PREFACE:
This document is a complete Walkthrough of Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth
Drannor. It uses in-game landmarks and directional instructions to navigate
through every step of the game sequentially, without the use of outside maps.
Considering how large it is, you may want to use your browser to find something
specific in this Walkthrough. I list every location, quest, enemy, and item you
will encounter so that if you wanted to find a specific item or read details on
how I defeated an enemy, or find out how to solve a Quest or reach a certain
location, you could use the Find command on your browser to search the document
for what you are looking for. Using Explorer as an example, select "Edit", then
"Find (on this page)...", then enter what you are looking for. AOL has a "Find
in Top Window" command in its "Edit" section that works the same way.

I) INTRODUCTION:
In this game you are the guiding force behind a band of adventurers who quest
to defeat Kya Mordrayn, an evil Sorceress with a really big hand, who has
nurtured a sinister Pool of Radiance beneath a castle in the ruins of the
ancient city Myth Drannor. It would be nice if, in real life, we had treasures
with special abilities like the ones found in Ruins of Myth Drannor. To play
this game I would need my ring of excitement (+10 protection against boredom);
and my shield of variation (+15 protection from repetitive stress disorder);
and my wand of no regret (so I could forget about the money I spent on this
game).
There are a few things to remember while you play this game:
1) Even slugs will have higher initiative rolls than you; prepare to stand
around for hours being beaten to death by no-legged Zombies while snails crawl
all over face and your adventurer's old age pension checks expire because they
can't get out of battle and go to the bank to cash them.
2) You were sent on this quest by your dwarven patron Thorbeard Barrelsmasher,
infamous hater of poorly made wooden handicrafts. His only contractual
stipulation is that you spend 3/4 of your waking hours hunting down and
destroying anything made of wood that does not meet his exacting standards.
3) Most battles in RoMD are two people standing close to each other swinging
their weapons wildly for hours on end until one accidentally manages to hit the
other.
If I tried to write a play log recording the flow of a typical battle in Ruins
of Myth Drannor it would look like this:
Party Member 1 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 2 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 3 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 4 attacks Orc- Miss!
Orc attacks Party Member 1- Hit! -10HP!
Party Member 1 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 2 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 3 heals Party Member 1, +10HP!
Party Member 4 attacks Orc- Miss!
Orc attacks Party Member 1- Hit! -10HP
Repeat this for about half an hour then try something new:
Party Member 1 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 2 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 3 attacks Orc- Miss!
Party Member 4 casts Magic Missile at Orc- Immune!
User Exits to Windows...
4) In the days before the fall of Myth Drannor the home armies were diverted
from battle and given masonry tools to seal up half the doors in city. The plan
was to annoy the invaders by having them walk endlessly around the city looking
for a usable door. It seems that the one indispensable quest item your
adventurers forgot to bring with them was a battering ram.
5) Your adventurers can never do anything without a mob of supporters watching
them, they can't even go to the bathroom without a crowd cheering them on. If
ever a single party member gets more than five feet away from the party that
member will become paralyzed with indecision, unable to open doors or chests,
unable to examine objects or even walk any further without the return of the
comforting presence of their codependent brethren. This means they will always
be blocking a path, blocking a door, blocking a chest, getting stuck around
corners, getting stuck behind pillars, getting stuck amidst one another,
getting stuck during battle and finally they will end up blowing each other to
bits with magic spells just to get a little breathing space.
6) Your adventurers are perhaps the greatest mass murderers in history, nothing
will be left alive in Myth Drannor once they are finished with it. So terrified
are the people of New Phlan that they won’t even allow your characters to come
home at the end of the game; instead they leave them to wander Myth Drannor in
perpetuity.

I am just kidding, this is all in good fun. I really did like the game,
although there were times I wanted to throw the computer out the window. The
story is very engaging, and full of diverse and interesting characters. I
imagine it is a lot like mining for gold, you must dig through the dirt for
what seems like an eternity, but when you find what you are looking for, you
really enjoy the payoff.

Ruins of Myth Drannor was released by UbiSoft in September 2001.

*******************************************************************************
II) WALKTHROUGH NOTES:

I structured this FAQ based off of unanswered questions I read on websites
where Ruins of Myth Drannor was being discussed. It seemed to me that most of
these questions fell into a few basic categories: wanting to know how to
receive or complete a Quest, wanting to know where to find a Key or Word,
wanting to know how to defeat a specific enemy or boss, wanting to know where
to find a specific item, and wanting to know where to go next or in what order
to explore the dungeons.

LAYOUT:	
Since it is a walkthrough, this document will tell you how to beat RoMD from
start to finish, but it has been designed in response to the needs of those
whose questions went unanswered. The walkthrough is divided into 137 "Events",
a sequence of actions that complete a predetermined goal such as finding an
item, defeating a boss or clearing a certain area in a dungeon. Together, all
the Events comprise the Solution to RoMD. Each Event is divided into several
topics:
*Quest Notes: If an Event is essential to the completion of a specific Quest
there will be Quest Notes listed in that Event. If all you are looking for is
how to get through a Quest related to that Event, just read this section.
*Curiosity Notes: Some Events contain items of interest which are not
Quest-related or essential to completing the game, but can be of benefit to
your party. I have singled these out to draw attention to them.
*Enemies: A listing of all the hostile targets to be defeated during the Event.
*Notes: The walkthrough that explains exactly how to achieve the goal of the
Event. Here you will find directions for navigating the dungeons, combat
instructions, where to search for treasure and so on. This is the most detailed
section of the Event and will contain many spoilers.
*Acquire: A listing of every item you can find during an event, and what
properties that item has. I separated this from the Notes section to keep from
interrupting the flow of navigation through the Event.
*Go: This topic contains the navigational instructions that will guide your
characters through the transition to the next Event. I have singled them out to
emphasize what must be done before you start the next Event.

REFERENCE:
At the end of this Walkthrough is Reference section that can be used to quickly
find information about certain topics without having to search the entire
Walkthrough. The Reference section topics include: how to receive and complete
Quests, where to find all the Keys used in the game, where to find Words used
to activate glyphs, where to find NPCs to join your party, and where to find
Curiosities that will improve your party but which are not essential to game
play.

NAVIGATING:
There are two features of using this walkthrough to navigate the Dungeons of
RoMD that you must understand before you start. First is knowing the direction
you should go, and the second is knowing the direction of the object/wall/door
you are interacting with. You cannot rotate or change perspective on the map
you are navigating. This means that directions based on your character's
perspective won't help. Instead you will be told which direction to go in
relation to the map they are walking through as you view it "from above".
Orient yourself based on the layout of your screen. North is the top of your
screen, south is the bottom, east is the right side and west is the left side.
If you read an instruction to go north until you see a wooden door, that means
move your characters toward the top of the screen until a door comes into your
field of vision. In actuality, because the map is slanted, the directions you
will most often walk will be northeast (upper right corner of your screen),
southeast (lower right corner of your screen), southwest (lower left corner of
your screen) and northwest (upper left corner of your screen). The second
feature relates to how objects on the screen are described, especially walls
and doors. If you are in a diamond shaped room with 4 doors, then the door
northeast is the northeast door on the northeast wall. If you go through that
door it now becomes the southwest door on the southwest wall. The only reason I
am belaboring this point is that it is possible to "walk east to a southeast
wall" or "enter the room northeast, pick up an item and return to the room
southwest", and I want you to understand that navigation is a mix of your
perspective and the relationship of your characters to their environment.

More Walkthrough Notes:
- TO BEAR in a direction is to continue in that direction regardless of
obstruction like pillars, corners, rocks, and ruined walls until you reach the
described destination.
- TO FOLLOW a path is to continue regardless of how many turns you must take
until you reach the end of it.
- I do not type out the NAMES of the four basic characters because it would
further clutter this already complicated document. Instead I refer to them as
Paladin, Sorcerer, Cleric, and Rogue.
- When I say "I GAVE TO ______" it means I equipped that item on that
character. (You will see this written over and over in the Acquire section of
many Events). Items that I wanted to hold onto but did not equip I mention by
saying "I KEPT FOR ______".
- Since you are playing without the benefit of external MAPS you may want to
number your in-game maps as you go along so that it corresponds with this
Walkthrough. This will make finding places you must go back to much easier.
- Amounts of GOLD given as plunder after battle or in chests/treasure icons are
randomly generated within certain limits. During this Walkthrough I will tell
you where to get gold but not how much you can get, since that amount will
change from game to game.
- Vital Events are listed in CAPS, (EVENT 137, for example). Pay special
attention to these, they advance specific Quests. Certain events do not contain
any Quest notes, these are not listed in CAPS, (Event 17, for example). To make
sure that your characters are at full strength for the final battle, you should
complete each Event.
- Whenever you transition to a new in-game map between Events, you will see a
map indicator such as (SURFACE MAP) or (FIRST CELLAR MAP) listed to the right
of the name of the Event. Every subsequent Event that does not have a map
indicator was performed on the same board.

III) GAME CONTROLS:
Most game functions are controlled with the mouse; the keyboard is used as a
shortcut for complicated sequences normally performed by the mouse.

Main Menu Interface:
- From the START-UP SCREEN you can start a new game through the Single Player
Menu, create or join a multiplayer game through the multiplayer menu, play a
tutorial game or bring up the options screen.
- In the OPTIONS SCREEN you can view the game movies you have unlocked, edit
the game settings (see below for details), view the hot keys and view the
credits.

Screen Interface:
- To MOVE to a location, pass the mouse icon over it until it turns to a
walking/running person icon, then Left-Click. Areas that are out of bounds will
show up as a red circle with a line through it. When movement will cause you to
travel between maps, the move icon will become a steps (transitional) icon.
- To make your characters RUN, press the Right Shift Key.
- To SELECT an icon, Left-Click on it.
- To SELECT A CHARACTER to move or work with, Left-Click on that character, or
Left-Click on their corresponding colored bar in the bottom right menu. (Hold
your cursor over a character to learn the color associated with them). You can
also select a character with keys 1-6, these correspond to the colored bars.
- You can choose to move your WHOLE PARTY or just the selected person by
Left-Clicking on the round icon in the bottom right corner of the screen, to
the right of the colored bars.
- To get your party to REST (recover health and recharge spells) select the
tent icon between the colored bars and the whole party icon. You can only rest
if the tent icon is yellow or green, a red icon means that it is too dangerous
to rest in this area. Note that a yellow icon means that there is a chance your
characters will be ambushed as they sleep, but a green icon is perfectly safe.
- You can get your party to hold a FORMATION you arrange them into by clicking
the icon with 6 colored dots, just above the tent icon.
- To bring up the GAME MENU during play, click the circular icon with the
dragon's face in the bottom left corner of the screen, or press Esc. The main
menu allows you to load your game at any time, save (not during battle), quit
to the Main Menu, and adjust the game settings.
- You can view your QUEST STATUS by selecting the Book icon right of the game
menu icon.
- You can view the in-game MAPS by selecting the Map icon two spaces to the
right of the Quest icon.
- The space between the Quest icon and the map icon displays the TIME OF DAY;
if no sun is visible it is nighttime and that means you will randomly encounter
undead on the surface map.
- You can INTERACT WITH AN OBJECT on the screen by Right-Clicking on it and
then selecting one of the options displayed in the pop-up menu for that object.
Alternatively, you can just Left-Click the object and the most common action
for that item will be performed.
- You can skip through cut scenes and text boxes/dialogue using the spacebar.

Character Interface:
- Right-Click on a character, or press Tab after selecting that character with
a mouse to bring up the pop-up CHARACTER INTERFACE MENU. At the top you will
see the name of the character, their Hit Points (how much damage they can take
before they go unconscious or die) and Armor Class (how well protected they are
from the attacks of enemies). From this menu you can view the Character Sheet,
Inventory, Skills, and Spells for that character. During battle you can also
select Combat Options. Later, you may want to use the Remove from Party option
to make room for a new NPC to enter your party.
- The CHARACTER SHEET tells you a great deal about your character. To the right
of the character's name is their alignment (limits the classes they can choose
to be), their Race (provides stat bonuses and penalties), and their class
level(class determines the skills and spells they can use). Beneath the
character's name is the amount of experience (XP) they have and the amount of
XP they need to advance to a new level. XP is gained by completing Quests and
defeating enemies. The higher a character advances in level, the more skills,
spells and abilities it develops related to its class. Beneath XP is another
listing of HP and AC, and a total for the gold you party is carrying. Beneath
the gold icon are the 6 stats that tell you how powerful or inept your
characters are. Str(ength) and Dex(terity) enhance a character's battle and
defensive capabilities. Con(stitution) helps to determine HP and the ability of
spell caster's to complete spells under pressure. Int(elligence) influences the
skills you characters develop. Wis(dom) is necessary to cast Divine Spells used
by Clerics. Cha(risma) is necessary to cast Arcane Spells used by Sorcerers.
The spinning picture of your character is a "paper doll" that you can equip
armor, weapons and special items to that will enhance you characters stats and
AC. At the bottom left corner of the Character sheet is a section that explains
what spells have been cast on your character. The grid on the right side of the
Sheet is an inventory window that show what your character is carrying.
Right-Click on a item to read a description of its properties. To equip an item
Left-Click and hold, then drag it to the paper doll and release. You can give
an item to a different character in your party by dragging the item to their
picture at the bottom of the Character Sheet. Left-Click on one of these
pictures to view the Sheet for that character. Above the inventory grid is an
(Enc)umbrance amount and description (this is the weight of the items you are
carrying and the amount you can carry; light encumbrance is preferable because
your character will move more and more slowly as it advances to moderate, heavy
and very heavy encumbrance). Also above the grid is a hand and arrow icon; drag
an item from your inventory over this icon if you want to drop it. There are 4
colored icons above the inventory that give more detailed information about
your characters, Spells, Skills and Feats, and Stats. Select the red icon to
view the inventory again.
- INVENTORY can also be viewed from the pop-up Character Interface Menu, or by
pressing "i" on your keyboard. You inventory is divided into magic items,
weapons and armor, and you can equip or use these items by selecting their name
in the menu. Scroll through a long inventory by selecting "More...".
- SKILLS for your character include actions like Heal (used to keep an
unconscious person from dying), Search (look for hidden doors or traps), Open
Lock & Disable Device (used by Rogues to remove traps and unlock chests or
doors), and so on. Open this menu quickly with the "s" key.
- ARCANE SPELLS are spells cast by Sorcerer's, DIVINE SPELLS are those cast by
Clerics. You can open these menus with the "a" and "d" keys respectively.

Battle Interface:
- Left-Click on a enemy target to initiate COMBAT, attack during combat, or
move towards.
- To CAST A SPELL, select it from your spell menu and the Left-Click on an area
or person you want it to effect. Watch for the targets to turn red, this
indicates they will be affected by the spell.
- During battle, press "c" to bring up COMBAT OPTIONS  that can tell you
character how to attack or defend during a round of battle. Through this menu
you can Turn Undead and trigger Power Attacks.
- When moving during combat look for a "+ SIGN" next to your move cursor, this
means your character can act after they move.
- To create a KEYMAP, which is a short cut to a character action triggered by a
function key, perform the action, then press and hold the Ctrl Key and select a
function key, then release Ctrl. From now on when you press that function key
while the same character is selected, that action will be performed. I kept
many spells and skills, such as Turn Undead, Heal, Confusion, Fireball, and
almost all of the beneficial/defensive Cleric spells, set to keymaps.

Game Settings Interface:
- The GAME SETTINGS menu allows you to turn off the voices, which accompany
text dialogue; adjust Character Occlusion, which makes characters and enemies
easier or harder to see behind walls; Shadow Level, which adjusts the shadowing
that follows your characters; combat round speed, which increases or decreases
the length of time your characters have to act during battle; adjust
SFX/Cinematic Volume and Music Volume; and adjust mouse speed to increase or
decrease the sensitivity of your mouse.

*******************************************************************************
IV) HINTS:
*COMBAT:
- Early on there is one PRIMARY STRATEGY you will repeat over and over again,
melee (close range) fighters will be your frontline while your spell casters
stand back hurling magic toward the fray. Later, as your party grows in power,
you will want to delay the entrance of your melee fighters into battle to give
your magic users a round to cast devastating area-effect spells like Cone of
Cold, Confusion, Fireball, Flamestrike, Fire Storm and so on, without harming
your own party. After the initial round you will still have to revert to the
primary strategy as the enemy closes in on your ranks.
- Never let a battle go against you; don't let you characters get killed and
then run all the way back to a healer. Just LOAD and try again. The Load
function is the one gift the creators of this game gave you, use it.
- DOORWAYS are the main obstacle during battle, standing to the side of doors
(remaining out of the line of sight of the enemies inside) when you open them
will draw the enemy into the hall and prevent the enemy from using magic on you
as your characters stand in the doorway during the all too frequent enemy
ambush rounds. Another tactic is to block the door with your best melee
fighters so that the enemy cannot exit the room. No more than 1-3 enemies at a
time will be able to fight the characters blocking the door because of the
limited space. During such battles you can keep your magic users behind the
melee fighters blocking the door and shoot magic into the room (such as
Fireball and Flamestrike); I call this the block and blast tactic, and it is
great for clearing rooms filled with enemy melee fighters.
- Your Cleric has the ability to Turn Undead during combat, which will either
hold them in place or slay them if she is of a high enough level. Since much of
the combat in RoMD is against undead this will be very helpful. There are
problems though. Most of the time armies of undead are mixes of higher and
lower level creatures, this means you will only incapacitate some of the
creatures, and Turn Undead will not work on many creatures like Shadows,
Wraiths, Spectres and so on, early in the game. Another problem is that it
normally requires line of sight, so you will need to carefully position the
Cleric and possibly cast it more than once per battle. I kept this as keymap F2
through the entire game and at least tried it in every Undead battle to keep
track of the Cleric’s growing ability to hold or destroy Undead. Keep in mind
that it is important to get the Cleric’s naturally low initiative up so that
she can use Turn Undead earlier in battle, so whenever I found an initiative
improving item early on, I gave it to her.
- If you watch the battle TURN ORDER you may notice that a monster has yet to
attack on a round; a good strategy, if you think you have the strength to kill
that creature or block its magic attack, is to target it rather than a monster
that has already used its turn during that round. This strategy may prevent
some damage during battle.
- When I played through RoMD the first time, I kept the TURN SPEED at its
default because I didn’t know any better. When I wrote the walkthrough I found
out I could turn it off and I did so I could record details on who I was
attacking and how I defeated them. The game is much more enjoyable and fair if
you set the turn speed to off. Why waste a characters turn because you are
having difficulty using the right-click pop up menus to equip an item; or
because you are trying to find a zone to cast a spell without killing all of
your own characters? If you are finding the game to be a little tough, lower
the turn speed or turn it off completely and give yourself a minute to think.
- Your characters can use healing SALVES on other people (in or out of battle),
but healing POTIONS can only be used by the person in possession of them. As
you plunder, you should keep several healing salves for each character so that
you can use them during major battles (like defeating Pelendralaar). During
such battles, ineffective or weaker characters, or those who cannot get in
close range of combat, can use salves on those who are doing the fighting so
that the melee fighters don't have to waste a turn healing themselves.
- Keep your ENCUMBRANCE light to maximize movement range in battle. In other
words, don't take everything you see, only what you need.
- Most of the time you will want to LET THE ENEMY COME TO YOU because after
crossing the battlefield they will not be able to attack in the same round.
After all you do not want to expose your characters prematurely. If you have to
wait, have you characters do something useful with their turns like heal or
cast defensive spells of change weapons. Watch for the + icon when you move,
you might be able to get your characters into a better position from which to
cast spells and still have enough time to cast a spell too. It is very
important to use this feature wisely.
- Your players ranged attacks with BOWS OR SLINGS are practically worthless
throughout most of the game. Never try to shoot a bow with an enemy close by or
they will get a free attack to interrupt your shot.
- If you cannot cure wounds in battle (such as in the event your Cleric is out
of spells or unconscious), at least try to use the HEAL SKILL to stabilize your
wounded party members so they don’t die (at -10HP). It is a lot harder to
Resurrect then sleep and recover.

*MAGIC
- The DISPEL MAGIC spell can clear many of the area-effect spells you will
encounter such as Confusion and Darkness. The effectiveness of the Dispel
depends on the skill of the caster versus the level of the spell to be removed.
- I rarely use spells with CHARM effects because you end up having to fight the
creatures you charm, as opposed to CONFUSION, which paralyzes everyone who is
vulnerable and eliminates the need for any responsive battling.
- WANDS are only used by Clerics or Sorcerers, based on the spells they would
normally cast. ENCHANTED EQUIPMENT that can cast spells can be used by anyone
proficient with or who can equip that type of armor/weapon/jewelry.
- Spells that do slow, continuous damage during battle (like Melf’s Acid Arrow
and Incendiary Cloud) can sometimes DISRUPT THE SPELLS of enemy magic users.
- If a character goes UNCONSCIOUS they lose the beneficial spells cast on them.
- You should load up on defensive/beneficial spells when you first encounter
new creatures and have not developed a good system for defeating them. Don’t
complain a battle is too hard if you haven’t even tried using your
defensive/beneficial (mainly Cleric) spells. Since it takes so long to cast
most of them again and again, set keymaps for them to speed the effort up.
During this walkthrough, I refer to the casting of such spells before battle as
"POWERING-UP", and I give explanations of the available defensive/beneficial
spells that I used to "power-up" my characters.
- CLOSE RANGE SPELLS such as Chill Touch are hard to use because the enemy can
get a chance to interrupt the character as they cast. In general, try not to
cast while an enemy is right next to you or you will be attacked.

*ADVENTURING
- ACTIVE BARRELS, those that contain items or stat bonuses, are brighter and
more ornate than the normal dull brown empty barrels. Keep an eye out for them.
The game refers to barrels that contain items as Barrel Precious, and those
that contain Stat bonuses as Barrel Labeled # <so and so>. I combined these two
terms and called them “fancy barrels” throughout this walkthrough, for the sake
of simplicity.
- If you receive a message that you have failed to PICK A LOCK, keep trying a
few more times; some (but not all) locks can be opened after repeated attempts.
- Colors on the STONE MARKERS correspond to the color of the Rhonglyn device
pillar used to access that floor.
- I recommend you set Character OCCLUSION to maximum so that you can fully see
your characters and enemies through walls. This makes spotting and targeting a
lot easier.
- When you find OPEN CHESTS in a room you have just entered, you may want to
close and reopen them, when they reopen they may give you a reward like a
normal chest does. The fact your characters are not able to immediately pick up
an item from an open chest, but instead must close the chest and reopen it like
a game of peek-a-boo, proves just how frustrating this game can be.
- If ever you BACKTRACK in the Catacombs you may encounter Freth Drow Robbers,
Undead armies, Freth Drow Scouts or groups of Orog Marauders which patrol
certain areas once you have passed through them. For this Walkthrough I only
included such encounters if it was necessary to back track as part of an event;
however I did not include any unnecessary back tracking encounters in either
the text of this Walkthrough or as part of play (which would have skewed the
experience progression of my characters; in other words my characters never got
into unnecessary back tracking encounters, thus they never received experience
from such encounters).
- Listen for QUEST MUSIC, it plays whenever your Quest Log is updated.
- Leave behind most of the JUNK you find in dungeons; just take what would
benefit your characters. Unlike games such as Might and Magic, where you can
get good money for what you sell and you need that money to pay for food,
spells and transport, there is simply no need for money in RoMD since there is
almost nothing to buy and no need to pay for anything. If you do find something
you want to buy, a few magic items from the dungeons will be enough to cover
the expense. Note: You can save and sell wands that only have one charge left
to get the full value of the wand; don't just waste that last charge unless you
really need it (such as to defeat a tough boss).
- CHESTS you are emptying out are a great place to dump excess items, this
keeps the floors of the dungeons from being cluttered with items you just
dropped which you might mistake for missed treasure on your way back through a
room.
- You cannot acquire MULTIPLE BONUSES to the same stat from two or more
different items. In other words, if you find a ring that gives +2 strength and
an amulet that gives +3 strength, you do not get +5 strength for equipping
both, instead you will get the greater benefit, +3 Str and the +2 Str ring will
be wasted on the character to which it is equipped. This means you should
spread out your magical items very carefully so as not to double up on items
you do not get a bonus from.
- Armor with even a 10% chance of ARCANE SPELL FAILURE is too much of a
hindrance to your spell caster's abilities; it will cause their spells to fail
more than the suggested 10% of the time. I tested this by recording the number
of times my Sorcerer failed to cast her spells while wearing armor with a 10%
failure rate. Out of 20 spells cast my Sorcerer failed 6 times because of her
armor!
- Your characters must be conscious in order to gain EXPERIENCE from Quests and
Battles. Battle experience is split up amongst them, Quest experience is
rewarded to each individually.
-REST Frequently. Most rooms with closed doors can be rested in, just look for
a green rest icon. The game is not timed, so it doesn't matter how much time
your characters waste sleeping. When you first enter a map, I try to show you
to a nearby location that you can sleep at as soon as possible, so that you
don't have to leave the map in order to rest.

*******************************************************************************
V)  PARTY CREATION:
I chose a party based on the recommendations of the Game Manual (page 48). The
manual says you should have a good fighter, a character who can casts
aggressive spells, a character who can heal, and a Rogue. Therefore, I selected
the Paladin, Sorcerer, Cleric and Rogue from among the Default characters. Why
the Paladin from amongst the three good fighters? He was the only human, and I
wanted my party to be as generic/default as possible. By being as middle of the
road as it could be, the party will hopefully reflect the absolute average of
what everyone else will put in their party. This way, the Walkthrough can help
as many people as possible; or so the theory goes. If you are having trouble
with the game, try the default party suggested here.

*******************************************************************************
VI) SOLUTION:

EVENT 01: Arrival in Myth Drannor (SURFACE MAP)
Quest Notes: You start with The Pool, Awakened Quest.
Enemies: 2 Orcs.
Notes: When your party first steps out of the portal, they have a chance to get
the jump on two Orcs scavenging nearby. It is very easy to mess up this early
since the enemy can incapacitate your characters in one blow. You will have to
use the element of surprise to get a better attack position in the first round
of battle, then attack in the second. Remember to use your arcane and divine
spells as necessary. Magic missile might be able to take one out quickly; bless
can improve your characters chance to hit and shield of faith and resistance
can decrease the enemies chance to hit you; cure minor wounds or laying on
hands can revive your characters during battle so don’t let them reach -10HP.
After the battle, take some time to review the information on your party, get
familiar with their skills, spells and statistics. Press Right Shift key to
make your party run. Take the items dropped after the battle and the pile of
gold southwest.
Acquire: From dropped items, Battleaxe, salve of Cure Light Wounds Level 5.
Go: South until you see a blue marker by a bridge, read the marker twice.
Greener’s Glade is across the bridge, Circle of Spears is to the east. Let’s
cross the bridge southwest.

Event 02: The Bridge to Greener’s Glade
Enemies: 2 Orcs.
Notes: As soon as you approach the bridge, you encounter and must defeat 2
Orcs; use the same strategy as before, take the armor dropped after the battle
and cross the bridge southwest. On other side of bridge head southeast and go
clockwise around the massive tree trunk and back to the bridge. Halfway around
the stump you will see a glyph, remember this location. You can REST HERE at
any time to regain health and magic spells on this board. Later you will enter
this glyph and meet a helpful healer. Remember not to travel at night on the
surface, you will encounter random groups of undead who have nothing to do with
the Quest, simply sleep through the night if you want to avoid them. Three
quarters of the way around the tree trunk you will see a blocked cavern
doorway, this will be an important dungeon exit later in the game but for now
it is impassible.
Acquire: From Orcs, Leather Armor +1 AC (I gave to Rogue).
Go: After crossing back over the bridge, head north to the Spinning Spire, then
northeast following the north wall.

Event 03: Undead Guarding the Fountain
Enemies: 4 Skeletons and 4 Zombies
Notes: First you will encounter a Zombie and a Skeleton, both are vulnerable to
magic missile, at this level your Cleric’s Turn Undead can hold most Zombies
and Skeletons making them easy to kill, send melee fighters to front, Sorcerer
casts. After the battle go northeast and east following the north wall until
you encounter a group of 3 Skeletons. As you see them approach, stop and let
them come to you to get the surprise advantage. Use same tactics as before.
Head southwest toward three barrels, here you will encounter 3 Zombies guarding
a healing fountain. Stand your ground and let them come to you. Look in the
third barrel to get the Hardwood Key. After the battle, use the fountain to
heal, then use the Hardwood Key to unlock the chest to the right of the
fountain.
Acquire: From the Fancy Barrel, Hardwood Key. From the chest, 2 Cleric's
Scrolls of Remove Paralysis Level 10, salve of Cure Light Wounds Level 5.
Go: Back down the steps, head east to a ruined wall and then southeast until
you arrive at a paved clearing with a peddler’s cart, approach the steps
leading into it.

EVENT 04: Nottle, Beriand and Faeril; getting the first Quests.
Quest Notes: You are given the Knock, Knock Quest after saving Nottle, and you
can immediately finish it by returning to the glyph, speaking to the hiding
elves, and learning the Word of Mystra. Talking to Beriand you can get the
following Quests: Death’s Bane, Bone Whispers, Undead Awakened, Sharpest Tooth,
Nightmare Walking, Heart of Stone, Alone in the Darkness, Tooth in Glove,
Persistence of Shadows, Fist of Zud, Bedlam Haunts, Earthborn Wind, Waters of
Life, Tomes of Evil, Borea’s Blood, The Stars Below.
Enemies: 2 Zombies.
Notes: At the top of the steps you must defeat 2 Zombies to rescue a man
trapped in his wagon; speak to Nottle about a reward and the secret place to
get the Knocking Word and 500 experience; this conversation activates the glyph
you found in Greener’s Glade, Event 02. You can also ask him about his
business, Myth Drannor, treasure, enemies and Athan’s Band. Nottle has terrible
prices and almost no inventory, simply unload your excess items on him every
now and then. Head back to the tree stump glyph and approach it to
automatically speak the Knocking Word. You will meet Beriand and Faeril hiding
in their tree house. Talk to them about everything, reserving the “Take up
Athan’s Quest” line for last. Afterward you can get a bit more information from
them before they cut off the conversation. Approach the book and Left-Click on
it to get the Word of Mystra, this completes the Knock, Knock Quest and bestows
500 experience, bringing all your characters to Level 2 in their respective
classes. Speak to Beriand over and over again asking him tales of the dungeons
and above ground areas until you can no longer speak to him. This grants you
many Quests, see the Quest notes for this event to find out which ones you can
get. Check the Quest Reference at the end of this document for more information
on how to solve each Quest. Remember, you can return to Beriand whenever you
need healing.
Go: Exit the tree house, head back across the bridge, go southeast following
the ravine.

Event 05: Clearing the Center of Stillwater.
Enemies: 3 Orcs, 2 Skeletons
Notes: You will encounter two Orcs near a tall raised platform. Defeat them
then go east. By an empty chest you will have to defeat another Orc. Continue
east to a ruined tower, inside is a chest; I recommend sending your character
with the highest HP in alone to open the chest. This will trigger an ambush
where two Skeletons suddenly appear. Your strong character should be able to
take the damage. Afterward finish off the Skeletons to get two pieces of
magical jewelry. Head north to Nottle’s wagon and sleep there.
Acquire: From the tower chest, Ring of Protection +1 AC and saving throws, (I
gave it to the Sorcerer); Amulet of Constitution +1 CON, (I gave it to the
Cleric).
Go: After you rest, head northeast from Nottle’s wagon until you encounter
several Orcs.

Event 06: The Orc Encampment
Enemies: 4 Orcs, Orc Leader
Notes: You can just attack the 3 Orcs guarding the encampment outright, they
have nothing to say, really. Try using the Daze Cantrip, it can keep an enemy
out of battle for a period of time making it easy to kill and reducing the
number of enemy attackers; still you must balance this against the possibility
of killing it with magic missile, and the fact that most creatures are immune
to Daze. Sleep has the same properties as Daze, except that it works on a
larger area (can also put your own party to sleep so be careful) and it wears
off once the victim is attacked. You may want to use these spells if you find
yourself overwhelmed by the number of attackers. Pick up gold dropped after the
battle. You may want to sleep again before proceeding. Make sure you have
defensive spells already cast, then destroy the boulder blocking the doorway,
go up the steps north and enter the camp. You must now defeat an Orc and an Orc
Leader (who is hard to beat at your current level). Hang back and let them come
to you. Get rid of the Orc first, so that you can concentrate on the leader.
After both are defeated go north into camp and have your Rogue open the chest
(it is trapped).
Acquire: From the Orc chest, War Hammer +1 hit/damage; Ring of Protection +1
AC/saving throws (Gave both to Cleric).
Go: Sleep at Nottle’s, then go south to the ravine, then east past a crumbling
walkway.

EVENT 07: The Door to the Main Halls
Quest Notes: Here you will find the Blue Stone necessary to The Planet’s Above
Quest given much later in the game.
Enemies: 2 Orc Leaders, 2 Orcs.
Notes: From the crumbling walkway head east for quite some time until you
arrive at a patch of blueglow moss, you can Left-Click on it with a hurt
character selected to restore some HP to that character; the supply of it is
limited, but it does recover potency over time. Head north from the moss to
find the door to the dungeon, defeat two Orc Leaders here (again these can be
tough at your current level, remember to load up on defensive spells beforehand
and use magic missile). Pick up the treasure then go west of the door to a
staircase with 2 Orcs. The first is easy to kill, but the second will stay far
back and shoot you with arrows. Use magic missile on the distant one. Afterward
take their treasure.
Acquire: From the door guards, Blue Stone (This is a Quest Item activated later
in the game so you must hold on to it) and Great War Hammer; you may want to
equip this weapon on your Paladin/Fighter, it does more damage, but without a
shield his AC will go down. From the archer you get a Longbow (Rogue can’t use)
and a quiver of arrows +1 to hit/damage, equip the arrows on the Rogue, who is
the character most likely to hit with a bow.
Go: Sleep, cast defensive spells, then approach the glyph in front of the
Tumbledown Door to the dungeons and the Word of Mystra is spoken, enter the
dungeons.

Event 08: Keys of the Living and Dead (MAIN HALLS MAP)
Enemies: 2 Orcs, 1 Orc Leader
Notes: When you first arrive 2 Orcs are scavenging to the northeast and a Orc
Leader waits to the southeast, you have the initiative so defeat the leader
first. Afterward pick up the Key of the Dead on the table on the northwest side
of the room, then open the chest to the left to get the Key of the Living. You
can sleep in this room before moving on; remember to return here and sleep
whenever necessary. As you progress you will find many more rooms with safe
sleep zones; from now on I will only mention sleep areas when they are either
the first found on a board, or should be used before an important battle.
Acquire: From table, Key of the Dead. From the chest, Key of the Living,
Shortsword +1 hit/damage, give it to the Rogue, and a Sling with a +2
hit/damage, give it to the Cleric or Sorcerer.
Go: Through the door to the northeast, opened with the Key of the Dead, head
east.

Event 09: Key of Dead Chambers
Enemies: 12 Skeletons, 7 Zombies, Orc Leader, Orc
Notes: Soon you will encounter 4 Skeletons, defeat them (note that at level 2
your Cleric’s Turn Undead spell can destroy most Skeletons but only holds
Zombies) then go northeast through a narrow passage and you will encounter 3
Zombies you must defeat. Go west around the corner, then head southwest  to a
partition wall, destroy the fourth panel from the left and go through. Head
southwest to 2 wells, both hold a small amount of gold, after you take it you
will be ambushed by 2 Zombies and 2 Skeletons, defeat them then go west to a
fountain, Left-Click on it to get another small amount of gold. Go north of the
fountain, through a door into a ruined library, this will trigger and encounter
between an Orc Leader, an Orc and two Zombies. You can stand back and let them
do damage to each other while hurling magic spells, just remember to get close
enough to finish off the Orcs once the Zombies go down. Head west from the
carnage until you reach a wall, then head south through a set of iron doors,
there are 6 Skeletons lying on the floor in this room, they will pop up in
pairs and engage you so be ready. You can also initiate the attack on them
while they are laying down. Open the chest.
Acquire: From the Orc/Zombie conflict LongSpear +1 hit/damage. From chest in 6
Skeleton room a Battleaxe +1 hit/damage and 2 potions of Restoration Level 10
(use them to recover from level and stat decreases caused by certain hostile
spells and attacks {Wraith and Shadow attacks for example}, distribute them
evenly and use them wisely).
Go: Sleep, cast defensive spells, then exit the room and go back to the scene
of the Orc/Zombie battle, then head southeast until you reach a chamber with an
open door to the east, go through it.

Event 10: The Wraith and the Orcs
Enemies: 2 Orcs, an Orc Leader and a Wraith
Notes: Defeat the three Orcs first, get close and initiate an attack, otherwise
you will have to deal when them later. I used sleep on them, then defeated them
one at a time. Pick up the potion of Haste they drop (this can allow partial
extra actions in a critical battle). Go and sleep, cast defensive power-up
spells and return. The Wraith is very hard to beat (currently immune to Turn
Undead) at your current level but it is possible. Put your best fighter up
front to draw the wraith’s attention, he will take the brunt of the Wraiths
Constitution draining attack. The other melee fighters should then move in and
do damage once the wraith has chosen his target. The spell caster is essential
to this effort, keep her back and have her cast Disrupt Undead and Magic
Missile. You will miss constantly and receive messages that your weapons do not
harm incorporeal opponents but this is deceiving, if you just keep trying, you
will land a blow eventually. One more thing is vital, use the potions of
Restoration on your best fighter should his constitution get very low, because
if it reaches 0 he will die. After the battle have the Rogue open the chest and
then take your prizes.
Acquire: Potion of Haste Level 15 from the Orcs. From the Wraith’s chest,
Ancient Dwarven Chest Key, leather armor +3 AC (I gave to Rogue), Chainmail (I
gave to Cleric), and a longsword +1 hit/damage.
Go: Head back to the dungeon entrance, sleep, cast defensive spells and go
through the Door of the Living. On the way out of the Wraith’s room you will
get a message about a hint of Jasmine.

Event 11: Using the Key of the Living, Finding the Turgild Square
Enemies: 4 Orcs, 3 Zombies
Notes: After using the Key of the Living to open the door, quickly head east to
3 pillars and wait for a party of 4 Orcs to approach. These Orcs shoot arrows
so you will want to get close to stop them from using their bows. The sleep
spell is effective here if you can get a good angle around the pillars
(remember to cast this in an area where it will hit the most enemies and avoid
your people). Continue southeast to an intersection then head northeast (you
receive a message about a grand thoroughfare). Head east following the brick
colored thoroughfare to a yellow marker, click on it to learn that the Turgild
Square is south, and the Great Hall is north. Go through the opening southwest
and you will encounter 3 Zombies, defeat them then continue southwest, go
through the doorway south, then bear southeast at three pillars and you arrive
in a courtyard with a message about how the pubic wells have gone dry.

EVENT 12: Turgild Fountains
Quest Info: After a battle with 4 Orcs you will obtain a Quest (Turgild
Lifespring) from an elf ghost who wishes you to restore the fountains in
Tirgild square.
Enemies: 4 Orcs
Notes: Approach the first well (Well of Beauty) southeast and a battle begins
with 4 Orcs, two use bows and are quite some distance away so be fast. After
the battle approach the fountain again, Elena speaks: If you would drink from
the fountains you must put the Lifespring guardian to rest, friends will help
you if you know where to look; you acquire the Echoing Word. Enter the door to
the southwest and you will have to defeat two Orcs, there are two chests in
this room, both are trapped so have the Rogue open them to get two long bows.
Enter the room southeast through the iron door and defeat 3 Orcs. Then exit
back to the Turgild Square and go southeast to the Fountain of Rest. Go
northeast to the well of Endurance, then go through the door to the east. In
this room are two chests that both contain a small amount of gold.
Acquire: Two chests room southwest, 2 Long bows +1 hit/damage each (I gave 1 to
the Paladin).
Go: Southwest through the iron door into Jarial’s room.

EVENT 13: Freeing Jarial
Quest: Here you have a chance to solve the Heart of Stone Quest by freeing
Jarial the Sorcerer from his prison of Rock.
Notes: In this room is a Sorcerer trapped in a rock, he gives you a riddle
about a Quest of love. Talk to him in depth, and be sure to ask him what words
he has tried, this tells you that the solution to the riddle is not a word.
Learn about his past and what he has seen of the dungeon. After you have talked
to him about everything he offers to join you if you free him. Select a
character with a ring on its hand and have that character go around to Jarial’s
back and strike the rock to break it (the correct interface zone is at the base
of the boulder near the floor tile). Once he is free ask him to join the party,

he will be ahead of your characters in experience.
Go: Exit Turgild Square, go northwest to the Well of Wisdom, then go northeast.
In this hall you will here the clank of dwarven armor. Open the door in the
middle of the hall on the northwest side.

Event 14: Getting the Ancient Rusted Iron Key
Enemies: 4 Zombies and 2 Skeletons
Notes: In this room are 2 Zombies and 2 Skeletons. Jarial can cast magic
missile twice (because of his level) and Disrupt Undead along with your other
mage; combined with Turn Undead, these spells will make quick work of the
enemies in this room. Afterward destroy the second partition from the left, go
through to the spike on the north side of the room and Left-Click on it. Have
your Rogue open the trapped chest behind the spike to get the Ancient Rusted
Iron Key, a Dagger and a note saying let no harm come to the dead. Enter room
across hall to southeast; click on the  fountain to set off an ambush with two
Zombies, kill them then click on the fountain again to get some gold. There are
two fancy barrels in this room, search both, one contains gold, the other a
scroll and pair of gauntlets.
Acquire: From spike room, note about protecting the dead (I found no reason to
drag the notes around so you can leave them behind once read), the Ancient
Rusted Iron Key and Jeweled Dagger +3 hit/damage (I gave to Jarial). From
fountain room Cleric's scroll of Harm level 20 (meant to be used against living
things), and Fists of Ranman +4 damage for monks (if you have one).
Go: Back to the first intersection after passing through the Door of the Living
and this time go southeast, eventually you must make a turn southwest.

Event 15: The Rhonglyn Room and the Axehandle Inn
Enemies: 2 Skeletons, 5 Zombies, 10 Orcs.
Notes: Where the southwest hall opens to a large chamber you will encounter 2
Skeletons and a Zombie. After dispatching them go to the northwest area of the
chamber to find a healing fountain (return here as necessary, it works just
like the one in Stillwater). Go southeast to some barrels, then go south
through a passage to a room with a stone octagon, here you must defeat four
Zombies, then continue south. You will see an ice door, smash it and enter the
Rhonglyn Room, a transport device that is currently frozen. There is some chain
armor, 2 longspears and a long sword here, take what you like, then exit the
room through the southwest ice door. Go west, then through the door northwest
to enter the Axehandle Inn. In the first room defeat an Orc, then enter the
room southwest, in here is a barrel labeled “3”. Throughout the dungeons you
will find potion barrels that bestow Stat improvements. 1= Strength, 2=
Dexterity, 3= Constitution, 4= Intelligence, 5= Wisdom, 6= Charisma. I gave
this barrel's contents to my Cleric. Go back through the first room to the
northeast room and defeat two more Orcs. Sleep here, cast defensive spells
(have Jarial cast Mage Armor on himself and your Sorcerer), then approach the
north door and listen, now prepare to fight. Destroy the bed to the left of the
door to give you some room, then individually position your party where the bed
used to be to keep them out of range of some of the 7 Orc archers you are about
to activate. Now open the door, use magic users to take out Orcs who have not
shot at you yet, allow some Orcs to come to you and take them out first, then
send your melee fighters to finish off the rest in the room while the magic
users remain under cover. In the northeast side of this hall is a fountain of
Restoration, which works like a restoration potion, use it wisely. Northwest of
the fountain is a dark brick area on the wall, have your Rogue approach it to
discover a secret room.
Acquire: In Rhonglyn Room, Chain Armor (I gave to Paladin), 2 Longspears and a
Longsword.
Go: Before entering the secret room, sleep and cast defensive spells to
power-up, then proceed.

