Email Policy: If you are going to email me about this game, please put
Baldur's Gate as the subject. Or just Baldur. Also please
realize that I am not hiding cheats or any other information,
i.e. everything I know about Baldur's Gate is in this guide.

| I have finally finished the FAQ! It took a longer time than I expected, but |
| I have managed to complete it. That doesn't mean that I didn't miss things, |
| or that I started something somewhere that I didn't finish. If you find |
| something along those lines, please drop me an email. |
| |
| If you are a webmaster and wish to post this on your web page, please email |
| me first. And if you do post this FAQ on your site, please make an attempt |
| to keep it up to date. There is nothing worse than getting emails from |
| people who saw an old version asking about things that are already in the |
| newer versions. Well, maybe there are worse things, but it IS annoying! |
| |
| Also this is mostly a sequential walkthrough, which means that it will go in |
| the order that I think is a good one (not necessarily the best way to do |
| things, but one that worked well for me). Since a lot of elements in |
| Baldur's Gate can be done at any time, this presents a few problems. So |
| currently I have all the Major Plot points listed as Main Sections, with the |
| smaller areas as Sub-Sections. This works, but I'm not sure that it is the |
| best way to go about this. |
| |
| This FAQ looks best in Courier New at about 9 points. |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strange things are happening in the Sword Coast. The iron has gone bad, every
weapon forged with it is completely worthless. Bandits plague the Coast
stealing everything else that already isn't ruined. And people are muttering
that it is all the work of an outside interest bent on domination. Some say
that it is the Zhentarim, some say that it is the Amnish, although they have
troubles of their own.
Amidst all of this you have grown up in seclusion in the Candlekeep fortress, a
keep of knowledge. You have never known your parents, instead you were raised
by the Sage Gorion. You might have remained in this sheltered life forever, had
not fate played its hand. Because of the growing threat of evil in the world,
Gorion feels compelled to remove you from Candlekeep, and take you to another
hiding place where he will "explain everything".
And so it began...
Baldur's Gate is the latest in a long string of games set in the Forgotten
Realms. The game uses (for the most part) the AD&D rules to set the gameplay.
It also endeavors to create the sense that you are on an AD&D quest yourself,
and not just playing the game, but rather are in the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii. The Sword Coast
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sword Coast is located to the south of the thriving city of Waterdeep (the
setting for the game Eye of the Beholder), and just to the north of the nation
of Amn (which you can visit, Nashkel is Amnish).
The only major city in the Sword Coast is the city of Baldur's Gate, while not
so large or grand as the great cities like Waterdeep, is still a decent sized
city. Beregost is the next largest city, but it barely registers as a large
town. Nashkel and Gullykin are mere villages.
-- to be filled in later --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iii. Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Prices are all based on an average reputation, where they neither give you
the "Hero's Discount" or the "Villain's Markup". These prices were also
based on a "Super Charisma", that is, one over 18. To get a Super
Charisma start by having 18, and then wear Algernon's Cloak. The worse
your charisma, the higher these prices will be!
Note: Mage Scrolls are listed in section iv. Spells, wheras Cleric Scrolls are
listed here. (this is because you can Write Magic from a Mage Scroll but
cannot from a Cleric)
Note: Although Inns are open 24 hours a day, most shops close during the night.
Note: Your alignment effects how expensive Raise Dead is going to cost for you,
depending on the temple that you are in. If you are an Evil character in
a Good Temple, it will be quite expensive (10000 gp).

Wands
ｯｯｯｯｯ
Wands last for 20 uses, and then fizzle away. Although no way exists to
directly check how many charges are left in a wand, you can try to sell it
at a shop. The more the shopkeeper will pay, the more charges you have
left. You can also use the shopkeeper to recharge the wand (I think),
simply sell it to him, and then buy it back.

