seem to care that you are
slaughtering their animals!
You can even kill your own party members, without anyone caring. Once I
had Minsc kill Dynaheir, and he still mourned her death later!
After Melicamp is restored from being a chicken, he will still make Chicken
noises randomly!
Is it just me, or do Xvarts look like larger versions of Smurfs?
Here's a fun one. While in the Helm and Cloak Inn, I got caught stealing,
and the guard appeared. I ignored them so I wouldn't lose anymore than 1
reputation. Well there is also a band of adventurers there called the
Gorpel Hind. The Gorpel Hind people started killing the Flaming Fist for
me at no loss to my own reputation! Sweet!
I had Coran in my party, and since he is a Fighter/Thief I kept two sets of
armor for him, one for AC and the other for Thieving (a Plate Mail +1 and
Shadow Armor respectively) and whenever I would switch from the plate to
the shadow, he would no longer walk, he would "float" (it looked like he
was standing still, and just flying). Odd. This may also have been
because he was wearing the Girdle of Femininity at the time.
I was wandering around with an Evil party, and the reputation wasn't very
good (it was 4). Well I went into Nashkel, and naturally, the Amnish
soldiers there attacked me. This irritated me, so I went into the temple,
and bought myself a better reputation (18). But now, everytime I go
through Nashkel, I get attacked by these same soldiers, and if I attack
them, I lose reputation. Haven't they heard that I'm good now?
I've gotten an extra party member not mentioned in FAQ (i think he's
not) twice. When you take a pair of people (like Xzar and Montaron) kill
the other one away. Leave the other one off normally. I don't know if it
can be done instantly or only later, but when you take the character
back to your party, he/she will have a new partner with him/her to
replace the dead one! I cant remember the name, but he was a human
warrior with all blue clothes, STR 9 and other stats 6, and no face at
all, only a ? on the place of the picture. I've done it with
Khalid/Jaheira and Xzar/Montaron, if I remember correctly, but I did it
at least once, im sure of that. It's pretty useless but at least its
fun, I'd say. I tried that today, but I couldn't make it work right now.
But believe me, I have done it. (from Juha Alm)
Got a piece of Baldurs Gate info that you may find interesting. It is in
regard to the Character Bub Snikt. If you don't know this allready I
believe this character is a link to Marvel Comic's X-Men. Wolverine (i'm
sure you know of him)has a couple of 'trademarks'. One is calling people
'Bub' and the other is the sound his claws make when he pops them out,
which is 'SNIKT'. Well if you didn't know this you do now. :o)
(from LoGaN©)

Comedy:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In the Red Sheaf Inn in Beregost you can talk to Lachluger, who quotes a
Monty Python sketch, "Oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and
I work all day".
Speaking of Monty Python, if Garrick gets hurt enough and has to run away
he will sing "Brave Brave Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick ran away!" straight from
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
After having killed Marl, if you click on his friend Dunkin he will say
"Hey don't click me! I don't want any trouble!"
When Thalantyr is restoring Melicamp from being a chicken he casts the
dread spell "Antichickenator".
Some of the graves in the Nashkel cemetery are quite amusing to read.
Beware, don't read a certain grave too many times or its occupant may kill
you! (see the Nashkel section for more information) Kinda reminds me of
the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland.
In the Nashkel Carnival, in one of the tents, you can find a fat commoner
who claims that he is "Big Boned". Taken straight from South Park.
Just South of Nashkel you will find a Kobold named Larry, and his two
brothers a Tasloi named Darryl, and an Xvart named Darryl. This was a joke
from the Bob Newhart Show.
Two of Yeslick's more uncommon speeches are fairly amusing. In one he
says: "You owe 16 tons, what do you get?" and in another he whistles the
same theme that the Dwarves do in Snow White and the 7 Dwarves.
Mer. Pike sent me this:
I'd like to pass along a useless bit of information that you may or may
not know about one of Yeslick's lines you mentioned, "You owe 16 tons,
what do you get?" This line is part of a song by Tennessee Ernie Ford
which is called, shockingly enough, Sixteen Tons. It goes something
like this:
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up me shovel and walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of #9 coal
The straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
You get one day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Well, some people say a man is made out of mud
I say a poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, and skin and bone
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
You get one day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Minsc says a lot of funny things, but one of them is from MST3K:
"I'm Huge!" (from Cave Dwellers, MST3K)
One of Quayle's lines is: "I am so Smart! S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T" which
is taken directly from the Simpsons, where Homer goes back to college.