Event 16: The Tavern of Health and the Wrought Iron Key
Enemies: Shadow, Zombie
Notes: After entering the room pick up the treasure on the table, then head
northwest, eventually you will be ambushed by a Shadow and a Zombie. Like the
Wraith, the Shadow will drain stats from its victims. Also like the Wraith,
weapons will be rather ineffective but can still hit. Unlike the Wraith the
Shadow can be held in place by Turn Undead. Jarial’s double magic missile is a
great help here.  Remember to use Restoration potions if needed after the
battle. Defeat both, then approach the giant keg in the northwest corner of the
room and use it to get two Divine Power potions. Go to the keg on the right and
get two level healing potions. Go east to find a collection of six stat
barrels, distribute the bonuses as you see fit (I like making stat-specialized
characters so I give all strength bonuses to my Paladin (so he can carry
everything), wisdom bonuses to my Cleric, charisma bonuses to Jarial and my
First Sorcerer, dexterity and intelligence to my Rogue; but I give Constitution
to the weakest party member. Return to the 7 Orc archers hall; in the southwest
corner are two partitions, smash the northwest one to gain access to four
chests, take their contents (one chest is opened with the Wrought Iron Key).
Acquire: Tavern of Health, Wrought Iron Key, 2 Small Shields. Northwest Keg,
two Potions of Divine Power Level 15 (these potions give great combat bonuses).
From 4 chests, 2 Longbows, Warhammer +1 hit/damage, 2 Shortswords, 2 Daggers,
Halberd, Light Mace, Quarterstaff, Warhammer +2 hit/damage (I gave to Cleric).
Go: Exit the Axehandle Inn and go southwest to a circle of spikes.

Event 17: The Scarred Mage
Enemies: Shadow, Scarred Mage, 2 Skeleton Knights, 2 Skeletons, 3 Zombies.
Notes: Here is another Shadow to beat as before, afterward pick up treasure and
head northeast to the Rhonglyn room. Go east from the Rhonglyn room through the
double doors, at the end of this room with two pillars is a locked chest your
Rogue can open to get some healing potions. Go to the left side of door on the
northeast wall, and move close (without exposing yourself) to the room, this
will trigger a battle with a Scarred Mage, 2 Skeletons and 2 Skeleton Knights
(can be held in place with Turn Undead). You must concentrate on killing the
Mage first because his Fireball spell can wipe your party out in one hit; try
to get a strong character close to him to prevent him from casting. Use your
melee fighters to hold the line while your Sorcerers and your Cleric cast
through the door. After the battle take the magical treasure items; you can
sleep in this room to recover before moving on. Enter the room to the southeast
and defeat 3 Zombies; on the northeast side of the room is a secret door your
Rogue can discover on a dark brick wall. If you go through this door you will
find a way back to Jarial’s rock room.
Acquire: The shadow drops a Wand of Restoration Level 15, 6 charges, (great
assistance when dealing with stat draining undead). From the chest in the 2
pillars hall, 2 potions of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10. The Scarred Mage
drops a Lightning Bolt Spell Level 15, (great for tough creatures on this
level; only for Sorcerers); Wand of Resurrection, can cast 2 Level 20
Resurrection Spells (useful until you get Deathsbane back for Beriand); Dagger.
Go: For now exit back to the hall from which you entered this area and continue
southeast.

Event 18: Black Skeleton Key
Enemies: 19 Skeletons, 2 Skeleton Elders, 3 Skeleton Knights
Notes: As you proceed down the east hall you receive a message about unseen
watchers, then you must defeat 3 Skeletons. Enter the open door southwest of
the Skeletons and you will have to defeat 5 more in a hallway with two stone
partitions. After that continue southwest to a large chamber with 2 Skeletons,
defeat them and take their treasure. Continue southwest and you will have to
defeat two Skeletons and a Skeleton Elder. The Elder is resistant to magic
missiles and Disrupt Undead but can be held by Turn Undead. After that, head
northwest and defeat 3 more Skeletons. Enter the double doors on the wall
north, (near the 3 Skeletons battle); Rogue must pick lock. There are 4
Skeletons and a Skeleton Elder here, use the same strategy as before, remember
to leave this area and sleep elsewhere if you need to recharge between battles.
There are 3 chests in this room each with gold. After you empty the chests,
open the eastern door to the next room; there are 3 Skeleton Knights to defeat
here. Have your party stand back and let your Rogue open the chest in this
room, it seems the trap will be set off no matter what. Take the contents
inside it, a wand, a key and a note that mentions guarding the spikes.
Acquire: First pair of Skeletons in large chamber drop a Scimitar +1 hit/damage
and dagger +2 hit/damage. The Elder drops a Shortsword and Longsword both +1 to
hit/damage. 3 Skeletons after that drop the same treasure. The 3 Skeleton
Knights drop two battleaxes and one battleaxe +2 hit/damage. I gave this to my
Paladin and let him use a shield again. The lightning trap chest has a Wand of
Magic Missiles, can cast 20 Level 5 Magic Missile Spells (great for getting
extra magic into a battle if you run out), the Black Skeleton Key, and a note
about the spikes.
Go: Exit these rooms and go west to two rows of spikes, have your Rogue
approach the brick wall between them to discover a secret door that can be
opened with the key you just picked up. This room is dry and dusty; sleep, cast
defensive spells then go down the northern staircase.

Event 19: Blood Moon Crypt (DEEP HALLS MAP)
Enemies: 2 Skeletons, Wraith
Notes: In the room beneath the northern staircase is a fancy barrel with The
Winter Blade, a shortsword with 3 Cone of Cold charges superb for upcoming
boss/hard battles (I gave it to my Rogue); this barrel also contains the Blood
Moon Key, take both then go back upstairs; now enter the southern staircase. Go
through the door on the northwest wall, in this room you must defeat two
Skeletons and another Wraith (much easier with Jarial’s magic missiles). Go
through the northwest door using the Blood Moon Key, approach the coffin and a
message “To Aeseder, brother and planeswalker...” appears. Open the coffin to
get a special amulet.
Acquire: From Barrel beneath northern staircase, Blood Moon Key, The Winter
Blade, casts 3 Level 10 Cone of Cold Spells, +2 to hit/damage/AC. From the
coffin, Kluusar’s Bloodstone Amulet, it casts Vampiric Touch level 10 (kind of
difficult to use in battle), it also bestows +2 Str, +1 AC/initiative/Reflex
Saving Throws/Will Saving Throws, +5 spell resistance but Con is -2. (I gave it
to my Paladin).
Go: Return to the Main Halls, exit the Black Skeleton Key Room, go through the
halls where you defeated all those Skeletons, then continue east down the hall
(at the intersection in front of the two stone partitions room).

Event 20: The Reptilian Scale Mail (MAIN HALLS MAP)
Enemies: 7 Zombies, 3 Skeletons, Skeleton Knight, Ghoul, Ghast.
Notes: At the end of the hall go south and you will encounter 2 Zombies. After
defeating them go southeast until you encounter 2 more Zombies, defeat them and
continue down corridor south. Another encounter occurs near a short spike,
defeat two Skeletons and a Skeleton Knight. Head east to a wooden door on the
northeast wall and have your Rogue pick the lock to enter it. In this room you
must defeat 3 Skeletons and a Skeleton Knight, go through northwester door and
defeat two Zombies. In this room are two treasure bags to plunder to get two
Remove Paralysis scrolls that can be used by your Cleric. You should go back to
a safe place to sleep and power-up before proceeding. After that, open the
northwest door, this room contains a Ghast (not vulnerable to Level 2 Turn
Undead), a Ghoul and a Zombie (both can be held by Turn Undead). I recommend
that you do not enter the room but let the Undead come to you while you block
the door with your melee fighters and your magic users stand back and hurl
spells; (if having difficulty, try having your first Sorcerer use the wand of
Magic Missiles to get more shots (4 per round) in during the battle.  Pick up
two magic items from the chest on the left, (Rogue must open).
Acquire: Room before Ghast, 2 Cleric's Scrolls of Level 15 Remove Paralysis.
Ghast chest, Wand of Melf’s Acid Arrow (it does damage to afflicted creature
every round, I gave it to my first Sorcerer) and Reptilian Scale Mail, +7 AC, I
gave it to my Rogue.
Go: Exit back to hall and continue east, then bear northeast to three pillars,
then southeast to an intersection and go south to a wooden door.

Event 21: The Freezing Wells
Enemies: 4 Zombies, Shadow
Notes: Enter room with 4 tables, go through southwest door. The large keg in
the North can be used to cast a powerful, long-lasting shield of Faith on your
characters, but remember that like with most magic dispensers its supply is
limited. Why not use it on each of your characters, then head south to pick up
a small pile of gold. Go west to pick up another pile of gold and get a message
regarding an unnatural chill. Enter the northern door and defeat two Zombies,
enter the eastern door and defeat two more Zombies. Enter northeastern door and
you see a message about the frozen Orcs. The three remaining wells are the
source of the unnatural cold, you will have to destroy them to proceed. This is
tricky because when they are destroyed they cast Cone of Cold, which can wipe
your party out. Starting with the well on the right have your party stand very
close to the wall directly above the well (arrange them individually if
necessary), then have your strongest player strike the well. Now that you
understand how this works proceed to northwest well and have the party stand
pressed against the wall to its right. When you destroy the final well no Cone
of Cold is cast. Exit these rooms and proceed southwest when you receive the
message about the floor thawing. You will find a wooden door here, behind it is
another Shadow to be defeated (this one was not vulnerable to Turn Undead for
some reason so you will probably take some stat damage before he goes down).
There are two chests here, take their contents. My Rogue reached Level 3 here.
Acquire: From Shadow’s chests, Wand of Chain Lightning Level 20, 1 charge, (I
gave this to Jarial). Sorcerer's Scroll with Melf’s Acid Arrow Level 15,
Cleric’s Scroll of Protection from Evil Level 10.
Go: Back to the intersection before you turned south to enter the room with
four tables. This time go northeast. At the open door near two pillars go
east/southeast until you reach a message about drag marks. Go northeast to a
message about unusually tidy room, go through door in southeast to a room with
a keg.

EVENT 22: The Lost Ormyrr
Quest Notes: This event is part of the Alone in the Darkness Quest, here you
will get more information about the Ormyrrs.
Notes: Head through the eastern door and approach the lost Ormyrr, assure him
you come in peace. Ask how he lost his clan, tell him you haven’t seen his
clan, ask about the magic thing, ask what it looks like, say you will look out
for the magic thing; the Ormyrr gives you a Wand of Cone of Cold Level 20 with
11 charges... Sweet. This updates the Alone in the Darkness Quest. Exit these
rooms and head northeast to a “occupied” prison cell, open it and defeat 6
weakened Orcs who are easily slaughtered (get close to them to make sure they
can’t escape when you start the attack). Exit the cell and go south. The wall
you come to contains two dark brick areas. The northeastern one has to be
searched by your Rogue directly (using the skill menu) in order for a secret
door to be discovered. Go through and read the yellow marker, it says Bedlam
prison is to the south and warns of a warden with an obsessive-compulsive
disorder focused on keys. Go southeast to the empty wells, then southwest to
the two chests and take their contents.
Acquire: From Ormyrr, Wand of Cone of Cold Level 20 with 11 charges (given to
first Sorcerer). From the two chests near the yellow marker, Wand of
Restoration Level 15 (6) charges, a Ring +1 Constitution (I gave it to first
Sorcerer), potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10, Great Warhammer +1
hit/damage (Gave to Paladin), ring of protection +1 AC (Gave to Jarial).
Go: Now enter the door southwest of the yellow marker, sleep, cast defensive
spells then go downstairs.

EVENT 23: The Spectral Jailer (DEEP HALLS MAP)
Quest Notes: Here you will find the creature that Haunts Bedlam Prison;
destroying it completes the Bedlam Haunts Quest.
Enemies: Spectre
Notes: Go through northeast door, you receive messages about jingling keys in
the distance and a guard who died at his post. In the guard’s room open the
chest to get some items for your Rogue and equip them. Exit guards room, go
through northwest door, bear west to hall with iron doors facing wooden doors.
The upcoming battle with the Spectral Jailer is tough at your current level so
you have to use you magical items to get through it (Turn Undead doesn’t work
on this monster at this level). Here’s how I did it: Paladin and Rogue block
door, Sorcerers stand behind them, when the door is thrown open Jarial uses 1
blast of the Chain Lightning wand, and the other Sorcerer uses Magic Missile
Wand. Second round Jarial uses Magic Missile and the Jailer is defeated.
Afterward pick up his treasure.
Acquire: In the guard’s room, Sleek arrows -1 hit +3 damage; (kept for Rogue);
Blade of Larceny (only used by Rogues) to +2 hit/damage/Dex. I had the Rogue
use this normally but for important battles I kept the Winter Blade equipped
for its Cone of Cold abilities. From Spectre gain Dymon’s Dutiful Gloves +4
Reflex saving throws, cast 5 level 10 Haste Spells (I gave this to my Paladin).
Go: Exit Deep Halls, go back past yellow marker and continue down the hall east
of the Orc jail cell; after awhile the hall bears southeast, the turns
northeast. At the intersection where you see a small spike to the southeast
continue northeast into a narrow corridor. Take the next right and you enter a
dead-end alley with two wooden doors, take the door on the northeast wall to
return to Stillwater, get Beriand to heal you then return to the dungeons via
the passageway you just emerged from (Left-Click the cavern entrance and select
“Return to the tombs of the Main Halls”). There are many passages throughout
the dungeons that all lead back to this one outlet in Stillwater. Later on it
will become a vital transportation tool for your party.

Event 24: Shadow Coffin and 3 Magic Kegs
Enemies: 3 Zombies, Shadow, 2 Skeletons, 3 Ghouls, 4 Orc Ghouls
Notes: Upon returning to the dungeons enter the door on the southwest wall. You
receive a message of doom; go through the next southwest door and the feeling
of dread increases. Move your party to the east side of this room, then have
your Paladin open the coffin on the right, this sets off a trap that he will
most likely resist. Afterward you will be ambushed by a Shadow and Zombie,
defeat them using your magic spells and being patient with your melee
hits/misses as usual with the Shadow. After the battle, raid the treasure from
the coffin, exit back to the alley, go down the narrow corridor southwest and
bear southeast at the next intersection. In the hall with several small spikes
is a chest with a lightning trap your Rogue will probably fail to disarm, open
it to get two Restoration potions. Head southeast to the next intersection then
go south. Here you will find an army of 2 Skeletons, 2 Zombies and a Ghoul. Go
through the eastern door, and head to the back of the room to set off combat
with 4 Orc Ghouls. Just like Orcs they are pretty easy to kill, if you move
fast you can block the door and deal with them in melee combat one at a time
while your Sorcerer's cast magic missiles on the ones trapped behind the door,
weakening them. After the battle take a closer look at the kegs in these two
rooms. One casts Heal, another Blink and another transparency (Invisibility),
but there are only a few charges of the concealing spells. I found no real need
for them but they are there if you want to try them. Exit back to the courtyard
where you just fought the Ghoul and go through the eastern door. The fountain
in this room is poisoned so stay clear. Head to the northeast side of the room
and you will encounter two Ghouls, try attacking them from a distance with
magic while your melee fighters block the door. Enter the alcove they were in
and search the bookcase on the left to get a few magic items. Head back to the
short spikes hall and go northeast. On the northwest side of the hall you will
find a series of crates, one contains some magic items you can plunder.
Acquire: From the Shadow’s coffin, Plate Mail +7 AC (I gave this to the Paladin
because he needs the extra protection w/o his shield), 2 potions of Neutralize
Poison Level 10, and a Wand of Resurrection, Level 20, 2 Charges. From the
lightning chest get two Level 15 Restoration potions. From the bookcase in the
two Ghouls alcove, another Wand of Restoration level 15, 6 charges, Cleric’s
Scroll of Slow Poison level 15 and another potion of Neutralize Poison Level
10. From crate in short spikes northeast hall, 2 potions of Neutralize Poison
Level 10, and a Cleric’s Scroll of Remove Paralysis Level 10
Go: Continue northeast to a dwarven megalithic monument. If you touch the stone
in the center you will get memories of grieving dwarves then you will be
transported to the Deep Halls. Let’s avoid that for now.

Event 25: Clearing out the area around the Dwarven Megalith
Enemies: 3 Ghasts, 3 Skeletons, Skeleton Knight, 9 Zombies, Ghoul, 2 Master
Shadows
Notes: This Event is a series of pointless confrontations with undead (thank
goodness most are vulnerable to Turn Undead to some degree). Head south from
the center of the Dwarven Megalith and go through an iron door into a room with
2 Ghasts. These are much harder to defeat then Ghouls, but currently they are
in cages that are hard for them to maneuver around; initiate battle and block
the door to the room(to deal with them one at a time) while casting spells on
them (I used one charge of the magic missile wand to make things easier by
taking one out quickly). From the chests in this room (Rogue may have tough
time opening poison chest so use Neutralize potion) you acquire a variety of
items including an Idolon, a small stone head. For now you will simply have to
collect these heads and hold onto them. Later in the game you will discover a
Giant Stone Head that exchanges these Idolons for rings with special
properties. Exit the room and go north past the megalith and you will encounter
a small army of Undead, 3 Skeletons and a Skeleton Knight. Afterward search the
battle area to find a shield and halberd. Go to the extreme eastern corner of
the battle area (near the halberd) and go through the wooden door there. In
this room 3 Zombies are blocked by a row of tables, (and 3 more in the room
next door) you can either use ranged/magic attacks or break a table and attack
directly, eventually you will have to go through to get to the remaining
Zombies. In the northwest room are two bookshelves with 2 magic scrolls on
them. There is also a coffin in this room with two longswords in it. Go back to
the room with three tables and head through northwest door. 2 Ghouls here can
be blocked at the door and defeated. The well in this room has several items in
it. Exit back to where you found the Halberd and go northwest following the
northeast wall until you find a fancy barrel, take the Restoration potion
inside. Northwest of the barrel is another poison well, avoid it. Go southwest
and you will encounter a Ghoul and a Ghast out in the open, defeat them and
head continue southwest. You will find two open chests, but if you close them
and open them again you can get a couple of items. Head northeast, take next
turn to southeast, take next turn southwest, you are in a brief wide hall with
an iron door to the south, go through that door. You receive a message about an
Alhoon holding court. On the table is a blunted dagger that can be useful for
mages. The well in the western corner contains gold. Sleep and cast defensive
spells. Exit the room and head west to another set of iron doors. Open them and
an ambush occurs, 3 Zombies and a Master Shadow (another stat draining beast,
this one is harder to hit and requires magic to defeat; I used one charge of
the Winter Blade wielded by my Rogue to defeat this creature; the Zombies
should be easy for you now). There are two chests, the right one contains gold,
the left one has a fireball trap (be very careful disarming with Rogue; keep
party back; may want to save/load to get through with a save roll). The
Fireball chest contains a great pair of boots for your Cleric and a couple of
scrolls. Exit back to the center pillar of the Dwarven Megalith and this time
bear east to find a double door flanked by two dwarven statues; make sure you
are well rested then go through. Head toward the 3 spikes and you will discover
a secret door behind them. Press on the middle spike to lower it and trigger a
Master Shadow ambush (I used 2 charges of the Cone of Cold wand to dispatch
it).  Go through the secret door, past the curving obelisks and use the Ancient
Rusted Iron Key to open the next door by Left-Clicking on it. In this room is a
single Ghast to be defeated, pick up the dwarven ceremonial staff and read the
note. From the shelf behind the staff you can pick up gems.
Acquire: From the 2 Ghouls room, 2 Idolons, 2 Cleric’s Scrolls of Heal level
20, 2 Cleric’s Scrolls of Harm Level 20. From the small army of undead area,
Halberd, and Shield of Protection +2 AC, +1 saving throws. From the
bookshelves, Sorcerer's Scroll of Web level 10, Sorcerer's Scroll of Stinking
Cloud level 15 (I gave both to Jarial). From the coffin 2 Longswords. From the
well, Ring of +1 Int (I gave to Rogue), Longspear +1 hit/damage, and Ringmail
+4 AC (I gave to Cleric). From fancy barrel Restoration potion Level 15. From
the two open chests, Greataxe -1 hit/damage and Large Shield. From the Alhoon
room Dagger +5 AC, -2 hit/damage (I gave this to my first Sorcerer for the AC
bonus). From the Master Shadow room Boots of Wisdom +3 (gave to Cleric), and 2
scrolls of Cure Critical Wounds Level 15 (kept for Cleric). From the Ancient
Rusted Iron Key room, Dwarven Ceremonial Staff +2 AC, +1 hit/damage vs.
Orcs/Orogs (I gave this to Jarial, for the AC bonus).
Go: Sleep and cast defensive spells then go down the steps.

Event 26: Dwarven Tomb and Serpent’s Ring (DEEP HALLS MAP)
Enemies: 5 Ghouls, 4 Skeletons, 4 Zombies, Wraith
Notes: At bottom of steps go through southern door, defeat 3 Ghouls in the next
room and pick up the pile of gold they drop. Go northwest to an area filled
with coffins, then approach the door southwest and a battle against 2 Skeletons
and 2 Zombies begins. Afterward go west of the circle of spikes (incidentally
this is the area you are transported to if you touch the statue in the center
of the dwarven megalith). Eventually you will encounter 2 Zombies and 3 Ghouls
amidst a pile of coffins. Defeat them, take the gold they drop, go back and
sleep/cast defensive spells and then go through the eastern door on the
northern wall (area above the most recent battle). Here are 2 Skeletons and a
Wraith (I used conventional tactics to defeat so as to save the magic items).
Pick up the scrolls dropped by the Wraith, open the northwest chest to get the
Serpent’s Ring.
Acquire: From Wraith ,Cleric’s Scroll of Spiritual Weapon Level 5; Sorcerer's
Scroll of Chill Touch Level 5; Serpent’s Ring damage +3, Spell Resistance -4 (I
don’t like using this).
Go: Exit back to the Main Halls, Ancient Rusted Iron Key room. You have now
explored the entire southern portion of the Main Halls. Return to the Orc
Prison north of Bedlam Prison. From there head west (past the Ormyrr room),
southwest down the first hall you come across, then make a quick turn northwest
and keep going to you find a door on the northwest wall, go through.

Event 27: Captain Mol (MAIN HALLS MAP)
Enemies: 10 Zombies, 2 Skeletons, A Ghoul, 13 Orcs, 5 Orc Leaders, Captain Mol,
Mol’s Shaman, Orc Shaman
Notes: Pass through a hall filled with empty ruined bookshelves, at the end you
enter a hall once “filled with light and song”. Go north and kill 4 Zombies.
From the 3 smashed tables go west to pick up a pile with 1 gold. Head west of
that to get another 1 gold. Head northeast until you arrive at a hall bearing
north, proceed down this hall a very short distance and then take the hall west
and go through the wooden door on the southwest side of the hall, there a 4
Zombies to defeat in this room. Afterward exit the room and head for the
northeast hall, take the next hall northwest, at the end of the hall is an
empty well, go through the door west of the well, you will be engaged in a wide
ranging battle against 2 Zombies 2 Skeletons and a Ghoul, after the battle they
drop a small pile of gold. Pick up the gold and head northeast until you see 4
barrels, enter the doors northeast of the barrels and you get a message about
an unbearable stench, on the floor is a note saying “Mol has killed us all!” Go
through the southeast door and destroy the first partition east of the door. Go
through the door beyond the partition and fight 4 Orcs. Enter the room
southwest of the 4 Orc battle and you will see a chest that needs the Hidden
Key. Exit the room and head through the narrow passage south (there are two
bookshelves here with 2 Shortbows and a Quiver of Arrows. Continue south to a
fountain (casts Cat’s Grace, which provides dexterity bonus) and prepare for
battle. From the hall south of the fountain a group of six Orcs (some with
bows) will approach, you will need to get your melee fighters close to the
shooters. After the battle head east from the fountain and go through the
double doors on the southern wall of the alcove. There are two Orcs and an Orc
Leader here, kill them and proceed through the open door southwest, then go
stand to the right of the double doors beyond. In the next room is the Orc
Captain Mol and his Shaman as well as two more Orc leaders. The strategy I used
to defeat them was to stand away from the door to avoid their fire, then I used
the Wand of Cone of Cold once (fired into the room), this killed them all in
one shot. Mol drops his mace and you can pick it up. There is a good deal of
treasure in this room, take what you like but be sure you have the Undead Cell
Key before you leave. Go through next two southeast doors. In the hall of stone
partitions you will have to defeat an Orc, 2 Orc leaders and an Orc Shaman, try
to do this conventionally to save your magic items but if you have trouble try
a blast of Cone of Cold to clear the room. After the battle they drop the
Hidden Chest Key and a Massive Club. Head northwest to an iron door and open it
with the Undead Cell Key, in here are a pair of Magician’s boots and a couple
of swords. Now head back to the room with the hidden chest and open it. Take
its contents.
Acquire: From 2 bookshelves, 2 Shortbows and a Quiver of Arrows +1 hit/damage
(I gave to Rogue). From Mol’s room, the Orcish Lead mace -2 hit, +6 damage, 2
Chain Shirts +4 AC apiece, Quiver of Arrows +2 hit/damage (gave to Rogue),
Longbow +2 (kept for Paladin), Ring of Cone of Cold level 15, 2 charges, -2 AC
(kept for Jarial), Undead Cell Key. From the hall of stone partitions, Hidden
Chest Key and Massive Club +3 hit/damage, double damage. From the undead cell
Magician’s Boots, +2 Cha/Dex (Gave to Jarial), 2 shortswords. From the hidden
chest 2 Bucklers +1 AC, Wand of Charm Monster Level 10, 4 charges.
Go: Head back to the yellow marker on the Grand Thoroughfare (via Tirgild
Square).

EVENT 28: Halls of Zud (MAIN HALLS MAP)
Quest Notes: In this event you have chance to kill Zud and finish the Fist of
Zud Quest.
Enemies: 15 Orcs, 2 Ghouls, a Ghast, 2 Orc Witch Doctors, Zud, 2 Orc Leaders
Notes:  Approach and listen at the door across the hall to the northwest of the
yellow marker. In the first room are 3 Orcs to be defeated, also note that
there are 3 more in the room next door who may be triggered during your battle
but who will have to be defeated anyway. Exit these to rooms to the north and
you will come to a clearing where four walls come toward one another from the
corners of the screen, here you will hear Orcs speaking in the distance. Go up
the northwest hall and enter first room on southwest wall, there are 3 Orcs
here to defeat, pick up the gold they drop and go through the southwest door;
defeat 3 more Orcs, take the gold they drop, go back through previous room,
continue northwest down hall and enter next room on southwest wall. There are 3
Orcs here to defeat. Go to the southwest of the room and you receive a message
about a ghostly giggle. Approach the southwest brown brick wall and search it
to find a secret door, go through. In this room disturb the two coffins to
trigger two Ghouls, defeat them then search the brown brick area on the wall to
the northwest to uncover another hidden door. Go through and you will trigger a
Ghast, defeat it, then use the Ancient Dwarven Chest Key on the chest in this
room and take the Pale Blue Key and the treasure in front of the chest. Take
the daggers from the coffin in this room then head back to the last room where
you defeated 3 Orcs (as you exit you receive a message about the ghost of
Floribud). Sleep here, cast defensive spells; have Sorcerers equip wands: Cone
of Cold, Melf’s Acid Arrow. Exit and go northwest until you reach a very large
wall. Head northeast and eventually you will encounter Zud and two Orc Witch
Doctors. The strategy I used was to have 1 mage use the Cone of Cold wand to
hit the western Witch Doctor and Zud, while the other mage cast Melf’s acid
arrow (does some damage each round) on the other. Then I used the fighters to
clean up. The witch doctors hold spell can be countered with the Remove
Paralysis scrolls. Make sure that your characters are conscious by the end of
the battle so that they get the experience for killing Zud. At the end of the
battle you get the Crude Pot Metal Key. One of the Orc Witch Doctors drops a
bag of magical supplies you should plunder. Open 5 chests on the north wall to
get gold. Follow the wall running southeast from the 5 chests and search the
first patch of dark brown bricks you come across to find a secret door. Have
your Rogue opened the trapped door, go through and then go through the door
southeast. In this room are two chests, each containing a shield.
Acquire: From the room with the Ghast, Pale Blue Key, 2 level 10 Potions of
Restoration, Great Warhammer of Death +2 hit/damage, +5 hit/damage vs. undead
(I Gave this to the Paladin); 2 Ceremonial Daggers +1 hit/damage, +2 hit/damage
vs. Orcs/Orogs. From Zud, Crude Pot Metal Key. From Orc Witch Doctor, Wand of
Chill Touch Level 15 with 3 charges; Wand of Healing Level 5 with 24 charges,
two potions of Neutralize Poison level 10. From the secret room chests 2 Large
Shields +2 AC.
Go: Exit to the center of Zud’s Hall, go south back to the 4 pillars
intersection,  go east to a spike, then northeast through a narrow hall and
enter the door first door on the southeast wall.

EVENT 29: Death’s Bane
Quest Notes: In this event you can retrieve Beriand’s Staff Death’s Bane and
return it to him to complete the Death’s Bane Quest.
Enemies: 3 Orc Leaders, 2 Orcs, Inglore and Onglore.
Notes: The well east of the door contains some gold, take it and go through the
southwest door, here are two bow wielding Orc Leaders. Dispatch them and go
southeast. At this point my Sorcerer went to level 3 and I gave her the Burning
Hands spell. Take the Scimitar dropped by the Orc Leaders and enter the room
southeast. There are two chests here, use the Crude Pot Metal Key on one to get
Death’s Bane, Beriand’s Staff. In the other chest are a couple of healing
potions, a scroll and some gauntlets, take them. Head back to eastern hall with
the spike, and this time go southeast, then northeast at the narrow area near a
corner pillar. Continue northeast from the narrow space and you come to some
ruined walls where 2 Orcs and an Orc Leader (with bow) are loitering, attack
them. The Orc Leader drops a War Hammer, take it then go northwest to a hall
with several thin pillars running down its middle, the door on the northeast
wall requires the Iron Key. Continue northwest to find the Iron Key lying on
the ground, take it then come back and open the locked door. This room contains
two mean Ghast-like creatures Inglore and Onglore (kind of tall for undead
dwarves), they are easy to kill with conventional tactics. The snake head
fountain northwest of the door contains some gold. The coffins contain two
valuable amulets, take them. Return to Stillwater via the Keys of Living/Dead
Room, remember not to travel the surface at night. Go to Beriand and give him
his staff Death’s Bane, you can speak to him a bit more before continuing. The
500 experience from this Quest brought my Cleric and Paladin to Level 3. Take a
look at the Cleric’s new spells. She can now Remove Paralysis, and she has a
stronger Cure spell. Aid grants an HP and morale boost and is good for your
melee fighters, Bull’s Strength grants a Str bonus that improves attack
capability. You may want to add these to your repertoire of defensive spells
that you cast before battle. Also note that your Cleric can cast Spiritual
Weapon for distance attacks in battle, try it some time. Before reentering the
dungeons you may want to sell excess supplies to Nottle.
Acquire: From the two Orc leaders, Scimitar +1 hit/damage. From Crude Metal Pot
Key room chests, Death’s Bane (Quest Item), 2 potions of Cure Serious Wounds
level 15, Sorcerer's Scroll of Bull’s Strength Level 15 (can increase strength,
which helps in battle) and Gauntlets of +1 Dex (I gave to Rogue). From Orc
Leader, Great War Hammer +1. From the coffins, Amulet of Onglore +2 Str/Con (I
gave to Cleric, then gave her con +1 Amulet to Jarial); Amulet of +2 Str (Gave
to Rogue).
Go: Back to yellow marker in grand thoroughfare, head east.

Event 30: Northern Main Hall,  Healing Fountain, Miner’s Equipment
Enemies: 2 Zombies, 10 Orcs, 4 Skeletons, 2 Skeleton Knights, 2 Ancient
Zombies, Skeleton Lord, Ghoul.
Notes: East from the yellow marker you will encounter 2 Zombies, kill them and
continue east. When you receive a message about torn down and rebuilt walls go
southeast. At the next intersection go northeast. At the end of the hall go
through the narrow alley northwest, you will find two kegs, one casts Cat’s
Grace (dexterity bonus), the other casts Bull’s Strength (strength bonus).
These barrels have many charges so spread their benefits around. Exit the alley
and go through the northeast hall, enter the first door on the eastern side of
the hall, you will be ambushed by 5 Orcs, some with bows, defeat them. Open the
chest to the left of the door to get a couple of weapons. Exit to the hall and
continue northeast, at the intersection you receive a message about yet another
library. Wait here and you will be set upon by 5 Orcs, defeat them and examine
the bookcase by three square tables in this hall to get a couple magic items.
Go through the northeast hall past three circular tables. You will have to walk
around some pillars lined up across the hall, but these do not block your path
even if they appear to do so. You will encounter and have to defeat 2 Skeletons
and a Skeleton Knight on the other side. Follow the line of short pillars
southeast, then enter the open door south, you receive a message that someone
lives here but has been gone for a few days. Go through the northeast door, on
a bookcase on the east side of the room are some arrows, bows and swords, take
what you need then exit back to the hall with the short pillars and go
northeast. Take the next hall south east, here you will have to defeat 2
Skeletons and a Skeleton Knight. Pick up the gold piece and continue southeast,
take GP from the well, pick up another GP on the other side and another east of
that. At the next intersection do not continue down the hall of gold, instead
go northeast (if you have to, go back and rest/cast defensive spells before
continuing). You are now in a long hall filled with more than a dozen pillars
and a series of arches. Head for the southeast corner of this long hall and you
will get a message about finding old armor that belonged to a derro. Have your
Rogue approach the brown brick wall to discover a secret door. Inside this room
are some tough undead, 2 Ancient Zombies, a Skeleton Lord and a Ghoul, none are
vulnerable to Turn Undead. Try to block the door from the outside with your
melee fighters so you can deal with these Undead one or two at a time while
your Sorcerers weaken the inactive undead inside the room. Have your Sorcerers
cast magic missiles (note that your default Sorcerer can now cast it twice per
round). After the battle take the two small piles of gold in this room and try
out the healing fountain, this area is now a great place to recuperate. Have
your Rogue open the two steel reinforced chests. The right one has a cold trap,
the left a lightning trap, so have your party stand well away, take the double
damage Warhammer, as well as the great armor.
Acquire: Ambush Orcs chest, Greataxe, Warhammer. Library bookcase Wand of
Resurrection level 20 , 2 charges; potion of Neutralize Poison Level 10. Lived
in room bookcase, 2 Quivers of arrows +1 hit/damage (I gave to Rogue). 2
Shortbows, 2 Shortswords. From the healing fountain room chests, Miner’s Ward
of Invulnerability Shield, +2 AC, can cast 3 Level 15 globe of invulnerability
spells (great for battles with magic users, (I gave it to my Cleric); Miner’s
Greater Warhammer, does double damage (Gave to Paladin; I still keep Great
Warhammer of Death for battles with hard to kill Undead), Miner’s Burnished
Light Plate of Protection, +3 savings throws/initiative, +8 AC (Very Happy to
give to my Cleric to speed her up!).
Go: Back to the intersection of dropped gold hall.

Event 31: Whiff of Jasmine, Floribud’s Ghost
Enemies: 3 Orogs, 2 Skeletons, 3 Skeleton Knights, Ancient Zombie, 2 Shadows
Notes: Go down the gold hall picking up 17 pieces of gold. To the southwest is
a partition wall that looks sealed off but isn’t, simply click on the gold pile
behind the partition and your party will run towards it. This sets off a battle
with 3 Orogs who look strangely like Orc Ghouls, but they are not undead.
Luckily these Orogs have no bows so conventional tactics (melee fighters
forward, magic users back) will work just fine. Keep in mind they are tougher
to kill than Orcs and can deal out a bit more damage. Pick up 6 more pieces of
gold after the battle, then head to the southwest corner of the room and you
will find a chest with some fairly standard weapons. Take what you like then
exit the partitioned area and continue southeast. Go through the double doors
on the southeast hall, continue southeast, then bear south after the second
stone octagon on the ground. At the fallen square pillars go east to a wooden
door, open it and go through. Rest here then cast defensive spells, approach
the northeast door, arrange your Cleric and Paladin up front, then open it. In
this room is a Skeleton, a Skeleton Knight, an Ancient Zombie and a Shadow, the
first three are somewhat trapped behind three tables so try rushing the
Skeleton Knight to keep them all pinned down, if you get the chance. I found
all of them were vulnerable to Turn Undead, which made the battle very easy. Go
east from the door and you will hear the “crunch of dainty footsteps”, then you
will come under attack by a Shadow, a Skeleton and 2 Skeleton Knights, again
all are vulnerable to Turn Undead so they should be easy to kill. Head to the
northeast wall and enter the room with a yellow bed, search the bed to get the
Silver Key and an Orc Killer knife. Have your Rogue pick the lock on the chest
to the right of the bed (this action brought my Rogue to Level 4, I put her
stat point toward Dex). Inside the chest is a potion, the Pale Green Key and a
great set of armor. Take what you like then go through the northern door (to
the right of the chest). You have found another path to the surface of
Stillwater, you can return to Beriand and be healed. When you want to return to
this location select “Return to the mines of the Main Halls” after you
Left-Click on the cavern entrance you emerge from. Once back in the dungeons
use the Silver Key to unlock the southeast door, two fancy barrels in this room
each contain a special ring, take the rings then exit to the hall where you
fought the two Shadows and go to its southeast corner. Enter the door on the
northeast wall using the Pale Green Key, as you enter the room you receive a
message about the rich smells of the earth, you will need the Pale Blue Key to
open this door, but first search the two barrels on the left, each contains a
stat enhancing ring, take both. Now go through the northeast door using the
Pale Blue Key. The bookcase in the back of this room contains Wand of Fireball,
take it. Now take a look at the Fountain of the Earth, it bestows +4
Constitution to the party member you choose to drink from it, but it also takes
two points of charisma and 1 point of dexterity (don’t give to a Sorcerer
because they need Charisma; I gave it to my Paladin).
Acquire: From Orog’s Chest, Longbow, Longsword, Chainmail, Club +4 hit/damage.
From the yellow bed, the Silver Key and Orc Killer Dagger +1 hit/damage vs.
Orcs and Orogs. From the chest to the right of the bed, Pale Green Key, potion
of Bull’s Strength, Ringmail of Protection +4 saving throws/AC (I gave this to
my Paladin). Silver Key barrels, Ring of +1 Wisdom (I gave to Paladin), Ring of
+1 Strength (I gave to Jarial because the melee fighters had better bonuses
already).  From the Pale Green Key Barrels, Ring of +1 Cha (replaced ring of
protection for first Sorcerer),  Ring of +1 Int (gave to Cleric). From bookcase
near fountain of Earth, Level 10 Fireball Wand with 1 charge (gave to Jarial).
Go: Back to the well flanked by 4 torches (room before the recent 2 shadows
battle).

Event 32: The Abandoned Quarry
Enemies: 11 Zombies, 6 Skeletons, 3 Ghouls, Skeleton Knight, Zombie Lord, 2
Master Shadows.
Notes: Enter the door northwest of the 4 torches well, defeat 4 Zombies on the
other side. Head northeast and you will have to fight 2 Skeletons and 2 Ghouls.
Continue northeast and go through the wooden double doors you receive a message
about an abandoned quarry, then you must defeat 3 Skeletons and a Skeleton
Knight. Head northeast and you will encounter a Zombie and a Zombie Lord (not
vulnerable to Turn Undead currently but still pretty easy to kill). Enter the
room northwest and defeat 3 Zombies, then pick up the four small piles of gold
on the floor. Enter the northeast room and defeat a Zombie and a Ghoul, they
drop a ring, there is a treasure sack here to plunder. Go through the door
south of serpent fountain and you can quickly defeat 2 Zombies and a Skeleton;
take the two small gold piles in this room, then break the bed in front of the
northwest door, then enter the door; you receive a message about cleaning
house. Approach the dead body in the northeast corner of this room to get a
pair of enchanted boots; this corpse is Ozama, Jarial’s lover. Approach the
darkened door with the serpent glyph and speak to the voice. If you ask about
the prisoner you will learn a little about Preybelish and his interest in your
amulets; he tells you to return later. Go to the southwest corner of the room;
you can get a scroll and 2 potions in the barrels there. Go through the double
doors north of the barrels to the bunk bed room, then go through the open door
northeast and you receive an message about the unnatural cleanliness of the
room with a fountain and well. The well has a special ability, should one of
your team activate it, it will grant 1,000 exp to each member of your party.
BUT it will drain all of that person’s hit points to 0 and take 1 wisdom away.
This action will also trigger an attack by a Master Shadow who is invulnerable
to Turn Undead. I think its worth it. Here is what I decided to do: I had my
Rogue take the wisdom loss from 11 to 10 pts, basically because everyone else
had either a very high wisdom(didn’t want to weaken) or a very low wisdom
(didn’t want to penalize further). Afterward I had the Cleric cast Cure
Moderate Wounds to revive the Rogue, then I fought the Master Shadow using
conventional tactics. After the battle Jarial went up to Level 4, I put his
stat bonus to Cha, and gave him Melf’s Acid Arrow, which can drain some HP
every round from an afflicted target. After this battle you can Left-Click on
the fountain to initiate another battle with a Master Shadow, it too can be
beaten conventionally, but don’t hesitate to use your magic wands if you are
really having trouble.
Acquire: From Zombie-Ghoul team room, Ring of Protection From Paralysis +1,
Wand of Neutralize Poison Level 10 with 4 charges, potion of Haste level 15.
From Ozama’s corpse, Snakeskin Boots +2 AC; vs. reptiles +2 hit/damage/+2 AC/
double damage (I gave them to my Paladin). From 2 fancy barrels, Scroll of
Remove Paralysis Level 15, 2 Restoration Potions Level 15.
Go: Sleep here and restore your characters if necessary, then head for the
darkened serpent glyph door; don’t get to close yet.