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

Xan 13 16 7 17 14 16 Elf Enchanter Lawful Neutral
Xan is a depressing person, but he is a capable mage (although he has the
very large flaw of not being able to cast such spells as Magic Missile and
Fireball!) and he has a Moonblade. If you're overly rude to him he'll leave
and never return.
Where he is: Nashkel Mines Interior (Fourth Level, Cave x 793 y 588)
Branwen 13 16 15 9 16 13 Human Cleric True Neutral

Where she is: Friendly Arm Inn, Ground Floor (x 329 y 685)
Skie 11 18 15 15 8 13 Human Thief True Neutral

Quayle 8 15 11 17 10 6 Gnome Cleric/Illusionist Chaotic Neutral

Edwin 9 10 16 18 9 10 Human Conjurer Lawful Evil
Edwin wants your help in hunting down and killing Dynaheir. If you talk to
Edwin with Dynaheir in your party you would think that he would attack, or
at the least wouldn't want to join, but he will. Although he has some bad
things to say about Dynaheir. If you refuse him with Dynaheir in your party
he leaves forever.
Special Abilities: Extra Spells, 1st and 2nd Levels
Where he is: Nashkel (x 2883 y 2959)
Kagain 16 12 20 15 11 8 Dwarf Fighter Lawful Evil
Kagain runs a Mercenary business, and one of his caravans has disappeared.
Help him recover it, and you get to keep what you find. Goodie. Take him

for Caravans, but will still stay in your party.

When you first encounter Viconia she asks you to help her with a small
matter of the Flaming Fist trying to kill her. Help her out and she offers
to join. However, if you turn Viconia down when she asks to join, she
vanishes forever. Once she joins your reputation goes down 2.
Special Abilities: 50% Magic Resistance
Where she is: Peldvale (x 447 y 731)
Shar-Teel 18/58 17 9 14 7 11 Human Fighter Chaotic Evil
When you first meet up with Shar-Teel she challenges your "Best Male
Fighter" (this seems to be randomly chosen) to a duel. If you don't have a
Male in your party, you can't get her. If you turn her down, she leaves
forever.
Where she is: Area E of Temple (x 273 y 303)
Tiax 9 16 16 10 12 9 Gnome Cleric/Thief Chaotic Evil

become the ruler of the Realms. He thinks that that is his "destiny" as
foretold to him by Cyric.

extraordinarily insane.