One of Xzar's lines is: "I ate his liver with a nice Chianti and some fava
beans." Which is a line from Silence of the Lambs, said by Hannibal
Lechter.
A Shar-Teel line goes like this "I don't have time to bleed." Which is
quoted from the Predator as said by Jesse Ventura (yes THAT Jesse
Ventura!).
Here's a couple lines from Tiax which struck me as funny: "The day comes
when TIAX will point and click!" and "Tiax is as Tiax does." a parody on
Forrest Gump's "Stupid is as Stupid does." Does that make Tiax stupid?
Among other things...
If you click on Khalid a few times he'll stutter out "Th-th-that's all
folks", the classic Porky Pig line from Looney Tunes.
Some of Garrick's lines are amusing. Here's Garricks take on Mr. Rogers:
"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." (sung) And he also does a mean
Monty Python routine: "Brave brave Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick led the way.
Brave brave Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick ran away."
And how about Alora's Ren and Stimpy impersonation: "Happy Happy! Joy Joy!"
Dennis Matheson has some more:
Alora - Repeated Selected 2: "C'mon people now, smile
on your brother. Everybody get together, try to love
one another right now." - This is the chorus for the
song "Get Together" by the Youngbloods; a '60s rock
group.
Also, it appears that Alora's line "I've heard if you
go too long without smiling, your face will crack!" is
directed at Dynaheir. At least, Dynaheir responds to
it with her line "I pray thee did not kiss thy mother
with that mouth."
Coran - Action Acknowledgement 1: "Luck be a Lady." -
Title of a song by Frank Sinatra.
Dynaheir - Repeated Selected 2: "These boots were made
for walking, and that's just what they'll do." - From
the song "These Boots are Made for Walking" by Nancy
Sinatra.
(Hmmm... Is there a Sinatra fan at Black Isle?)
Khalid - Repeated Selected 3: "Ch-ch-ch *hehe*
ch-ch-chia!" - From the Chia Pet commercials. (Why?)
Montaron - Repeated Selected 1: "I warrant your
attention? Oh frabgerous day,kaloo kaley!" - From the
poem Jabberwocky (the "Oh frabgerous day..." part)
Xzar - Battle Cry: "I have become death! Destroyer of
Worlds!" - Robert Oppenheimer allegedly said this
after the explosion of the first atomic bomb at
Trinity. Originally from the Hindu text "Bhagavad
Gita".

J. The Dark Side of the Sword Coast [JMMDSS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, think that you've done everything that you can possibly do in Baldur's
Gate and its Expansion, Tales of the Sword Coast? Well how about adding a
few new challenges via TeamBG's wonderful little mod pack, called the
"Dark Side of the Sword Coast"!
You can find the DSotSC here:
http://darksideoftheswordcoast.net/
Note: The Dark Side of the Sword Coast is NOT in any way shape or form
supported by BioWare, Black Isle, or Interplay, and as such, if you
encounter problems with the DSotSC, you should NOT email them! For
all support of DSotSC, check out the link above.
Here is a list of changes/additions that come with the DSotSC mod: (this list
is taken directly from the DSotSC website)
* This is an expansion aimed at a 9-12th level party. So I advise that you
take the party thru all of TotSC First! But you have to do that after
you have installed this expansion. Otherwise the new areas will not be
available. Of course you can always import your party in.
* 4 major quests well at the level of Durlag's Tower or Werewolf Island.
* More powerful monsters than anything yet experienced.
* Over 30 new areas.
* 100 new spells.
* Over 70 new critters.
* 80 new weapons, armor and other items.
* 8 New NPCs to join your group and some surprises!
* Experience cap raised to 20 million.
* Level 40 rules pack is included (instead of the level 20 rules that come
with BG/TotSC).
* Included is the program "BG/TotSC Backup Tool" to allow the backup and
restoring of your original BG/TotSC files (like "dialog.tlk", "Override"
folder and "Characters" folder). You MUST use this tool prior to
installing DSotSC!!!
* All of this is in a FREE download about 14 MB in size!!!
* We will also put up a seperate download containing a save game similar to
the one included with TotSC that will allow you to start your game at the
start of the most intense phase of the add-on (but if you do this, you
will miss some of the fun).
Tip: Most of the cool stuff in DSotSC doesn't appear in the game until
Chapter 5. Once you get to Chapter 5, head over to the Friendly Arm
Inn to find a new NPC... and a new quest...
Again, the DSotSC is an UNofficial add-on to the game, and is not supported
by Bioware, Black Isle, or Interplay.