EVENT 33: Preybelish and the Wizard’s Torc
Quest Notes: Behind the Glyph of Gobtadan Door in the Quarry in the northern
Main Halls is a Dark Naga, Preybelish. As long as you have Onglore’s Amulet of
War or Kluusar’s Blood Stone Amulet you should be able to spark Preybelish’s
interest during your first conversation with him. During your second
conversation he will ask for one of the two amulets, which you should refuse in
order to get him to quickly emerge to fight you. Killing him and taking the
Torc completes the Sharpest Tooth Quest and advances The Stars Below Quest.
Enemies: Preybelish
Notes: (You may have to exit the quarry and then immediately come back in if
Preybelish does not speak to you as you approach). Stand slightly southwest of
the serpent glyph and have your Cleric use Miner’s Ward of Invulnerability (her

shield) to cast a Minor Globe of Invulnerability. Have a Sorcerer equipped with
the Wand of Cone of Cold approach the door (staying within the globe however)
and speak to Preybelish, he asks for your amulet. Tell him he can’t have the
amulet and he opens the door and attacks with lightning, which your party is
invulnerable to. Have your Sorcerer cast Cone of Cold twice into the center of
the darkness to slay Preybelish (you may have to use a couple magic missiles to
finish him off). When he dies the darkness lifts and you get the incomplete
Wizard’s Torc, enter his room and pick up a bag of amulets.
Acquire: From Preybelish’s/his room, Wizard's Torc, Amulet of Protection +2 AC
(Gave to first Sorcerer), Amulet of Protection from Paralysis +1, Medallion of
Defense +1 AC/saving throws, and Necklace of Protection +3 AC/saving throws
(gave to Rogue).
Go: Return to the well flanked by 4 torches near the entrance to the hall
before the Quarry. Exit southwest and go west to a pair of double doors, open
them and go through.

Event 34: Clearing the Undead from around The Crossroads
Enemies: 14 Zombies, Zombie Lord, 10 Skeletons, 3 Skeleton Knights, 3 Ghouls.
Notes: Go southwest past the well and through the wooden double doors. (Note
the door east of the well; this is the entrance to an area where a scarred mage
guards the steps to the Deep Halls and the Halls of Stone, we will return here
later so mark it on your map). Head southwest to a yellow marker that a message
describes as the crossroads. 2 Zombies patrol this area so watch for them and
defeat them. Head down the southeast hall, take next hall southwest. In the
room northwest is a block that repeatedly casts a fire spell. Walk
counterclockwise around the block and get your party gathered north of it, then
carefully initiate combat with the Zombie Lord on the other side of the block.
During the battle let him come to you and be sure not to get anywhere near that
block. Afterward have your Rogue go alone and open the chest the Zombie Lord
was guarding, this will probably trigger a fireball. Take the weapons inside,
exit the room being careful to avoid the block and return to the Crossroads. Go
west and defeat 2 more Zombies in front of some ruins, head south and defeat 2
more Zombies. See that door directly south? Keep it in mind or mark it on your
map because we will soon return to it. From this point it will be hard to
navigate through the ruins west of the Crossroads; try to keep the few
discernable landmarks in mind; most of these undead are vulnerable to Turn
Undead.  Head northwest, go through a square arch and continue northwest. A
Ghoul will approach, defeat him then continue northwest and you will encounter
2 Zombies, defeat them and go northeast through two massive square pillars;
defeat 3 Zombies near a burning bookcase east. Go north across the grand
thoroughfare and defeat 3 Skeletons and 2 Skeleton Knights. Head northwest to a
burning bed and defeat 4 Skeletons. Head west to a ruin with a pile of gold on
the floor, destroy the Skeleton Knight and the Zombie and pick up the gold.
This area is now clear, head back to the door south of the burning bookcase (we
spotted it just before we searched the ruins). Go through the door and defeat 3
Skeletons and 2 Zombies. The giant Keg right of the door you just entered casts
heal on those who touch it. Head southwest to a circle of pillars, head
southeast past a narrow hall and take the next hall northeast past three empty
chests. Eventually you will see a set of double doors on a wall to the
northwest, they are locked so have your Rogue open them. Pick up the small
amount of gold in this room and go through northeast wooden door. As you pass
through these rooms you will receive morbid messages about the creatures who
died in them. In this room there is a shortbow; go through the northeast door.
Pick up gold piece above Lizardfolk and go through southeast door. Pick up gold
piece and a Hold person scroll in this room. Go through the northeast door and
pick up another gold piece, continue through next northeast door. In room of
lazy Skeletons go through northwest door, you will see a slightly brighter
bookcase on the northeast wall, take two potions there. Click to walk on the
area west behind the partitions and columns and approach the Lizardfolk, listen
to it. Destroy two Ghouls that wander in from the room northeast, then take the
gold they drop and enter that room. In the far eastern corner of the room is a
fancy barrel with some magic items, take them, then take the treasure lying on
the floor.
Acquire: From the burning block room, Staff of Level 15 Harm, 5 charges, +3
hit/damage; Great Sword of Fire +1 hit/damage, casts 4 level 5 Burning Hands.
From dead bodies rooms, shortbow, Scroll of Hold Person Level 20 (for
Sorcerer), Potion of Heal Level 20, salve of Remove Paralysis level 20. From
fancy barrel in 2 Ghouls room, Wand of Resurrection Level 20 with 2 charges,
potion of Neutralize Poison level 10. From 2 Ghouls room floor Ghoul Stopper
amulet +4 AC vs. undead, Handaxe +3 hit/damage, Large Shield +2 AC.
Go: Remember the narrow southwest hall west of the 3 empty chests in the hall
with the giant healing keg? Head back there and go down that hall.

Event 35: Lizardfolk Hideaway
Enemies: 4 Lizardfolk, 2 Lizardfolk Leaders, Lizardfolk Shaman, Lizardfolk
Chief.
Notes: At the end of the narrow hall bear west to an area with two wooden
doors, go through the one southwest; the chest in this room contains 3
Shortswords. Enter the room northwest and you will find another giant healing
keg. Go through the door northeast, on a bookcase in this room is a scroll;
have the Rogue open the poison-trapped chest in here to get some boots and
armor. Exit through the door southeast,  go to the wall south and head west.
You will see a narrowing space and two stone partitions beyond it, click on the
stone partition to have your characters maneuver through the narrow space and
break down the partition to enter a concealed area. Continue west and you will
encounter two Lizardfolk, they are very easy to kill with the help of Ozama’s
Snakeskin Boots. You will find two potions on the bookcase west of the door the
Lizardfolk were guarding. Go through this door and kill two more Lizardfolk. Go
through the northwest door; there are two Lizardfolk Leaders inside, rush them
and use conventional tactics to dispose of them quickly. Hide your characters
left of the next northwest doors, then open them; this is to avoid the spells
of the Lizardfolk Shaman and Lizardfolk Chief inside. Let them come to the door
then get up close to them with your melee fighters and attack. These Lizardfolk
are vulnerable to most offensive magic spells and should be no problem. Pick up
the Brass “L” Key the chief drops. Open the southern chest on the western wall
with the “L” Key, take the “R” key inside, use it to open the next chest; take
what you like from both.
Acquire: From first chest encountered in this event, 3 Shortswords. First
bookcase Scroll of Bull’s Strength Level 10, (for Sorcerer). From second chest,
Studded leather armor +3 AC, Boots of Health +2AC, +1 Con (I gave the boots to
my Rogue). From bookcase northwest of the Lizardfolk guards, salve of Remove
Paralysis Level 20, Potion of Neutralize Poison level 10. From Lizardfolk
Chief’s room, “L” Key, “R” Key, Great Sword +2 hit/damage, Large Shield +2,
Great Axe +2 hit/damage, potion of Neutralize Poison level 10.
Go: Back through the stone partitions, through the narrow hall, past the giant
Keg of Healing and to the Crossroads.

EVENT 36: The Scarred Mage; Undead Awakened
Quest Notes: In this area you will find the Scarred Mage who guards the stairs
that lead to the Upper Halls. Defeating him completes the Undead Awakened
Quest.
Enemies: 2 Ghouls, 2 Orc Ghouls, 2 Lizardfolk Ghouls, 5 Skeleton Knights, 4
Skeleton Lords, Shadow, 2 Skeleton Elders, 3 Zombies, 3 Ancient Zombies,
Skeleton, and Ozbort the Lovesick Scarred Mage.
Notes:  From the Crossroads, go back up the northeast hall to the closed wooden
double doors next to the well we spotted {and hopefully marked on our maps}
earlier (this is two rooms southwest of the room with the well flanked by 4
torches, which is the entrance to the Quarry). Now open this door, a ghostly
form bows to you then disappears. Take the hall south of the burning bed, head
southeast through the next hall and at the end of it you will come across a
battle between 2 Ghouls, 2 Orc Ghouls and 2 Lizardfolk Ghouls; they are
susceptible to Turn Undead and so are easy to kill. Exit this room and take the
hall next to it that runs northeast. Nearby two chests there are 3 Skeleton
Knights and a Skeleton Lord to be defeated. Smash the two chests (the locks
cannot be picked and will drain stats so keep a Restore Potion handy) to
release a Shadow that is vulnerable to Turn Undead. Defeat the Shadow and take
the treasure from the chests. Head down the southeastern hall, enter the
southwestern room and take large pile of gold (you can rest here), then go
across the hall to the opposite room. There is a Skeleton Lord, Skeleton Elder,
Zombie and Ancient Zombie in this room, you may want to block the door with
your melee fighters and deal with the undead one or two at a time. Exit the
room and continue southeast, then take the next turn southwest and you will
encounter an army of undead;  2 Skeleton Lords, 2 Skeleton Knights, a Skeleton
and a Skeleton Elder. All but the Skeleton Lords are vulnerable to Turn Undead
so concentrate on destroying them first. This battle brought my first Sorcerer
to Level 4, I improved her Cha and gave her Melf’s Acid Arrow. Afterward return
to the room where you can rest and sleep, power-up then head for the door the
undead army was guarding. Behind this door is the Scarred Mage and his undead
guards: 2 Zombies and 2 Ancient Zombies. I defeated him by standing northeast
of the door (out of the line of sight) when I opened it to prevent him from
using his Fireball Spell and to lure him closer. The undead are easy to defeat
as the wander out to confront you (they are all vulnerable to Turn Undead).
Once he is close enough have a couple melee fighters run up next to him to
prevent him from casting spells; together they should make short work of him
and you wont have to waste any charges of your magic items. After the battle
the Scarred Mage (Ozbort) clutches a letter from a loved one from which you
will learn that the Scarred Ones are actually the Cult of the Dragon, allies of
evil dragons who lot to conquer Faerun. Sift through the Mage’s worthless items
then go to the southeast corner of the room, then enter the door on the
northeast wall. You have crossed the expanse of the Main Halls, stairs lead up
and Stairs lead down. By the way, if you have followed this Walkthrough up to
this point then you have discovered everything the Main Halls have to offer.
Acquire: From stat draining chests, Boots of Withering Beauty +4 Cha, -1
Con/Str (gave to first Sorcerer); Ring of Brute Strength +3 Str, -2 Wis, -1
Int. Ozbort’s possessions, 3 Level 20 potions of Cure Critical Wounds, a
Sorcerers Scroll of Invisibility Level 15, Dagger, and a Note about Lady
Mordrayn’s need for more space.
Go: Rest, then go down the steps.

EVENT 37: Finding Garras (DEEP HALLS MAP)
Quest Notes: Finding and composing the remains of the Elf Garras will win you
help in defeating the Lifespring Guardian. This is the second part of the
Turgild Lifespring Quest.
Enemies: (Almost all are susceptible to Turn Undead so use it ASAP in each
battle and keep your Paladin armed with the Great Warhammer of Death): 17
Ancient Zombies, 13 Ghouls, 2 Wraiths, 2 Zombies, 6 Ghasts.
Notes: At the bottom of the stairs is a room filled with short spikes, you will
have to return here to find a safe place to sleep during the early part of this
event. Exit the room, take the hall south of the door, it runs west. Soon you
arrive at a Huge Well atop a stone X pattern on the floor, head south. Amidst a
ruin filled with coffins you will enter a wide ranging battle with 4 Ancient
Zombies, defeat them. This battle brought my Paladin to Level 4. I gave him a
Strength point. Take the gold they drop and continue south to an open wooden
door. In this room are 3 Ancient Zombies and 2 Ghouls, defeat them and take the
gold they drop. Exit the room through the southeast door; here is a good place
to rest. Exit the northeast door, head down the hall and take the next
southeast hall. Open the door on the northeast wall of this hall. Here is a
potentially tough battle with 2 Wraiths and 2 Zombies. I used one charge of the
Wand of Cone of Cold, then one hit apiece for each Wraith with the Great
Warhammer of Death wielded by my Paladin finished them off before they landed a
successful blow. This brought my Cleric to Level 4, I gave her 1 point of
Wisdom. In this room is an Idolon and some gems on the floor, as well as a
magic Shield in the chest. Exit the room and continue down the southeast hall.
At next hall bear southwest, at the end of the hall go through the wooden door
southeast. There are 4 Ghouls and a Ghast in this room. They have a tendency to
try and exit the room through the southeast door prolonging the battle, so try
to stop them by quickly using Turn Undead (only the Ghast can resist at this
level so concentrate on destroying it first). After the battle Left-Click on
the coffin. The remains of the Elf Garras have been desecrated, compose them as
best you can, Garras’ Ghost appears and offers to help you put to rest the Life
Spring Guardian; this is the aid the ghost Elena spoke of in Turgild Square (he
will provide wonderful assistance later!). Rest, then exit the room through the
southeast door; head south to some ruins and defeat 3 Ancient Zombies, a Ghoul
and a Ghast. Take the gold they drop and continue south, defeat 2 Ghasts and 3
Ghouls in the southern corner of this area, take the potion they drop. Go
through the southeast door, in this room is the Sturdy Door, which will be
opened later in the game. Rest here, exit the room go northeast until you
encounter another wide ranging battle with undead in the ruins;  3 Ghouls, 3
Ancient Zombies. Defeat them and take the gold they drop. Go north until you
encounter 4 more Ancient Zombies, defeat them and take their gold. Defeat them
and go north to fight 2 Ghasts. See the large stone arch and thick square
pillars flanking it (to the right of the Ghasts Battle)? Remember this spot, it
marks the division between the northern/eastern and southern/western Deep
Halls, mark it on your map so you can return soon.
Acquire: From 2 Wraiths room Idolon, Gems, Runic Shield with Lesser Chance of
Spell Failure +2 AC. From the group of undead before the Sturdy Door, potion of
Cure Serious Wounds Level 15.
Go: North through the boundary gate until you see an open doorway, go through
it to the northeast and you should recognize where you are and be able to find
your way back north to the Huge X Well, the first landmark you spotted in the
Deep Halls.

EVENT 38: Defeating the Lifespring Guardian
Quest Notes: Using the help of the elf ghost Garras, defeat the Lifespring
Guardian in the hall behind the Glyph of Enigma in the northern Deep Halls.
Return to and touch the 4 Turgild Square Wells to complete the Lifespring
Guardian Quest.
Enemies: 4 Ghouls, 2 Ancient Zombies, 2 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, 2 Lizardfolk
Healers
Notes: From the Huge X Well go north until you encounter 2 Ancient Zombies and
4 Ghouls, defeat them, take their gold, then head up the northeast hall they
guarded. The two southwest rooms of this hall are good for sleeping in but not
much else. At the end of the hall go east to the poison-trap metal double doors
and have your Rogue open them. BOLDLY go northwest, you will see Lizardfolk
coming your way; don’t hesitate, just keep walking toward them to get the
element of surprise or at least a fair battle; if you stand still and let them
approach they will ambush you. The enemy party consists of 2 Lizardfolk
Taskmasters (they cast double magic missiles and are good fighters), 1
Lizardfolk Healer and a Lizardfolk Faith Healer (the first can cast Hold {to
paralyze its target} and both can heal their party members). These Lizardfolk
are much harder to deal with then the ones in the Main Hall; however they are
likely to run away if injured. Have your melee fighters get close fast to stop
the Lizardfolk spells. Make sure your Paladin equips his double damage War
Hammer and Snakeskin boots (with these two together he can take out almost any
Lizardfolk in one hit!) Your Cleric’s silence spell may stop their spell
casters so try it, but don’t get your own casters to close to those who have
been silenced. After the battle go northeast and you will find the Glyph of
Enigma, which can be opened with Elena’s Echoing Word; head through this door,
then go through the two northeastern doors beyond. In a massive hall you will
find Garras and the Lifespring Guardian. Keep your people back until Garras is
attacked, then bring your melee fighters forward to give what help they can.
Let Garras take the damage and do most of the work; keep in mind magic will not
harm the guardian. You will get 500 extra experience for each party member
after the Guardian is defeated. Return to Tirgild Square in the Main Halls.
Approach and touch each of the 4 wells in the square, 3 grant a one time stat
bonus each; the Well of Wisdom grants +1 Wisdom (I gave to Cleric), the Well of
Beauty +1 Charisma (I gave to Jarial), the Well of Endurance +1 Constitution (I
gave to Paladin), and the Well of Rest heals and restores everyone who drinks
from it. Visiting the Turgild Square Wells completes the Lifespring Guardian
Quest.
Go: Back to the Glyph of Enigma and head west.

Event 39: Finding the Lizardfolk Tunnel
Enemies: 3 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 8 Lizardfolk
Healers, 3 Injured Lizardfolk, Lizardfolk Warrior, Lizardfolk Faith Healer.
Notes: Heading west, you can open the first closed wooden door in the north
side of the hall to defeat a trap and gain experience, but their is nothing in
the room. Approach the open wooden door on the north wall from its right side,
without exposing your characters. This sets off a confrontation with a
Lizardfolk Taskmaster, 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers and a Lizardfolk Healer. Keep in
mind the spell casting abilities of the Healer and Taskmaster; let the
Lizardfolk come out to you and defeat them one at a time. I found a way to
confound the enemy was to shut the door while some are inside to cause them to
bunch up by the door and slowdown their exit to the hall, giving more magic
free rounds for my Paladin to do the heavy work. Silence, Magic Missile and
Melf’s Acid Arrow (can be used to possibly disrupt enemy spell casters through
continuous damage) will work fine here. After the battle you can rest in the
room, then exit and continue west down the hall. Soon you will enter some ruins
where 3 Injured Lizardfolk and a Lizardfolk Healer stand around a well of fire;
these will be easier to defeat then the first groups you met on this level.
From here head south and you will encounter a tough group made up of a
Lizardfolk Taskmaster and 4 Lizardfolk Healers. With Kluusar’s Amulet, your
Paladin should be able to resist the Hold spell of the Healers and keep
fighting no matter what (use Cleric’s Remove Paralysis spell on others if
necessary). Pick up the magic items they drop and go southwest; eventually you
will spot a few Lizardfolk behind a stone wall northeast amidst some ruins. If
you approach them from this side of the wall you only have to reveal one party
member to trigger a battle, then they will have to take the long way round to
get to you, allowing you to defeat them a couple at a time with conventional
tactics. Defeat 2 Lizardfolk Healers, a Lizardfolk Warrior (slightly tougher
than Scavengers but have no magic), a Lizardfolk Faith Healer and a Lizardfolk
Taskmaster. (This battle brought my Rogue to Level 5). Take the Soot-Coated Key
and the healing potion they drop.
Acquire: From the 4 Healer party, Sorcerer's Scroll of Shield level 5 and salve
of Cure Serious Wounds Level 20. From the Lizardfolk Warrior Party,
Soot-Covered Key and potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20.
Go: Head for the wooden door to the south and enter a room with a staircase
leading down. Rest here then go down the steps to enter the Lizardfolk Tunnel.

Event 40: Exploring the Lizardfolk Tunnel (LIZARDFOLK TUNNEL MAP)
Enemies: 4 Lizardfolk Warriors, 4 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 3 Lizardfolk Healers,
Notes: At the bottom of the steps go through the southeast door, then head
south until you receive the message “Into the deeps...”. Head down the
southwest tunnel and fight 2 Lizardfolk Warriors, 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers and a
Lizardfolk Healer (take it out with magic from a distance). Go through the door
on the northwest wall to briefly return to Stillwater. Have Beriand heal you,
talk to him about the scarred mages and then go and sell supplies to Nottle.
Return to the Lizardfolk tunnel by Left-Clicking on the cavern opening you
recently exited from and selecting “Return to the Lizardfolk Tunnel”. Upon
returning head southwest to the next clearing, then south across the room; take
the next southeast tunnel to an encounter with an army of Lizardfolk. You must
defeat 2 Lizardfolk Healers, 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers, and 2 Lizardfolk
Warriors. You will want to get out of the line of sight of the healers in the
southern room to draw them out and into the fray; or if you are lucky you may
be able to run past the warriors and get close to the healers to prevent them
from casting all together. Use the tactics you are familiar with for defeating
these creatures, and if all else fails try a blast of Cone of Cold to clear the
room. You can get a couple of anti-Orc/Orog weapons after the battle. Amidst
the barrels on the east side of the room is a fancy barrel that gives a +1 to
Dex, which I gave to the Rogue. Notice the sturdy door barred from the other
side in this room. This leads to an area of the Surface called the Nightingale
Court; you will be able to use this later in the game but for now it is sealed.
Acquire: Silverleaf Hatchet +2 hit/damage, {+3 hit/damage and +1 AC vs.
Orc/Orogs}; Silverleaf Rod, same properties as hatchet.
Go: Rest, then return to the Deep Halls.

Event 41: Cooked Meat; Clearing out the Lizardfolk from the Deep Halls (DEEP
HALLS MAP)
Enemies: 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 7 Lizardfolk Healers, Lizardfolk Taskmaster,
2 Lizardfolk Faith Healers, 6 Injured Lizardfolk.
Notes: Once at the top of the stairs, exit the room and go northwest. Enter the
first clearing to the west and you will see a Glyph of Water Seals this door.
Mark the Glyph on your map, you will need to return here later. Head north from
in front of the Glyph and open the wooden door concealing a well of fire. You
receive a message about cooked meat. Exit the room and you will encounter a
party of 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers, a Lizardfolk Healer and a Lizardfolk
Taskmaster. Continue northeast, then take the next hall northwest and enter
some more ruins. Here you will find a party of 4 Lizardfolk Healers and a
Lizardfolk Faith Healer. Use established tactics to defeat them, then take the
monk’s staff they drop. North of the battle you will see a set of double doors;
to the left is a chest with a ring you can take; if you go through the doors
you will return to Stillwater; to return from Stillwater to this location
select the cavern exit and then select “Return to the Lizardfolk Camp in the
Deep Halls”. From here head south past the ruins you just fought in, then go
straight east until you arrive back at the well of fire in the center of a
massive hall (you defeated some injured Lizardfolk here earlier). Head straight
north from the well of fire and you will see a room with two wooden doors that
allow entrance to the room from the southwest and southeast; choose either door
and open it with the Soot-Coated Key. The staircase beyond will take you to the
northern portion of the Halls of Light. In the first room here you will have to
defeat 3 Injured Lizardfolk and a Lizardfolk Faith Healer. Open the chests to
get another Soot-Coated Key and some healing related magic items. In the room
east you will have to defeat 3 Injured Lizardfolk, a Lizardfolk Faith Healer
and a Lizardfolk Healer. This battle brought Jarial to Level 5, I gave him
Burning Hands and Web. Take the two healing potions in this room. You are not
powerful enough to go further through this board at this time. Return to the
Deep Halls and open the second Soot-Coated Key Door.
Acquire: From party of healers, Luther’s Protector, +3 hit/damage/initiative,
only for monks. From the two chests in the first room of the Halls of Light
another Soot-Coated Key, 2 Scrolls of Neutralize Poison Level 10, 2 potions of
Cure Serious Wounds Level 20. From the second room a potion of Heal level 20,
potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10.
Go: Rest then return to the Huge X Well, the central landmark in the Deep
Halls.

Event 42: Finding the Furnace for Burning Evil Books, Restoring Elena’s
Remains, Orog Encounters
Enemies: 12 Orogs, 5 Orog Guardsmen, 3 Orog Healers
Notes: Head directly southwest from the Huge X fountain, the hall you enter
bears northeast and you will see another Glyph of Water on the floor, mark this
on your map and then go west. You will encounter a party of 4 Orogs and an Orog
Guardsman. Make sure your Paladin is using the double damage Warhammer. Before
this battle you must rest and use all the defensive/beneficial spells you have;
Orogs have very high AC scores and are hard to hit; battles with them will drag
on until you find better spells later in the game. These Orogs don’t use bows
so prepare for straight melee fighting with magic support from behind. Notice
that Jarial can now cast 3 Magic Missiles in a row during battle; Melf’s Acid
Arrow works pretty well too. Get the numbers down by taking the lesser Orog’s
out first with combined attacks. After the battle you get a healing potion. On
the wall north of this battle is a set of double doors, have your Rogue open
them to disarm a trap. This room contains a special Furnace for Burning Evil
Books. Mark this place on your map so you can return here later. Exit the room
and head west to some ruins where you will encounter 3 Orogs and an 2 Orog
Guardsman; defeat them as before. Head north from the ruins and you will find a
door with a wooden coffin in the room beyond. Have your Rogue pick this lock to
enter the room, and click on the coffin; select the option to put the bones
back together properly to bring peace to Elena and gain an experience bonus.
Rest here, cast your defensive spells in preparation of more Orog battles. Exit
the room and head southwest past the ruins; you will spot a wooden door
directly on the northwest side of the hall beyond the ruins. Stand to the left
of this door before you open it. There are 2 Orogs, an Orog Guardsmen and 2
Orog Healers (cast spells roughly equivalent to Lizardfolk Healers) in this
room. Trapping them in the room so you can deal with them one at a time will
make this battle a lot easier. Just try to keep to the sides of the doors to
make the healers get closer. Use Melf’s Acid Arrow on the healers as they stand
back; in subsequent rounds use Magic Missile until the Acid cloud diminishes on
the target, then cast it Melf’s Acid Arrow again. After the battle take the
gold the Orogs drop and rest/cast defensive spells. Exit the room and go west
to an encounter with 3 Orogs, an Orog Healer and Orog Guardsman, defeat them
using established tactics, take the gold they drop and go down southeast hall.
Acquire: From first Orog group, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15.
Go: You can sleep and recover in any of the rooms in this hall. Afterward exit
to the hall and continue southwest to a well.

EVENT 43: Athan’s Well and The Mountain Fist
Quest Notes: Nearby is the Mountain Fist lost to fell spirits in the deep
dungeons. Recovering it completes the Persistence of Shadows Quest.
Enemies: 3 Orogs, Orog Healer, 2 Orog Guardsmen, 2 Skeleton Lords, 5 Shadows.
Notes: Approach the well from the southeast hall and you receive a message that
the well is dry but someone has been here recently. Your Rogue will find a note
under a rock; it is from Athan and describes how he defeated a Dark Naga
nearby. Go through the open metal gates northwest of the well; at the end of
the hall go southeast, then through the opening south. Open the door on the
northwest wall to begin a battle with 3 Orogs and an Orog healer; you will want
to stand to the left of the door and make them come out to you. After the
battle go through the northwest door and defeat 2 Orog Guardsmen. Rest and
recast, then head east down a wide open hall to a set of wooden double doors
with a purple glow beyond them. There are 2 Skeleton Lords and 2 Shadows in
this room that are susceptible to Turn Undead. Defeat them, then open the chest
to set off an ambush of 3 more shadows, all can be turned and quickly defeated.
After the battle you receive a message describing a heavy club with words spun
of silver in its haft. This is the Mountain Fist; take it with you. Return to
Athan’s Well.
Acquire: From room filled with Shadows, the Mountain Fist +2 hit/damage/Str, +5
hit/damage vs. constructs.
Go: It is time to clear out the southern Deep Halls, it is better to do this
from the eastern approach so return to the Huge X Well near the entrance to the
Deep Halls. From there head south to the arch where you defeated 2 Ghasts in
Event 37; this is west of where you found Garras’ remains and northwest of
where you found the blocked sturdy door. Rest along the way.

EVENT 44: The Arraccats
Quest Notes: Defeating the 4 Arraccats in this area and taking the Gauntlets of
Ogre Power they guard completes the Tooth in Glove Quest.
Enemies: 4 Arraccats (These creatures a fierce fighters who can deal out heavy
damage and have a lot of hit points. However they are easy to hit and are
susceptible to almost every form of physical/magical attack).
Notes: From the arch head northwest and enter the first door you see to the
northeast (it looks like a busted wooden door). DO NOT stop moving, go to the
back of this room and wait. Four Arraccats will follow you into the room and
battle will be initiated. I used magic items to destroy these beasts. 1 Charge
Wand of Fireball, 1 Scroll of Lightning, 1 Cone of Cold Charge. My Paladin also
hit 2 of them for about 15-20 points of damage apiece. On the table is an
Ancient Note that talks about taking something from a man called Faldis. Open
the two chests, one contains Gauntlets of Ogre Power, taking this item
completes the Tooth in Glove Quest. The other chest contains gold; keep in mind
there are two more piles of gold hidden in this room.
Acquire: From Arraccats, the Gauntlets of Ogre Power, +2 Str, (I gave these two
my Rogue because my other melee fighters already had Str bonuses).
Go: Exit the room and head straight south across the ruins to a door behind
which you can see an Ornate Coffin.

EVENT 45: Ruby of Earthborn Wind and Faldis’ Defender
Quest Notes: Here you will find the Ruby of Earthborn Wind, an essential item
used later to complete the Earthborn Wind Quest.
Enemies: 6 Skeleton Elders, Skeleton Lord, 3 Ghasts, Ghoul, 4 Ancient Zombies,
6 Orog, 2 Orog Healers, 2 Orog Hunter, 2 Zombies.
Notes: Opening the door to this crypt sets off a wide-ranging battle against 6
Skeleton Elders (all vulnerable to Turn Undead) and a Skeleton Lord; defeat
them and approach the coffin of Juliban Genshihir, Keeper of the Earthborn
Wind. Open the coffin and take the Ruby of Earthborn Wind, a voice tells you to
use it to restore the wind. Enter the southeast room and pick up a pile of
gold. Exit the southeast door and you will encounter 3 Ghasts and a Ghoul. The
Ghasts cannot be turned so block the door with your fighters and deal with the
enemy two at a time using conventional tactics. These creatures drop some
insignificant magic items. Head west from their eating area until you see a set
of metal doors on a northeast wall. Enter this room to find the Coffin of
Faldis, it is empty. Enter the room west to find his diary, in which he praises
his shield. The chest in this room contains the shield in question; take it and
exit back to the hall. Head west to some ruins and a wide ranging encounter
with 4 Ancient Zombies. Take the gold they drop and go north through the ruins.
You will encounter a group of 2 Orog, 2 Orog Healers and an Orog Hunter. The
hunter will shoot arrows, but alone he should not present too great a threat.
Use established tactics to defeat them. This battle brought my first Sorcerer
to Level 5, I gave her Shocking Grasp and Cat’s Grace (she can now cast 3 magic
missiles in a row). Take the gold the Orog drop and head northeast. For now
continue past the unlit Glyph and open the wooden door at the end of the hall.
In this room are 4 Orog, an Orog Hunter and 2 Zombies. Take advantage of their
battle and wipe them out. Close and reopen the chest in this room to get a pair
of magic boots. Exit this room and go northwest to a set of metal double doors,
use them to exit to Stillwater. Speak with Beriand to find out that Nottle is
Missing. Exit the tree house and come back in several times to hear Faeril
describe a creature she saw near Nottle’s wagon, an Orog attack on the shelter
and narrow escape from some Lizardfolk.
Acquire: From Juliban Genshihir’s coffin, the Ruby of Earthborn Wind. From the
3 Ghasts, Sorcerer's Scroll of Bull’s Strength Level 10, potion of Cure Serious
Wounds Level 20, salve of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 20. From Faldis’ chest,
Faldis’ Defender Shield +2 AC, +3 Initiative (I gave it to my Cleric, then gave
her initiative enhancing armor to my Paladin and his Protection armor to her).
From Orog/Undead Battle, Lenore’s Sanctuary Boots +4 AC vs. undead.
Go: Reenter the Deep Halls by Left-Clicking on the cavern and selecting “Return
to the Ceremonial Court in the Deep Halls”.

EVENT 46: Hall of the Sharpstick Clan
Quest Notes: Orcs have taken over the Hall of the Sharpstick Ormyrrs, defeat
them to Complete the Alone in Darkness Quest.
Enemies: 2 Orcs, 2 Orc Leaders, Orc Chief, 3 Orc Shamans, 4 Orc Leaders, 2 Orc
Witch Doctors.
Notes: Head southwest of the door to Stillwater and approach the Sigil of the
God Clangeddin Silverbeard, it is flanked with crude sharpened sticks. Enter
the this room and receive warnings of Orcs. Cast defensive spells and go
through the northwest doors (use Rogue to defeat poison trap) and you will see
2 Orcs and 2 Orc Leaders congregating by a fountain. A battle begins as you
approach; have both your Sorcerer's run up and use Burning Hands and you can
take out all four where they stand in one round. Take the gold they drop.
Approach and open the northeast door and an battle begins with enemies spread
over two rooms: on the left an Orc Chief and an Orc Shaman, on the right an Orc
Leader, Orc Shaman, and Orc Witch Doctor. All of these Orcs have artificially
high AC scores and are harder to hit than normal. I sent Jarial to use his Ring
of Cone of Cold on the right room, killing all three creatures inside, then I
had my melee fighters engage the Orcs on the left. In the next round another
hoard of enemies appears: an Orc Shaman, an Orc Witch Doctor and 3 Orc Leaders;
I was able to use the Cone of Cold wand on this group to kill off all but 1,
which I finished off with magic missiles. I used conventional tactics to kill
the remaining two Orcs. This battle, which completes the Alone in Darkness
Quest brought my Paladin to Level 5. Plunder the chest in the Orc Chief’s room
to get a special bow; the 2 chests in the room to the right have a Rogue’s
amulet and a shield. Go to the eastern room and have your Rogue open the
poison-trapped door; the chest in this room contains some gold.
Acquire: From Orc Chief’s Room, Shortbow +3 hit/damage (gave to Rogue). From
the right room, Small Shield +2 AC and Theodore’s Token of Luck +1 AC/Saving
Throws/Initiative, +6 Spell Resistance, only for Rogues (happily gave to Rogue,
and gave her +3 AC amulet to Jarial).
Go: Head back to the entrance of this hall and rest/power up.

EVENT 47: The Well of the Earthborn Wind
Quest Notes: Searching the western Deep Halls you will discover the Well of the
Earthborn Wind. Place the Rillstone Ruby you found in the coffin of the Keeper
of the Earthborn Wind into the well to advance the Earthborn Wind Quest.
Enemies: 6 Orog, 5 Orog Guardsmen, 2 Orog Healers, 3 Orog Hunters, 3 Ancient
Zombies.
Notes: Exit this hall and head southeast and enter a room filled with red
globed statues. Head northwest until you find a pair of metal doors on the
southwest wall, go through them and head west briefly until you reach a hall
running southwest, head down it. Stand to the right of the double wooden doors
on the northwest side of this hall and then open the doors to begin a major
confrontation with Orog. There are 3 Orog, 2 Orog Guardsmen and an Orog Healer
in this room. They will spend their ambush round bunching up by the door. Have
your magic users stand back and cast spells to kill off the healer first, then
deal with the rest as they come to the door two at a time. After the battle
take the paltry magic items and check the closed cabinet to find an Idolon.
This battle brought my Cleric to Level 5; some of her new spells include Prayer
( a great defensive spell that improves attack and defense rolls for each party
member and worsens the same for the enemy), Dispel Magic (which can get rid of
enemy area affect spells like darkness), and Searing Light can do heavy damage
to some dark dwelling and evil creatures. Rest and power up here; exit the
room, go southwest to the next hall and then northwest to a set of doors (have
your Rogue open these to avoid the poison gas trap). Head North and you will
encounter a group of 2 Orog Hunters, an Orog and an Orog Guardsman; use
established tactics to defeat them (you may notice you have an easier time now
that you have Prayer cast). Head northwest until you see two breakable beams on
the ground, go through the room northeast of here. Head northwest down the next
hall and you come upon a battle between Orogs and Undead. There are 3 Ancient
Zombies vs. 2 Orogs, 2 Orog Guardsmen, an Orog Hunter and an Orog Healer.
Concentrate on wiping out the Orog first, let them waste their time fighting
the undead. After the battle pick up the healing potion and go through the
northwest door. Search the coffins, one contains a special amulet. Rest, then
exit back to the 2 fallen beams you spotted earlier. Go west to a hall that
leads northwest, follow it to a red marker; Left-Click on the marker and your
Rogue reads it to find out that this is the Well of the Earthborn Wind. Enter
this room, approach the well, Right-Click on it and select “Place Large Red
Gemstone”. You receive a message that Blessing Winds flow up from underground
through three Channel openings overhead; later we will find out where these
channels lead and complete the Earthborn Wind Quest.
Acquire: From first Orog army, salve of Cure Serious Wounds Level 20,
Sorcerer's Scroll of Shield Level 5. From closed cabinet, Idolon. From
Orog/Undead battle, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15. From 2 coffins,
Crimson Brooch +2 AC, +7 Spell Resistance (I gave this to my first Sorcerer).
Go: Rest here, then exit to the hall with the red marker.

EVENT 48: Finding Nottle
Quest Notes: Find Nottle imprisoned by the cult in a room marked by the Sigil
of Dumathoin; speaking to him gives you The Dragon Bound Quest.
Enemies: 6 Orog Guardsmen, 4 Orog Healers, 5 Orogs, Cult Mage, Cult Soldier.
Notes: Go northwest of the red marker, take the next hall southwest and you
will encounter a group of 2 Orog Guardsmen and 3 Orog Healers. I silenced the
healers and used burning hands to weaken the guardsmen, a combination of magic
missiles and Melf’s Acid Arrow helped. Rest and power up, then continue
northwest through the gates and you will encounter another Orog Army; 5 Orogs,
an Orog Healer and Orog Guardsman. Use established tactics. Northeast is the
Sigil of the dwarf god Dumathoin before a set of wooden doors, approach them
and you hear someone speaking inside. Enter the room and you encounter 3 Orog
Guardsmen, a Cult Mage and a Cult Soldier keeping Nottle prisoner. Lucky for
you Nottle is a distraction for them and you get an ambush round. Concentrate
on killing the cult members first (get close to them in the first round to
prevent the mage using his spells; the soldier is a good fighter who gets two
hits a round, but he is vulnerable to almost all spells and physical attacks),
then the Orog. The door to Nottle’s cell can only be opened with the Key of
Dumathoin, which is nowhere near here so mark this location on your map so you
can return later. Also make a note about the Cruel Glyph blocking the door
north of the cage, it cannot be opened yet but you will return here later. Ask
him where the key is; he tells you Scarred Mages took it to the House of Gems.
This conversation gives you The Dragon Bound Quest. Head to the room southeast
of the cage and you will find a closed chest filled with gold in the southeast
of a room filled with open empty chests.  Exit back to the Sigil of Dumathoin,
head northwest and have your Rogue open the lightning-trapped wooden door on
the northeast wall. The closed chest in this room against the northwest wall
contains a magic ring, the four chests in the center of the room each contain
gold (two are open, close them and open them again to trigger the gold). Go
through the wooden door on the northwest wall, head northwest to a metal door
flanked by two shields with a crest of fire. Go through this door and you will
find steps that lead to the Hall of Stone; but for now we should stay on this
floor.
Acquire: From 4 gold chests room, Milla’s Blessing ring, +3 AC, +1 Dex.
Go: Back to the gate you found at the beginning of this event, the one that was
guarded by 3 Orog Healers.

EVENT 49: The Rhonglyn Device and the Hall of Wizards (HALL OF WIZARDS MAP)
Quest Notes: By breaking the ice shrouding the Rhonglyn device you find in the
western Deep Halls and using it to travel the Hall of Wizards, you complete the
Borea’s Blood Quest. Speaking to the soothsayer Caalenfaire and his assistant
Volun will update the Bone Whisper’s Quest by giving you the Word of Oblivion.
From the conversation you also receive the Seal of Mythanthor Quest (use the
Ring of Calling to ascend to the City Heights), the Guardian’s Tale Quest (seek
out the golden serpent Odelinde in the City Heights) and the Heartbeat Quest
(seek out the Dwarf Lord Harldain Ironbar in the City Heights).
Notes: Go northwest from the gate and then bear west at the next intersection
and soon you will find a room with a door of ice. Break the door and enter the
room, then break the ice shrouding the Rhonglyn; you have freed the Rhonglyn
device and can use it to travel to different locations in the dungeon. Notice
that the device has 5 colored pillars; each floor of the dungeon is represented
by one of the pillars and the color at the center of the device tells you which
color to use to return to the floor you are currently on. (Red=Deep Halls,
Blue=Hall of Wizards, Purple=Halls of Light, Green=Halls of Stone, Yellow=Main
Halls.) You also get Borea’s Blood, an item that works like a dagger and can
cast 3 level 15 Cone of Cold spells; Sweet. Left-Click on the blue pillar, you
arrive in the Hall of Wizards and have completed the Borea’s Blood Quest. Go
through the southwest hall, then bear northwest along the raised walkway and
you will encounter the soothsayer Caalenfaire and his floating-skull assistant
Volun. Approach them and you are told to seek out Odelinde the golden serpent
and the Dwarf Lord Harldain Ironbar, both beyond the circle of Mythan. Volun
expresses concern that you do not have the ring of calling, and that Jarial has
joined your party; you are declared talibund, Veiled Ones. Tell them you seek
the Ring of Calling and Caalenfaire teaches you the Word of Oblivion which will
free the Ring of Calling from the skeletal arm Athan sought. You can ask them
about being talibund and the song of Faerun; what the path is and how to return
to it. Ask about the future and you are reminded to seek the Dwarf Lord and the
Golden Serpent; to reach them you must use the Ring of Calling (found in the
House of Gems) to open the Seal of Mythanthor, found in the Halls of Light.
This encounter updates Bone Whispers Quest; it also bestows the Seal of
Mythanthor, Guardian’s Tale and Heartbeat Quests. Head down the steps in front
of Caalenfaire and use the Scrying Mirror to discover who is behind the return
of the Pool: Kya Mordrayn (a former hand model) and Pelendralaar a dracolich
(big rotting dragon).
Acquire: From Rhonglyn room, Borea’s Blood dagger, +2hit/damage, +4 AC, Casts 3
Level 15 Cone of Cold spells (Happily gave to my first Sorcerer).
Go: Select the green pillar of the Rhonglyn device in the Hall of Wizards to
travel to the Halls of Stone.

EVENT 50: Finding the Word of Constriction (HALLS OF STONE MAP)

used to close the Nightmare Gate later in the game, which will complete the
Nightmare Walking Quest.
Enemies: 2 Zombies, 6 Skeleton Lords, 8 Ancient Zombies, 2 Skeleton Knights,
Skeleton.
Notes: Exit the Rhonglyn room by breaking the ice door to the south. Head east,
then go southeast down the next hall. Enter the first southern door you come
across, the chest in this room contains some gold, but it is trapped so have
your Rogue open it. Exit and continue southeast, the next room on the southwest
side of the hall contains the stairs back to the Deep Halls you discovered
earlier. Exit this room and go southeast to the next room on the southwest
hall. On the table in this room is a note about Lizardfolk near the Nightmare
Gate. Exit and continue southeast to an army of undead; 2 Zombies, 2 Skeleton
Lords and 2 Ancient Zombies; all are to some degree susceptible to the Level 5
Cleric’s Turn Undead skill and can be easily defeated. Take the gold they drop
and continue southeast until you see a door on the northeast wall. The chest to
the right of the door contains a scroll and potion. Enter the door, then the
one beyond it to the northeast. Go through two doors northwest and head
upstairs for a brief visit to the Halls of Light. The closed cabinet in the
first room contains an anti-lizard knife, the chest contains some gold. Head
through the southwest door to a battle with 2 Skeleton Knights, a Skeleton Lord
and 4 Ancient Zombies; defeat them then go through the southeast door. Pass
through the next hall to its southeast wooden door, go through it and defeat 3
Skeleton Lords, 1 Skeleton and 2 Ancient Zombies. Take their Gold and open the
chest on the table to the northeast to get a scroll with the Word of
Constriction which will close the Nightmare Gate. Take the scroll and when you
close the chest you will automatically gain the word.
From: Hall chest, Sorcerer's Scroll of Shield Level 5, salve of Cure Serious
Wounds Level 20. bookcase, Marshbane Dagger +2 hit/damage, +2 hit and triple
damage vs. reptiles. (I had Jarial hold onto this for defensive battles with

him in this event.

Lord.
Notes: From the door to the Rhonglyn room head east to the intersection, then
north to a northwestern hall. Enter the room on the southeastern side of this
hall and you encounter 2 Skeleton Elders (can now be turned), 2 Skeletons and a
Cult Mage interrogating a prisoner; this prisoner is not helpless however and
he begins a battle against his captors, help him defeat these creatures. “Aid
comes when least looked for”? Don’t you mean expected? Or does he mean he
didn’t need our help? Ask him to declare himself, ask where Athan is now, ask
what he learned from his captors, ask about Athan’s Quest, ask what is
corrupting the Mythal, ask about the Gauntlets of Moander and how to further
Athan’s Quest. Take Emmeric into your party; he is a good fighter who will
double your melee strength. You will find some gold, and some armor for Emmeric
as well as a couple of healing potions in the chest in this room. His dagger is
useless, give him a better weapon as soon as you can. Exit to the hall and head
straight north to a set of metal doors, this room contains two notes describing
the day to day difficulties of running a cult. Have you Rogue pick the lock on
the gate and retrieve some gold in the chest beyond it. Exit the room and go
southeast to a set of metal double doors, they are lightning-trapped so have
your Rogue open them. Defeat 2 Skeleton Elders, a Skeleton Knight and Skeleton
Lord on the other side. Go east to the wooden doors; in this room are several
dead elven Clerics killed by sinister magic and some worthless equipment that
explains why they died so easily.
Acquire: From Emmeric’s chest, Chainmail +5, two salves of Cure Serious Wounds
Level 20. Dead elves’ equipment, 2 Large Shields +2 AC, 2 Light Maces.

the open wooden door in the western corner of this hall and defeat 2 Ancient
Zombies. Head northeast to four fallen wooden beams, go straight east and you
will find a Spinning Spire, mark its location on the map then return to the
beams and bear northwest past them and enter the metal double doors. Head
northwest to a wooden door and enter this room. Defeat 3 Ghouls and 2 Ghasts

(these two still cannot be turned but block the door and you will only have to
defeat one at a time). This battle brought my Rogue to Level 6. You should rest
and power up here, then exit and go south. At the three way intersection go
southeast to a wooden door on the northeastern wall and open it. Here you will
have to defeat 3 Skeleton Knights, 2 Ancient Zombies and a Skeleton Lord. Take
their gold and open the chest in this room, take the magical dagger and return
to the three way intersection. Head southwest and enter the northwest room with
metal doors where an undead army must be defeated, 4 Ancient Zombies and 3
Skeleton Knights. Exit this room and enter the wooden door south; take the
scroll on the table, exit and head west; first pass beneath the ruins and when
you reach the corner of the room go north into the ruins. You will encounter 4
Shadows easily turned and defeated. Continue north to the next area of ruins,
and engage 4 more Shadows, after a couple of rounds 4 more approach from the
southeast. Turn them all and hack them up; take the two healing potions they
drop. Open the chest they guarded and take the First Vial of Naga Blood. In the
chest east of this one you will find a pair of mobility enhancing boots and a
set of armor.
Acquire: From pair of Skeleton Lords, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15,
you can get another one from 4 Ancient Zombies later. From the room with 4
stone markers, Boghurst’s Putrefaction, a dagger that casts 7 Bestow Curse

event. Rest and power up.

EVENT 53: Lizardfolk of Malgi Hi, First Channel of the Earthborn Wind
Quest Notes: By speaking to the Lizardfolk in the northwest section of the
Halls of Stone you will receive the God of Fire and Stone Quest to explore the
city surface and learn the identity of Malgi Hi. In this area you will find the
outpouring of one of the three channels of the Earthborn Wind, drink of it to
advance the Quest of the same name.
Enemies: 22 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 7 Lizardfolk Healer, 4 Lizardfolk
Taskmaster, Lizardfolk Warrior, 5 Lizardfolk.
Notes: Exit the room and go up the hall that north/northwest from here. You
receive a message from a group of Lizardfolk that this area belongs to the
Warriors of Malgi Hi; you are granted the God of Fire and Stone Quest. Return
the favor of the fair warning by attacking and defeating the group of 5
Lizardfolk Scavengers and a Lizardfolk Healer. With all the experience you have
killing Lizardfolk, these few won’t be a problem. Take the fine sword they drop
and head north to a northwest hall with two opposing metal doors. There are 3
Lizardfolk Scavengers, a Lizardfolk Healer and Lizardfolk Taskmaster in this
room, defeat them using established tactics and take their gold; there are a
few scrolls in the chest and cabinet in this room. Exit and continue northwest
up the hall, enter the northern clearing and head west to the ruins. You will
encounter and have to defeat a patrol of 4 Lizardfolk Scavengers and a
Lizardfolk Taskmaster. Head east back to the clearing and open the northeastern
of two wooden doors on the northern wall and pick up an ax. Now enter the
northwestern door on the northern wall and defeat 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers and 2
Lizardfolk Healers, they drop a couple of magic items. Go through the wooden
door on the north side of this room and enter the next wooden door northeast of
here; defeat 4 Lizardfolk Scavengers and a Lizardfolk Taskmaster, take their
gold and a scroll on the floor. Exit to the hall and enter the next door on the
northwest wall. In this hall go to the northeast room with a glowing well. As
you enter you will be ambushed by 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers, a Lizardfolk
Warrior, a Lizardfolk Healer and a Lizardfolk. The well in this room is the
outpouring of one of the three channels of the Earthborn Wind which are
scattered throughout the Halls of Stone. When you drink of the well you gain
experience and advance the Earthborn Wind Quest. This brought Jarial to level
6, FIREBALL TIME! Fireball will be a great boon to your Quest; just cast it
into a room and you can clear it in no time. Area effect spells like Fireball
make this game somewhat fun to play. With all such spells be careful to observe
the area of effect before you cast and look for good zones to target your
enemies but leave your people unharmed (such as behind the enemy’s frontline of
battle). Rest and power up, then continue northwest down the hall you were just
in and go north through the clearing to find another Water Glyph door, remember
to record it on your map. Go northeast to a large confrontation with 4
Lizardfolk, 2 Lizardfolk Healers, a Lizardfolk Taskmaster and 2 Lizardfolk
Scavengers; put that Fireball Spell to work--all 4 frontline Lizardfolk blown
away and the ones behind them seriously injured--NICE. Get rid of these guys
and take the paltry items they drop.
Acquire: From warning party, Twilight Guardian +2 hit/damage, vs. Orcs/Orogs
+14 Magic Resistance (I gave this to Emmeric and even later in the game held
onto it for battles with Orcs/Orog). From chest and cabinet combo, 2 Sorcerer's
Scrolls of Chill Touch Level 5,  2 Cleric’s Scrolls of Spiritual Weapon Level
5. From room without enemies, Battleaxe (keep this for use later). From 3rd

Serious Wounds Level 20. Scroll on floor, Sorcerer's Scroll of Dispel Magic
Level 10. Big army items, Sorcerer's Scroll of Shield Level 5, salve of Cure
Serious Wounds Level 20.
Go: All the way back to the Spinning Spire you spotted in the center of the
Halls of Stone, soon after Emmeric joined you.

EVENT 54: Closing the Nightmare Gate, Finding the Fountain Macabre
Quest Notes: In the center of the Halls of Stone you will find a circular room
with a red portal in it. As you enter the room the Word of Constriction is
spoken and the gate seals, defeat the undead who guarded the gate to complete
the Nightmare Gate Quest.
Curiosity Notes: In this event you will be directed to the Fountain Macabre
that you can fill with naga blood to claim a special prize.
Enemies: 3 Ancient Zombies, 2 Skeleton Lord, 5 Skeleton Knight, 3 Skeleton
Elders
Notes: From the Spinning Spire in the center of the Halls of Stone head
directly north through the gate and enter the door northwest on the curved
wall. As you enter, the Word of Constriction automatically seals the gate;
defeat 3 Ancient Zombies, a Skeleton Lord and a Skeleton Knight to clear the
room (this battle brought Emmeric to Level 6 Fighter (he will more frequently
be able to get in 2 hits during battle). The lightning-trapped chest in this
room contains an amulet that can cast Halt Undead, take it and exit the room.
Head back to the Spinning Spire, go south to an intersection, take the
southwest hall, then the southeast hall after that. As you approach some ruins
you sense undercurrents of magic near a red glow to the southeast. You will
have to defeat 3 Skeleton Elders, a Skeleton Lord, and 4 Skeleton Knights to
approach the red fountain. After the battle take the gold and examine the
Fountain Macabre, it wants the blood of Nagakind. Right click on the fountain
and select “Place Vial Filled with Ancient Stinking Fluid”; you get a message
the bowl is 1/4 full. We must find 3 more vials to fill up the fountain and
claim your prize.
Acquire: From Nightmare gate room, Tyr’s Locket of Justice, +2 Wis, can cast 5
level 15 Halt Undead spells.
Go: North to the intersection, head east, then go southeast through a narrow
hall and stop by 2 metal doors on the south wall.

Event 55: Wings of Diabolicus, Glyphs of Song
Enemies: 5 Skeleton Knights, Skeleton Lord, 2 Ancient Zombies, 4 Shadows,
Master Shadow.
Notes: Have your Rogue open the trapped doors and head south through the next
set of doors; soon you encounter a group of 5 Skeleton Knights, a Skeleton Lord
and 2 Ancient Zombies. Defeat them and take their gold, have your Rogue open
the trapped door in the southeast corner of this room, head southeast from
here. At the end of this hall go northeast; soon you will find a group of slain
undead with some common weapons strewn amidst them. Go northeast and you will
find a Glyph of Song (this will be opened from the other side at a future
date). Enter the wooden door east of the Glyph and take the gold from the chest
surrounded by spikes; this triggers an ambush by 4 shadows and a Master Shadow.
I had Jarial use a Dispel Magic scroll to clear the darkness they cast, and had
my Cleric Turn Undead to incapacitate the Shadows. Then the whole group
concentrated on defeating the Master Shadow (Searing Light works well) and
afterward they leisurely finished off the rest. Take the warhammer and Idolon
they drop. Rest and recover, power up and return to pile of undead. Head up
hall to northwest, notice the other Glyph of Song; enter the room on the left;
the 3 chests here contain nothing.
Acquire: From pile of undead 2 Longswords and a Large Shield. From room of
Shadows, Wings of Diabolicus Warhammer, +2 hit/damage, cast Slay Living Level
15, 3 charges, can be used by Clerics; Idolon.
Go: Back to the metal doors you opened at the beginning of this event.

EVENT 56: Finding the 2nd Channel of the Earthborn Wind; 2nd Vial of Naga Blood
Event Notes: In this event you will find the 2nd Channel of the Earthborn Wind,
further advancing the Earthborn Wind Quest.
Curiosity Notes: In this event you will find the 2nd Vial of Naga’s Blood.
Enemies: 6 Skeleton Knights, 10 Ancient Zombies,
Notes: From the metal doors go north until you encounter a group of undead to
defeat; 2 Skeleton Knights, Skeleton Lord, 2 Ancient Zombies. Take the healing
potion they drop and enter the room they were feeding in. Go through next two
rooms southwest (careful: first door is trapped), then enter the room southeast
and take the gold from 3 fancy barrels. Exit to the hall and journey southeast
across the ruins and battle 5 Ancient Zombies. After the battle they drop the
2nd Vial of Naga Blood, take it and continue east. Soon you will find the 2nd
Channel of the Earthborn wind wafting up from a well guarded by 3 Ancient
Zombies and 4 Skeleton Knights; defeat them, take their gold, then drink from
the well. This action brought my Cleric, Paladin and first Sorcerer to Level 6
(I gave her Fireball). Notice that the Paladin can cast a few more Divine
spells and will on more occasions be able to get in a double attack. Go east,
have your Rogue open the trapped metal doors and you will receive messages that
reveal more about the fate of Athan’s band. Continue east to an open wooden
door on the north wall. In this room is a staircase back down to the Scarred
Mage’s chamber in the Main Halls. Exit this room and go south into the ruins.
There is a cabinet here with a dagger in it. From the cabinet go southwest and
open the trapped door; in this room the more southwestern chest contains some
gold. Exit and go northeast to the edge of the ruins then northwest to a wooden
door leading southwest. In the room southwest is a poison-cloud spewing
fountain that is instantly deadly if approached. To open the two chests in the
poison room, have your Rogue drink of the middle basin of 5 basins on the
northwest wall of the first room to become Protected from Poison. Next open the
door and have your party move one at a time into the easternmost corner of the
poison room, then have your Rogue go alone to open the chests and make sure not
to let anyone else get to close. Then have everyone exit one at a time. The
reason you have to do it this way is that the protection from poison basin does
not have enough charges to protect your whole group.
Acquire: From first group, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15. Dagger of
Defense, can cast 8 level 5 Mage Armor Spells. From poison well chests,
Pureblade +1 hit/damage, +3 hit/damage vs. undead.
Go: Back to the trapped metal doors where you learned more about the fate of
Athan’s Band. Head west to the 2nd Channel, then go northwest, back across the
ruins you fought through earlier. When you see a red glow from a room ahead of
you, enter the hall north, head northeast to 3 fallen beams, then southeast to
a wooden door on the southwest wall of this hall.

Event 57: Orog Honor
Enemies: 9 Ancient Zombies, Skeleton Knight, 2 Ghouls, Ghast, 2 Skeleton
Elders, 11 Orogs, Orog Guardsman, 3 Orog Healers.
Notes: When you enter the wooden door an Orog cries out for assistance in his
battle with 3 Ancient Zombies and a Skeleton Knight. Be nice and attack/defeat
only the undead. After the battle the Orog give you a present, Orog arrows.
Exit the room through the southeast door and continue southeast to a southern
wall; head northeast to a wooden door and enter a room filled with stools. Go
through the northeast door to a treasure room and take the items from the 3
closed chests. Head back for the room where you helped the Orogs and you will
be set upon by 2 Ghouls, a Ghast and 3 Ancient Zombies. The Orog you helped now
return the favor as you fight these undead. Make sure you don’t harm the
friendly Orog. After the battle go through the northwest room back to the hall
northeast, head directly east to some wooden partitions, then navigate
northward through them to a confrontation with 2 Skeleton Elders and 3 Ancient
Zombies. After the battle go northwest through the partitions and you will
eventually encounter an army of 5 Orogs and an Orog Guardsman. From this battle
head north to a wooden door and enter it; the chests in this room contain some
magical items and gold. Rest here then head east to a room with three flanking,
closed wooden doors; open the nearest door and defeat 2 Orog Healers and 3
Orog. Take the healing potion they drop and plunder the two chests in these
rooms to get some gold and a shield. Exit the first room from its southeast
door and head directly south to another wooden door. Enter this room, then have
your Rogue unlock the Web-trapped door to the south to gain some extra
experience, even though there is nothing in this room. An Orog army will now
approach from the southeast, 3 Orogs and 2 Orog healers; defeat them and
continue southeast until you see an open door leading to a room with stairs.
These stairs lead to the Halls of Light, but we don’t need to go there yet.
Acquire: From friendly Orog, Quiver of Orog Arrows +3 Hit/Damage. Treasure
room, Sling +2 (for Jarial), Warhammer +2, Sacred Vestments +1 Wisdom, +7 Spell
Resistance, +2 AC ( I gave this to my Cleric and gave her armor to Emmeric).
From the Orog northwest of the partitions, Libertas the pike, +2 hit/damage, +3
Will saving throws, can cast 5 level 10 Freedom of movement spells. From first
2 chests, Salve of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10, Potion of Cure Serious Wounds
Level 20, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Bull’s Strength level 10. From 2nd Orog battle
area, Potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15, Small Shield +1 AC.
Go: Rest here, then exit through the northeast door.

EVENT 58: Finding the 3rd Channel of the Earthborn Wind; The Foundry; 3rd and
4th Vials of Naga Blood.
Quest Notes: By drinking from the 3rd channel well, found in this event, you
complete the Earthborn Wind Quest.
Curiosity Notes: In the northeastern Halls of Stone you will find two furnaces.
If you give 3 common shields to the eastern one it will give you an enhanced
shield. If you give common Battleaxes to the western furnace it will give you
an enhanced Battleaxe. North of the western furnace is a chest containing the
4th Vial of Naga Blood.
Enemies: 6 Orogs, 3 Orog Healer, Orog Guardsman, 10 Skeleton Elders
Notes: Head up the hall northwest to an intersection and go northeast. Keep
close to the southeast wall of this hall and go northeast past 3 flaming
barrels. In a small alcove is a chest with some armor in it. Head back down the
hall and enter the wooden door on the northwest side of the hall. West of the
metal doors in this room is a chest, partially concealed by a bookcase. Open
the chest to get the 3rd Vial of Naga Blood. The metal doors lead to
Stillwater; if you want to return from Stillwater to this location Left-Click
the cavern entrance you emerged from and select “Return to the Halls of Stone”.
Exit the room and head southwest, take the next hall leading northwest, then
the following hall leading northeast. Enter the well room on the northwest side
of this hall and drink of the 3rd channel of the Earthborn Wind, this completes
the Earthborn Wind Quest. Exit the room and head northeast, at the end of the
hall go north and you will encounter 3 Orog, an Orog Healer and an Orog
Guardsman by a round well, defeat them and take their gold. There are a pair of
Waterlogged leather boots in this well, and the chest in this room contains
gold. Exit this room through the northeast door and head north to a door marked
“To Moradin the Soul Forger...” There are 3 Orogs and 2 Orog Healers to be
defeated here. Take their gold and open the chest in the north corner to get a
special mace. Exit and go east to a door marker “To Sharindlar, The Shining
Dancer...”; in this room you hear a voice talking about beard hairs; if you
Left-Click on the flame flanked by 4 small spikes in this room, you will cast
heal on your selected party member, this works 6 times. Go through the
northwest door and then northeast through the hall; in the room at the
northwest end of the hall is another staircase to the Halls of Light, you
should avoid it. Return to Sharindlar’s room and exit southwest. Head northwest
to an inactive fountain then go through the door to the metal doors to the
northeast. There are 5 Skeleton Elders to defeat in here. Take the Foundry Key
they drop, then remove the three Large Shields from the wall. Right-Click on
the furnace and select “Place Common Iron Shield”; do this a total of three
times and you will be given an enhanced Large Shield. Use the Foundry Key to
open the door west of the furnace; defeat 5 Skeleton Elders here. Take the 2
Battleaxes off the western wall; open the chest to get the 4th Vial of Naga
Blood (we will return these Vials to the Fountain Macabre before leaving the
Halls of Stone in the next event). Now place the two Battleaxes from this room,
and the Battleaxe you found in Event 53 and you get an enhanced Battleaxe. If
you don’t have that one don’t run all the way back to get it; there is another
one nearby; see Event below.
Acquire: From 3 flaming barrels chest, Leather Armor +2. From chest in room
with doors to Stillwater, 3rd Vial of Naga Blood. From round well, Waterlogged
leather boots. From Moradin’s room, Wings of Dominion mace +2 hit/damage, cast
Raise Dead Level 15, 3 charges. By placing 3 Large Shields in the eastern
furnace, Large Shield +2 AC. From chest north of the western furnace, 4th Vial
of Naga Blood. By placing 3 Battleaxes in the western furnace, you get a
Battleaxe +3 hit/damage
Go: Back to the entrance of Moradin’s room (where you found the Wings of
Dominion).

EVENT 59: Elena and Garras Really Get Around; Two Evil Books; Filling the
Fountain Macabre.
Quest Notes: In the northwest corner of the Halls of Stone you will find 2 Evil
Books. One requests (yes, the book talks) to be burned (along with any other
Evil Books you find) in the Pyre of Silence in the Deep Halls. Finding these
books advances the Tomes of Evil Quest.
Curiosity Notes: Before leaving the Halls of Stone we can fill the Fountain
Macabre with the remaining Vials of Naga Blood and receive a reward.
Enemies: 10 Orogs, 7 Orog Hunters, 2 Orog Healers, Ghast, 3 Ancient Zombies, 2
Orog Veterans,  5 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, Lizardfolk Warrior, 2 Lizardfolk, 3
Lizardfolk Scavengers, Lizardfolk Faith Healer, 2 Lizardfolk Healers.
Notes: Head southwest to the next hall, then northwest to a battle with  3
Orogs and 3 Orog Hunters; defeat them and take their gold. Through the
northwest metal doors is a room with a Battleaxe on the wall (for those of you
who didn’t get the first one from this floor). Exit and head directly south to
a wall, follow it southwest to a wooden door and go through. There is a scroll
on a table in the southwest corner; go through the northeast door. On the beds
in this room are the Delicate Pewter Key and a note from Elena to Garras that
mentions a hidden stash of weapons. Exit this room from the southeast door, go
south to the intersection and go straight southwest through a set of metal
doors. Head southwest until you arrive at the corner of a wall of stone
partitions. Head south through a set of metal doors and defeat an army of 2
Orogs, 2 Orog Hunters and an Orog Healer; take their gold, exit the room and
head straight north, back to an intersection. Go down the hall to the northwest
and enter the wooden door on the southwest wall. Head south through the door
and defeat a Ghast and 3 Ancient Zombies. After the battle, two Orogs and an
Orog Veteran (only slightly tougher than an Orog Guardsman), come out of the
room with the metal doors across the hall from where you are. There is a nice
Warhammer and a healing potion in the closed chest in the Veteran’s room; close
and reopen the open chest in the same room to get some gold. Rest, power up;
exit and head northwest to the next intersection, then go directly north.
Eventually you come across and engage an Orog Veteran, an Orog Healer, 3 Orogs
and 2 Orog Hunters. At the beginning of the third round more enemies arrive on
the scene, 2 Lizardfolk Taskmasters and a Lizardfolk Warrior. With two
Sorcerers hurling Fireball spells this battle really shouldn’t be a problem.
From where the Lizardfolk appear head southwest and enter the wooden door, go
through the next two northwest rooms and exit through the Iron Gate into
familiar territory. As you exit to the hall you see a Lizardfolk walking away,
Left-Click on him to begin a battle with 2 Lizardfolk, 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers,
a Lizardfolk Faith Healer and a Lizardfolk Taskmaster, wipe them out...all of
them. Take the ring they drop and then open the chests to get an Idolon and
some gems. Exit through the door southeast then go east into the next hall and
defeat 2 Lizardfolk Taskmasters and 2 Lizardfolk Healers. Take their gold and
enter the northwest room of this hall. Take the Evil book on the table directly
north of the door and it starts talking to you and asks you to burn it on the
Pyre of Silence (the well of fire we found earlier in the Deep Halls). Take the
other Evil book in this room. We don’t have all the books yet so let’s wait to
return to the Deep Halls. Cross the hall and enter the next room, a table has
the letters G and E inscribed on it. Use the Delicate Pewter Key to open the
southwest door, plunder the chest in this room. Return to the Fountain Macabre,
straight south from the Spinning Spire and fill it with the remaining three
Vials of Naga Blood; retrieve the Ring of Naga’s Kiss.
Acquire: From first room, Battleaxe. From table Sorcerer’s Scroll of Dispel
Magic Level 10. From bedroom, Delicate Pewter Key and note from Elena to
Garras. From Veteran’s room, Hammer of Martel +1 hit/damage, chance of Critical
Hit on 17; Salve of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20. From 2 reinforced chests
room, Ring Veil of Vanity, +2 Cha, - 1 Int, -2 Wis; Idolon and gems. From
talking book’s room, 2 Evil Books. From Elena’s chest, Shortbow +2 hit/damage,
Quiver of Arrows +1 hit/damage, Elena’s Pewter Locket +1 Wis/Int. By filling
the Fountain Macabre, Ring of Naga’s Kiss +2 Con, +5 Protection (I gave to
Cleric).
Go: Return to the Rhonglyn device in the southwest Halls of Stone, select the
purple pillar to travel to the Halls of Light.

Event 60: Around the Rhonglyn Room; Wraiths (HALLS OF LIGHT MAP)
Enemies: 6 Skeleton Elders, 7 Skeleton Lords, 4 Ancient Zombies, Master Wraith,
2 Wraiths.
Notes: Break the sheet of ice blocking the door south and then exit the room.
Go west, then north, going clockwise around the Rhonglyn Room until you
encounter undead. You must defeat 3 Skeleton Elders (easily destroyed with Turn
Undead but sometimes immune to Fireball) and 2 Skeleton Lords, (dealing with
one Skeleton Lord amidst weaker undead {as in the Halls of Stone} isn’t a
problem, but groups of Skeleton Lords {which abound in this area} are a pain.
They have a high AC score making them hard to hit, and Turn Undead almost never
affects them at this level unless your Cleric is really close to them; you will
have to use Fireball spells and rest often.) After the battle take their gold,
soon a group of 4 Ancient Zombies approach from the west/southwest. Defeat them
and go north from the top of the Rhonglyn room to a wooden door; go through
into the keg room, you can rest and power up here. Exit and go south to the
exterior of the Rhonglyn room and bear southwest until you encounter 4 Skeleton
Lords, defeat them. After the battle head east and you will encounter 3
Skeleton Elders and a Skeleton Lord, defeat them too. Go and rest up again,
power up and head back to the entrance of the Rhonglyn Room. Go directly east
to a wooden door and open it. There are 2 Wraiths and a Master Wraith in this
room, send a sacrificial lamb (loaded with every beneficial and protective
spell you have) to activate the ambush by walking toward the equipment icon on
the floor, but keep the rest of your party back towards the door out of range
for when the battle begins in earnest. I used Emmeric (with the Warhammer of
Death) because of his more frequent double attack ability and restored him once
and healed him twice during battle while my mage’s exhausted their fireball
spells firing at such an angle as to avoid hitting Emmeric but still doing
damage to 2-3 enemies each round (mainly behind the attackers and into the far
corners of the room). The Wraiths were defeated with a couple Fireballs to
spare and my Paladin and Rogue contributed nothing to the battle, (though this
battle did bring my Rogue to Level 7). After the battle take the potions the
Wraith’s drop and the equipment on the floor.
Acquire: From Wraith’s room, Potion and Salve of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 20,
Pike +2 hit/damage, Small Shield +2 AC.
Go: Rest and power up, exit this room and go northwest; go through the first
wooden open doors to the northeast.

EVENT 61: Big Drunk Dwarf; Brewmaster’s Quest
Quest Notes: At the Brewer’s Shrine discovered in this event you receive a
Quest to recover the Onyx of the Richest Wort. The Wort is hidden in an
illuminated Giant Keg in a room located through the halls north of the Shrine.
Follow the steps of this Event to find the Onyx and complete this Quest.
Enemies: 16 Ancient Zombies, 2 Shambling Ghasts, 4 Ghasts, 4 Skeleton Lords.
Notes: Head northeast to an open door leading southeast, go through and pass by
undead lying on the ground; eventually you will find two reinforced chests.
When you touch the chests the undead get up and come after you, you must defeat
7 Ancient Zombies, then you can take the contents of the chests (one is
trapped). Exit to the hall and head northwest to a reinforced chest, open it
and you hear a spoken message from a brewmaster who says the Brewer’s Onyx has
been “hidden in the throat of one of our beloved children” . This gives you the
Onyx of the Richest Wort Quest. Head directly west to a closed wooden door,
open it and defeat 5 Ancient Zombies in this room. Exit through the northeast
door, head northwest to an open wooden door northeast, go through it and the
closed wooden door beyond it. Enter the metal doors to the northwest, continue
northwest to the first set of wooden double doors on the northeast wall and
enter them; there are 4 Ancient Zombies and a Shambling Ghast (not really any
tougher than a normal Ghast) to be defeated here. Exit the room and go
northwest to a broken wooden door, enter this room. Go through the wooden door
northwest and you will find the body of a dwarf and the Brewmaster’s Cudgel.
Take the cudgel and you will be ambushed by 4 Ghasts and a Shambling Ghast,
defeat them and take their gold; close and reopen the open chest in this room
to get some gold. Exit back to the metal doors and head northeast. As you
approach another set of wooden double doors you receive a message about a
dwarven rune of brewing. Enter this room and more undead ambush you from two
directions; you must defeat 4 Skeleton Lords, then take their gold and
Left-Click on the illuminated Giant Keg (middle one on the northwest wall of
this room). From this Keg you retrieve the Onyx of the Richest Wort and
complete the Quest of the same name.
Acquire: From 7 Ancient Zombies chests, Salve of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20,
Sorcerer’s Scroll of Dispel magic Level 10, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Bull’s
Strength Level 5, Salve of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20, Sorcerer’s Scroll of
Shield Level 5. From near body of dwarf, Brewmaster’s Cudgel, +1 hit/damage,
triple damage vs. undead. From illuminated Giant Keg, Onyx of the Richest Wort
+2 Con/Saving Throws, Spell Resistance +7, can cast 10 level 10 Neutralize
Poison Spells (Happily gave this to Emmeric).
Go: Rest and power-up here, exit through the northeast door, then go northwest
and you receive a message that giant creatures have moved through this area.

Event 62: Saving Private Grok
Curiosity Notes: Did you it is possible to save the Orc beset by Ancient
Zombies in the western Halls of Light? It’s true; and if you are successful you
will gain a nice experience bonus!
Enemies: 5 Ancient Zombies
Notes: From where you receive a message about the giant creatures heading
northwest until your reach a wooden door, enter and you will hear a poor Orc
being slaughtered by 5 Ancient Zombies. I felt so sorry for him! The first time
I fought this battle Grok survived the first assault but was killed in the
first round of normal combat; I thought that maybe I could save him so I loaded
and tried again. The next about 12 times Grok got killed in the first round (I
thought I had gone crazy) but I kept loading and eventually he again survived
the first round again; this time I got in and helped him, but when his turn
came at the end of the round his morale failed and while fleeing from battle he
was killed. I loaded at least 15 more times until he survived the first battle,
and I cast Haste (Using Dymon’s Dutiful Gauntlets) on my Cleric and melee
fighters before the battle, (hoping to get them into the room and close to the
action faster). By sending your fighters close to the Zombies to draw their
attention from Grok, and paralyzing the lot of them with Turn Undead it is
possible for Grok to survive this battle! I almost fell over when I saw that
all my characters got about 1500 exp for this battle! I don’t know what happens
to him afterward because this battle brought one of my characters up a level,
and by the time the pop-up screen was cleared, Grok was gone. I know that this
is not what most people want to spend an hour and a half doing, so I loaded and
let Grok die, then I killed the Ancient Zombies and took a paltry 70-80
experience so as to not skew the rest of the walkthrough by gaining experience
from an action most people won’t want to waste time on. But you can try it if
you want to! Take the gold the Zombies drop.
Go: After the battle exit the room and go northeast to an intersection.

EVENT 63: Meeting the Ormyrrs and Finding the Seal of Mythanthor
Quest Notes: In this event you will discover the Seal of Mythanthor.
Enemies:  2 Skeleton Knights, 3 Ancient Zombies, Skeleton Lord, 3 Orc
Sergeants, 2 Orc Warlocks, 5 Orc Shamans, 3 Orcs,  Orc Captain.
Notes: From the intersection go northwest through a set of trapped wooden
double doors, continue northwest and you encounter 3 Ormyrrs who will talk
about your stick legs. Tell Retha that you found a lone Ormyrr (Geb)
downstairs, then say you already cleared the room of Orcs. They tell you that
you can come and trade with them in the Sharpstick Room in the Deep Halls.
Perhaps we will return there later and see what they have to offer. For now,
exit this room and give the Ormyrrs time to clear out. Head back to the
intersection and go east to a wooden door, enter this room and you will join a
battle with 2 Skeleton Knights, 3 Ancient Zombies, and a Skeleton Lord vs. 2
Orc Sergeants (tough fighters) and an Orc Warlock (can cast fireball so take
him out quickly when you decide to engage). All creatures in this room are
hostile so destroy them and take their gold. Rest and power up, then return to
where the Ormyrrs were and enter the metal double doors behind where they
stood. To the east is a door that requires the Small Platinum Key, remember it
for later in this event when we find the key. Go directly north to another set
of metal doors, stand to the right of it and have your Rogue open it; inside
are 3 Orc Shamans (typical healer/Cleric spells) and an Orc Warlock that cannot
use magic because you are hiding and will be drawn out to you for easy killing.
Take their gold and go through the northeast door, then head northwest to a
smashed wooden door, approach to it’s right and send one person in to trigger a
battle with 2 Orcs, 3 Orc Sergeants, an Orc Captain (slightly tougher fighter)
and an 2 Orc Shamans. Try to attract them to the western door and battle them
there while sending Fireball Spells into the room. After the battle take the
Small Platinum Key they drop along with a pair of gauntlets and a salve. This
room contains the Seal of Mythanthor, mark it on your map so we can return here
later.
Acquire: From Seal of Mythanthor room, Small Platinum Key, Gloves of Steadiness
+2 hit (gave to Emmeric), Salve of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20.
Go: Head back to the metal doors we discovered that need the Small Platinum
Key, (rest and power up along them way).

Event 64: Small Platinum Key Rooms
Enemies: 4 Orcs, 11 Orc Sergeants, 2 Orc Witch Doctors, 4 Orc Shamans, Orc
Warlock.
Notes: Keep your party north of the doors as you open them with the Small
Platinum Key. This room contains a huge Orc army of 4 Orcs, 4 Orc Sergeants,
Orc Witch Doctor (can cast Charm Person, counter with Dispel Magic) and Orc
Shaman. A couple can use magic and some will use bows. Try to block the door
with melee fighters while your magic users hurl spells into the room. After the
battle take the enemy’s gold and go through the doors in the eastern corner of
the room. Head directly north to a wooden door, open it from the side and
defeat 2 Orc Shamans 4 Orc Sergeants spread out over two rooms. Take the
potions they drop; exit the first room from its northwest door, and hide beside
and open the wooden door north, across the hall. Here you will have to defeat
an Orc Witchdoctor, an Orc Shaman, an Orc Warlock, and 3 Orc Sergeants; use
established tactics. Take the healing potion they drop and open the two chests
on the southwest wall to get another Silver Platinum Key, a nice Hammer, some
arrows and some gold.
Acquire: From second group of Orcs, Potion and Salve of Cure Moderate Wounds
Level 10. From room of third group of Orcs, Potion of Cure Serious Wounds level
15; and from reinforced chest in same room, Small Platinum Key, Quiver of
Arrows +2 hit/damage, Hammer of Splintering +1 hit/damage, +3 hit and double
damage vs. humanoids (I gave to Cleric).
Go: Return to the first room you enter with a Small Platinum Key, rest and
power up here and then exit through the southeast door using the second Small
Platinum Key you found.

Event 65: Leraja’s Spear, Windswept Armor, Brewer’s Key
Enemies: 2 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, Lizardfolk Faith Healer, 4 Lizardfolk
Scavengers, 2 Lizardfolk Warriors, Lizardfolk Healer, Guard Arraccat, 3
Arraccats, 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 2 Lizardfolk Healers, Lizardfolk Warlord.
Notes: Go northeast from the platinum doors, enter the first wooden door on the
southeast side of the hall you enter. Hide to the side and open the northeast
door; you will have to defeat 2 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, a Lizardfolk Faith
Healer and 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers in this room. Take the potion they drop and
exit back to the hall. Head north to another wooden door and enter it, you must
defeat 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 2 Lizardfolk Warriors and a Lizardfolk Healer.
Exit the room and go northwest until you see a slightly bright brown brick area
on the northeast wall of this hall. Have your Rogue search the wall directly to
discover a hidden door, go through. Destroy the table in this room and you
receive a warning about a protective sigil on the wall. Have your Rogue
directly search the brown brick area behind the table to find another hidden
door, go through. Rest, then go through the northern metal doors; the air here
is hot and smells of unspecific beast. Go through the metal doors across the
hall to the northeast (note that you can pick up some common items on the floor
of this room), then go through the western door to the adjoining room. There
are two more weapons on the ground, one is a very nice spear you should save
for later in the game when you encounter Gargoyles. Open the chest to get some
gold then exit back to the hall. Surprise! You have to defeat 3 Arraccat and a
Guard Arraccat in this hall. Let them come to you at the door and fight them
one or two at a time while hurling Fireball spells through the door. You will
notice that the ones who can’t reach you will just kind of wander away, but you
can chase after them and they will come back when you get close enough. After
you finish them off exit back through the two secret doors, head southeast,
then go northeast at the next hall, and then southeast to a large intersection.
Go northeast and enter the wooden doors on the northwest wall, you will have to
defeat 3 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 2 Lizardfolk Healers and a Lizardfolk Warlord
(High HP, double attack, but very susceptible to magic attacks) in this room.
After the battle take the Windswept armor they drop (good against Gargoyles)
and take the Brewer’s Key. Head down the stairs and you arrive in the Halls of
Stone. Use the Brewer’s Key to open this room’s door, now go back upstairs.
Acquire: From first band of Lizardfolk, Potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level
20. Common items, 2 Long Swords, Large Shield. From adjoining room, Long Sword,
Leraja’s Spear, +2 hit/damage, +5 hit/damage vs. Gargoyles (had Emmeric hold
onto this for later). From Lizardfolk Warlord, Brewer’s Key, Windswept Armor +7
AC, +4 AC vs. Gargoyles (Gave to Emmeric).
Go: Rest here.

EVENT 66: The Waters of Life
Quest Notes: Nearby you will find the well described by Beriand in the Waters
of Life Quest. Defeat the Lizardfolk that guard this well, then have your party
members drink from the well to complete the Waters of Life Quest.
Enemies: 2 Lizardfolk Healers, Lizardfolk Faith Healer, Lizardfolk, Lizardfolk
Taskmaster, 2 Stone Lizardfolk.
Notes: The upcoming battle will be tough, power up with special focus on
enhancing and protecting your melee fighters. Exit the room and head south to
the exterior corner of a room, then go southwest and enter the wooden door on
the southeast wall (all four doors to these rooms have poison traps so have
your Rogue open them). There are 2 Lizardfolk Healers and a Lizardfolk Faith
Healer in this room, work on defeating them fast. In the second round you will
be ambushed by a Lizardfolk, a Lizardfolk Taskmaster, and 2 Stone Lizardfolk
(these are a pain; they are Immune to all magic, can do a lot of damage with
their double attacks and many weapons don’t work against them). Defeat the
lesser Lizardfolk first, then get your melee fighters to gang up on the Stone
Lizardfolk and use enhanced swords and knives to chisel away at them until they
are dead (you will probably have to keep healing your best melee fighters so
try to keep your Cleric close behind them and away from the Stone Lizardfolk).
Take the two healing items in this room and then have your party members drink
from the Waters of Life in the well in this room. This completes the Waters of
Life Quest.
Acquire: From Lizardfolk Healers, Potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20 and
Salve of Cure Serious Wounds Level 20.

through and defeat 2 Orog Hunters, an Orog Veteran and an Orog Guardsman. This
battle brought my first Sorcerer to Level 7; I gave her Charm, Blindness and
Lightning Bolt, she can now cast 4 magic missiles per round. Take the items
dropped by the Hunters and open the chest in this room to get an initiative
enhancing amulet. Rest, power-up and then exit through the southeast door. Go
east to an encounter with 3 Orog Hunters. After you defeat them the battle
expands to include 2 Orogs, 2 Orog Guardsmen, and an Orog Veteran. This victory
brought my Paladin to Level 7. Take the gold dropped by the hunters, then go

this room and exit the door southeast. Go southwest to the wall and then bear
west to a patch of brown brick. Search the brick to discover a secret door,
there is another one directly north. From the southern secret door go east to
an encounter with a Cult Mage, 2 Orog Hunters, 2 Orogs and an Orog Guardsman.

Cleric to Level 7; some of her new power-up spells include Freedom of Movement
(increases range in battle) and Divine Power (improves fighting ability of the
Cleric), she can now neutralize poison and cast restoration as well; her two
new battle spells are Poison and Inflict Critical Wounds. Go east to the
external corner of a room, then north to a set of metal doors, enter them. In
this room you must defeat 4 Skeleton Lords and 2 Skeleton Knights; notice that
the Cleric’s Turn Undead skill has grown more powerful. The chests in this room
contain gold and an AC improving ring. Head down the stairs and you arrive in a
sealed room in the Main Halls; here you can find a dagger and the Lockpick used

stairs behind them, they will not stop you. You have arrived on the Ground
Floor of the House of Gems Tower, the Room of Words is on the third floor. On
this floor you must defeat 4 Skeleton Lords. Climb the stairs on the western
side of the room; on the Upper Floor you must defeat 3 Soulless Orog (they have
a lot of HP but shouldn’t be too hard to kill at your current level). After the
battle you should rest and power-up before proceeding to the third floor of the
tower, the Room of Words, via the western staircase. There are 3 Cult Mages on
the top floor; simply get your melee fighters up close to them and you will

the Seal of Mythanthor to enter the Speculum Grounds and complete the Seal of
Mythanthor Quest.
Enemies: 3 Lizardfolk Warriors, 2 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, Lizardfolk Scavenger.
Notes: Head back to Nottle’s Cell in the Deep Halls; refer to Event 48 for
details on where he is (northeast of the Deep Halls Rhonglyn room). Use the Key
of Dumathoin to open his cell and when he starts talking, tell him you’re
interested three times to get the Cold Knight Quest. While still in the Deep
Halls, head for the Sharpstick room you cleared out in Event 46. The Ormyrrs
you met in the Halls of Light (Event 63) have made it back to their home. Retha
offers to trade; tell them you want to trade, then examine their merchandise;
they have a couple of nice items you can buy such as the Jaws of Malice and the
Thundergrip Gauntlets. Now return to the furnace for burning Evil Books (Pyre
of Silence) you found in Event 42, it is in the hall west of the Huge Well on a
stone X in the eastern Deep Halls. Right click and select “Place Vile,
Iron-Bound Tome three times; the third book asks you twice to take it from the
flames, don’t listen to it, let it burn or your characters will suffer. Burning
all three books completes the Tomes of Evil Quest. Go back to the Halls of
Light via the staircase at the extreme northern tip of the Deep Halls map (you

of Mythanthor (found in Event 63) in the far northwest Halls of Light (rest and
power-up along the way). As you draw close to the Seal on Mythanthor the
Calling Word is spoken and the ancient portal is unsealed; you pass to the open
air of the City Heights; this completes the Seal of Mythanthor Quest.

you want to return to the Halls of Light, Left-Click on the base of this
statue. Behind the statue is an army made up of 2 Orc Sergeants, 4 Orcs, and 2
Orc Witch Doctors. Engage them from where you are and destroy them; two
fireballs are all it should take. Sift through the items they drop and go
through the door they were in front of to return to the Hall of Wizards; note
that you can sleep here safely and use the Rhonglyn device you discovered
earlier. Speak to Caalenfaire and Volun, interrupt them, ask about the Cult
Mistress, ask about the backwards key and read the message boxes backwards, ask

of this slope to go to the Windrider Glade.

EVENT 75: Odelinde; Freeing the Temple of Shaundukal
Quest Notes: Meeting Odelinde the golden serpent in Windrider Glade and then
freeing her home, the Temple of Lord Shaundukal, from the Orcs who have
befouled it, will complete the Guardian’s Tale Quest. Speaking to Odelinde
about Anorrweyn Evensong will advance the Memory’s Whiplash Quest. Ask Odelinde
for tales of the city surface and you will receive The Helm Cleaver Quest, the
Hungry Idol Quest, the Thirsty Ground Quest, the Stone Mouth Quest, and the
Whispering Wind Quest.
Enemies: 2 Orc Sergeants, an Orc Captain, an Orc Shaman, an Orc Warlock, 2
Orog, Orog Guardsman.
Notes: As you enter the Windrider Glade you meet Odelinde the golden serpent.
Ask her who and what she is, ask who or what Shaundukal is, tell her you were
sent by Caalenfaire to seek her aid, ask about Harldain Ironbar and then ask
her what the problem is. She informs you that Orcs have taken over her home,
the Temple of the Lord Shaundukal, and raised an idol to Gruumsh, bringing up
an evil pool. Ask how you can help and she asks you to destroy the idol of
Gruumsh so that the Spawn Pool will retreat. Head west to a set of stairs, then
go north and you must defeat 2 Orc Sergeants, an Orc Captain, an Orc Shaman, an
Orc Warlock, 2 Orog and an Orog Guardsman; concentrate on getting rid of that
Warlock first or you will be blown to bits by his magic. After the battle
destroy the idol and the Spawn Pool retreats to the Pool of Radiance, this
completes the Guardian’s Tale Quest. Once the idol is destroyed Odelinde
appears and casts a spell that rests and heals your party. Ask about the
blueglow moss, ask her if the spawn pool was a Pool of Radiance, ask how the
Orcs got to her shrine, ask where you can find Harldain Ironbar, ask what can
be done to stop the spawn pools, ask where the Mythal came from, ask who could
restore the Mythal, ask where Anorrweyn Evensong can be found, finally, ask
where to find treasure. Odelinde ends the conversation at this point but you
should examine the items dropped by the Orcs and then speak to her again to get
some more Quests. Ask Odelinde for tales of the dungeons until she will speak
no more about it. Ask Odelinde for tales of the city surface until she will
speak no more about it and you will receive: The Helm Cleaver Quest, the Hungry
Idol Quest, the Thirsty Ground Quest, the Stone Mouth Quest, and the Whispering
Wind Quest. Ask Odelinde for tales of the catacombs until she will speak no
more about it. Go northeast of the shrine to a set of steps and you will be
ambushed by 2 Orc Warlocks and an Orc Captain (can cast blindness; try to
approach the steps from a southerly direction to avoid being hit by enemy magic
in the first round); this is a tough battle, get your melee fighters up close
to the enemy to keep them from casting. Search the chest they guarded, then
return to Odelinde for healing (from now on you can get healing here at any
time).
Acquire: From Orcs at Temple, Scimitar +2 hit/damage; Sorcerer’s Scroll of
Bull’s Strength Level 10. From chest, Firemeet Ceremonial Key, Idolon.
Go: From the bottom of the steps head east to a stone walkway, cross it and

EVENT 76: Finding Eadred, the Cold Knight
Quest Notes: In the northeastern Glim Gardens you will find the Tomb of Eternal
Sleep where Eadred, a frozen stiff Level 8 Paladin, waits to join your party.
Have him join you (whether briefly or permanently) to complete the Cold Knight
Quest.
Enemies: 4 Ghouls, 7 Shambling Ghasts, 8 Skeleton Lords, 3 Ancient Zombies, 5
Skeleton Knights, 4 Ghasts.
Notes: You have arrived in the Glim Gardens. Head north and defeat a group of 4
Ghouls and 2 Shambling Ghasts. Take the gold they drop and head northwest and
defeat 2 Skeleton Lords, 3 Ancient Zombies and a Shambling Ghast. This victory
brought Jarial to Level 8, I gave him 1 point of Charisma and the Confusion
Spell (acts like Turn Undead on living creatures; combined with the Power
Attacks of the Paladin and Fighter, this can really speed up battles; USE THIS
SPELL CONSTANTLY). If you need to heal in this area, there is a patch of
Blueglow moss northeast of here. Take the gold they drop and head east from the
site of the battle to a set of stone steps, then go southeast and engage and
defeat a large army of 5 Skeleton Lords and 5 Skeleton Knights (Turn Undead
will destroy the Knights and hold the Lords making this battle easy). Head
north and defeat 4 Shambling Ghasts. Head east and defeat 2 Skeleton Lords and
4 Ghasts. Take the gold they drop and enter the wooden doors  to the north. You
will enter a crypt with a man standing behind a sword; when you Left-Click the
sword you receive a message of warning from Eadred saying not to touch the
sword unless you are willing to take his place. Have one your party members
touch the sword to have Eadred join you, thus completing the Cold Knight Quest.
Ask him what just happened, tell him you are fighting the Cult of the Dragon,
ask who he is and how he came to be here. At this point you can take Eadred
with you if you like, he is a Level 8 Paladin; or you can ask if he is willing
to return to the crypt. I did not take him along because I already had a
Paladin who had a base HP of 134 as opposed to Eadred’s 72. To return him to
the crypt, have him take the sword. By the way, you could be mean and take his
armor and gauntlets with you before you leave. Also note that you should have
Emmeric grab the sword so that when Eadred joins you he will take the orange
slot and the color order of your characters will not be changed (if Eadred
leaves Emmeric returns to the orange slot).
Go: Rest and power up here, then head back to the stone steps you spotted
earlier.

EVENT 77: Dwarven Ruins-Ancient Tomb (DWARVEN RUINS-ANCIENT TOMB MAP)
Quest Notes: You will find the Stone Mouth in a dungeon beneath a coffin
platform in the Glim Gardens, this progresses the Stone Mouth Quest.
Enemies: 2 Master Shadows, 3 Spectres, 2 Ghasts, 4 Skeleton Lords, Master
Spectre, Dark Naga, 3 Orc Rogues.
Notes: Go southwest of the stone steps, around the raised platform with a
coffin, and have your characters walk out onto the tiles surrounding the
coffin; they will fall into a new dungeon. Head through the northeast open
wooden door, then go up the northeast hall and at the next intersection
approach the wooden door north. When you open the door you will be ambushed by
2 Master Shadows, a Spectre and 2 Ghasts. Have Jarial cast Halt Undead on the
Master Shadows and Spectre as soon as possible, then use all the established
methods (especially Searing Light, Fireball and Lightning Bolt) to get through
this battle. Afterward open the chest and you receive the Stone Mouth that will
translate the Gargoyle Language; this progresses the Stone Mouth Quest. You can
rest here and power up before proceeding. Exit and go southeast to the hall,
then northeast to the next intersection. Head up the northwest hall and at the
end of the hall go directly north and you will enter a hall bearing northeast.
Go through the metal doors in this hall and defeat 4 Skeleton Lords. Close and
reopen the open chest in this room to get an Idolon. Exit and go southwest to
the clearing, then southeast to a hall that runs east; head down this hall to
an intersection and then bear northeast until you reach a northeast wall with
light and dark areas behind a wooden door. Open this door and enter the light
room; close the chest and you are attacked by a Master Spectre from the dark
room. You can Halt it, but it may not work the first time; destroy it and the
darkness clears. This battle brought Emmeric to Level 8, I gave him 1 point to
Strength. On the table in the dark room you will find the Singing Word, which
you automatically learn when you take the scroll it is written on. Rest and
power-up, then exit to the hall go southeast to three barrels, then go
southwest until you see a wooden door on the southeast wall. Stand directly in
front of the door and have your Cleric use her Miner’s Shield of
Invulnerability to cast Minor Globe of Invulnerability. Now open the door to
reveal a Dark Naga (like Preybelish). The chance to hit more than one person is
too tempting for the Dark Naga; he will keep firing Lightning Bolts that you
are immune to while you return the compliment with Fireballs and Searing Light.
You don’t even have to move from your current position to defeat him. After
them battle enter the room and examine the strange contents of the two chests.
Search the northeast wall of this room to find a secret door, go through and
open the reinforced chest in the secret room to find two very nice items. Exit
to the hall and go northeast; at the intersection go north to a fallen square
pillar, then east to several fallen wooden beams then north to a Glyph of Song.
Enter the room northwest, rest and power-up, then go through the metal doors at
the end of the hall to transition to the Halls of Stone. As soon as you arrive
you must defeat 2 Spectres. Afterward, take the healing items they drop and
open the wooden chest on the northeast wall to find another nice set of armor.
Exit through the southeast door (opening another Glyph of Song), go southwest
to the remains of undead, then go up the northwest hall and open another Glyph
of Song. Enter the southwest room and you encounter 3 Orc Rogues; defeat them
using conventional tactics and take the weapons of Hextor they drop.

the north wall and you will return to the Glim Gardens. From here return to the
base of the stone steps north of the gaping hole where the stone coffin used to
be.

Event 78: Clearing the area Outside the House of Gems
Enemies: 3 Margoyles, Gargoyle, 9 Skeleton Lords, 8 Shambling Ghasts, 13
Ghasts, 9 Ancient Zombies,
Notes: Go up the north stairs, then west, and at the top platform go northeast
and you will encounter 3 Margoyles and a Gargoyle (try using Leraja’s Spear and
the Windswept Armor against these Mar/Gargoyles). You can use damaging spells
like Fireball as usual, but also use Confusion to paralyze some of them to make
your job much easier. Go up the northeast slope and you will receive a message
about approaching the House of Gems. Left-Click on the interface zone between
the two pillars to transition to Outside the House of Gems. Go northeast to a
tree and wait for a group of 4 Skeleton Lords and a Shambling Ghast to approach
from the west, defeat them and go north. Eventually you will encounter 4 Ghasts
and 3 Ancient Zombies, defeat them and head west to a broken tower. Go
southwest and enter the darkened alcove beneath the tower, here you must defeat
3 Skeleton Lords. After the battle open the chest they guarded and you will
find a Talisman Staff. Notice that you can sleep in this alcove and recover,
but remember to travel the surface only during the day. Go directly south of
the chest and you will encounter and have to defeat 5 Ghasts and 2 Ancient
Zombies. This victory brought my first Sorcerer to Level 8, I give her +1 to
Charisma and also gave her the Minor Globe of Invulnerability spell. Take the
gold dropped by the undead and make a note of the Broken Statue, you will
return here much later in the game. Exit this courtyard through the passage
northwest, then head west once you pass the 2 broken pillars. Eventually you
will come to a fenced area where 2 Shambling Ghasts and 2 Ancient Zombies feast
on the carcass of an Ormyrr, defeat them. After the battle go west and defeat 3
more Shambling Ghasts near an anvil. This brought my Paladin to Level 8; I gave
him +1 to Str. Take the shield dropped by the Ghasts; notice that you can sleep
in the sheltered room adjacent to and north of the anvil area. Head southeast
from the steps before the anvil and you will come across and have to defeat 2
Skeleton Lords, 2 Ancient Zombies and 2 Ghasts. This battle brought my Cleric
to Level 8, I gave her +1 to Wis. Take the gold dropped by these undead and
head southeast to a confrontation with 2 Ghasts and 2 Shambling Ghasts. After
the battle go south to the tree and head northeast to the front door of the
House of Gems.
Acquire: From alcove chest: Talisman Staff, +2 Wis/Cha. From Ghasts near anvil,
Stalwart Shield +3 Fortitude saving throws, +1 AC.
Go: Use one of the sleeping places you discovered in this area, then return to
the front door of the House of Gems and power-up.

EVENT 79: The House of Gems (HOUSE OF GEMS MAP)
Quest Notes: You will find Harldain Ironbar on the upper floor inside the House
of Gems but he cannot speak to you. An evil totem drawing a Spawn Pool to
pollute the city’s water supply has to be removed first. Defeat the Arraccat
guarding the Spawn Pool and free the woman murdered to serve as the totem, this
completes the Hearbeat Quest and bestows the Ashes Burning Quest to find the
woman’s companions. Afterward, speak to Harldain Ironbar to receive the
Starstone for the Wizard’s Torc (advances the Stars Below Quest). You will also
be given a Quest to seek out and free the four remaining Orrery planets, this
is The Planets Above Quest.
Enemies: Dwarven Statue, 2 Margoyles, 5 Arraccat, Black Arraccat.
Notes: Go through the front door to the House of Gems and you will immediately
encounter a giant Dwarven Statue (like the Lifespring Guardian, except now you
have to defeat it yourself). Offensive magic will be no use here, use sharp
weapons, like swords, knives or spears because most blunt weapons have no
effect. Keep your best melee fighters forward while your mages use healing
salves and your Cleric casts its healing spells. Set/Line your people up close
to the door in the first round and let the Dwarven Statue come to you. After
the battle open the chest and take the Gnarled Copper Key and the Axe of the
Phoenix. Have your people bunch up against the fortified door to the northeast,
then open the door and send your Rogue alone across the room to the doorway on
the other side. You will notice that the room you have passed through was
trapped. Open the chest in the room through the doorway and take the House of
Gems Passkey. Now Right-Click on the Oddly Shaped Keyhole on the northwestern
pillar of the open doorway and select “Place Passkey”. Have the rest of your
party cross in safety and go up the southeast staircase. In the room you have
just entered is a dwarven ghost; try to speak to him and then go through the
southwest door to go back outside. Head southwest on the walkway and eventually
you will encounter and have to defeat two Margoyles. Go northeast up the next
walkway and when you come to a curved wooden walkway follow it west, then go
down two sets of steps and you will enter a battle with 3 Arraccats; in the
second round an Arraccat and a Black Arraccat (very high AC but still
vulnerable to magic) approach from the northwest. Defeat all the Arraccats then
approach the woman skewered to the wall near the Spawn Pool and you learn that
she is a totem of evil drawing the pool to this location. Remove the sword from
the Sister of the Silver Fire and she is reclaimed by her Goddess, the Spawn
Pool retreats and you receive a powerful sword, the Flame Blade. This action
brought my Rogue to Level 9. Return and speak to Harldain Ironbar; to get the
most out of the conversation, ask what he is talking about, ask what the City
Spires are (he frees the Blue Stone you took from the Orc Leaders before
entering the Main Halls), ask why he wants the spires restored, ask where a
Planet might be found, ask about Ualair the Silent, ask about the circle of
Ualair, ask where the circle is, ask about something else, ask about who built
the traps, ask why they are there, ask about the dwarven hoard, ask where the
hoard is, ask how he became a ghost, ask if he knows much about the city, and
finally ask him about the Pool of Radiance. Harldain offers to trade with you
and he restores the Starstone to the Wizards Torc, this will allow you to enter
the Catacombs through the Circle pf Ualair in the amphitheatre west of the Hall
of Wizards. Through speaking with Harldain you have advanced the Star’s Below
Quest and have been given The Planets Above Quest to find 5 Orrery planets (you
already found the blue one) so the Spinning Spires will function again.
You can now trade with Harldain for several interesting items such as the
Shield of House Starym, Lancer’s Guard, Ildacer’s Satin Gloves (great for
Sorcerers), Ranman’s Meditations (Excellent Enhancement for Monks) and
Olortynnal’s Heartmail, (+5 Damage vs. Dragonkind).
Acquire: From Dwarven Statue’s chest, Axe of the Phoenix +4 hit, +2 damage,
weighs almost nothing. From staircase room chest, House of Gems Passkey. From
destroying evil totem, Flame Blade, +3 hit/damage, can cast 5 level 15
Flamestrike Spells (I gave to Cleric).
Go: Trade as you like, then rest and power-up. Go downstairs.

EVENT 80: The Helm Cleaver (HALLS OF LIGHT MAP)
Quest Notes: On the bottom floor of the House of Gems Tower you will meet a
group of Orogs who ask you to help them recover the Helm Cleaver from their
Cult masters. Agree to do so then head into the Halls of Light and help them
defeat the cult in the room behind the Glyph of Claw. Battle their champion to
win the Helm Cleaver, this completes the Helm Cleaver Quest.
Enemies: 2 Cult Mages, Cult Archmage, 4 Cult Soldiers, Orog Champion.
Notes: Head through the fortified door northeast to reenter the House of Gems
Tower; immediately you encounter an Orog Chieftain who wishes to parley. Agree
to parley, ask to hear more about attacking the cult, ask about the great Helm
Cleaver, ask to hear more about the mistress, ask who gets to keep the Helm
Cleaver, agree to collaborate; the translator tells you to look for the Orogs
guarding door with the mark of the Dragon Claw in the Halls of Light, together
you will defeat the Cult members who have the Helm Cleaver. Head down the steps
into the Halls of Light. Exit through the southwest door and go west to a set
of metal doors; pass through the room, exit the metal doors on the opposite
side, head north to 4 pillars, west to an intersection, southwest to the wall
and northwest to the group of Orog. Ask how many enemies there are and ask how
to unseal the door; they will teach you the Dragon Word. Head northwest to the
Glyph of Claw and the Word of the Dragon is spoken. Go through the doors and
enter the room southwest to begin the battle for the Helm Cleaver. You must
help the Orogs defeat 2 Cult Mages, 4 Cult Soldiers (good fighters) and a Cult
Archmage (has wider range of Sorcerer’s spells like chain lightning). I
completed this battle by having Jarial cast Confusion to incapacitate the
soldiers, then I got my melee fighters close to the mages so that when they
cast their spells the fighters would cut them down. This was very effective and
kept all the Orog alive and undamaged by the party’s spells. However, if the
Cult members move before you do they will get mixed in with the crowd and will
be hard to target as a group; in this case use Fireball to take out the mages
and keep your warriors up front to fight the soldiers hand to hand. After the
battle stand still and 3 Orog Veterans approach from the southeast, ask what
the Helm Cleaver is, ask what the rules of the duel are, agree to the duel of
Champions. Go southeast and stop in front of an open door, heal and power-up
your best fighter and send it in. I sent my Paladin in. The Orog champion stays
tucked in a corner in the south part of the room, move close but not in attack
range during the first round, then approach and attack in the second (this
gives you the first strike). It took my Paladin 3 hits with the Halberd of
Vigilance, (1 in the first round, 2 in the second) to finish off the champion.
After the battle the Orog approach, ask them where the cult leaders are, ask
where you can find treasure, ask them to join you against the cult; at this
point, if you tell them to keep the Helm Cleaver you receive Gloves of the
Archmage (+4 AC, +1 Int) but you don’t get credit for the Helm Cleaver Quest;
if you ask for the Helm Cleaver you receive it and complete the Helm Cleaver
Quest. Head northwest back to the scene of the battle, then north and open
Archmage’s two chests and take at least the Stronghold Key and the Idolon. Go
back the scene of the battle, go through the wooden door west, exit the next
room through the Glyph of Claw door southwest. In the northern clearing of this
room you will find a door that needed the Cold Brass Key, west you will find
the room with the staircase back to the Halls of Stone. From the top of the
staircase exit through the southwest door, go through the southeast door of the
next room, head straight south to a set of metal doors and open them with the
Stronghold Key.
Acquire: From duel, Helm Cleaver +4 hit/damage, +3 Str (I gave to Emmeric).
From Archmage’s chests, 2 Potions of Heal Level 20, Stronghold Key, Idolon,
Sorcerer’s Scroll of Bull’s Strength Level 10.
Go: Though the northwest door, then head southwest to the Rhonglyn device, use
it to travel to the Deep Halls (Red). Exit the Rhonglyn room and go
counterclockwise around it to the top of the room. Head northeast and enter the
room where Nottle’s prison was, then rest and power-up.

EVENT 81: The Water Bells (DEEP HALLS MAP, HALLS OF LIGHT MAP, SURFACE MAP)
Quest Notes: You will discover a magic portal behind the Glyph of Claw door in
the Deep Halls. Go through the portal, defeat 4 Arraccat on the other side and
take the Splashing Word they guard. This action bestows and completes the
Enter, Friend Quest. Open the three Glyphs of Water spread throughout the Deep
Halls and the Halls of Stone. In each you must fight undead to reclaim a
Waterbell (after claiming the first one you get the Watersong Quest); after you
have all 3, return to the Glim Gardens and give them to the naiad in the City
Fountain to complete the Watersong Quest.
Enemies: 2 Cult Soldier Elites, Cult Quartermaster, 2 Cult Mages, 4 Arraccat,
4 Spectres, 4 Master Shadows, 2 Shadows, 3 Shambling Ghasts, 3 Master Spectres,
2 Wraiths.
Notes: From Nottle’s prison Cell approach the Glyph of Claw door (from the
western side to avoid line of sight) and open the door. Here you must defeat 2
Cult Soldier Elites (somewhat better fighters then normal soldiers), a Cult
Quartermaster (Very High AC means hard to hit, but still vulnerable to magic)
and 2 Cult Mages. I blocked the door and used 2 Fireball Spells to take out
everyone but the Quartermaster, who took an extra round to finish off. As you
enter the room you are given the Enter, Friend Quest to go through the magic
purple portal the cult was guarding. Step through and on the other side you
must defeat 4 Arraccat. Take the gold they drop and then pick up the Splashing
Word scroll in the eastern area of the room, this teaches you the word to open
the Water Glyph doors and completes the Enter, Friend Quest. There are 2 rooms
in the Deep Halls and one in the Halls of Stone that can be opened with the
Splashing Word. First, go back through the portal, then head to the Water Glyph
door in the eastern Deep Halls, near the Pyre of Silence (this door was found
in Event 42, you can rest here before proceeding). As you approach the
Splashing Word unseals the Glyph of Water and triggers a confrontation with 3
Spectres. They will spread apart during battle if the Glyph of Water door is
blocked, making it hard to halt them, so just use your Fireball Spells. After
the battle, take the gold they drop and rest. Go through the northwest room and
open the metal doors, this triggers a battle with 2 Master Shadows and a
Shadow, use Halt or Turn Undead (can kill the Shadow and halt the Master
Shadows) then finish them off). After 2 rounds you will be ambushed by 2 more
Master Shadows and a Shadow, defeat them all and you are given the Watersong
Quest to find out the purpose of the Waterbells, take the Waterbell they drop.
Now head for the next Water Glyph, it is in the northwest Deep Halls near the
cooking meat room found in Event 41. Pass through the metal doors in the first
room and you set off a battle with 3 Shambling Ghasts and a Spectre. Defeat
them and go through the northwest door, head down the southwest hall and open
the wooden door in this area. Here you must defeat 2 Master Spectres (Remember
to Halt them); take the Waterbell in the reinforced Chest. Rest, now exit this
area and return to the Halls of Stone, then head for the next Water Glyph door
(you found it near the Lizardfolk of Malgi Hi in Event 53; get there quickly by
taking the Soot-Coated Key stairs up, then the Brewer’s Key Stairs down). 
Enter the door and head west to a message about an unfriendly chill, then go
northwest and you can rest in the room on the northeast side of the hall.
Afterward cross the hall and open the opposing metal doors; you can get two
weapons from the chests in this room. Exit to the hall and go northwest, at the
intersection go west and enter the metal doors. Take the gold in the two chests
by the well and you will be ambushed by a Master Spectre and 2 Wraiths, defeat
them to get another Waterbell. Cross to the southern Halls of Stone and exit to
the Glim Gardens through the staircase behind the more western Glyph of Song
door (rest then exit). Back on the surface head south to a dirt path, then
follow the path southwest to the City Fountain. As you approach you are greeted
by the voice of Plinshree the naiad, ask who and what she is, close your ears
against the song, tell her you found her waterbells, and finally, tell her you
will give her the waterbells. Right-Click and select “Place Pale Blue Chime”
three times; you will receive a special item each time you place a bell into
the well. After they are restored you must speak to the Naiad again, tell her
you can’t swim all that well, and you will complete the Quest and receive the
final item. This brought Jarial to Level 9, I gave him See Invisibility,
Displacement and Improved Invisibility.
Acquire: From Arraccat room, Splashing Word. From Master Shadows, first
Waterbell. From reinforced chest, second Waterbell. From Halls of Stone chests,
Blade of Venom, poison blade, +3 damage; Battleaxe +3 hit/damage. From wraiths,
third Waterbell. From Naiad, Dagger of Ritual +3 hit/damage, -2 Will saving
throws, +6 hit/damage vs. undead; Necklace of Odoacar +3 AC/saving throws,
Spell Resistance +10 (Gave to Emmeric, gave his Onyx of Richest Wort to first
Sorcerer); Ring of Calming +5 all saving throws (Gave to Paladin).
Go: Northeast to a Spinning Spire.

EVENT 82: Finding the Thirsty Ground (SURFACE MAP)
Quest Notes: In the southeastern Glim Gardens you will find the Thirsty Ground;
approach it to complete the Thirsty Ground Quest
Enemies: Orc Warlock, 4 Ancient Zombies, 7 Shambling Ghasts and 2 Orc
Sergeants, 8 Ghasts, 3 Margoyles, 2 Gargoyles, Ghoul.
Notes: From the Spinning Spire go east and you come across an Orc Warlock and 2
Orc Sergeants battling 4 Ancient Zombies and 2 Shambling Ghasts. All are
aggressive and must be killed. After the battle take their gold and go south to
a confrontation with 6 Ghasts, defeat them and take the healing items they
drop. Continue southeast and you will find the Thirsty Ground Odelinde
mentioned. Ask it about the Blood Lesson, the Blood Blessing and Fiona’s Kiss
of Life and then ask what the ground is thirsty for, then leave the thirsty
ground. Go east and defeat 4 Shambling Ghasts. Head west from the Thirsty
Ground and you come across 3 Margoyles and 2 Gargoyles fighting 2 Ghasts, a
Shambling Ghast and a Ghoul, all are hostile and must be destroyed.
Acquire: From Ghasts, salve and potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10. From
Gargoyles, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15.
Go: From the tree head southwest to a transitional staircase and use it.

EVENT 83: Ormyrr King Pujik; Green Orrery Planet
Quest Notes: You will find Ormyrr King Pujik in the southeastern Sully Marsh,
this gives you the Marsh King Quest. You can complete this Quest immediately by
killing Pujik because he is a usurper and a Cult collaborator. After the battle
you can free the Green Orrery Planet and advance The Planets Above Quest.
Enemies: 5 Ormyrrs, 6 Gargoyles, 2 Gargoyle Leaders, Pujik, 2 Ancient Zombies,
5 Shambling Ghasts, 2 Skeleton Lords, 2 Skeleton Knights.
Notes: As soon as you arrive in Sullymarsh you are attacked by 3 Ormyrrs. They
have high HP scores, but they are easy to hit and are vulnerable to Confusion
and Fireball and so should be very easy to kill at your current level. This
victory brought Emmeric to Level 9. If you need to heal up, there is a patch of
Blueglow moss east of the battle. Take the axe they drop and go southwest and
you will encounter and have to defeat 2 Gargoyles and a Gargoyle Leader (not
much harder to beat than a Gargoyle). After the battle go south to a tree, then
east and you will be welcomed by 2 Ormyrrs. Go east and you will meet their
King Pujik and receive the Marsh King Quest, notice the Spawn Pool? Pujik is a
usurper King working with the Cult, attack him immediately to gain an ambush
round in your favor. Use the same tactics as before to destroy him, this
completes the Marsh King Quest; this victory brought my Paladin, First Sorcerer
and Cleric to Level 9, I gave the Sorcerer Darkness, Halt Undead and Confusion.
The Cleric can now cast some better spells like Raise Dead, Spell Resistance
(add to power-ups before important battles), and Flamestrike (roughly
equivalent to Fireball but a slightly smaller area of effect). Take the items
dropped by Pujik and climb the stairs north; free the Green Orrery Planet from
its metal bonds to advance The Planets Above Quest. Head west and you encounter
2 thankful Ormyrrs; ask him to explain what happened, tell him you oppose the
Cult, ask him what “dragon things” are, ask to trade now, tell Flem you’ve been
in the dungeons, tell him you’ve been to City Heights (4 times), tell him
you’ve been in the southern areas (5 times), tell him you are going to the
Catacombs (6 times). Go west across a stone bridge, head southwest to a
Spinning Spire and defeat 2 Ancient Zombies and 3 Shambling Ghasts. Go
northwest to a bridge, cross it and you receive message about the history of
the bridge. On the other side you must defeat 4 Gargoyles and a Gargoyle
Leader, take the ring they drop. Go north from the bridge and defeat 2 Skeleton
Lords, 2 Skeleton Knights and 2 Shambling Ghasts feeding on a dead Gargoyle.
Take the gold they drop and notice the set of wooden doors to the Deep Halls,
you can use these to return to the Deep Halls if you need to. For now, head
back to where you defeated Pujik; after you cross the historic bridge you hear
a lament for Hachaam Selorn by a shady tree. You can now trade with the Ormyrrs
for some fairly standard items.
Acquire: From aggressive Ormyrr Handaxe +3 hit/damage. From Pujik, Small Shield
+2, Longspear +3. From second group of Gargoyles, Cerulean Ring +2 Wis.
Go: Back and cross the historic bridge, follow the dirt path west to a
transitional area between two stone walls; use it to reenter the Speculum
Grounds. Go west to a set of steps, at the top of the steps go northeast and
transition to Windrider Glade. Have Odelinde restore your party.

EVENT 84: Clearing Windrider Glade, Defeating the Tusk Lord
Quest Notes: Defeat the Tusk Lord and free the Red Orrery Planet he guards to
advance The Planets Above Quest.
Enemies: 12 Gargoyles 2 Gargoyle Leaders, 8 Margoyles, 2 Zombies, 2 Shambling
Ghasts, 2 Skeleton Lords, Tusk Lord.
Notes: Head west from the Spawn Pool fissure near Odelinde and you will come to
a group of 2 Gargoyles and 2 Gargoyle Leaders. Wingless babies? Are we in the
3rd grade; is that supposed to be an insult? What the heck did we bother
getting that Stone Mouth for? Kill these 4 and go downstairs; head southwest
and defeat 2 Gargoyles and a Margoyle. Take the dagger they drop and head
north, defeat 2 Gargoyles. Remember to go back to Odelinde if you need healing
in this area. Go west and defeat 4 Gargoyles and 3 Zombies battling each other.
Go northeast and you will find a door that leads down into the Halls of Light;
once there, open the metal doors to allow free passage, then head back up to
the surface. Go northeast from the Firemeet door and climb the wooden stairs
you come across. Here you must defeat 3 Margoyles; at the top of the steps open
the closed chest and you will be told that the Firemeet Banner has been pawed
by greedy hands. Go back downstairs and you will have to defeat 2 more
Margoyles, take the shield they drop. Go back to where you encountered the
Gargoyle Leaders; at the top of the stairs head south and you will encounter
and have to defeat 2 Shambling Ghasts and 2 Skeleton Lords. Follow the stone
path west until you see 3 Gargoyles, approach them and finally the Stone Mouth
comes in handy. When the Gargoyles speak, ask who the Great Ones are, ask who
the Tusk-Lord is, ask if the Tusk-Lord obeys the Cult, and finally, say you are
the Great Ones. Go and try to open the box they leave behind and the Tusk-Lord
approaches; after rambling on for a while he begins the battle. Use standard
tactics to defeat him, then take the Twisted Iron Key he possesses. Open the
box to release the Red Orrery Planet and advance The Planet’s Above Quest. Go
up the steps northwest then approach the raised drawbridge to the west, you are
told that you have been found lacking, but don’t fret, we will approach it from
the other side much later in the game. Go up the path northeast from this
circular clearing, you will come across 2 Margoyles and 2 Gargoyles feasting on
a stray Lizardfolk; defeat them and continue north. Soon you will find a blue
marker, touch it to lower the drawbridge back to Stillwater, you can now travel
between the two areas.
Acquire: From second group, Jeweled Dagger +2 hit/damage. From 2 Margoyles at
the bottom of the wooden steps, Ricimer’s Shield +1 AC, +3 hit.
Go: Have Odelinde restore your party then go back to the Statue of Mythanthor
in the Speculum Grounds area.

EVENT 85: Clearing the Speculum Grounds, The Circle of Ualair
Quest Notes: While searching the northern Speculum grounds you will find an
amphitheatre with a spiral pattern on the ground before it. Approach the spiral
pattern and the Wizard’s Torc opens the portal to the Catacombs; this completes
the Stars Below Quest.
Enemies: 3 Arraccat, 8 Orc Sergeants, 3 Orcs, Orc Warlock, 3 Margoyles, 4 Orc
Sergeants, Orc Captain, Orc Shaman, 2 Orcs, 2 Orc Witch Doctors, 7 Gargoyles.
Notes: Go west from the Statue of Mythanthor, then northwest from the leaning
tree; here you must defeat 3 Arraccat. Search the chest they guarded and head
southwest, soon you will encounter an army of 4 Orc Sergeants, 3 Orcs and an
Orc Warlock; defeat them and go north up the steps. At the top, (head east and
you can take a look at the Orrery), continue north and defeat the Margoyle
feasting on a Lizardfolk, take the bow he drops and go back down the stairs.
Head west. Eventually you will encounter an army of 4 Orc Sergeants, an Orc
Captain, an Orc Shaman, 2 Orcs and an Orc Witch Doctor; defeat them and take
the potion they drop. Go north and defeat 5 Gargoyles (this victory brought my
Rogue to Level 10). Go west and enter an amphitheatre, there are 2 Margoyles
and 2 Gargoyles here to be defeated; take the items they drop. Now approach the
spiral pattern (the Circle of Ualair) just before the amphitheatre and the
portal to the Catacombs opens, completing the Stars Below Quest. There is still
more to do on the surface so head southeast of the portal until you encounter
another Orc army made up of 4 Orc Sergeants and an Orc Witch Doctor. Defeat
them and utilize the Blueglow moss nearby if necessary. Go west from the
Blueglow moss until you reach a set of stairs. Go up the stairs and defeat 2
Margoyles, take their gold then follow the stone pathway west.
Acquire: From Arraccat chest, Dagger +2 hit/damage, 2 Potions of Heal Level 20.
Bow of Accuracy +5 Hit. From Orc army, Potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20.

Enemies: 4 Lizardfolk Warriors, a Lizardfolk Healer and a Lizardfolk
Taskmaster, 6 Gargoyles and 4 Margoyles, 3 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, 3 Lizardfolk
Warlords, Lizardfolk Faith Healer, Lizardfolk Scavenger.
Notes: Make the transition to the Nightingale Court and you will immediately be
confronted by 3 Lizardfolk Warriors, a Lizardfolk Healer and a Lizardfolk
Taskmaster. Brush them aside and continue west to the bottom of the pathway.
Follow the faded brownstone path west until you encounter 3 Gargoyles and 2
Margoyles ganging up on a Lizardfolk Warrior; the warrior will not be grateful
for this timely distraction so you will have to destroy them all. Go west and
you will find a door that cannot be opened. Follow the stone path back east,
then go north at the first intersection you come across. Head northwest at the
wall and you will hear tapping sounds coming from the mouth of the Great Stone
Head. Engage and destroy the group of 3 Lizardfolk Taskmasters, a Lizardfolk
Warlord and 2 Gargoyles; take their gold. Approach the Great Stone Head and
Right-Click on its mouth, select “Place Small Stone Head”; the Head gives you
back a ring. This action completes the Hungry Idol Quest. Here you can exchange
all the Idolons you have discovered and will discover; see the Idolon Location
List (Where to find the Idolons) and the Idolon Exchange List (All the rings
you can get for exchanging Idolons) for more information (both are in the
Curiosities section of the Reference guide at the end of this document). If you
need healing go north of the Head and you will find a patch of Blueglow moss.
Go up the stairs heading west (just north of the Head) and at the top head
south and destroy a group made up of a Gargoyle, 2 Margoyles, 2 Lizardfolk
Warlords, a Lizardfolk Faith Healer and 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers. Now go back to
the sturdy wooden doors at the top of the stairs and enter the Knight’s Cache.
You will have to fight 5 Arraccat to take control of this area. After the
battle, search through the reinforced chest.
Acquire: From Knight’s Cache, Small Shield +1, Light Mace +3 hit/damage,
Roderick’s Walking Stick, can fire 15 poisonous missiles.
Go: The Knight’s Cache is a good place to sleep while clearing out the rest of
the Nightingale Court. Rest and power up, then exit.

EVENT 87: Malgi Hi
Quest Notes: Find and defeat Malgi Hi in the eastern area of the Nightingale
Court to complete the God of Fire and Stone Quest. Release the Orange Planet
from the Lizardfolk Totem in the center of Malgi Hi’s camp to advance the
Planets Above Quest

Enemies: Lizardfolk Taskmaster, 7 Lizardfolk Warriors, 5 Lizardfolk Faith
Healers, Lizardfolk Warlord, Lizardfolk Taskmaster, Malgi Hi, 4 Stone
Lizardfolk.
Notes: From the Knight’s Cache head up the walkway north and defeat a
Lizardfolk Taskmaster, 2 Lizardfolk Warriors and 2 Lizardfolk Faith Healers.
From this battle follow the pathway east until you encounter a group of 2
Lizardfolk Warriors, 2 Lizardfolk Faith Healers and a Lizardfolk Warlord;
defeat them and take their gold, then continue east. Take the first flight of
steps you find heading south, follow it and you will hear a threatening human
voice. First you must defeat 3 Lizardfolk Warriors, a Lizardfolk Taskmaster and
a Lizardfolk Faith Healer using established tactics; during the battle, try to
move at least some of your people south to the entrance of the camp so that
they will be ready for an upcoming ambush. Immediately following the battle
Malgi Hi approaches from the camp to the south, 4 Stone Lizardfolk assist him.
You top priority is getting rid of Malgi Hi as soon as possible, just get your
melee fighters up close to him to prevent him casting spells (he has a high
magic resistance so spells won’t be of much help). The Stone Lizardfolk are
immune to magic so keep your magic users behind the lines using healing salves
while your fighters take care of the battle. Victory in this battle completes
the God of Fire and Stone Quest. Search the magic items dropped after the
battle and go south into the camp; open the reinforced chests and you will find
a ring and some gold. Right-Click on the Lizardfolk Totem and select “Release”
to send the Orange Planet back to the Orrery and advance the Planets Above
Quest. You can sleep in the camp before proceeding.
Acquire: From Malgi Hi, Wand of Hold Person level 10, 2 charges; Potion of
Healing Level 20, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Finger of Death level 20. From the
reinforced chest, Ring of Relinquishment +4 hit/damage/AC, 80% Arcane Spell
Failure, only Sorcerers can wear.
Go: Head north from the camp and you will find a door that leads back to the
Lizardfolk Tunnel, take a quick trip inside to confirm this and then exit to
the surface again.

EVENT 88: The Ear of the City
Quest Notes: Find the Ear of the City in the center of the Nightingale court;
approach and speak to it to complete the Whispering Wind Quest.
Enemies: 3 Stone Lizardfolk, Lizardfolk Geomancer, Lizardfolk Taskmaster, 2
Lizardfolk Healers, 2 Lizardfolk Scavengers, 6 Lizardfolk Warriors.
Notes: From the door to the tunnel follow the faded brownstone path southwest
then head northwest into the stone ruins when you find them. Pass through
several rooms and you will encounter 3 Stone Lizardfolk and a Lizardfolk
Geomancer. Get close to the Geomancer and take him out first, then used
established tactics to defeat the Stone Lizardfolk. Head southwest and you will
encounter and have to defeat a Lizardfolk Taskmaster, 2 Lizardfolk Healers, a 2
Lizardfolk Scavengers and 2 Lizardfolk Warriors. After the battle you will be
spoken to by the column in the middle of the circular clearing. This is the Ear
of the City and finding it completes the Whispering Wind Quest. Ask what the
column is, say you are not citizens of the city, ask what treasures it knows
about, ask about a necklace or ring, ask about a wand or scroll, ask about a
weapon or armor, ask to hear both stanzas at once. (When you want more
information about treasure, return and speak to the Ear at any time). Take the
potion dropped by the Lizardfolk and head southwest; defeat 4 Lizardfolk
Warriors gathered around a Gargoyle carcass, take the special dagger they drop.
Acquire: From Lizardfolk guarding the Ear, potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level
20. From 4 warriors, Obsidian Edge +3 hit/damage, Spell Resistance +7 (Gave to
Jarial, the spell resistance of all my party members is now from 5-10).
Go: Back to the Knight’s Cache and sleep, then exit and go to the Blueglow
moss, power-up.

EVENT 89: The Shrine of Mystra
Quest Notes: Defeating the 3 Dark Naga who have taken over the Shrine of Mystra
in this area and destroying their totem completes the Memory’s Whiplash Quest
and gives you The Faithful of Mystra Quest (find a token of a worshipper of
Mystra and return it to the shrine). Return to Beriand and Faeril and tell them
about the voice at the Shrine; Faeril can now come with you or you can just ask
for the Medallion of Mystra. Repeatedly speak to them about the Catacombs to
receive the Ammath Wizard Quest. Take the Medallion back to the Shrine and use
it on the altar to complete the Faithful of Mystra Quest. Speak to Anorrweyn to
receive the Dragonjaw Quest and The Bones of Time Quest.
Enemies: Gorgat, Skerndli, Kog, (the three Dark Naga); 4 Lizardfolk Warriors, 2
Lizardfolk Taskmasters, Lizardfolk Healer, Lizardfolk Faith Healer, Lizardfolk
Geomancer.
Notes: Go northeast from the Blueglow moss until you see a Dark Naga in the
distance, have a mage get closer to the Dark Naga and cast Minor Globe of
Invulnerability, then have your party get into the globe. From a distance
attack the Dark Naga and a conversation begins, ask who Kog is, ask about the
woman Kog silenced, shout the name of Mystra and the battle begins. The Globe
will protect your party from the Lightning attacks of the Naga, but you might
still be slain by the poison attack; use Raise Dead to bring back party members
killed in this manner. Use Fireballs and Flamestrikes to take out the Dark
Naga; using this strategy the battle will be very easy. After the battle
destroy the blockhead Naga’s Totem and the Spawn Pool retreats. This action
brought Jarial to level 10, and I was very happy to give him Cone of Cold.
Destroying the Totem completes the Memory’s Whiplash Quest and gives you the
Faithful of Mystra Quest. Claim the items that were in the chest near the
totem. As you try to leave you hear Anorrweyn’s voice calling out for a
worshipper of Mystra; now where have we met some of those? Enter the Lizardfolk
Tunnel through the door north of Malgi Hi’s camp and head for the door in the
Tunnel that leads back to Stillwater (refer to Event 40 for details on
navigating the Tunnel). Along the way you must defeat 3 Lizardfolk Warriors, a
Lizardfolk Taskmaster and a Lizardfolk Healer. Back in Stillwater go to the
tree house and speak with Beriand and Faeril. By telling them what you have
done you can gain some interesting background information about the game; tell
about meeting Harldain, tell about your talk with Preybelish, say you destroyed
Malgi Hi, ask about the Mythal, tell them about finding the Thirsty Ground,
tell how the Ormyrr King opposed you, tell about fighting gargoyles, say you
found the gargoyle Stone Mouth, tell about meeting Plinshree, tell about the
dark naga trio you killed, ask to hear their news, tell about the woman crying
for Mystra, ask to hear more about Beriand’s vision. You may at this point
decide to take Faeril (Level 9 Cleric, Level 5 Fighter) into your party or you
can take only the Medallion of Mystra. Keep in mind that Faeril will never be
as good a Cleric as the one you already have in your party in time for the
final confrontation of the game, her wisdom is a little low and she has a very
high experience level that will make it hard to max out her Cleric Levels. Keep
in mind that the party member you leave behind will not be there later to
rejoin you. Note that taking Faeril with you will disturb the plot a bit.
Warnings aside, if you want a good fighter, bring her along. I DID NOT bring
her with my party, I took only the medallion, and the rest of the walkthrough
will reflect that fact. Now speak to them again and ask for tales about city
buildings 5 times, ask for tales of the catacombs 5 times and you will receive
the Ammath Wizard Quest. As you exit the tree house you are confronted by Orogs
and Lizardfolk, tell them you don’t have “it”, say you will give it to the
lizardmen, say you’re sure the lizard-men have it, this initiates combat with a
Lizardfolk Faith Healer, a Lizardfolk Taskmaster, a Lizardfolk Warrior and a
Lizardfolk Geomancer (can cast Searing Light). Help the Orogs defeat the
Lizardfolk and take the Deathspike they drop (it is a wonderful weapon, equip
it immediately). Trade with Nottle if you like, then go back through the
Lizardfolk Tunnel to the Nightingale Court. Approach the Altar of Mystra in
Shrine of Mystra, where the blockhead totem stood, right click on it and select
“Place Glittering Stone”, this completes The Faithful of Mystra Quest.
Anorrweyn arises and you can speak with her, Tell her about Beriand’s vision of
Mystra, ask who Miroden is and where he can be found, (she teaches you the Word
of Necessity), ask how you can ground her in this time, ask about Myth Drannor
before the fall. This conversation gives you the Dragonjaw Quest to find the
Baelnorn, Miroden Silverblade, and The Bones of Time Quest to retrieve the
skull of Anorrweyn from the Catacombs.
Acquire: From chest near Naga’s Totem, Idolon, Leather Armor +2 AC, Sling +3
hit/damage (kept for Cleric though the concept of using slings this late in the
game is laughable). From Faeril, Medallion of Mystra. From Lizardfolk/Orog
battle Deathspike, triple damage, +2 hit, quintuple damage on critical hits
(Gave to Paladin; this is a fantastic weapon).
Go: Back to the Circle of Ualair in the amphitheatre in the northwestern
Speculum Grounds. Go through the portal opened by the Wizard’s Torc to enter
the First Cellar of the Catacombs.

Event 90: Anti-Cult Orogs (FIRST CELLAR MAP)
Enemies: 2 Master Wraiths, Mohrg, 2 Margoyles, Lich
Notes: From this point set your Rogue as leader of the party so she can
automatically detect and defeat traps on the doors and chests you encounter
(all of which she will be able to defeat unlike before where caution was
advised). When you arrive in the Catacombs, exit the round room through the
southwest gate and head clockwise around the outside of the room to a small
log. Head northeast under a row of arches and you will come to a wall with a
metal door. Enter this room and head for the stairs; as you approach them you
will be attacked by 2 Master Wraiths. Halt them and destroy them (remember to
use power attacks against Confused or Halted opponents to speed up battle),
then go upstairs to open the exit to the Speculum Grounds. Now go back into the
dungeon and exit to the front door of the round room. Go down the hall
southeast to a hall heading south. Take that hall to a hall going southwest;
follow it to an intersection and go northwest to an open wooden door on a
southern wall. Go through the room southeast and open a set of metal doors,
then go through the doors southwest. In this room you must defeat a Mohrg, a
strong undead creature. Halt it and destroy it, then search its coffin. Rest
and then exit to the hall, go northwest to a pyre of burning bodies. Go through
the eastern door and defeat 2 Margoyles; take the gems and the potion they
drop. The door northwest needs the Greenish Copper Key (you can only get this
by killing the Orogs in this area even though they are not hostile to you; the
round well beyond the door provides what looks like 2 Restoration charges; I
did not do this). Exit to the hall, go north from the pyre and enter the wooden
door. The Orogs here mutter but do not threaten you. Very carefully (do not
attack the Orogs by mistake) smash the ornate wooden box on the table in this
room until you receive a message that you have destroyed “the lich’s
phylactery”. Now an explanation: Scattered throughout the catacombs are Lich
creatures of devastating power. Destroying them once is never enough, they will
just keep returning to the same location. The life force of each Lich you
encounter is kept in an ornate box somewhere nearby the site of the encounter.
As you travel through the catacombs check out any wooden box of this size to
see if it is a phylactery; try to destroy its box before or soon after
encountering the Lich or the beast will regenerate in the same location it once
was. This action brought Emmeric to Level 10. Smash the barrels and enter the
room southwest. Plunder the two chests here and take the Old Elven Key; go
southwest and plunder the items on the table (read information about the First
Cellar on the map) and in the next two chests. Exit back to the Pyre, head
southeast to the intersection then go northeast to the end of the hall and
search a brown brick area to discover a secret door. Stand to the west of the
door and open it, then have one character with high spell resistance step
through slightly to trigger a battle with a Lich. Keep everyone in back until
the Lich has finished his ambush and first attack rounds, then have your melee
fighters surge into the room and get close to the Lich to interrupt his spells
and hack him to pieces. After the battle you can get a potion from the chest in
this room and a couple of weapons off the floor. Because you have destroyed its
phylactery, this Lich will never return.
Acquire: From Mohrg coffin, Staff of Flame, +4 hit/damage, can cast 4 level 15
Flamestrike spells; high quality gems. 2 Margoyles, potion of Cure Moderate
Wounds Level 10; high quality gems. From Orog chests, Old Elven Key, Greatsword
+2 hit/damage, Ring of +1 Strength (gave to Jarial to help him carry his
armor), potion of Cure Moderate Wounds level 10, Salve of Cure Serious Wounds
level 10, Battleaxe +1 hit/damage, Large Shield +2 AC. From Orog table, Orog
map of First Cellar, Greataxe +2 hit/damage. From Lich’s room, Potion of Heal
Level 20, Large Shield +4 AC, Greataxe +2 hit/damage.
Go: Back to the doorway of the round room.

EVENT 91: Bergos and the Freth Drow
Quest Notes: Meeting Bergos and her Freth Drow army in the southern First
Cellar gives you the Over the Underdark Quest, warning you that you are
trespassing in Freth Drow territory.
Enemies: Bergos, 8 Freth Drow Commandos, Freth Drow High Priest, 2 Guard
Arraccats, 4 Wights, Master Wight, 3 Skeleton Knights, Wraith, Lich.
Notes: From the round room entrance, go west and pass through a wooden door;
search the contents of the square well. Exit through the northwest open door
and head west to a log, stop here and cast Globe of Invulnerability, have
everyone get in then move one character slightly west, but keeping within the
globe, to trigger an encounter with Freth Drow. When the conversation begins,
attack the Drow outright to get an ambush round. Bergos’ Drow army consists of
8 Freth Drow Commandos, a Freth Drow High Priest, and 2 Guard Arraccats. Cast
Dispel Magic on the Darkness (I had Jarial use a Dispel Scroll), then
Confusion, then Flamestrike and Fireball repeatedly into the enemy ranks and at
Bergos. Keep your people in the globe for the first couple of rounds (you can
use lay on hands to heal someone injured in the globe once). When you see that
the most of Drow are weakened or paralyzed, send in your melee fighters to
finish off the enemy. This battle brought my Paladin to Level 10. Take the
Silver Spider Key from Bergos and any other items you like. Go west from the
scene of the battle, then go down the next hall southwest. At the wall go west,
then northwest to a set of metal doors, go through and rest in this room. Exit
and head south until you spot metal doors on a southwest wall, go through and
continue southwest to a pile of stones. Go northwest until you reach ruins
where you will have to defeat 4 Wights and a Master Wight. The Wights can be
held by Turn Undead; use Halt undead on the Master Wight and then use standard
tactics to defeat this group. The two round wells in this area contain gold and
a necklace. Head west from the necklace giving round well and enter the wooden
door on the northern wall. Go west into the adjoining room and you will have to
defeat 3 Skeleton Knights (destroy with Turn Undead). You will find a potion on
the shelf in this room. Rest, then search the brown brick patch on the northern
wall to uncover a secret door. Stand out of the line of sight and open the door
to reveal a Wraith and a Lich. Use established tactics to defeat them (get a
couple melee fighters close to keep it from casting spells; note: dispel magic
will not clear the confusion spell this Lich casts, you will have to wait for
it to clear on its own and fight on with those who could resist it). After the
battle go through the door to the east of the Lich and destroy its phylactery
in the northern corner. This action brought my Cleric and first Sorcerer to
Level 10 (I gave latter Cone of Cold). You will find some useful magic items on
the table, a old scroll in the east cabinet, a spider-climbing potion in the
west cabinet and 2 mislabeled potions on the shelf. Throughout the Cellars you
will find strange and unique magical items with unknown properties, experiment
with them to discover their function, or read what the result of my experiments
were in the “Acquire” section of the Event where the items are found.
Acquire: From square well, Ring of Stamina +1 Fortitude saving throws; Wand of
Stinking Cloud Level 10, 3 charges. From Bergos, Silver Spider Key, Drow
Chainmail +5 AC, Drow Shortsword +1 hit/damage, Salve of Cure Serious Wounds
Level 10. From round well, Necklace of Confidence +3 Will saving throws. First
shelf, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15. From table, potion of
Restoration Level 10; Aasirak’s Book of Dancing Dead, can cast 7 Level 20
Control Undead Spells, +1 damage and +4 AC vs. undead, only Clerics, Monks and
Sorcerers can use (I had my Cleric keep this in her inventory for the bonuses
it offers). From Lich’s shelf 2 Mislabeled bottles of Dark Naga Venom (casts
Poison on user). From Lich’s cabinets, Potion of Spider Climbing Revision IV
(casts Haste on user), Barely Legible Scroll of Enchant Item (Dispels Magic).
Go: Rest and exit back to the main hall. Head south to a room with two open
doors.

Event 92: The Margoyle Queen; Entering the Silver Spider Doors
Enemies: 10 Margoyles, Margoyle Queen, 4 Freth Drow Commandos, 2 Freth Drow
Assassins, 2 Freth Drow Warriors and a Freth Drow Priest.
Notes: As you enter the room with two open doors you will be surrounded and
ambushed by 3 Margoyles. Defeat them and exit through the southwest door, head
south to the wall and the east to an open wooden door in a narrow corner. Go
through the door and you will have to defeat 5 Margoyle in a room filled with
stone partitions. In this relatively open room, without ambushes, tight spaces
or the need to hide from enemy spells I finally got around to using Cone of
Cold; it is a great spell with a very wide area of effect, try it out. Defeat
the Margoyles and go through the open wooden door in the northern area of the
partition room. Here you must defeat 2 Margoyles and the Margoyle Queen (only
slightly tougher than a normal Margoyle, more likely to resist some spells).
Take the worthless items they guarded and exit back to the 2 open doors room.
Go through the northeast door, head north to the intersection, then east to the
ruins. From the center of the ruins go southeast to a set of metal doors (power
up) and open them with the Silver Spider Key. Go to the northern corner of this
room and have your party gather behind the nearby pillar (magic users further
back behind melee fighters). Now send your Rogue southeast to the third pillar
and an ambush will be triggered; 4 Freth Drow Commandos and 2 Freth Drow
Assassins. Using this strategy most of your party will be concealed from bow
attacks during the ambush and 2 of the Freth Drow will not be able to use their
bows. As soon as you get a chance use Confusion to reduce the number of enemies
you are fighting (the Assassins will most likely Save so don’t waste your
Spells on them, just get your best melee fighters close to them to stop them
firing; they are very tough to beat and can easily kill your characters so keep
your Cleric back to heal the wounded and raise the dead when necessary; try
using Searing Light on a Drow if your party doesn’t need healing during a
round). After the battle go southeast and open the wooden door, this triggers a
confrontation with 2 Freth Drow Warriors and a Freth Drow Priest (these Freth
Drow are no where near as tough as what you have had to deal with so far). Try
standing in front of the southeast door inside the room you just opened to keep
the priest out of the battle until you are ready for him, then just get your
melee fighters close to him to keep him from casting. After the battle take the
staff dropped by the priest and read the Cult map of Second Cellar on the
table. There is a scroll on the shelf nearby and you find 2 healing items on
the bookcase in the room you just passed through. Enter the room northeast and
take the dagger on the floor.
Acquire: From Margoyle Queen’s treasure, potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Level
10; high quality gems, Salve of Cure Serious Wounds Level 10, Sling +4
hit/damage (kept for first Sorcerer). From priest, Staff of Darkness +1
hit/damage, can cast 6 Level 5 Darkness Spells. From table near priest Cult Map
of Second Cellar. From shelf near priest, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Burning Hands
Level 5. From bookcase potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20, Salve of Cure
Moderate Wounds Level 20. From Floor, Drow Dagger +3 hit/damage.
Go: Save and sleep here; this area is not entirely safe and so the sleep icon
is yellow. If you encounter anyone just load the game.

Event 93: Freth Drow Spider Temple
Enemies: 14 Freth Drow Warriors, 3 Freth Drow Commander, 2 Arraccat, Freth Drow
High Priest, Freth Drow Inquisitor.
Notes: Go through the northwest door and you will encounter 4 Freth Drow
Warriors and a Freth Drow Commander. Use established tactics (especially
Confusion) to finish them off. After the battle, take the arrows they drop;
open the cabinet to get 2 healing items; read the Drow map of the First Cellar
on the table and take the scroll you find with it; search through the contents
of two chests. Heal up and go through the northern door; you enter a Grand
Hall, pungent with incense. Go east to set off a wide ranging battle with 4
Freth Drow Warriors, 2 Arraccat, a Freth Drow High Priest and a Freth Drow
Inquisitor. Use Confusion on the warriors and Arraccat, get you melee fighters
close to the enemy magic users to stop them from casting, and defeat them all.
Take the powerful scrolls dropped by the High Priest, take the potions from the
tables; touch the spider statue to open the altar and take the Drow holy items
inside; the Drow Spinnan is a artifact of incredible properties, you should
definitely take it with you. Have your characters heal up then go southeast
from the spider statue until you find a set of metal doors. Stay out of the
line of sight and open the door; here you will have to defeat 6 Freth Drow
Warriors and 2 Freth Drow Commanders using established tactics. Take the
healing items from the shelf in the first room; search the three chests spread
out over two rooms; read the Cult map of the Second Cellar on the table, there
is a Drow Map on the bookcase; search the shelf in this room to find another
potion.
Acquire: From 4 warriors, Drow Quiver of Arrows. From cabinet, salve of Cure
Moderate Wounds level 20 and potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20. From
first table, Drow Map of the First Cellar, Cleric’s Scroll of Cure Critical
Wounds Level 20. Warrior’s two chests, Drow Chainmail +5 AC, Drow Shortsword +2
hit/damage. From the High Priest, Cleric Scroll of Destruction Level 20, Cleric
Scroll of Fire Storm Level 20. From High Priests tables, potion of Heal Level
20, potion of Mage Armor level 5. From altar, Drow Ceremonial Dagger, can cast
3 Level 20 Hold Person Spells; Drow Spinnan Trisagion, Spell Resistance +14,
Will saving throws +3, initiative +3, can cast Restoration Level 15 (Have your
Cleric keep this in her inventory to gain its benefits). From first shelf,
salve of Heal Level 20, potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20. From the three
chests, Wand of Cure Serious Wounds Level 20, 4 charges; Drow Assassin’s
Dagger; Amulet of Perfect Health, -4 Con, can cast 4 Level 20 Heal spells. From
second table, Cult map of Second Cellar. From bookcase Drow Map of First
Cellar. From second shelf, Potion of Remove Fear Level 5.
Go: Have your characters get some sleep and power-up in the second room, then
exit through the southern metal doors. Go east until you see another set of
metal doors on the northern side of the hall.

EVENT 94: Greyanna
Quest Notes: You will find the skull of Anorrweyn Evensong in the possession of
the pet Arraccat of the Freth Drow leader Greyanna in the southeastern First
Cellar. Defeat Greyanna and her followers to reclaim the skull. This advances
the Bones of Time Quest and completes the Over the Underdark Quest.
Enemies: 2 Freth Drow Warriors, 4 Arraccats, 4 Freth Drow Priests, 2 Freth Drow
High Priests, Freth Drow Commander, 9 Freth Drow Guards, 5 Guard Arraccats,
Freth Drow Guard Master, Greyanna, Foluben, Kalanar.
Notes: Stand out of the line of sight and open the metal doors, you will
encounter 2 Freth Drow Warriors battling 4 Arraccats and a Guard Arraccat. Wait
until the warriors are surrounded, then begin your assault and destroy all of
them. Continue down the eastern hall to a wooden door. Stay out of the line of
sight and open it. Here you must defeat 4 Freth Drow Priests, a Freth Drow High
Priest and a Freth Drow Commander. Blast them with magic in the first round,
then have your melee fighters storm the room and get close to the enemy to keep
them from casting. After the battle search the shelf and open the chests. Rest;
exit and continue east to a wooden door and open it head on; defeat 4 Freth
Guards (good fighters but susceptible to Confusion), 2 Guard Arraccat (can
Confuse), a Freth Drow High Priest and a Freth Drow Guard Master (both have
greater resistance to Confusion so get close to them quickly; the Guard Master
is a really good fighter with a monstrously high AC so you will just have to
put off killing him to the very end unless you get a lucky strike in; the High
Priest will cast Flame Strike if you don’t get close enough to stop him). This
victory brought my Rogue to Level 11. You will find a potion on the bookcase;
sleep in this room before going on. Exit this room and head southeast; head
south at the external corner of a room, then bear east to a set of metal doors.
POWER-UP. Beyond this door, the Freth Drow leader Greyanna waits with a
contingent of troops; attack her immediately before she gets a chance to
surround you. The rest of Greyanna’s party is made up of Foluben, (a tough Drow
Fighter), Kalanar (a powerful Arraccat), 2 Guard Arraccats, and 5 Freth Drow
Guards. This battle is very difficult and it will probably take you several
attempts to get through it with all you characters alive. Here is how I did it:
Keep your party out of sight, tucked away in the northwest corner of the hall
when you open the door. Wait through the ambush round and the first round of
normal combat without moving; this gets all of the enemy to gather in
Greyanna’s room. During the first round of normal combat cast Confusion
diagonally into the room without moving. In the second round of normal combat
move and cast Confusion directly into the room, you should be able to Confuse
everyone but Greyanna and Foluben. Now have your fighters gang up on and murder
Foluben, then turn on Greyanna; during this time have your magic users cast
their offensive spells at the confused masses. You will probably have to heal
and raise the dead several times during this battle so keep your Cleric safe.
Alternatively, I have also had success storming the room in the ambush round
and casting Confusion in the first round; but this depends on blocking the
Arraccat from entering from the northwestern room and successfully confusing
the northeast Freth Drow Guards before they get too many shots in. After the
battle you are told that the Arraccat’s food bowl is the skull of Anorrweyn
Evensong; take it with you. After battle, you can claim a sword and some armor
dropped by Greyanna. Empty the contents of three chests and a bookcase in
Greyanna’s room then enter the room southeast. The chest and bookcase in this
room both contain items, take them and exit through the northeast door. In the
hall you will find two chests contain magic items; head northwest and you will
find three chests, a bookcase and a shelf plunder them and go through the door
south. The bookcase in this room contains two healing potions and the chest
contains a dagger.
Acquire: From priest’s room chest, Drow Boots of Displacement +5 movement, can
cast 5 Level 10 Displacement Spells. From Guard Master’s bookcase, Potion of
Globe of Invulnerability Level 15. From Greyanna’s room, Drow Shortsword +5
hit/damage; Drow Chainmail +5 AC; Ring of Precision +1 Dex/Hit (Gave to
Emmeric); Necklace of Magic Resistance +5 Spell Resistance, can cast 2 Level 10
Spell Resistance Spells; Drow Lamp of Darkness, can cast 1 Level 5 Darkness
Spell; Sorcerer’s Scroll of Domination Level 5. From room southeast of
Greyanna’s room, Drow Shortsword +4 hit/damage; 2 potions of Neutralize Poison
Level 10. From the 2 hall chests, Wand of Command Level 10, 4 charges; 3
potions of Sleep Level 5. From the northwestern hall chests, Idolon; The Great
Knife of Shyde, +4 hit/damage, -2 Dex, +2 Str, +1 Will saving throws, can cast
4 Level 5 Searing Light Spells; Drow Chainmail +5 AC, Drow Shortbow +3
hit/damage. From northwestern hall bookcase Salve of Cure Serious Wounds Level
10, Potion of Heal Level 20. From northwestern hall shelf Cleric Scroll of Cure
Serious Wounds Level 20. From room northwest of Greyanna’s room, Drow Dagger +2
hit/damage; potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10 and salve of Cure Serious
Wounds Level 20.
Go: Once you have plundered what you like, rest.

EVENT 95: Returning Anorrweyn’s Skull; Exploring the Eastern First Cellar
Quest Notes: Before proceeding through the First Cellar, return the skull of
Anorrweyn Evensong to her coffin to complete the Bones of Time Quest.
Enemies: 3 Drow Scouts, 4 Margoyles, 19 Zombies, Zombie Lord, 6 Wights, 3
Soulless Orog, 4 Orog Marauder Brutes, Orog Marauder Boss, Orog Marauder Big
Boss.
Notes: Head for the exit to the amphitheatre on the Speculum Grounds. Along the
way you will confront 3 Drow Scouts; they are weaker and have lower morale than
Drow Warriors; defeat them and continue; exit to the surface. Head back to the
Shrine of Mystra, you will have to defeat 4 Margoyles along the way. At the
Shrine Right-Click on the coffin and select “Place Fragile Bone Head”, this
completes the Bones of Time Quest. You can ask her two Questions, then you must
go. Completing this Quest brought Jarial to Level 11, I gave him Ghoul Touch,
Haste, Charm Monster and Cloudkill. Return to the catacombs via the
amphitheatre door. Exit through the southwest door, go northwest to the wall
and then head northeast through a set of metal doors until you reach another
wall. Go northwest until you see a set of metal doors, pass through them; head
north into the ruins. Here you must defeat 11 Zombies (destroyed with Turn
Undead) and a Zombie Lord (stop with Turn Undead and attack). Take the wand the
Zombie Lord drops and go northeast; defeat 4 Zombies and take the gold on the
table. Head west to the metal doors and use the Old Elven Key to open them. Go
north into the ruins and you will encounter an army of 4 Zombies and 6 Wights,
all can be destroyed with Turn Undead (that Aasirak’s Book of Dancing Dead
really helps). Head north and you will find a quiet staircase to the Second
Cellar; mark it on your map and go into the room southwest. In this room you
find a cult member killed by crushing blows, plunder the two treasure icons to
get a note and some common weapons. Open the chests to get some gold, a club
and the Rusty Elven Key. Go through the northwest door and head northeast until
you pass through an open metal gate. In this room are 2 fountains, one that
casts Shield of Faith (1 charge) and one that casts Restore (1 charge); and
there are 2 basins, one that casts Heal (3 charges) and one that casts
Protection from Evil (3 charges). Exit this room and go west; you will enter a
battle between a Cult Archmage and 2 Soulless Orogs vs. 4 Orog Marauder Brutes,
an Orog Marauder Boss and an Orog Marauder Big Boss (Marauders have high AC
scores and require a combination of offensive magic {Cone of Cold works really
well against them} and heavy frontline battling to bring down). This is a very
strange battle of mixed loyalties. I tried the outcome several ways and found
that my characters got twice the experience for this battle if the Cult
Archmage survives. To do this you must keep him out of any melee battle. (It
make take a couple of tries to get this right, so if you don’t want to waste
the time, just kill everybody). Here is how to save the Cult Archmage: Use
Confusion on the Orogs in the first room and block the two doors with one of
your characters apiece (I put the Paladin by the northwest door and the Rogue
by the northeast door). Once the first room Orogs are paralyzed have your
Sorcerer’s use offensive spells to obliterate everyone in the second room,
while your remaining melee fighters destroy the paralyzed Orogs. Never let the
Archmage leave the first room and after every other enemy is dead he will
disappear and the battle will be over. This victory brought Emmeric to Level
11. Go northwest and take the ring off the well of fire in the second room, you
will be slightly burned in the process. Go northwest into the third room and
help the Orog Marauder defeat the Soulless Orog; the Marauder disappears after
the battle. Clear out the chests in this room.
Acquire: From Zombie Lord, Wand of Slay Living Level 10, 3 charges. From
treasure bags in dead Cult member room, Unfinished Note, Small Shield, 2
Longsword, Dagger. From chests in same room Club, Rusty Elven Key. From well of
fire, Ring of Teeth, can cast 5 Inflict Serious Wounds Level 10. From chests in
room northwest of well of fire, Boots of Stalking, +10 movement, can cast 3
Level 10 Invisibility Spells; Battleaxe; 2 Daggers; Ring of Dodging +2 AC, +5
Movement, +1 Dex/Reflex saving throws; Shortbow; Shortsword; moderate quality
gems; potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Level 10; Salve of Serious Healing Level
10.
Go: (Note: There are few places to rest in the First Cellar, you may have to go
back quite a distance before you find a suitable spot. I just kept healing my
characters with the potions I found along the way and then I would press on.
Sometimes you may need to risk sleeping in yellow areas to restore you party).
Head back to the quiet staircase you found earlier in this Event.

EVENT 96: Finding Tudo; Defeating the Cult in the Northern First Cellar
Quest Notes: In the northeastern First Cellar you will find Tudo, a Level 12
Rogue, arguing with Nottle. Speak to them and you can take Tudo into your party
if you wish.
Enemies: 5 Cult Mages, 10 Soulless Orog, 8 Cult Soldiers, 2 Cult Archmages, 6
Cult Soldier Elites, 5 Soulless Orogs, 3 Cult Lieutenants, 2 Ghasts, 5 Ghouls.
Notes: Head south from the staircase to a wall and head west to a series of
pillars. Go northwest past the pillars and you will see a set of heavy wooden
doors. Open the doors and go north and you will find Nottle speaking with the
next NPC you can recruit, Tudo, a Level 12 Rogue. Let them continue their
argument; tell him you were just passing by; hint that maybe Tudo could join
you. At this point you must decide; I DID NOT bring him along because my Rogue
had 30 more HP and 3 more Dexterity than Tudo did; if you change your mind you
can always find him later at Nottle’s wagon. Go northwest and defeat a Cult
Mage and 4 Soulless Orog (can be stopped with Turn Undead). Go through the
wooden door on the northeast wall; there are various worthless items spread out
on the table, shelf, and 2 reinforced chests in this room, search them. Search
the northwest wall’s dark brick area and you will find a secret door; search
the contents of two shelves and three reinforced chests, then exit to the hall.
Go west to a bench, then go southwest until you arrive at an intersection, Take
the southeast hall and pick the lock on the iron gate in the middle of the hall
(may take a few tries). When you open the cell door in this room an ambush is
triggered; you must defeat 6 Cult Soldiers, a Cult Lieutenant and a Cult
Archmage. I closed the door to the hall when I saw the ambush coming, then I
kept closing the door whenever they tried to open it until my magic users were
ready. Then I let the door stay open and I flooded the hall with offensive
magic while my melee fighters blocked the door. After the battle go southeast
down the hall to the second open wooden door; spread out over three rooms are 2
Ghasts and 5 Ghouls, defeat them and go back northwest. At the row of pillars
go west and open the metal doors. In this room are 3 Kegs of Elven alcohol that
cast 1 charge apiece of three beneficial spells, Nectar=Restoration,
Mead=Bull’s Strength and Wine=Heal. Go back to the intersection before the iron
gate hall, then go west and open the wooden door; in this room you must defeat
a Cult Mage and 2 Soulless Orog. Now return to the scene of the battle near
where you met Nottle and go north into a short hall. Enter the wooden door on
the southwest wall of the hall you enter. Here you must defeat a Cult Mage and
2 Soulless Orog; after the battle head through the door and go northwest
through the room filled with wrecked furniture, you will hear a message about
Zombie duty. When you reach the wall follow the next stone partition hallway
southeast to a confrontation with 2 Soulless Orog, a Cult Mage and 2 Cult
Soldiers. Defeat them and go south from the well through a gap in the stone
partition wall, then head northwest to the end of the hall, then north into the
next hall. Open the wooden door on the southwest side of the alcove at the end
of the hall and search the wooden chest in this room to get a ring, a Rusty Key
and a Bronze Key. Risk resting in this room, load if you get an encounter, then
exit through the southwest door. You will now encounter a massive Cult army
made up of a Cult Archmage, 6 Cult Soldier Elites (a couple have bows), 3
Soulless Orogs and 2 Cult Lieutenants. I found Confusion and Cone of Cold very
helpful for this battle. This battle brought my Paladin (can now get in 3 hits
per round like the Fighter), Cleric and First Sorcerer to level 11, I gave her
Web, Invisibility Sphere, Fear, and Dominate Person. The 11th Level Cleric now
has Heal (completely restores health to one target) and Harm (I don’t like
using proximity spells). After the battle enter the wooden door on the wall
north of the battle and defeat a Cult Mage and 2 Soulless Orogs. In this room
you will find a duplicate set of the items in the wooden chest. Use the Bronze
Key to open the eastern door; take the gems off the table, search the cabinet
and the reinforced chest.
Acquire: From 2 reinforced chests room, Small Shield +1 AC, Sorcerer’s Scroll
of Bull’s Strength Level 5, a Note, Dagger +1 hit/damage, Dagger +3 hit/damage.
From secret room’s containers, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Light Level 5; Cleric’s

20; salve of Cure Serious Wounds level 20; Crypt Cleanser Light Mace, +4
AC/hit/damage vs. Undead, can Cast Control Undead Level 20; high quality gems.
From wooden chest, Rusty Key, Bronze Key, Ring of Defense +2 AC, find
duplicates on Cult Mage). From Bronze Key room,  moderate quality gems, potion
of Neutralize Poison Level 10, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Halt Undead Level 15.
Go: You can sleep safely in this room. Afterward exit and go back east to the
open wooden door, then go south to a closed wooden door.

Event 97: Tomb of Six Adventurers; Exploring the Northwestern First Cellar
Enemies: 2 Cult Mages, 4 Soulless Orogs, 6 Wraiths, 5 Cult Soldiers, Cult
Quartermaster, 5 Mohrg
Notes: Go through the wooden doors and defeat a Cult Mage and 2 Soulless Orogs.
Pass through this room and exit southeast, then go southwest to a wall and then
northwest through a set of pillars. Pass through the open door flanked by two
pillars and you receive a message “Here lie loyal comrades. Disturb their
slumber at thy peril.” Ok. In this room are six coffins with special items in
them; take the items if you wish but you will have to defeat 6 Wraiths when you
exit, (can Turn and Halt). Exit to the hall you were in before you battled the
Cult Mage. Go through the metal doors and you will have to defeat 5 Cult
Soldiers and a Cult Quartermaster (take him out first because he is tougher).
Open the three wooden chests in the northwestern room and take what you like,
open the three wooden chests in the southeastern room and take what you like.
Through the northeastern metal doors is a staircase to the Second Cellar, let’s
avoid that for now. Exit to the hall and head southeast; go through the wooden
door and you will find a chest that needs the Old Iron Key. Go through the
western door and defeat a Cult Mage, take the Old Iron Key from the table, then
take the items the Cult Mage drops and search the reinforced chest. Go back and
open the chest needing the Old Iron Key to get some high quality gems. Exit
through the southern door of the Cult Mage’s room and defeat 2 Soulless Orog;
take the Brass Key they drop. Head southeast to an iron gate and use the Brass
Key to open it. Head southwest to a patch of dark bricks on the northwest wall,
search the patch to find a hidden door, go through and take the treasure in the
secret room. Head southeast and open the iron gate to a room with a round well
and 5 Mohrg; you must use Halt Undead to get at least some of them out of the
battle (Turn Undead won’t work) because they can paralyze your party members
and can do a lot of damage during melee combat. After you defeat them rest and
then exit to the hall; go southeast to the intersection, then southwest into a
wide, open hall. Go through the wooden door on the southwestern wall; head
through the gate and grab the necklace by the corpse; afterward you must defeat
a Master Wraith.

intersection, south through a narrow hall and southeast to a set of metal
doors, you can rest in this room. Exit and go east to the corner of a wall and
south to a hall running southwest; follow the southwest hall and at the end of
it go southeast. You will see a wooden door on the northeast wall.

EVENT 98: The White Orrery Planet
Quest Notes: You will find the final Orrery Planet in the possession of Dark
Naga in the north-central First Cellar; defeat the armies there and release the
White Orrery Planet to complete the Planets Above Quest.
Enemies: Mohrg, 22 Skeleton Lords, Skeleton, 6 Orog Marauders, Orog Marauder
Boss, Orog Marauder Big Boss, 2 Orog Marauder Hoodoos, 6 Orog Marauder Brutes,
6 Soulless Orogs, 2 Dark Naga,
Notes: Go through the northeast door and defeat a Mohrg (use Halt on it) and 2
Skeleton Lords (can hold these 2 with Turn Undead). Exit and go southwest into
the ruins; eventually you will come across a Skeleton laying on the ground,
attack and destroy it. Return to the room with the metal doors where you rested
in the last event. Go northeast to a set of open metal doors and you get a
message “Enter with ease and nourish thy health, but exit with care if thee
nourish thy wealth.” Bolts of Lightning frame the words. Enter the hall beyond
and pick up 4 healing items from the tables you find. An explanation: In both
of the adjacent rooms are 10 Skeleton Lords guarding a reinforced chest; if you
want the contents of the chests you will have to defeat the Skeleton Lords.
Attack the Skeleton Lords before opening the chests to avoid an ambush round;
because you can Halt and hold with Turn Undead these battles should not be a
problem. Take the items in the chests, rest and then exit through the northeast
door of the lightning bolt room’s hall. Go through the wooden doors north and
have your best melee fighters block the secret door on the northwest wall. Open
the reinforced chest in this room to trigger a battle with 4 Orog Marauders, an
Orog Marauder Boss and an Orog Marauder Big Boss; keep the Orogs trapped in
their room and use Confusion and offensive spells to wipe them out. Take the
Halberd dropped after the battle; clear the two wooden chests from the middle
room, and open the door to the room with a well of fire. Go back and
rest/power-up in the lightning room hall then come back to the well of fire
room. Stand in the corner south of the well of fire and open the metal doors to
set off a battle with an 2 Orog Marauders, an Orog Marauder Hoodoo, 4 Orog
Marauder Brutes, 2 Soulless Orogs and a Dark Naga. Here is how I got through
this battle: I formed up my group with my melee fighters in front of my
Sorcerer’s in the corner of the room (previously mentioned) and opened the
doors. A few Orog came and blocked the door, I cast Confusion on these and
hurled offensive spells through the doors destroying those who gathered beyond
it; including the Dark Naga. As you kill off some of the enemies the rest will
come and block the door and you can use the same strategy to kill them without
ever entering the room they were in. As soon as the battle is over, take the
items dropped by the enemy and go back and rest/power-up in the lightning room;
(this victory brought my Rogue to Level 12). Now go back to the round well room
and search the two bookshelves (contains two very nice books) and the two
shelves, take what you like and approach the metal doors in the far eastern
corner of the room without exposing yourself. In this room you will encounter 4
Soulless Orog, an Orog Marauder Hoodoo, 2 Orog Marauder Brutes and another Dark
Naga. Keep you party to the sides of the door and let the enemy come to you
while you cast offensive spells diagonally into the room without exposing
yourself to the enemy’s line of sight. Take the ring dropped after the battle;
search the cabinet, bookcase and fancy barrel in this room and take what you
like. Afterward, go through the eastern door and release the White Orrery
Planet in the cage in the center of the room; this completes the Planets Above
Quest and reactivates the Spinning Spires, which can now be used to travel
across Myth Drannor instantly (but only to the location of another Spinning
Spire). Open the three chests in this room and take what you like. Exit through
the northern door to return to Stillwater. Visit Beriand and Faeril if you
wish, then return to the First Cellar by selecting “Return to the Naga’s Lair
in the First Cellar” when you Left-Click on the cavern you emerged from.

Marauder Brutes and a Orog Marauder Big Boss approach from the north; and 4
Orog Marauders and an Orog Hoodoo approach from the south. All of these enemies
are hostile to you, regardless of what they think of each other. You will spot
the northern group in the first round, so cast Confusion on them to stop them
from moving in the next round and take care of the group in the room first. The
southern group will take the long way round, when they get there, confuse them
too. You should be able to wipe out most or all of the outside attackers with
offensive magic, while they stand paralyzed. After the battle you can rest in

examine the Spinning Spire and the locations it can take you. Head southeast
from the Spinning Spire and defeat 6 Mohrg (cannot be Turned and hard to Halt
so you may want to skip right to offensive magic), an Orog Marauder Brute and
an Orog Marauder Hoodoo. Go down the hall west from where the Hoodoo stood
during the battle and eventually the hall will bear south, stop here. The
western wooden door takes you back to the fancy barrel room, the eastern metal

doors on the southwest wall. Go up the stairs on the southwest wall and you
arrive back in the First Cellar, in an area inaccessible from the outside. Head
into the southeastern room and you receive a message about the history of these
rooms. Enter the northeastern room and many ghosts crowd around you; one tells
you the story of their last days. Scattered throughout these rooms are a
variety of fairly common weapons you can take if you want; afterward go back
downstairs and return to the door of the Well of Dreams room. Along the way you
must defeat 3 more Freth Drow Scouts. From the door head southeast to an iron
gate, go through and then head south through another iron gate, opened with the
Worn Elven Key. In the hall head northwest and you will spot a broken door on a
southeast wall, approach it and defeat a Mohrg and 4 Cult Soldiers. Take the

beam and a log; enter the wooden door you find in the southeast wall. Initiate
combat with and defeat the 3 Mohrg, 4 Wights, 2 Skeletons, a Master Wight, a
Skeleton Lord and a Skeleton Knight in this room. This Victory brought Emmeric
to Level 12, I gave him a point to Strength; the fancy barrel in this room
bestows a point of charisma it, I gave it to Jarial. Rest and exit to the hall,
go north to the boulder and then head west until you spot a wooden door; stand
out of the line of sight, and then open this door. There are 4 Freth Drow
Warriors, a Freth Drow Commander and a Freth Drow Priest in this room. Use
Confusion and offensive magic to wipe them out. Enter this room and rest, then
exit and go southwest; when you see a line of pillars to the northwest, head
northwest and the turn southwest down the next hall. Eventually you will spot a
open wooden door on the southeast wall; this room has 3 Arraccat and 3 Black
Arraccat in it, they should be easy to Confuse and destroy (once they are all
confused do not waste your spells destroying them because you will need them
soon). This victory brought my Paladin, and first Sorcerer to Level 12; I gave
him a point to Strength and her a point to Charisma and the Disintegrate Spell.
Take the items guarded/dropped by the Arraccats. On the way out of this room
you will be ambushed by 4 Freth Drow Warriors, a Freth Drow Commander and a

Enemies: 2 Arraccat, Guard Arraccat, 4 Black Arraccats, 4 Freth Drow Warriors,
Freth Drow Priest, Freth Drow Commander, 13 Margoyles, Margoyle Queen, 8 Mohrg,
Archlich, 3 Wights, Master Wight, 3 Spectres.
Notes: Head southeast from the ruins and go through an open wooden door; in the
adjacent room are 2 Arraccat, a Guard Arraccat and a Black Arraccat, defeat
them and take the items they guarded. Head north into the ruins and you will
encounter and have to defeat 4 Freth Drow Warriors, a Freth Drow Commander and
a Freth Drow Priest, confuse and murder them. Take the staff they drop and
search the cabinet nearby; head southeast from the cabinet and go through the
heavy wooden double doors you find on a southern wall. Exit through the metal
doors on the southwest wall, cross the hall and enter an open wooden door.
Search the items on the floor, then enter the southeastern room and defeat 3
Margoyles; search their items then head back to the heavy wooden double doors
(you can sleep near the round well). Go northeast to a broken wooden door, pass
through it and exit this room through the northeast double doors. Head east to
a blue marker stone, touch it to begin a conversation with some Margoyles. Say
you are injured and need help, then say you are badly hurt; when they open the
gate, kill the 5 Margoyles. Go east and you will find a wooden door that leads
to Stillwater; go back to Stillwater and learn what Beriand and Faeril have
learned about the Cult of the Dragon. To return to the Second Cellar,
Left-Click on the cavern opening you emerged from and select “Return to the
Margoyle Chasm in the Second Cellar”. Go south from the door to a standing
pillar, then go east and pass through an iron gate; defeat 5 Margoyles and a
Margoyle Queen, then plunder the reinforced chest. Exit the room and head south
to an intersection, go southeast and defeat the group of 3 Black Arraccats
through the open door on the southwest wall. This victory brought my Rogue to
Level 13. Search the Arraccat’s items, then cross the hall to the other open
door; there is a phylactery here you should destroy before moving on (careful,
it has a Fireball trap attached). Exit to the hall and head south, go through
the wooden door; you can sleep in this room. Exit, go to the end of this hall
and head south; pass through an open door. Go southwest through the iron gate,
and then the wooden double doors beyond; here you must defeat 4 Mohrg, start
off with offensive magic because these Mohrg are hard to Halt. Stand to the
sides of the southeastern wooden door when you open it to avoid the spells of
the Archlich inside. Get your melee fighters close to him as quick as you can
to keep him from casting spells; try using Disintegrate or Chain Lightning on
it (these are great to use when you have your people too close to enemy for
area-effect spells to be useful). Immediately following the battle you will be
ambushed by 3 Wights and a Master Wight, 3 Spectres, and 4 Mohrg; to defeat
this horde I blocked the door to the adjacent room with my melee fighters, and
fired offensive spells into the enemy occupied rooms. After the battle return
to the Archlich’s room. The fancy barrel in this room gives a +1 Con bonus,
which I gave to my Cleric. Plunder the two reinforced chests and the coffin.

the Cult, ask who the Shrine’s guardians are, ask if the Cult knows about this
shrine, ask how they came to be here, ask them where the Baelnorn is, and
finally, offer them your services; this gives you the Silver Fire Quest to

Arraccats, 2 Guard Arraccats, Black Arraccat, 4 Enthralled Drow, Cult Archmage,
Lich, Spectre, Dark Naga, 5 Margoyles, Margoyle Queen, 4 Cult Soldiers.
Notes: Exit out to the hall, go northeast and use the Scarred Elven Key to
unlock the metal doors on the northeast wall. Go north and approach a round
pillar, this will trigger a battle with 6 Freth Drow Warriors, a Freth Drow
Commander and a Freth Drow Priest; by approaching from the south you will be
given cover by the pillar. Use confusion/offensive spells to wipe out this
group. After the battle, take their treasure and bear northwest from the round
pillar into a narrow hall; take the next hall southwest and you will encounter
3 Arraccats, 2 Guard Arraccats and a Black Arraccat spread out through the two
rooms on the southeast side of the hall. Defeat them and take what they drop,
exit to the hall and head northeast; at the intersection go back southeast.
Head northeast through the square arch near the ruins and at the end of the
hall approach the northwest wooden door. Stay out of the line of sight and open
the door; in this room you must defeat 4 Enthralled Drow and a Cult Archmage.
Enthralled Drow are immune to Confusion and act kind of like Soulless Orog so
flood the room with offensive magic while keeping out of the Archmage’s line of
sight, and try to get the enthralled Drow to bunch up by the door as they come
out to attack you. After the battle, take the ring dropped by the Archmage and
the items off the table. You can rest here than exit through the northwest
door; head southwest and go through a set of metal doors; you receive a message
about chanting and portals. There is a hidden door on the northwest wall of
this room; stand next to the pillar in the north corner of this room and then
send one person (with high spell resistance) to open the door and step into the
room. This triggers a battle with a Lich and a Spectre. Get your fighters close
to the Lich to prevent it using magic and because of the invulnerability spell
it cast. After the battle, destroy the Lich’s phylactery behind the iron gate.
After that you can take a magic dagger off the table and get a couple of
mysterious potions in the reinforced chest. Rest and then exit back to the
hall, go northeast to a set of steps that lead up to the eastern portion of the
First Cellar. Head northwest from the bottom of the staircase, then go
southwest when you reach a wall. At the next intersection go northwest and pass
through a broken wooden door on the northeast wall of this hall. As you enter
you receive a message about the scent of blood, approach the dark brick patch
on the northwest wall to find a secret door. Have your magic users stand in
front of this door and open it to get an ambush round on a Dark Naga; it should
take only 2 Cones of Cold and a Flamestrike to destroy it during the ambush
round. Enter its room and take the Oily Iron Key it drops along with a nice
quiver of arrows. Search the contents of 2 chests (you will find the Slender
Silver Key in one of them) and a shelf in this room. Use the Slender Silver Key
to open the wooden door on the northeast wall, go through and you will see a
poison fountain. Exit back to the hall and bear northwest to a room with an
open wooden door; there is a fancy barrel here that gives +1 to Str (Gave to
Paladin). Exit and bear southeast to a row of pillars crossing the hall, then
go south through an open door; take the items in this room then defeat the 5
Margoyles and the Margoyle Queen in the adjacent room northeast; take what they
drop. Exit and go southeast; at the end of the hall go south through a narrow
space and enter the wooden door southwest of the narrow space. In this room you
must defeat 4 Cult Soldiers. Take the Dull Brass Key they drop and the dagger
off the table.

Event 106: The Cult Stronghold; Staircase to the Lower Keep
Enemies: 15 Cult Soldiers, 3 Cult Lieutenants, Cult Quartermaster, 6 Enthralled
Drow, 3 Cult Archmages, Zombie Lord, 5 Cult Soldier Elites, 2 Cult Brigadiers,
2 Cult Mages,
Notes: Unlock the southwest wooden door with the Dull Brass Key. Go west from
the door to an iron gate that can only be unlocked with the Fragile Iron Key,
mark it on your map. Go southeast until you see a wooden door on the southwest
wall, open it with the Oily Iron Key. Go southwest to a wall and northwest to
an intersection (there is a log in the center and a row of arches crossing the
hall southwest). Go up the northeast hall to a iron gate on the northwest wall
of the hall, go through and pick up the ring lying on the ground near a corpse.
Return to the hall and go northeast to an intersection, then northwest to a
narrow hall running north; take this hall and go through the wooden door on the
northeast wall to return to Stillwater. Speak to Beriand to learn that a
powerful wizard, Azmark Duathel has arrived in Myth Drannor to protect the Pool
of Radiance and serve the Cult. To return to the catacombs via the cavern you
emerged from, select “Return to the Cult Stronghold in the Second Cellar”. Go
west of the door to a hall with a bench and metal doors, block and then open
the metal doors and defeat 4 Cult Soldiers, a Cult Quartermaster and a Cult
Lieutenant. The iron gate on the north wall requires the Large Iron Key, which
is actually on the other side of the gate. Later in the game you will find a
portal to take you to the other side of the gate, and there you will find both
the Large Iron Key and the Fragile Iron Key mentioned earlier. Cross the hall
and open the wooden door east of the metal door to set off a two room battle
with 4 Enthralled Drow and a Cult Archmage; utilize the tactics discussed
earlier and consider blocking the second door before it opens, to give yourself
a chance to finish one room at a time. After you defeat them, open the chest in
the first room to get some gold; search the bookcase and the contents of the
table, then go to the second room. Search the contents of the table, bookcase
and chest of this room. Exit to the hall and go southwest, then at the
intersection go northwest and block and open the metal doors next to a bench.
Defeat 5 Cult Soldiers and take the armor from the chest in this room. Open the
two sets of metal doors southwest and search the chests in the next two rooms.
Block the southeast in the second room, then open it and defeat 6 Cult
Soldiers. Search their chests, rest and exit through the southeast metal door.
Head south to a set of heavy wooden doors on a southeast wall; enter the room
beyond and open the metal doors on the southeast wall. Defeat a Zombie Lord and
exit to the hall. Go east to a log, then take the southeast hall from the
intersection. When you see a row of arches in a southwest hall, take that hall
to a iron gate. Pass northwest through the iron gate and IMMEDIATELY open the
wooden door just north of it. Spread out over 2 rooms are 2 Cult Soldier
Elites, a Cult Brigadier and a Cult Lieutenant. You need to get into these
rooms and block the door from the other side before the second round begins. In
the second round 3 Cult Soldier Elites, 2 Cult Mages, a Cult Archmage and 2
Enthralled Drow will attack from the west and 2 Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult
Brigadier, a Cult Lieutenant and a Cult Archmage will attack from the east.
Note that you might be able to Confuse a certain portion of the two flanking
armies before barricading yourself in the room you just opened. In the second
round close the door from the inside and block it (have someone keep closing
it) to draw the Cult Members closer to you; meanwhile, finish off the Cult
members in the room you are in using proximity friendly magic like Chain
Lightning and Disintegration (if you are too confined for area effect spells).
When you are ready (interior is clear) and the enemy magic users have gathered
outside, open the door and flood the hall with offensive magic to wipe them
out. One the magic users are down use standard block and blast/Confusion
tactics to finish off the rest of the enemies. After the battle you can rest in
the room you defended from. Search the contents of the table and two reinforced
chests (one contains gold) in the adjacent room.
Acquire: From corpse, Ring of Souls, can cast 4 Level 15 Halt Undead Spells.

staircase and enter the Lower Keep.

EVENT 107: Nathlilik of the Kilsek Drow; Freeing the Guardians of the Silver
Fire; Revisiting the Shrine of the Silver Fire (LOWER KEEP MAP)
Quest Notes: At a bridge north of the entrance to the Lower Keep you will meet
a Kilsek Drow who asks you to kill a mage for her; this gives you the Dark
Lover Quest. Defeat the Dark Naga Gulrithi and use the Serpent Key he held to
open a nearby room where the Guardians of the Silver Fire are being held.
Destroy the skull totem to free them and complete The Silver Fire Quest. Return
to the Shrine of the Silver Fire and you will discover that Kellan and Bronwyn
are ready to join your party if you wish.
Enemies: 6 Mohrg, 7 Wights, 4 Shadows, 2 Master Shadows, Gulrithi, Master
Wight.
Notes: From the bottom of the stairs go north to a set of metal doors then west
to a Bridge where you will meet 3 Kilsek Drow. Parley with Nathlilik, tell her
to continue, tell her you’re listening, agree to kill the Cult Mage; this gives
you the
Dark Lover Quest to kill a Cult Mage and take the Staff of Sunlight.
Pick up the Gem-studded Key before the bridge, then cross and go northwest to a
hall running southwest. Take the southwest hall; note that you can rest in the
room through the metal doors on the northwest side of this hall; at the end of
the hall go south to a set of metal doors. In the room beyond you must defeat a
Mohrg and 4 Wights. Enter the adjacent room east and then exit through the door
south. Go straight south to a set of metal doors, go through and open the
closed wooden door on the southwest wall. Defeat 3 Mohrg and 3 Wights. Go the
room southeast and you can pick up a battle axe from a table and a wand from a
chest. Exit back to the hall and go northeast to a wooden door in a small
alcove, pass through and enter the room southeast; here you must defeat 4
Shadows (can be destroyed with Turn Undead) and a Master Shadow (can be held
with Turn Undead). After the battle, exit through the southeast door and go
east to a wooden door. In the room beyond, search the reinforced chest in front
of the partition to find the Bent Elven Key and the Flat Brass Key with some
gauntlets. Search the table, cabinet and shelf to find a few more items. Exit
and go southwest to a confrontation with Gulrithi (a Dark Naga), 2 Mohrg and a
Master Wight. Concentrate on killing the Dark Naga first; get your fighters up
close to him to prevent him from using magic; use area effect spells to try and
hit both him and his undead servants. I sent my Rogue as a sacrificial lamb to
draw the Mohrg away to prevent them from paralyzing the melee fighters I sent
to kill Gulrithi. After the battle take the items dropped by Gulrithi,
including the Serpent Key. Head south from where you defeated Gulrithi and use
the Serpent Key to open the wooden door you find. Destroy the skull totem to
free the Guardians of the Silver Fire, Gloran and Ethe; this completes The
Silver Fire Quest. Tell them about the sisters you met; ask about Gulrithi and
the Skull; ask them how they got here. Return to the Shrine of the Silver Fire
and speak with the sisters there. Ask who the Shrine serves, ask what their
skills are; you can now ask Kellan (Level 7 Fighter/Level 6 Sorcerer) and
Bronwyn (Level 12 Ranger) to join you if you wish; I didn’t.

Event 108: Last Repose of the Stout Folk of Myth Drannor
Enemies: 4 Mohrg, 2 Orog Marauder Brutes, 2 Orog Marauders, Orog Marauder Boss,
Orog Marauder Hoodoo, Sleethuur, 9 Wights, 5 Mohrg, Master Wight, 3 Wraiths, 2
Spectres, Master Spectre.
Notes: On the other side of the bridge go northwest, then head down the next
hall southwest. Soon you will encounter and have to defeat 4 Mohrg, 2 Orog
Marauder Brutes, 2 Orog Marauders an Orog Marauder Hoodoo and an Orog Marauder
Boss. Go northwest up the hall they came from and go through the metal doors.
Head southwest to another set of metal doors and you will confront the Dark
Naga Sleethuur; attack him immediately or he will get an attack ground against
you. Use the ambush round to get your melee fighters close to him and weaken
the Dark Naga with offensive magic; you should have no problem killing him in
the second round. Take Nezras’s Mysterious Chainmail and exit through the open
wooden door on the southwest wall. Attack and defeat the 2 Wights lying on the
ground. Go south from the Dwarven Statues and open the metal doors on the south
wall; you receive a message: “Last Repose of the Stout Folk of Myth Drannor;
Let Any Who Take Without Giving Beware!” Pass through the two rooms southeast
and you will encounter 3 Mohrg, 4 Wights and a Master Wight spread over 2
rooms. Defeat them and you receive a message about be watched. Now an
explanation: Spread out over the rooms of this “Last Repose” are 6 tribute
basins, 6 accessible coffins, 6 common weapons, armies of undead and Dwarven
Statue guardians. If you take an item from a coffin without paying tribute for
that item in an equivalent basin, the Dwarven Statues will activate and attack
you, and they are very tough to beat. To take the items without triggering the
statues, clear the undead from all the rooms and take the common weapons you
find along the way. Then pay tribute to all the basins, then take the
equivalent items you find in the coffins. Start by taking the Shortsword from
the room southeast of the room with the first basin, then exit through the
northwest doors and follow the hall south to a room where you will find a
Dagger. Take it and enter the southwest room; here you must defeat 3 Wights and
2 Mohrg spread over two rooms. Take note of the second basin and enter the room
southwest with a well of fire in it. Go through the metal doors on the
northwest wall and follow the hall beyond counterclockwise to a room with the
third basin. Enter the room northwest and take the Light Mace. Enter the next
northwest room and defeat 3 Wraiths spread over 2 rooms. Take note of the
fourth basin and exit the first room through the northern door. Enter the room
north and take the Warhammer and the Longsword. Enter the room northeast and
defeat 2 Spectres. Take note of the fifth basin and exit through the northeast
door. Follow the hall southwest and enter the final room; defeat a Master
Spectre and take the Battleaxe; the sixth basin is in this room. Now feed the
common items to the basins and take the related item from the coffin in each
room as you go back through. Completing this brought my Paladin to Level 13;
Jarial to Level 13, gave him Fire Shield, Dominate Person, Globe of
Invulnerability; first Sorcerer to 13, gave her Fire Shield, Feeblemind, Chain
Lightning; and Emmeric to Level 13. Take a look at the weapons you just
acquired.
Acquire: From Sleethur, Nezras’s Mysterious Chainmail, +5 AC, +3 Dex, -3 Wis,

Boss. In the second round the battle expands to include another Orog Marauder
Boss, 5 Orog Marauder Brutes, an Orog Marauder Big Boss and an Orog Marauder
Hoodoo. Confusion and area effect spells will work wonders in these cramped
quarters. This victory brought my Rogue to Level 14 and my Cleric to Level 13
(she can now cast Resurrection, which raises the dead and gives them back all
their HP; and Destruction an extremely deadly spell she can use to obliterate a
target, {life just got a whole lot easier}). Search the treasure dropped by
these Orogs to find the Bent Key and the Crude Metal key, along with some other
items. Search the three chests in the two “expanded battle” rooms; use the Bent
Key to open the storeroom northeast of the first battle room. Drink from the
fancy Barrel of Spirits to trigger a Heal spell and a battle with a Wraith;
defeat the Wraith and you get another copy of the Bent Key. Exit through the
northwest door of the first battle room and head northeast to a wooden door on
a northeast wall. Go through and defeat 2 Orog Marauder Bosses. Take the items
they drop and the ones from the table, read the Ancient Singed Journal. Go
through the northeast door and follow the trail of money; pick up 6 pieces of
gold (pass through a set of heavy wooden doors as you go), and you come to a
coffin with a corpse that is missing its head. Exit and go through the
southeast heavy wooden doors; go east to an northeast hall, follow it to an
iron gate on its northwest side; on the floor of this room you will find the
Mummified Head. Go back to the desecrated coffin and place the Mummified Head
inside. Cross the hall and you will find a stash of 5 reinforced chests. As you
enter this room you must defeat a Revenant that comes walking in behind you.
Plunder these chests.

Go: Rest, now go back across the bridge to the main hall of the Lower Keep;
directly north of the staircase you will find a set of metal doors flanked by
two huge stone pillars.

EVENT 110: Thygaast Ammath
Quest Notes: You will find the Wizard’s chambers Beriand spoke of in the Lower
Keep, north of the entrance staircase. Destroy the phylactery of the wizard who
inhabits this laboratory, Thygaast Ammath, and then destroy her to complete the
Ammath Wizard Quest.
Enemies: Dark Naga, 2 Master Spectres, 3 Master Wights, a Zombie Lord, 2 Master
Shadows, 14 Mohrg, Thygaast Ammath, 2 Skeleton Knights, Wraith.
Notes: Use the Gem-studded Key to open this door; go through it and you receive
a message that the room is alive with the presence of a wizard of old; this
advances the Ammath Wizard Quest. Head northeast and defeat a Dark Naga, 2
Master Spectres, 2 Master Wights, a Zombie Lord, 2 Master Shadows, and 2 Mohrg.
Use the ambush round to get close to the Dark Naga and weaken the core group of
enemies with area-effect spells; I also found Chain Lightning to be very useful
for this battle (remember to cast it on the center target of a group so that
you can have it radiate out to the surrounding targets within range). Get rid
of the Dark Naga first, and have your Cleric use Turn Undead to paralyze and
destroy some of the creatures. After the battle take the wand dropped by the
Dark Naga and head north to a long antechamber of the main room; search 3
bookshelves and a shelf in this area to find a few magic items. Search the dark
patch of bricks on the southwest wall of the antechamber (look south from the
graphic of a giant red book on a desk) and you will find a hidden door, go
through. In the bedroom you will find an Idolon and some other items on a
bookcase. You will also find a trapped phylactery at the foot of the bed, have
your party stand back and send a strong character to destroy it. Exit to the
antechamber and enter the room northeast; search the bookcase to find a
Decaying Parchment and a Scroll. Enter the southeast room and search a cabinet,
then go to the next room southeast. In this room you will find items on the
floor next to the corpse, on the bookcase and on a table, take what you like
and search the dark brick patch on the southwest wall to find a hidden door.
Have a Sorcerer stand in the doorway and cast Globe of Invulnerability, then
have a melee fighter step slightly into the room while remaining within the
globe. This will trigger a battle with Thygaast Ammath, the wizard you were
told about. After the ambush round send your melee fighters forward to gang up
on Thygaast so she cannot cast spells; then just hack her to pieces; this
completes the Ammath Wizard Quest. Plunder the contents of 3 chests, a bookcase
and a table in Thygaast’s room. Go back to the spot where you defeated the Dark
Naga and head southeast until you come to an accessible shelf, examine it. Go
through the wooden door south, then through the southwest door of the next
room. In a huge storeroom are 11 Mohrg and a Master Wight. As soon as I saw
them coming I backed out into the previous room I was in and set a melee
fighter to block the door, then I used block and blast tactics to finish this
group off. Take the powerful weapons dropped by the Mohrg and return to
Gem-studded Key door. Go north and pass through an opening in the wall, open
the northwest wooden door. In this room you must defeat a Mohrg, 2 Skeleton
Knights and a Wraith. Take the treasure they drop and then search the cabinet,
reinforced chest (nice suit of armor), bookcase, shelf and table (here you will
find the Delicate Gold Key); throughout this room you will find many magic
items with unknown effects. Rest, then use the Delicate Gold Key to open the
northwest door.

potion of Haste Level 10, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Lightning Bolt Level 10, potion
of Spell Resistance level 10, potion of Heal Level 20. From the bedroom

ruined arch and you will encounter 3 Freth Drow Scouts. Defeat them and go
through the open metal doors north. You can pick the lock on the northeast wall
doors then open the metal doors on the southwest wall of this hall and you set
off a battle with 2 Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult Lieutenant, a Cult Archmage, a
Dragon-kin and 4 Enthralled Drow. Note that as you open the door you hear a
message about taking something all the way back up to the castle. Get your
melee fighters close to that Archmage to stop him casting; I used Destruction
to wipe out the Dragon-kin right away; the rest can be wiped out pretty easily
with standard tactics. Take the treasure dropped after the battle (includes
Heavy Key) and the treasure already on the floor. Sleep here, use the Heavy Key
to open the wooden door on the northwest wall and go through to return to
Stillwater; to return, Left-Click on the cavern you emerged from and select
“Return to the far northeast of the Lower Keep”. Exit to where you battle the 3
Freth Drow Scouts and defeat them again. Go east and enter a wooden door;
defeat 2 Mohrg and exit; go south into the intersection of a hall. Go southeast
and you will have to defeat 2 Shadows and a Master Shadow who wander out from
the southwest room of this hall. Pass south through their room, go southeast to
a confrontation with 5 Wights and 2 Master Wights wandering out of their room.
Defeat them and go southeast down their hall until you reach an intersection.
Head southwest and you will come to a set of heavy wooden doors on the
southwest wall and a wooden door on the southeast wall opposite it. Go through
the wooden door and rest by the fountain. Then and open the heavy wooden doors
with the Bent Elven Key. Note that you should put you best melee fighters up
front before opening the door. Beyond these doors is an army of undead; 3 Mohrg
and 9 Wights (the Wights can be destroyed with Turn Undead so this should be an
easy battle).
Acquire: From Dragon-kin battle, Wand of Magic Missiles Level 10, 6 charges;
Heavy Key; Cult Map of Lower Keep; Ring of Health, +1 Con, can cast 4 Level 20
Cure Serious Wound Spells (gave to Emmeric).

Notes: Go south to an intersection, then southwest to a wall; head northwest
until you see an open door in a southwest alcove, pass through the two rooms
beyond this door and defeat a Revenant. Exit back to the hall and go east to an
intersection, go northeast until you spot a hall leading east, take this hall
to a broken wooden door on a southern wall, enter the room beyond it. Open a
wooden door on the southwest wall and enter the next room. Go through the next
wooden door southwest and defeat 11 Margoyles and a Margoyle Queen spread over
two rooms. Use block and blast tactics. Take the treasure from both rooms and
then exit through the southwest door of the second room. Go southeast to an
open door, in the room beyond you must defeat 3 Margoyle and a Margoyle Queen.
Go through the heavy wooden doors southeast and defeat 4 Wights and 2 Mohrg.
Take the items from the two tables and then search the southeast wall to find a
hidden door. Ignore or Listen, it doesn’t seem to matter, then stand to the
west of the hidden door and open it. In this room are 2 Mohrg, a Zombie Lord, a
Master Wight, a Orog Marauder Hoodoo and a Dark Naga; get melee fighters close
to the enemy magic users; you can paralyze the Zombie Lord and Master Wight
with Turn Undead; I got in a lucky hit that wiped out the Dark Naga with a
Disintegrate spell, maybe you should try it. After the battle take the dropped
and table top items then exit back all the way back to the hall. Bear west
until you see a row of pillars stretched across the hall, then head west to a
wooden door on the northeast side of the hall you enter. Defeat 3 Mohrg and 2
Wights, sleep here, then exit and go south until you spot a broken door on the

Enemies: 3 Arraccats, 9 Guard Arraccats, 6 Black Arraccats, 10 Freth Drow
Commandos, Freth Drow Priest, Freth Drow Commander, Spectre, 5 Wraiths.
Notes: The halls you will walk through in this event are riddled with Trap
Runes that cast hostile area effect spells. KEEP CLOSE TO THE WALLS to avoid
the traps, which are located in the middle open areas of the halls. Go through
the northern metal doors, then pass through the metal doors on the eastern wall
to an adjoining room, then exit this room through the northern doors. Head
north to a wall and follow it northwest to a battle with an Arraccat, 3 Guard
Arraccats and 2 Black Arraccats. Confusion is you best tool for defeating these
beasts; after the battle bear southwest from the entrance to their alcove until
you find a hall heading south. Enter the heavy wooden door on the northeast
wall near the southern hall. Get your people into the eastern corner of the
room you enter, have one person stand directly in front of the southeast door,
then open the heavy wooden door on the northeast wall; this triggers a
confrontation with 10 Freth Drow Commandos, a Freth Drow Priest and a Freth
Drow Commander. As soon as you can block the northeast door and send Confusion
spells and offensive magic into the room beyond. When you are ready, open the
southeast door and do the same thing. After the battle take the two dropped
piles of treasure, (one contains the Old Elven Prison Key). Rest and exit back
to the hall; go southeast to an intersection, then head east to a confrontation
with 2 Black Arraccats, a Guard Arraccat and an Arraccat. After the battle go
southeast to a hall with an intersection; go down the southeast hall and defeat
an Arraccat, a Black Arraccat, and 2 Guard Arraccats who come wandering from a
northeast room. Defeat them, take the gems they guarded in their room, exit and
go through the door west, across the hall. Open the southeast heavy wooden door
in this room and defeat a Spectre (can hold with Turn Undead). Go all the way
back to the door of the Freth Drow room and head west; defeat a Guard Arraccat,
a Black Arraccat and an Arraccat then go south to a broken wooden door. Defeat
2 Guard Arraccats and take the items on the table. Exit to the hall and go east
to a set of metal doors; unlock these doors with the Old Elven Prison Key.
Spread over the three rooms on the other side of this door are 5 Wraiths you
must defeat (can hold with Turn Undead). Rest here, then head southeast until
you see a wooden door on a northeast wall, use it to return to Stillwater; to
return to where you were, Left-Click on the entrance to the cavern you emerged
from and select “Return to the Prison Cells of the Lower Keep”.

Arraccats, 3 Black Arraccats, 2 Arraccats, 17 Wights, 2 Wraiths, Master Wight,

Notes: Start this event at the door to Stillwater you discovered in the last
event. There are Trap Runes in these halls so STAY CLOSE TO THE WALLS as you
navigate. Go south until you see a set of heavy wooden doors east, pass through
them, then go through the metal doors on the northeast wall of the room beyond.
Defeat 2 Mohrg and 2 Spectres; after the battle continue southeast and you will
be ambushed by 3 Freth Drow Assassins coming from the western room; I
successfully used Destruction twice to a couple out, the third was no problem.
Look in the area northwest of the well of fire to find a trapped phylactery,
send someone to destroy while the others stay back. Rest in the room with the
well of fire, then approach and stand to the northwest of the wooden door
northeast of the well of fire. Have a melee fighter with high HP open the door
and enter the room. You must defeat an Archlich in this room; get melee
fighters close to it to stop it casting and then destroy it. Rest, then exit
all the way back to the hall. Go southeast and pick the lock on a wooden door
then go northwest until you are attacked by 2 Guard Arraccat, a Black Arraccat
and an Arraccat. Defeat them using established tactics and head southwest to an
iron gate on a southern wall, then go northwest to an iron gate on a northwest
wall in a small alcove. Go through this gate and destroy 4 Wights and 3 Mohrg.
Exit, head southwest and enter an open wooden door. Open the door on the
northwest wall and defeat 2 Wraiths and a Mohrg. Exit through the southeast
door of the room with the bench; go south to an iron gate and open it. This
room is littered with undead; initiate battle and destroy 8 Wights (use Turn
Undead to destroy them quickly) and 2 Mohrg. Exit to the hall and go west to a
wooden door on a northwest wall. Go south from this door to a broken wooden
door; defeat the Guard Arraccat and Black Arraccat that wander out of this
door. Exit and go north, enter the wooden door on the northwest wall; this
triggers a battle with 5 Wights, a Master Wight and 2 Mohrg in the northeast
room. Block the door they are coming from and send spells into the room to wipe
them out. Exit through the northwest door of the first room and head southwest;
defeat 3 Guard Arraccats, a Black Arraccat and an Arraccat. Continue southwest
to a corner and you will find a hidden door on a patch of dark bricks on the
southeast wall. Stand to the side of this door and open it to start a battle
with a Lich; have your melee fighters rush the Lich and defeat it, then destroy
its phylactery near the northeast wall of this room.
Acquire: From Guard and Black Arraccat pair, low quality gems, potion of Cure
Critical Wounds Level 20.
Go: Rest here.

EVENT 115: The Sacred Staff of Sunlight
Quest Notes: In the southwestern Lower Keep you will find an Arraccat Den;
destroy the Arraccat and you will receive the Staff of Sunlight that Nathlilik
sent you to find. This advances the Dark Lover Quest.
Enemies: 27 Guard Arraccats, 7 Black Arraccats, 3 Mohrg, 6 Arraccats, Arraccat
Mother.
Notes: Exit and go north to a wall with a wooden door, go through and defeat 3
Guard Arraccats and 2 Black Arraccats spread out over 2 rooms. Exit through the
northern door of the second room and head north into the ruins, defeat 3 Mohrg.
This brought Jarial to Level 14, I gave him the Finger of Death Spell. Head
northwest to a confrontation with 2 Arraccats and 3 Guard Arraccats, defeat
them and go southwest. You will soon encounter 2 Guard Arraccats and an
Arraccat, defeat them and go northwest. Along the way you will spot a gate that
needs the Corroded Metal Key, keep it in mind for later. At the end of the hall
go southwest and you receive a message about the stench of putrefying flesh and
Arraccat eggs. Approach the open wooden door on the southeast wall and you will
trigger a very wide ranging battle with 10 Guard Arraccats, 2 Black Arraccats,
2 Arraccats and an Arraccat Mother (very high HP, can Paralyze when she hits).
Most of the Arraccats approach in two groups, a northern and a southern, the
wandering of the southern group drags this battle out forever. Your best
strategy is to Confuse the Arraccats at the northwestern and southeastern doors
to the Arraccat den (to block them), then team up on the Arraccat Mother and
slaughter her. Afterward you can use area-effect spells to clean up; try Finger
of Death to take out a couple Arraccat quickly. After the battle you recover
the Staff of Sunlight carried by the Cult Mage that Nathlilik told you about;
this advances the Dark Lover Quest. This victory brought my Rogue to Level 15;
Emmeric, my Paladin, my Cleric and my first Sorcerer to Level 14 (gave her the
Finger of Death spell). You can destroy the Arraccat eggs if you want, but you
don’t seem to get any experience for it. Search the items in the Arraccat Den
to find the Corroded Metal Key. Return to the locked door you spotted earlier
and open it with the key you just found. Go up the stairs to return for a quick
visit to the First Cellar. At the top of the stairs enter the room northwest to
find the Adamantite Key, use it to unlock the iron gate southeast of the
stairs, then go back downstairs to the Lower Keep. Head back to the Arraccat
Den and exit through the southeast door. Go south and head through an open
wooden door, defeat 3 Guard Arraccat and take the gems they guarded.
Exit to the hall and enter the eastern room adjacent to the one you were just
in and pick up some gems there. Cross the hall and enter the broken wooden door
take the gems here and exit to the hall. Go west and you will encounter 5 Guard
Arraccats, 2 Black Arraccats and an Arraccat spread out in the hall and
southern room. Defeat them and enter the southern room, take the gems there and
exit; bear west and defeat a Black Arraccat and a Guard Arraccat who come
walking out of a room with a broken door. Approach the Glyph of Safekeeping on
the western wall of this room and it will automatically be opened by the Word
of Necessity that Anorrweyn taught you. Rest here, then head down the steps to
enter The Prisons.
Acquire: From two rooms of Arraccats, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 20, 2
sets of low quality gems, potion of Invisibility Level 5. From Arraccat Den

Enemies: 5 Black Arraccat, 3 Margoyles, 2 Revenants, Guard Arraccat, 5
Spectres, 2 Wraiths, Master Wraith, Freth Drow Robber.
Notes: Go through the door northwest, exit to the hall through the northeast
doors. Go northwest to an iron gate on a southern wall and open it. Defeat 3
Black Arraccat and take the gold they guarded. Go northeast to the edge of the
ruins, then go northwest and you will see a door that requires the Iron Spider
Key, remember it for later. Go southeast and enter the ruins, you will find
gold in a wooden chest and gems in a treasure bag near some dead Drow. Go south
to a set of heavy wooden doors, enter and take more gems by more dead Drow. Go
north, pass through the ruins and then bear east and you will encounter and
have to defeat 3 Margoyles. Head east until you see a wooden door in the corner
on a southeast wall; open it and defeat the Revenant beyond. Exit and go south,
back into the ruins, to a battle with 2 Black Arraccat and a Guard Arraccat,
defeat them and take the gems they guarded. Go southwest until you see two sets
of metal doors on a southern wall, open the eastern door. In the back of this
room are two Spectres (can be held with Turn Undead) to be defeated. Exit and
bear east to the next metal door on the southern wall; you will have to defeat
2 Wraiths (can be destroyed with Turn Undead) and a Master Wraith (can be held
with Turn Undead). Exit and continue to bear east, past a broken wooden door,
and enter the next set of metal doors you come across on the south wall. Defeat
3 Spectres, then exit and continue to bear east. When you come to another
broken wooden door on the south wall head north from it to a set of closed
metal doors. Open these and you will have to defeat a Freth Drow Robber (very
weak) and his pal the Revenant. Search the items he drops to find the Iron
Spider Key.
Acquire: From near 2 sets of dead Drow, low quality gems, very high quality
gems. From Arraccat in ruins, moderate quality gems. From Freth Drow Robber,
Iron Spider Key, moderate quality gems and potion of Cure Critical Wound Level

earlier in this event.

Event 117: The Wraithmael of Drenofiend
Enemies: 8 Freth Drow Guards, 33 Freth Drow Warriors, 7 Freth Drow Commanders,
2 Freth Drow Priests, 6 Black Arraccats, 4 Guard Arraccats,
Notes: Use the Iron Spider Key to unlock the door and you will trigger a battle
with 4 Freth Drow Guards; use Confusion and massacre them (try out the Staff of
Sunlight). After the battle open northwest door and send high AC-high HP
character through the door alone to trigger a battle with 8 Freth Drow
Warriors, a Freth Drow Commander and a Freth Drow Priest. This battle is spread
out through a room filled with partitions, which works to their advantage not
yours (makes it hard to use area-effect spells. Have your trigger-person come
back inside and keep your people inside blocking the door and shooting spells
out at the Freth Drow who come to the door. Go through the northwest door and
head for the opposite side of the partition in front of you, then go north to a
set of metal doors. Open them and defeat 3 Freth Drow Warriors, a Freth Drow
Commander and a Freth Drow Priest; plunder what they drop, as well as the
cabinet in their room (finally a place to dump some excess items). Exit back to
the partitions and go northeast; take the next turn northwest to a northwest
wall with two wooden doors, enter the more northeastern door and defeat 4 Freth
Drow Guards. Go through the northern door in this room, go north across the
hall to a wooden door flanked by two benches; enter the hall beyond. Stand to
the southeast of the metal doors on the southwest wall and open them; this
triggers a battle with 6 Freth Drow Warriors and 2 Freth Drow Commanders.
Defeat them and open the two reinforced chests in this room. Exit and cross the
hall, go through the metal doors and plunder 2 more reinforced chests. Exit
from the adjoining hall back to the large hall and head east to 2 sets of metal
doors on a northern wall. Stand to the east of the more eastern metal doors on
this wall and open them; this triggers a battle with 2 Freth Drow Warriors, 3
Black Arraccats and 2 Guard Arraccats; use Confusion. By the second round the
Arraccats in the adjacent room west seem to lose it and decide to open the door
of their pen. There are 2 Freth Drow Warriors, 3 Black Arraccats and 2 Guard
Arraccats in the western room, the Arraccats will attack the Freth Drow. You
will now have to destroy all the Arraccats and Drow spread over these 2 rooms.
Note that the door to the eastern gate is on the northern portion of the gate.
After the battle exit through on the northern doors and go northeast until you
see a patch of suspicious stones in the corner on a northeast wall. Search it
to find a hidden door; open the door and in the room beyond you see a
reinforced chest, you also receive a message about watchful walls. Send your
Rogue in alone to open the chest and retrieve a powerful set of armor. Now head
west from the hidden door to a set of heavy wooden doors on a northwest wall.
Stand to the southeast of the doors on the southwest wall and then open them.
This triggers a battle with 3 Freth Drow Commanders and 12 Freth Drow Warriors,
spread over two rooms. You will need to confuse both groups as soon as you can.
The northeast group won’t make a move to open the door until the end of the
second round, so you may want to take the initiative and open their door if you
can cast Confusion soon after opening the door. After the battle search 4
reinforced chests and 2 shelves spread over the rooms you just fought in.
Acquire: From third group of Freth Drow and the cabinet in their room, Ring of
Confusion, can cast 3 Level 10 Confusion Spells; Drow Shortsword, +4

Rogue). From 4 reinforced chests and 2 shelves, 2 Quivers of Drow Arrows,
potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 20, potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level
20, Drow Shortsword +4 hit/damage, Drow Mace +4 hit/damage.

Event 118: Dueling Drow
Enemies: 11 Freth Drow Guards, 6 Guard Arraccats, 6 Black Arraccats, 15 Freth
Drow Warriors, 18 Freth Drow Priests, 5 Freth Drow High Priests, 3 Freth Drow
Assassins, Freth Drow Guard Master, Freth Drow Inquisitor, 7 Freth Drow
Commanders, 2 Freth Drow Commandos.
Notes: Exit south and head east to a wooden door; defeat 4 Freth Drow Guards on
the other side; you will find a potion on the bookcase. Exit back to the hall
and go south to a set of 2 metal doors on a southern wall. Open the set on the
left and you trigger a two room battle very much like the Arraccat Pen battle
in the last event. Destroy 4 Guard Arraccats, 6 Black Arraccats and 4 Freth
Drow Warriors. Return to the bookcase room and exit through the wooden door on
the northeast wall. Go east to a wooden door on a northeast wall, pass through
and approach the broken wooden door east to trigger a battle with 2 Freth Drow
Priests. Defeat them and search the 4 shelves and 2 bookcases spread out over
these two rooms. Exit from the second room through the southwest door, head
south east at the next corner and open the wooden door on the northeast wall.
This triggers a battle with a 5 Freth Drow Priests, 2 Freth Drow High Priests,
a Freth Drow Assassin (in the rooms beyond), and (in the Hall) 7 Freth Drow
Guards, a Freth Drow Guard Master, 2 Freth Drow Assassins, a Freth Drow Priest
and a Freth Drow High Priest.  You are going to have to fight this battle on
three fronts because a group comes from the northwest, another from the east
and of course you have the main group in the rooms. I kept my Sorcerers near
the door and had them cast in Confusion in 2 directions until most of the
groups were pacified, then I had them cast serious offensive magic like Finger
of Death on the few Freth that were not Confused. I kept 2 melee fighters (one
was Cleric with Staff of Sunlight) clearing the rooms and had 1 go northwest
and the other east to stop spell casting by getting up close to the casters.
Once the Assassins and magic users are taken out the rest of the battle is
simply cleaning up the confused masses. Search the shelf, cabinet and 2 chests
in the rooms you just took. Rest and then exit to the hall; cross to the wooden
door south and go through it. Plunder the shelf in the first room and head
southeast, plunder two shelves and a cabinet in the next room. Stand out of the
line of sight of the southeast door and open it; in the room beyond you must
defeat 3 Freth Drow Priests, a Freth Drow High Priest, a Freth Drow Inquisitor
and a Freth Drow Commander. Because Confusion rarely works on magic users, you
will need to get your melee fighters into the room up close to the enemy magic
users to prevent them casting. After the battle plunder two chests and a
cabinet in the third room. Exit back to the hall and bear east until you find a
wooden door on the southern wall of an alcove. Stand to the northwest of the
door and open it; inside you must defeat 2 Guard Arraccats, a Freth Drow
Priest, 4 Freth Drow Warriors and a Freth Drow Commander. Plunder the shelf and
go through the doors southeast. Exit the next room through its southwest doors
and go to the metal doors southeast on the same wall. Stand out of the line of
sight and open these doors; in this room you must defeat 7 Freth Drow Warriors
and 2 Freth Drow Commanders. Defeat them and plunder the two reinforced chests
at the back of the room. Exit and go southeast until you see three large
pillars crossing a northeast hall, follow this hall. At the intersection head
east to a wooden door on a northeast wall, plunder two shelves and a cabinet in
the room beyond. Exit to the hall and go northwest back to the intersection,
then head up the northeast hall. Enter the storeroom on the northwest side of
the hall; search: 2 tables, 2 chests, 2 shelves and 2 fancy barrels. Exit to
the hall and go northeast, at the end of the hall enter the metal doors south
on the southwest wall; Defeat 4 Freth Drow Priests, a Freth Drow High Priest
and a Freth Drow Commander. This victory brought my Rogue to Level 16. Plunder
the cabinet and 2 chests, then exit the room and head southeast. As you enter
the hall you receive a message about an argument regarding Greyanna and
Dreydre; continue southeast and you approach a group of Drow about to duel,
continue southeast and the battle starts. 4 Freth Drow Commandos and 2 Freth
Drow Priests are attacking 2 Freth Drow Commanders. Regardless of the outcome
they will all be hostile to you so just kill them on sight. This victory
brought Jarial to Level 15, I gave him Hold Monster, Circle of Death and
Control Undead.

EVENT 119: Treasure Archive of the Freth Drow
Quest Notes: In the center of the catacomb Prisons you will find a large
chamber with five reinforced chests guard by a Freth Drow army. Defeat the army
and plunder the chests to discover the Baneblade Faervian, the sword of Hachaam
Selorn. Selorn’s ghost will appear to you, offer him the sword and he asks you
to bring it to his tomb in the Halls of Light. This advances the Baneblade
Rivener Quest.
Enemies: 2 Black Arraccats, 2 Freth Drow Guard Masters, 8 Freth Drow Guards, 2
Freth Drow Priests, 2 Freth Drow High Priests, 5 Freth Drow Warriors,
Notes: From the heavy wooden doors go east to another set of similar doors and
open them, you must defeat 2 Black Arraccats, a Freth Drow Guard Master, 4
Freth Drow Guards and a Freth Drow Priest. This Victory brought my Paladin and
Emmeric to Level 15. Search the northwest bookcase to find the Heavy Spider
Key, use it to open the iron gate on the northeast wall. As you pass through
you receive a message that this is the Treasure Archive of the Freth Drow.
Search the shelf, bookcase and reinforced chest in this antechamber, then go
southeast of the reinforced chest through a heavy wooden door. In this room you
must defeat Freth Drow High Priest; this battle brought my Cleric (now has the
Firestorm Spell (a wider Flamestrike spell, similar in area of effect to
Fireball) and first Sorcerer to Level 15, (gave the Sorcerer Hold Monster, Mass
Suggestion, Control Undead. Search 2 bookcases and two shelves in this room the
exit. Enter the next room northeast (it has a heavy wooden door) and you
receive a message that this is where the Drow keep their legendary weapons and
armor. Search the table, chest and shelf; exit and continue northeast; open the
next heavy wooden door and you receive a message about magical items relieving
themselves. Search the table and reinforced chest, then rest here. Exit and
approach the partition north; stay behind the partition and click on one of the
Freth Drow you spot wandering on the other side. The large chamber north of
this partition contains, 5 Freth Drow Warriors, 4 Freth Drow Guards, a Freth
Drow Priest, a Freth Drow Guard Master and a Freth Drow High Priest. I simply
stayed behind the partition and let the Freth Drow come to greet my party. As
they  approached from either side trying to flank I used Confusion or Finger of
Death and I had my melee fighters finish them off. After the battle search the
5 reinforced chests of the large chamber you have just cleared. When you open
the northernmost chest the spirit of Hachaam Selorn appears, ask the ghost who
it is, ask the ghost about Faervian, give the sword to the ghost, he cannot
take it but he tells you to return the sword you have found to his tomb; this
advances the Baneblade Rivener Quest.

Event 120: Draedsword Daemoniac
Enemies: 2 Spectres, 19 Mohrg, Revenant, 2 Liches, 2 Archliches, 3 Master
Spectres, 3 Master Shadows, 5 Margoyles, 4 Wights, Master Wight, 2 Master
Wraiths,
Notes: Exit through the southwest door and go southeast to a patch of
suspicious stones on the south wall; search here to find a hidden door. Pass
through the hidden room, then through the iron gate southeast and exit to the
hall beyond. Head southwest to another iron gate on the northeast wall, go
through and defeat 2 Spectres and a Mohrg. Afterward exit and head southeast to
the wall, then southwest to a set of iron gates above which is a “rune writ in
ever-fresh blood”. Go through the gate and open the another gate beyond it;
move forward and engage a Revenant. During the second round of combat the
battle expands to include 2 Liches, an Archlich, and 9 Mohrg; who attack from
the hall behind you. Move fighters close to those Liches as soon as you can to
prevent them casting. I used Control Undead to take over a few Mohrg and even
out the battle a bit (have to destroy them later). Cast Globe of
Invulnerability and gather your casters in it by the hall gate. The real
problem with this battle is that the Mohrg wander everywhere in the first
couple of rounds when they can’t reach you, which prolongs the battle
unnecessarily. Afterward open the coffin spewing poison and retrieve the
powerful sword inside. Go and rest in the room with the hidden door, then
return to the poison spewing room and head west to another set of metal doors
on the south wall. Open this room and defeat 2 Master Spectres and 4 Mohrg.
Exit, head west and you will be ambushed by an Archlich (get melee fighters
close to stop its casting) and 3 Master Shadows (destroy with Turn Undead).
After the battle (keep in mind we must find its phylactery), go northwest and
enter a room with iron gates, defeat 5 Margoyles, exit and go south. When you
reach a set of metal doors on the southern wall, go through and defeat 2
Wights, a Master Wight, 4 Mohrg and 2 Master Wraiths. Exit and go to the next
set of metal doors west on the southern wall; in this room defeat 2 Mohrg, 2
Wights and a Master Spectre. Go northwest to an intersection, head north into
an alcove and enter the iron gates on the southwest wall; in this room you will
find a poison-trapped phylactery for the Archlich we defeated with his Master
Shadow friends. Exit to the alcove, head south to a wall, go west past a broken
door on the southern wall and enter a set of metal doors you find west of it on
the same wall. Defeat a Revenant, 2 Wights and 2 Mohrg.
Acquire: From poison spewing coffin, Draedsweord Daemoniac, +6 hit/damage, +4
Str, +2 Dex, +2 Reflex saving throws, -3 Will saving throws, can cast 4 Level
20 Destruction Spells (gave to Emmeric; truly formidable in combination with
his Daemonclaw gauntlets).
Go: All the way back to the hidden room where you rested earlier and rest
again.

Master.
Notes: Exit through the hidden door and go northeast to a wooden door on a
northeast wall, open it out of line of sight and defeat 3 Freth Drow Guards and
a Freth Drow Priest. Exit through the northeast door of their room and head
east to an intersection; as you go you will be ambushed by 2 Freth Drow
Assassins approaching from far to the southwest. Defeat them and return to the
intersection. Go southeast until you see a set of metal doors on a southwest
wall, enter and stand out of the line of sight of the southeast door, then open
it; you must defeat 6 Freth Drow Commandos and 2 Freth Drow Commanders. After
the battle open the reinforced chest in their room and in the room across the
hall to get some gold. Exit and head north to a hall running northeast, follow
it to a set of metal doors on the southeast wall, open them and go south to
another set of metal doors. Stand out of the line of sight and open these
doors; in the room beyond you must defeat a Black Arraccat, 4 Freth Drow Guards
(two of these approach from the south in the 2nd round of battle) and Dreydre
(one of the people mentioned in the duel; she can cast Flamestrike so get close
to her as quick as you can to prevent her casting; {note that in my game, when
she tried to cast a spell, Emmeric interrupted her, hitting her for 171 points
of damage! Thank you Daemonclaws and Draedsweord! This is only the beginning of
reaping the benefits of this combination. There will be many more such hits as
the game progresses. Highest I’ve seen it go is 191.}). After the battle take
the items dropped and search the cabinet, two chests and shelf in Dreydre’s
room. Search the suspicious patch of bricks on the southeast wall to discover a
hidden door; exit to the hall and go east; open the wooden door and enter the
room beyond. Search the reinforced chest and shelf in this room. Rest and then
return to the metal doors north of the front door to Dreydre’s room. Go
southwest to an intersection, then northwest, then go northeast up the next
hall you come across. Stay out of the line of sight and open the set of metal
doors on the northwest wall. Defeat 5 Freth Drow Warriors and a Freth Drow
Commander; search the shelf and reinforced chest in their room. Exit and go
northeast; at the end of the hall go north until you encounter 6 Freth
Commandos and 2 Guard Arraccats; defeat them and go northwest up the hall they
were approaching from. Enter the metal doors on the northeast wall; in this
room search the bookcase and 2 reinforced chests. Exit to the hall go west to a
wooden door, stay out of the line of sight and open it; here you encounter and

round the battle expands to include 4 Freth Drow Guards, a Freth Drow Guard
Master, a Freth Drow High Priest and 2 Guard Arraccats. You should have ample
experience using block and blast tactics (with Confusion); apply them to this
battle. After the battle take the potion dropped in the first room and then
return to the second; defeat a Drow Assassin and then rest.
Acquire: From Dreydre/her room, Venom +5 hit/damage, double damage, can cast 3

EVENT 122: Returning the Baneblade Faervian to Hachaam Selorn
Quest Notes: In the eastern Prisons you will find a door leading back to
Stillwater. Travel to Stillwater, then to the Halls of Light. Go to Hachaam
Selorn’s crypt and return the Baneblade Faervian to Selorn’s tomb. Selorn
teaches you the Rivening Word, and tells you that you can find the Baneblade
Morvian in the possession of the Demon Rivener behind a Glpyh of the Moon
opened with the word he just taught you. This advances the Baneblade Rivener
Quest.
Enemies: 11 Margoyles, 11 Enthralled Drow, 3 Soulless Orogs, 2 Cult Archmages,
3 Wraiths, 2 Master Wraiths, 3 Mohrg, 4 Zombie Lords, 2 Shadows, Master Shadow.
Notes: Exit through the northwest door and go north into the ruins; soon you
will encounter and have to defeat 7 Margoyles (northwest of Orog/Cult corpses
in the ruins). Go northeast until you enter a hall, then take the next turn
southeast you come across. Approach the broken wooden door on the northeast
wall and defeat 3 Enthralled Drow, 3 Soulless Orogs and a Cult Archmage (Turn
Undead will destroy the Soulless Orogs and hold the Enthralled Drow; get rid of
that Archmage as quick as you can). Afterward exit this room and go south to a
closed wooden door, open it and defeat a Wraith, 2 Master Wraiths and 2 Mohrg
(Wraith can be destroyed and Master Wraiths can be held with Turn Undead). Exit
and go east to a northeast hall, follow it northeast to a wooden door in a
corner area; defeat 4 Zombie Lords (can be held with Turn Undead). This victory
gave a level to my Rogue to be applied beyond her Level 16 Rogue Class; I chose
to put her extra level into the Fighter Class, to expand the range of weapons
she could use (Gave her the Dawnpike). Exit and bear northwest until you see an
open wooden door on the southwest wall; go through and approach the broken
wooden door on the northwest wall. Initiate combat with 4 Margoyles in the
northwest room and destroy them. Exit back to the hall and go northwest to an
encounter with 8 Enthralled Drow and a Cult Archmage; use established tactics
to defeat them. Continue northwest until you see an alcove north with an open
wooden door leading southwest; (use Turn Undead to) defeat 2 Shadows and a
Master Shadow in the room beyond. Head back down the hall southeast and Go
through the metal double doors on the northeast wall; defeat a Mohrg and 2
Wraiths. Use the wooden door on the back wall of this room to return to
Stillwater. Left-Click the cavern entrance and select “Return to the Halls of
Light”. Exit through the south door and bear east until you reach an eastern
wall. Go north and pass through the northwest door you find nearby. Bear north
again and you will find the tomb of Hachaam Selorn. Right-Click on the tomb and
select “Place Sword of the Eye”. Speak to Selorn’s ghost and say you returned
the sword, he gives you the Rivening Word and tells you to look for the Glpyh
of the Moon. This advances the Baneblade Rivener Quest; now you must find the
Baneblade Morvian guarded by the Demon Rivener behind a Moon Glyph. Go back and
take the door to Stillwater, then Left-Click on the cavern entrance and select
“Return to the Catacomb Prisons”.
Go: Once back in the Prisons go to the ruins where you defeated the Margoyles
earlier in this event.

Event 123: Kya Mordrayn’s Not Going to Be Happy

Enthralled Drow, 3 Cult Archmages, 2 Spectres, 2 Cult Soldier Elites, 2
Dragon-kin, Dragon-kin Captain.
Notes: Go north from the ruins to a hall running northeast, follow this hall
and you will encounter a Cult Lieutenant and 4 Soulless Orogs. Now go back
southwest down this same hall and go northwest at the intersection. Soon you
will spot a wooden door on a southwest wall; go through this door and the
southwest door beyond, go northwest and you will encounter a battle between 5
Margoyles and a Margoyle Queen vs. 6 Enthralled Drow and a Cult Archmage.
Destroy the Archmage first, then wipe out the rest using established tactics;
note that the Margoyle Queen won’t come out of her room so you’ll have to go in
and get her. Rest and then exit to the hall; go northwest until you see an open
wooden door on a northeast wall; enter the room and destroy 7 Margoyles. Exit
to the hall, head southeast to the intersection and go northeast to the next
intersection. Go up the hall northwest; go through the iron gate on the
northeast wall and defeat 2 Spectres; exit to the hall and continue northwest
to the next intersection. Go northeast to a set of metal doors on a northern
wall and open them. Stand to the north of the door on the western wall, then
open it to begin combat with 4 Soulless Orogs, 4 Enthralled Drow, a Cult
Lieutenant and a Cult Archmage. Use established tactics to defeat this group
then exit through the northern door. Go through the wooden door north on the
northeast wall; then go through the next wooden door northeast and defeat 3
Mohrg. Exit to the hall and go west until you see a hall running northwest;
take this hall and you will encounter and have to defeat 4 Master Wraiths that
come wandering from the northeast broken wooden door. Go back down the hall
southeast and take the next turn southwest. When you reach the wall, go
northwest, (keep close to the northeast side of the wall), pass through wooden
door and you will find a staircase that leads up to the Nightingale Court; make
a brief visit and return to the Prisons. Rest here and then exit through the
southeast door Approach the metal doors on the southwest wall and you view a
cut scene in which you see Kya Mordrayn anxious for the destruction of your
party and a Cult leader who has unlocked the doors to prepare for your arrival.
After the cut scene stand to the north of the metal doors (out of the line of
sight) and open them. Inside you must defeat 6 Cult Solider Elites, a Cult
Lieutenant, a Cult Archmage and 4 Soulless Orogs; I kept my characters
concealed through the ambush and first rounds of combat and let the Cult
Archmage and his followers come out to us. Then I sent my melee fighters into
slaughter mode and blocked the door; I had the Cleric destroy the Soulless
Orogs, and had my Sorcerer’s cast Confusion and Finger of Death left and right.
After the first army is defeat a second army appears, this one is made up of 2
Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult Lieutenant and a Cult Archmage, 2 Dragon-kin, a
Dragon-kin Captain and 4 Enthralled Drow. Keep close to the door and wait for
them to come to you. As they start rounding the stone partition rush forward
and engage them; note that you can use Confusion and Finger of Death
effectively against the Dragon-kin.
Go: After the battle go and sleep by the staircase, then return to the scene of
the battle and bear northwest past the partitions; go southwest when you reach
a large open hall. Approach the metal doors on the southeast wall.

Event 124: The Cult Fortress
Enemies: 10 Cult Soldier Elites, 4 Cult Lieutenants, 2 Dragon-kin, 10 Cult
Recruits, 8 Cult Mage Recruits, 5 Cult Archmages, 2 Soulless Orogs, 10 Cult
Brigadiers, 2 Cult Overseers, Cult Marshall, Cult Mage, 7 Enthralled Drow,
Notes: Open the metal doors and defeat 2 Cult Soldier Elites; go southeast
through the heavy wooden doors and bear south to enter the storehouse, then go
southwest until you spot 3 Cult Soldier Elites and a Cult Lieutenant behind
some wooden partitions, engage and destroy them. Exit back through the metal
doors to the large hall and head southwest. At the next intersection go
northwest and open a set of metal doors on a northern stone partition wall. As
soon as you open these doors you begin a battle with 2 Dragon-kin; in the
second round of battle 4 Cult Recruits and a Cult Lieutenant approach from the
west and 6 more Cult Recruits (these keep sparring for some reason) and another

Cult Lieutenant approach from the east. I found Circle of Death very effective
against all the Recruits in this area. After the battle search the bookcase in
this hall and the fancy barrel to the west. Open the western metal doors on the
northern wall and defeat 4 Cult Mage Recruits and a Cult Archmage; search the
table and cabinet and exit to the hall. Approach the eastern metal doors on the
northern wall and you will witness a battle between 4 Cult Mage Recruits and a
Cult Archmage vs. a Soulless Orog. After their attack room storm the room and
kill them all. This brought Jarial to Level 16, I gave him a point to
Constitution and the Incendiary Cloud Spell. Exit through the stone partition
wall’s metal doors and go southeast to the intersection. Head south to a hall
running southwest, go through the northwest metal doors and defeat a Cult
Brigadier and 2 Cult Soldier Elites. This victory brought Emmeric to Level 16
(now gets up to 5 attacks per round). Take the Blackened Key dropped by the
Brigadier and use it to open the metal doors northeast. Exit through the
northwest doors of the Brigadier’s room and defeat 4 more Cult Brigadiers; they
are tough fighters with high AC scores so Confuse them before you start to
fight. This victory brought to Level 16 my Cleric (gave her a point of
Constitution), Paladin (I gave him a point of Strength; now gets up to 4
attacks per round), and first Sorcerer (gave her a point of Charisma and the
Incendiary Cloud Spell). Immediately following the battle an ambush occurs; 2
Cult Brigadiers, 2 Cult Archmages and a Cult Overseer approach from the
southeast and 2 more Cult Brigadiers and a Cult Marshall approach from the
southwest. The general strategy is to use Confusion on the Brigadiers and
offensive area-effect spells on the magic users. After the battle, rest in the
Brigadier’s room and then exit northwest. Enter the first set of metal doors on
the northeast wall and search 2 wooden chests; then enter the next set of metal
doors and defeat 3 Cult Soldier Elites and a Soulless Orog; search the 2 chests
here. Exit and go west, open a wooden door on a southwest wall and kill a Cult
Lieutenant inside; search the two reinforced chests and the shelf in his room.
Exit through the southeast door and bear southeast and pass through a narrow
hall. When you reach a clearing head south until you see a row of arches
southwest, pass under these arches and eventually you will see a wooden door on
the southeast wall in a corner, enter the room beyond. Here you must defeat a
Cult Mage and 2 Enthralled Drow; plunder the dropped treasure and the
reinforced chest in this room. Exit and go northeast until you spot a wooden
door on a northwest wall; enter it and defeat a Cult Archmage and 3 Enthralled
Drow; plunder the treasure bag and reinforced chest. Stay out of the line of
sight and open the northwest wooden door; defeat a Cult Overseer and 2
Enthralled Drow; search the shelf, reinforced chest, table, bookcase and
dropped treasure. Go through the southeast door and defeat a Cult Brigadier who
is not afraid of you. Take the Simple Iron Key and note off the table, plunder
the three reinforced chests, rest, and then exit through the northeast door

EVENT 125: The Baelnorn
Quest Notes: Free Miroden Silverblade from his Cult captors in the northwest
area of the Prisons in the catacombs to complete the Dragonjaw Quest and to
receive the Myth Raveling Quest.
Enemies: 18 Cult Soldier Elites, Soulless Orog, 5 Cult Brigadiers, Cult
Marshall, Cult Lieutenant, 6 Master Shadows, 2 Shadows, 2 Cult Archmages, Cult
Overseer.
Notes: Open the metal doors and a battle begins with 2 Cult Soldier Elites. In
the second round the battle expands to include 5 more Cult Soldier Elites and a
Soulless Orog in the southeast room. Defeat them using standard tactics, then
plunder the reinforced chest in the southeastern room, and two reinforced
chests in the northwestern room. Go through the southwest door of the main room
and you will trigger a battle with 4 Cult Brigadiers, 4 Cult Soldier Elites, a
Cult Marshall, and a Cult Lieutenant; Confuse and slaughter them. Take the
Black Steel Key and the note dropped after the battle. You can sleep where you
are then enter the revealed door on the northwest wall of this hall to trigger
a battle with 6 Master Shadows and 2 Shadows (just Turn Undead to destroy
them); after the battle search the well to find the Wraithmael Shield. Rest and
exit from the well room, head southeast to a set of metal doors; stand in front
of them and cast Globe of Invulnerability; now open the doors to set off a
battle with 7 Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult Brigadier, 2 Cult Archmages, Cult
Overseer. After you withstand the first assault of magic use Confusion and
area-effect spells to weaken the enemy, then storm the room with melee fighters
and finish them off. When the last Cult member falls Miroden Silverblade, the
Baelnorn, proclaims his freedom and transports your party to a secret room.
Approach him and he continues to speak, once he gives you a moment to respond,
Tell him Anorrweyn sent you, ask why the Cult let him live, ask him to tune the
Mythal, ask why he is no longer the Protector, ask him where a new Gem can be
found, ask him who can serve as Communicant; he asks you to create a new Gem of
the Weave and to beg Anorrweyn Evensong to become the new Communicant. This
completes the Dragonjaw Quest and bestows the Myth Raveling Quest. Plunder the
3 chests in the Baelnorn’s room (I don’t know who he thinks he is kidding about
his fabulous treasures), then exit through the portal he has created for you.
You arrive in the northeast area of the Nightingale Court, go find Anorrweyn at
the Shrine of Mystra. Tell her that you rescued the baelnorn from the Cult,
tell her Miroden destroyed the Sapphire, tell her she must become a Communicant
of the Weave; she marks you with the fire tattoo so you can pass Antarn’s Gate
(just east of the Hall of Wizards on the Speculum Grounds) and asks you to
fetch a new gem from Harldain Ironbar.

Notes: Once you arrive in Stillwater, go to the tree house to see Beriand and

Cult Archmages, a Cult Brigadier, 2 Cult Soldiers and a Cult Lieutenant. This
victory brought my Rogue to Level 2 Fighter/Level 16 Rogue. Take the items
dropped by the enemy and rest, then go through the portal. On the other side
you must defeat 2 Cult Soldiers, a Cult Mage and 3 Enthralled Drow. After the
battle Faeril and Beriand escape from their cell and greet you; ask how they
escaped, ask why the Cult is angry, then urge them to leave. This completes the
False Haven Quest. Take the Flat Brass Key dropped after the battle; drink from
the fancy barrel labeled “7” to get an HP boost (I gave to Cleric). Stand

EVENT 127: The Gem of the Weave (SURFACE MAP)
Quest Notes: Return to the House of Gems and speak to Harldain Ironbar about
your need for a new Gem of the Weave. You will then receive the Tumblebar which
will open the Dwarven Horde hidden beneath a broken statue in the courtyard of
the House of Gems. Enter the Horde and claim the Gem of the Weave. Go through
the gate of Antarn, just east of the Hall of Wizards on the Speculum Grounds,
and place the Gem of the Weave on the Altar of the Mythal at the top of the
trail beyond the gate. This completes the Myth Raveling Quest. Afterward, speak
to Anorrweyn and Miroden in the Baelnorn’s secret lair to receive the Cost of
Dreams Quest (use the Word of Redemption to destroy the Sapphire of the Weave,
which is in the possession of Kya Mordrayn). Note: Before returning the Gem of
the Weave to the Altar of the Mythal, speak to Odelinde about Castle Cormanthor
to receive a warning about its defenses; this grants you the Ancient Defenses
Quest.
Enemies: 2 Gargoyles, 14 Doomkin Cult Fighters, Azmark Duathel.
Notes: Use the cavern entrance to return to the Halls of Light, then go to the
far eastern area of the Halls and go up the stairs to the House of Gems Tower.
Climb to the roof of the tower (up three flights of stairs) and defeat 2
Gargoyles; take the Gauntlets they drop and return to the ground floor. Go
through the western fortified door to reenter the House of Gems. Go up the
stairs and speak to Harldain Ironbar, ask where you go to enter the Hoard, ask
what the new gem looks like, ask what you do with the gem when you get it, ask
about the size of the hoard, say you must go now-ask for the key, ask what’s
happened to the Mythal, ask if anyone’s come to visit him, ask if he’s added
anything to his collection; receive the Tumblebar. (I took this opportunity to
buy Ranman’s meditations because I plan to have my Paladin branch out into the
Monk class during his next level-up).Go downstairs and exit through the front
door of the House of Gems. Go east to the edge of the building, north to the
top of the tower, west to an alcove and southwest to a broken statue; use the
Tumblebar to open the broken statue by Right-Clicking on the broken statue and
selecting “Place Hinged Device”. Head down the steps, open the reinforced chest
and take the Gem of the Weave. Go back upstairs and you are attacked by 4
Doomkin Cult Fighters. It is harder to Confuse these fighters so you may want
to immediately start with heavy duty offensive spells like Finger of Death and
Fire Storm. Doomkin Cult Fighters are kind of like Brigadiers with greater
resistance to Confusion (this is not to say they cannot be Confused, it’s just
that you will, most likely, only be able to Confuse them one at a time); you
may want to power-up your melee fighters before battle. Note that after the
battle you can rest in the alcove northeast if necessary. Head back to the
front door of the House of Gems; along the way you must defeat 5 more Doomkin
Cult Fighters. As you reach the front door you are attacked by Azmark Duathel
(the wizard collaborator mentioned by Beriand and Faeril) and 5 Doomkin Cult
Fighters; you must get close to Azmark to stop him casting spells; get rid of
him as soon as you can, then work on defeating the Doomkin fighters; after the
battle, take the items they drop. Go back through the House of Gems and take
the Tower Staircase down into the Halls of Light. Cross to the western side of
the Halls of Light and pass through the Seal of Mythanthor to enter the
Speculum Grounds. Take the northern trail to enter the Windrider Glade and go
and speak to Odelinde (approach the Temple from the eastern side of the Glade
if you want to avoid combat). Ask her about the human she met, then ask her for
Tales of Castle Cormanthor 5 times to receive the Ancient Defenses Quest. Now
return to the Speculum grounds and head southwest from the bottom of the trail;
as you approach the gates of Antarn they open automatically. Follow the path
northwest (behind the gate) and you will have to defeat 4 Dragon-kin Captains;
Confusion will help during this battle. At the top of the path go southwest to
a set of steps with a clawed-platform at the top; this is the Altar of the
Mythal. Climb the steps, Right-Click on the platform and select “Place Large
Green Gem”. Watch the cut scene where Anorrweyn cannot take control of the
Mythal, then you will be teleported to the Baelnorn’s secret lair. Approach
Anorrweyn and Miroden to begin a dialogue; receive the Word of Redemption. Go
through the portal opened by Miroden to enter the passage to castle Cormanthor.
Acquire: From Gargoyles, Gauntlets of Light Burden, decreases encumbrance by 50
pounds (gave to Jarial to help him carry his Arcane Mail). From Harldain
Ironbar, Tumblebar. From hoard, Gem of the Weave. From Azmark, Longbow +5
hit/damage, high quality gems, Doomkin Scarab, can cast 1 Level 15 Dominate
Person Spell. From Dragon-kin Captains, Dagger +5 hit/damage, Amulet of Rolling
Smoke, can cast 3 Level 15 Cloudkill Spells.

EVENT 128: The Demon Rivener (CASTLE PASSAGE MAP)
Quest Notes: In the eastern Castle Passage you encounter a ghost that tells you
to cast a stone into the well of Fates, this advances the Ancient Defenses
Quest. Defeat The Demon Rivener in his room behind the Moon Glyph in the
eastern Castle Passage to receive the Baneblade Morvian and complete the
Baneblade Rivener Quest.
Enemies: 2 Spectres, Master Spectre, 5 Mohrg, The Demon Rivener, 2 Master
Wraiths.
Notes: Go southwest until you see a wooden door on a northwest wall, go through
and defeat 2 Spectres, a Master Spectre and 2 Mohrg; Turn Undead will hold the
Spectres and Master Spectre. After the battle, drink from the fancy barrel to
get a +1 Str Bonus (I gave to Emmeric). Go up the stairs to open the passage to
the Nightingale Court, then reenter the passage. Head southwest until you see a
wooden door on the southeast wall. Go through this door and a Skeleton Knight
starts wailing about his missing leg; he tells you to cast a stone into the
Well of Fates, this advances the Ancient Defenses Quest. Bear south from the
corpse until you see a hall heading west. Take the western hall and you will
find an iron gate with the Glpyh of the Moon in front of it. Approach the Glyph
while remaining out of the line of sight of the iron gate and the Rivening Word
is spoken, a battle begins with The Demon Rivener. Keep your people out of
sight and let the Demon come out to you; when it enters the hall cast Finger of
Death as many times as necessary until it is destroyed (It normally only takes
one Finger of Death spell to kill it instantly, if you can believe that!). This
victory completes the Baneblade Rivener Quest and gives you the Baneblade
Morvian. This victory also gave Jarial an extra Level, which I put into the
Fighter class to make him a stronger overall character. Go west and defeat with
3 Mohrg and 2 Master Wraiths in the hall. This battle gave Emmeric an extra
level, which I put to the Barbarian class. Go southwest to a wall and the
northwest to a set of metal doors. Go through these doors and head north to a
wooden door, enter and note the Giant Keg of Elven Tonic on the east wall that
can cast 1 Cure Serious Wounds Spell. Enter the western adjoining room and
defeat 1 lonely Cult Soldier Elite. Search a table, two chests (one is empty),
shelf and fancy barrel in this room.

the battle you will hear Athan calling from a room southeast. Take the Iron
Cell Key dropped by the Dragon-kin and use it to open Athan’s cell in the
southeast room. This sequence bestows and completes the Undying Heroism Quest.

the southeast door and use the Iron Cell Key to unlock Athan’s cell; approach
him. See Quest Notes. Ask about the Cult’s forces, ask about the Castle
defenses (to get the Shrieking Spires Quest), and ask one more Question of your
choosing. Freeing Athan gave an Extra level to my Paladin, Cleric and first
Sorcerer. I had my Paladin put a level into the Monk Class and I had the Cleric
(gave her the Dawn Pike) and Sorcerer both put a level into the Fighter Class.
You now have the option of taking Athan into your party, he is a Level 16
Fighter, if you do not take him now you can find him later at the Shrine of
Mystra in the Nightingale Court. I did not take him. Exit to the hall and go

opened and engage 2 Cult Quartermasters and a Cult Lieutenant. In the second
round of combat, the battle expands to include another Cult Quartermaster and

the chasm you will find a scroll and the Stone of Fates the Skeleton Knight
mentioned. Go back to the clearing where you participated in the battle between
Arraccats and Undead in the last event. From there go northwest until you see a
wooden bridge spanning a chasm to the west. As you approach the bridge an elf
mage ghost appears and mentions the Stone of Fates, then she crosses the
bridge. Follow the ghost across and approach the Well of Fates on the other
side; Right-Click on the well and select “Place Large Ruby Gemstone”. Suddenly,

the hall are 2 Dragon-kin Captains, 2 Cult Archmages, 4 Cult Lieutenants, 2
Cult Quartermasters, a Cult Overseer, 2 Enthralled Drow, and a Cult Marshall;
you are being assisted by 4 Dwarven Statues. I used the ambush round to cast
Confusion on two groups of enemies and to get my melee fighters closer to the
battle. In the first round of real combat I continued to cast Confusion and had
my melee fighters concentrate on getting rid of the enemy magic users; this is
when the Dwarven Statues started getting into the battle. I spent the second
round killing off the few enemies who had not been confused (using Finger of
Death, Destruction and melee attacks). The remaining couple of rounds were
spent cleaning up. Victory in this battle completes the Ancient Defenses Quest.
After the battle my Rogue got another extra level making her Level 16 Rogue and
Level 3 Fighter. Head north from the scene of this battle and enter a narrow
hall that leads northwest. Follow this hall as it curves and you will
eventually encounter 2 Black Arraccats, defeat them and go northeast.
Eventually you will come to a hall that leads northwest, follow this hall to a
barrel standing alone in a clearing and go north to a pile of rocks. Head
northwest from the rocks and you will arrive at a staircase leading up to the
surface; ascend. At the top of the stairs you arrive in a battle with 4
Dragon-kin and a Dragon-kin Captain, Confuse and defeat them.

Resistance; Sorcerer’s Scroll of Fireball Level 10.

Event 132: The Shrieking Spires (SURFACE MAP)
Quest Notes: Climb to the top of Castle Cormanthor’s exterior ramp, defeating
all opposition along the way. When you go through the transitional door on the
top platform, you enter the Castle and complete the Shrieking Spires Quest.
Enemies: 7 Black Arraccat, 2 Arraccat Mothers, 17 Cult Soldier Elites, 2 Cult
Brigadiers, 3 Cult Overseers, 6 Cult Lieutenants, 12 Dragon-kin, 9 Cult
Archmages, 4 Dragon-kin Captains, 4 Gargoyles, Gargoyle Leader, 4 Cult
Quartermasters.
Notes: Bear north from the scene of the Dragon-kin battle and defeat 3 Black
Arraccat. Now head south to a stone cliff and bear east. You will pass a set of
wide stone stairs to the north and then a set of ruined stone stairs to the
north. After you pass the ruined steps the path will bear northeast, follow it
to a set of curved stone steps at the end of the path. Go up these stairs and
defeat 4 Black Arraccats and 2 Arraccat Mothers; after the battle take the
healing items dropped by the Arraccats and rest at the top of the platform
(Note: This is the only safe place to sleep in the outside area of Castle
Cormanthor; return here whenever you need to rest during this event). Exit back
down the steps and head for the ruined stone steps you past earlier. As you
ascend these steps you are flanked by 8 Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult Brigadier,
a Cult Overseer, a Cult Lieutenant and a Cult Archmage. Use Confuse and melee
fighting to defeat them, then take the items they drop. Go to the wide stone
steps nearest the scene of the Dragon-kin battle and climb them. You receive a
message that the gate at the top of the stairs was once guarded by the Army of
Art. From the top of the stairs go up the path northeast until you encounter 6
Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult Lieutenant, 2 Dragon-kin and 2 Cult Archmages. Use
offensive magic to take out those to Archmages, then use Confusion on the enemy
fighters and send your melee-fighters in to clean up. Continue northeast, when
the path curves north you will enter a courtyard and encounter 3 Cult
Archmages, a Cult Overseer, a Dragon-kin Captain and 6 Dragon-kin. You must get
rid of those Archmages first, no matter what; then you can confuse and
slaughter the Dragon-kin. After the battle take the items dropped by the
Dragon-kin Captain and go up the steps northeast. To the east is a broken gate,
and beyond it 4 Gargoyles and a Gargoyle Leader, defeat them and continue east
to lower the bridge to Windrider Glade. Cross the bridge to activate the path,
then cross again to return to Castle Cormanthor. Go to the courtyard where you
fought the Dragon-kin Captain and head west. On a set of steps leading west you
will encounter and have to defeat 3 Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult Lieutenant, 4
Dragon-kin and a Dragon-kin Captain. Take the note they drop and go up the
stairs northeast from their platform. Gathered at the top of the stairs, at the
highest platform of Castle Cormanthor are a Dragon-Kin, a Dragon-kin Captain, 2
Cult Archmages and Four Cult Quartermasters. When you kill off the
Quartermasters, Cult reinforcements arrive from the east; the battle expands to
include 3 Dragon-kin, a Dragon-kin Captain, a Cult Archmage, a Cult Overseer, a
Cult Brigadier and 3 Cult Lieutenants. Defeat this army and take the magic
items they drop. This Victory brought my Paladin, Emmeric and Jarial up an
extra level; I had the Paladin advance to Level 2 Monk, Jarial advance to Level
2 Fighter and Emmeric advance to Level 2 Barbarian. Go back and sleep at the
Arraccat platform, then return to the top of the Castle and enter the
transitional doors beneath a broken stained glass arch on the west side of the
platform. When you enter the Castle you receive a message about loose,
chain-smoking Dragon-kin. This completes the Shrieking Spires Quest; this also
gave an extra level to my Cleric and first Sorcerer; I brought them both to
Level 2 Fighters.
Acquire: From platform Arraccats, potion of Cure Critical Wounds Level 20,
salve of Heal level 20. From Flanking army, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Finger of
Death Level 15, high quality gems. From Dragon-kin Captain, Quiver of Arrows +5
hit/damage, Battleaxe +4 hit/damage, Chainmail +5 AC. Dropped note, Falon’s
note. From highest platform, Sorcerer’s Scroll of Circle of Death Level 15,
Wand of Flamestrike Level 15, 1 charge.

Event 133: The DragonKin Aerie (MAP OF SAME NAME)
Enemies: 17 Dragon-kin, 3 Dragon-kin Captains, 2 Cult Archmages, 2 Cult
Brigadiers, 2 Cult Lieutenants.
Notes: Go through the arch north and defeat 2 Dragon-kin who have come to greet
you as you enter the Castle (space is at a premium on this walkway, so keep
your best melee fighters forward). Follow the curving path west and then south
and you will arrive in the barrack-rookeries of the Dragon-kin. Go to the
bottom of the ramp and initiate combat with 7 Dragon-Kin (one is to the west)
and a Dragon-kin Captain. By the third round the battle will expand to include
6 more Dragon-Kin, 2 more Dragon-kin Captains, a Cult Archmage, a Cult
Brigadier, and a Cult Lieutenant (you may want to start confusing the eastern
group of Dragon-kin as early as the second round, to take advantage of their
delayed response to your attack in the west). Confusion is your top priority,
then taking out the Archmage; the rest of the battle is clean-up. During this
entire battle I only had to kill three enemies who were not confused (2
Dragon-kin killed before my mages could cast Confusion and the Archmage who was
killed with a Fire Storm Spell; that’s the easy way to get through this fight).
Search the 5 treasure icons on the rubbish mound at the bottom of the ramp,
then search the treasure bag in the alcove where the 2 Dragon-kin Captains were
nesting. Go east and defeat 2 more Dragon-kin. Go all the way to the western
side of the room and ascend a transitional staircase just west of the ramp. You
arrive on a ramp to an exterior tower; defeat 4 Cult Soldier Elites, a Cult
Arch Mage, a Cult Lieutenant and a Cult Brigadier. Take the sword dropped after
the battle and rest here, then reenter the DragonKin Aerie.

on the north wall.

EVENT 134: The Silverspear Armory (MAP OF SAME NAME)
Quest Notes: Help Nathlilik destroy the army guarding the Soul Vessel in the
Silverspear Armory of Castle Cormanthor to complete the Vessel of Souls Quest.
Enemies: 8 Enthralled Drow, Dragon-kin Captain, Cult Archmage
Notes: As soon as you transition into the Silverspear Armory you receive a
message about “the presence of untold thousands of anguished souls” and “the
pain of their unending death”. These must be the people who have played Ruins
of Myth Drannor up to this point. Head west and Nathlilik pops out from behind
a corner and urges you to help her destroy the Soul Vessel. There are 8
Enthralled Drow, a Dragon-kin Captain and a Cult Archmage to be defeated in
this room. This battle should be easy for you now; Turn Undead will halt the
Drow; use offensive spells to wipe out the Archmage and send your best melee
fighter to kill the Dragon-kin; the rest is clean up. After the battle
Nathlilik destroys the Soul Vessel and then kills herself (more correctly she
does a slight amount of damage to herself with a magic spell, stands there
embarrassed for a moment, and then is automatically removed from play). This
victory completes the Soul Vessel Quest. Plunder Nathlilik’s items; the
treasure bag west of the Soul Vessel; two wooden chests in the northern alcove
of the Armory.
Acquire: From Nathlilik, Drow Shortsword +4 hit/damage; Large Shield +2; Drow
Chainmail +5 AC; Drow Longbow +4 hit/damage; 2 potions of Heal Level 20; 2
Salves of Heal Level 20. From treasure bag, Dydimm’s Ring of False Hope, -1

Enemies: 4 Cult Soldiers, 3 Cult Lieutenants, 2 Dragon-kin Captains, Cult Grand
Overseer, 2 Cult Marshals, 3 Dragon-Kin, 5 Cult Brigadiers, 3 Cult Overseers.
Notes: As soon as you arrive in the Hall of Armathors you receive a message
about history being written by the victors. Go west and defeat 2 Cult Soldier
Elites and a Cult Lieutenant. After the battle bear north under the steps and
defeat another 2 Cult Soldiers and a Cult Lieutenant. Go northeast to the wall
and head southeast; soon you will encounter 2 Dragon-kin Captains, a Cult Grand
Overseer, 2 Cult Marshals, 3 Dragon-Kin, 5 Cult Brigadiers, 3 Cult Overseers,
and a Cult Lieutenant. I am going to recommend something you have never heard
me say before: Cast Confusion as many times as you can until almost all of the
enemies are confused, then kill them. Oh, and get a few melee fighters close to
the Overseers to stop them from casting. After the battle you automatically
pick up the Dragonbone Talisman and a portal is summoned. Plunder the 3
treasure icons spread out over the field of battle. You are so close to the end
of the game it is sickening. Save your game over and over under several
different titles if you have to because there is no going back until you defeat
the bosses on the other side of the portal in this room. Should you want to
change the make-up of your party (add different NPCs) or buy more supplies
(have your Sorcerer’s load up on Heal salves) or whatever, you will have to do
it BEFORE you enter the portal. You’ve been warned.
Acquire: From battle, Dragonbone Talisman, +1 Str, +3 Fortitude saving throws,
+1 Int, +12 Spell Resistance, can cast 3 Level 20 Fire Storm Spells; Ring of
Hold Person, can cast 4 Level 15 Hold Person Spells; Ring of Slowing, can cast

Spells; Wand of Fireball Level 10, 10 charges; Dagger +5 hit/damage; moderate

Go: Through the portal.

EVENT 136: Defeating Kya Mordrayn (POOL CAVERN MAP)
Quest Notes: Approach the Sapphire of the Weave in the Pool Cavern and the Word
of Redemption is spoken. Miroden Silverblade destroys the Sapphire and the Cost
of Dreams Quest is completed.
Enemies: Cult Overseer, 4 Enthralled Drow, 4 Dragon-kin, Dragon-Kin Captain,
Cult Grand Overseer, Cult Archmage, 3 Mordrayns.
Notes: You will not be able to sleep in the Pool Cavern you have just entered
so be careful, don’t waste spells (especially Cleric Spells). Head northeast
and you will soon encounter a Cult Overseer, 4 Enthralled Drow, 4 Dragon-kin, a
Dragon-Kin Captain, a Cult Grand Overseer, and a Cult Archmage. Use Confusion
and offensive spells; get rid of the enemy magic user’s first. After the battle
search the dropped items and then head up the center path (the one the Cult
Grand Overseer was standing on) and you will encounter the Pool of Radiance;
select “Continue you Quest”. This brought my Rogue to Level 16 Rogue/Level 4
Fighter, I gave her a point to strength. Heal your characters using potions,
healing items, and salves but save your Cleric’s spells (I used 2 potions of
Full Heal, 2 salves of Cure Critical Wounds). Power-up in this order:
Sorcerer’s cast Bull’s Strength and Cat’s Grace for all 6, Cleric casts Freedom
of Movement for all 6; Cleric casts Aid, Shield of Faith and Spell Resistance
for all 6; Cleric casts Bless and Prayer; Sorcerer casts Haste on all 6. (Use
Key maps {Ctrl+Function Key} to make this as quick as possible. Make a separate
save with your powered-up characters ready; you can come back to this if the
battle doesn’t go well. Go west from the pool platform, then follow the
northern ramp as it curves to a platform where Kya Mordrayn stands, communing
with the Mythal. Approach the Sapphire of the Weave and the Word of Redemption
is spoken, this completes the Cost of Dreams Quest. Afterward, Kya Mordrayn
splits into 3 and gets an ambush round casting Fireballs at you (Spell
Resistance will greatly reduce the damage your party will take). As soon as the
ambush round is over, get your fighters up close to the Mordrayns to stop them
casting; then slaughter them.  It should only take 2 rounds following the
ambush round to defeat the Mordrayns. Afterward you see a cut scene of Kya
Mordrayn being dragged down into the ground; when the cut scene is over,
Anorrweyn heals your party and the battle with Pelendralaar the Dracolich
begins.
Acquire: From dropped treasure, Ring of Protection +4 AC, +1 all saving throws
(gave to Rogue); potion of Spell Resistance Level 10. Automatically after
defeating Kya Mordrayn, Gauntlets of Moander.

EVENT 137: Pelendralaar
Quest Notes: Defeating Pelendralaar and destroying the Pool of Radiance
completes The Pool, Awakened Quest.
Enemies: Pelendralaar
Notes: Pelendralaar the Dracolich is immensely powerful, hard to hit and can
wipe your party out with a few blasts of flame. This is going to be easy. Only
your melee fighters will do any good against it, it is immune or highly
resistant to most forms of magic. Keep your Sorcerers and Cleric behind the
lines using healing salves or casting Heal on the injured. You will still be
powered-up from the encounter with Kya Mordrayn, and if you have followed my
guide your characters will be strong enough to destroy the Dracolich without
losing a single member of your party. Emmeric is the real heavy-hitter who will
do most of the damage (he has The Draedsweord Daemoniac and the Daemonclaws of
Gr’Zak). The Rogue will lend support with the Deathspike and your Paladin will
do a good amount of damage with the Baneblade Morvian. Do not use Power
Attacks, they will constantly miss; it is normal, steady, consistent damage
that will carry the day. Get your three best melee fighters up front and begin
the battle as instructed. It took me 15 hits and a total of 914 points of
damage to destroy the Dracolich. I used 2 salves of Heal and a Heal spell. This
victory gave an extra level to my Paladin, Cleric, and first Sorcerer, as well
as Jarial and Emmeric. I put that level to Monk, Fighter, Fighter, Fighter, and
Barbarian, respectively. There are 3 special weapons you can pick up after the
battle, examine them. Now return to the central spot of the cavern, the Pool of
Radiance platform where you were tempted before battling Kya Mordrayn. Search
through the treasure in front of the portal, then step through the portal to
return to the area outside of Castle Cormanthor on the path east to Windrider
Glade.
Acquire: From Pelendralaar, Fau’Bluhdg’Ne, +6 hit/damage, +4 Dex, -4 Cha, +1
Fortitude saving throws, -1 Will saving throws, can cast 3 Level 15 Cloudkill
spells; Plaeg +6 hit/damage, +4 Dex, -3 Str, Reflex saving throws +2, can cast
3 Level 15 Flame Strike Spells; Praung, +7 hit/damage, +3 Str/Dex, +1 Fortitude
saving throws, +1 Reflex saving throws, -3 Will saving throws, -5 Con, can cast
3 Level 5 Resurrection Spells. From treasure bag in front of portal, salve of
Healing Level 20, potion of Cure Serious Wounds Level 15, high quality gems,
very high quality gems, Ceremonial Dagger +1 hit/damage, +2 hit/damage vs.
Orcs/Orogs, Cleric’s Scroll of Remove Paralysis Level 15.
Go: If you followed my walkthrough then you have completed every Quest and the
whole city is open to you. Your characters are stuck wandering Myth Drannor
forever because their bosses are too mean to create a portal that would bring
them home. Do what you will, you have won the game.

the Seal of Mythanthor, enter the Hall of Wizards and speak to Caalenfaire and
Volun about the long-dead priestess Anorrweyn to receive this Quest (to find
the ruins of the shrine of Mystra); given by Volun in Event 73. Speak to
Odelinde the golden serpent (after freeing the Temple of Shaundukal in Event
74) about Anorrweyn to learn that Anorrweyn is the ghost that inhabits the
Shrine of Mystra described by Volun. Find and defeat the 3 Dark Naga who have

retreats; doing so completes this Quest; see Event 88 for details.

Myth Raveling: Once you have freed the Baelnorn (complete the Dragonjaw Quest

be confusing, and nothing is more frustrating then fighting for hours to clear
a board only to discover that somewhere along the way you missed a key and now