vi. General Strategies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
___________________________________
Play as Multiplayer, even if Alone:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
It is quite beneficial to play every game as a multiplayer (although it does
create a bit of a hassle). It gives you the benefit of being able to create
all 6 players in your party rather than depending on NPC's, and you can also
Export and Import characters in and out at any time. To create a Multiplayer
game just click the Multi Player button. At the next menu click "Connect".
Now you have to set the type of Multi Player (the top button), using Serial is
fairly easy (although it requires that you have some Networking installed...)
Now click "Create Game" (whenever you are playing by yourself in the
Multiplayer always use "Create Game", never use "Join Game"!). Name the
session to whatever you want, and enter in your own name. Finally click "New
Game". Now you can create as many characters as you want. Then once they are
all created, click the little skull icon by each created characters, and then
click the "Done" button. Voila!
Another good effect of playing in the Multiplayer is that you can look at your
inventory while paused!
________________________
Charisma is your friend:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
So what does Charisma really get you? Well if you have a low charisma you may
not be able to get NPC's to join you, if you pass a quest, the treasure may
not be as good as it normally would be, (or there may be no treasure at all!)
and shops WILL charge you more. So don't skimp out on the charisma.
__________________________
Low Dexterity, Not So Bad:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
If your stats just aren't turning out so good, consider skimping on Dexterity.
Why? There are Gaunlets of Dexterity out there that bring you up to a full
18! Don't skimp out too much since as you still have to fight to get those
gauntlets. You can find the Gauntlets at the entrance to the Gnollish Strong-
hold (see the Nashkel and Gnollish Stronghold sections for more information).
And if you skimp out on a LOT of Dexterity you will want to get down there as
soon as possible! The downside of this strategy is if you find a Book that
increases your Dexterity, it will increase your old Dexterity. So if you had
a 3 before, and an 18 with the Gauntlets, you'll get a 4 base and still have
18.
_________________
Fighting Battles:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
Let them come to you. When you first see an enemy, your first instinct may be
to run over to it and slaughter it. Well don't. Let it come to you, and
attack it there. This way if there are 50 more of these creatures, they won't
see you and won't attack. You can then pick off each creature one at a time.
This is especially useful in dungeons where the enemies may be more difficult.
So when you first see an enemy (let's say that it's a Battle Horror), turn off
the AI (it's the left button in the bottom right corner of the screen), and
let him come up to you. You should also have your archers/mages hit the enemy
with everything they can, but don't move any closer to the enemy! The last
thing that you want is to fight TWO Battle Horrors at the same time!
Also realize that some monsters (like Vampiric Wolves) require that you hit
them with Magic Weapons only. You should never use Magic Arrows on a normal
creature; you should save the arrows for enemies that need them, such as
Battle Horrors, Demonknights, etc.
Area spells can take out a lot of enemies without them even knowing that you
are there. Suppose for a moment, that you are walking along, and a Gnoll
comes to attack you. You immediately stop, wait for him to come to you and
kill him. Well, where there is one Gnoll there are probably more, so you
launch a fireball in the direction that the Gnoll came from, and immediately
hear the screams of dying Gnolls. This is a great way to cut enemies down
quickly, but you probably want to save your fireballs for bigger enemies than
the common Gnoll. (fry the Dryads instead!) Another good example is if you
are attacked by an NPC assasin of some sort. If you are out in the wild, it's
likely that there is a party of them, so you launch a Fireball (or a
Cloudkill) and kill them before they even know you exist.
___________
Save a Lot:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
There are 3 times when you should definately save the game. When you win a
battle, before you go to sleep, and everywhere else. You never know when you
will go to a new area, have your best warrior charmed, and have half your
party killed. So save often. Also don't just save over the same slot over
and over, use at least 10 slots. This is especially necessary in Durlag's
tower. This also means you should probably avoid the Quick Save. Well...
not avoid, just don't use it exclusively.
________
Resting:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
No matter where you rest, you won't get very many HP from resting. So before
you rest make sure to (after you save it, if you are not in an inn) heal
everyone with spells. You get all magic memorized during the night, you do
not, however, get all your HP's. In fact you only get 1 hp during a normal
rest (you get more in an inn if you spring for the more expensive rooms).
__________
The Guard:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
When you rob someone, they might summon the guard. Keep that in mind (you
will want to save the game before you rob someone). Also bear in mind that
the guard is strangely NOT summoned if you kill someone, like in an inn. To
be more precise, the Guard is only summoned if you steal something with
someone in the room who is able to summon the Guard. I'm not saying that you
should kill people so that you can rob their room, it's just that you can
kill SOME people without the Guard caring. How do they know that that person
attacked you?
In any case, if the Guard is summoned they will try to talk to you. If you
can get away without them talking to you, you have gotten off scot free (not
as easy as it sounds). You can't bribe them (at least you can't do it more
than once), so tell them that you'll cleave them limb from limb, then simply
leave the room. Don't attack them! Once you're out of the room you're fine,
you can even come back later and they'll vanish. This way you lose only 1
reputation rather than the 5 or so you get by killing a Flaming Fist.
___________
Reputation:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
You really want a high reputation. The higher the better. Even if you have
an evil party you want a high reputation. If you have a good or neutral
party, try for a reputation of 20, if you have an evil party, you still want
a reputation of 18 (the highest you can go before all the evil people start
leaving). Because of these various things, I would not recommend having a
mixed alignment party. By mixed I mean good and evil combined. The best part
about a good reputation is that everything is given the "hero discount", up
to 50%!
____________________________________
Stealing without Loss of Reputation:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
So you want to steal something from a house without losing reputation. It
is actually quite an easy thing to accomplish. Simply de-equip your weapon,
and whack all the people in the room until they are unconscious (be careful
to not KILL the people, so turn off the AI, or de-equip everyone's weapons).
Now you can steal anything you want. Since they aren't awake to complain
about it, you can't lose reputation.
__________________
Special Abilities:
ｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯｯ
Your main character will gain new special abilities as you sleep. The first
couple are "Cure Light Wounds" (assuming that you have a good reputation).
They come in the form of strange dreams, which usually occur at the beginning
of new chapters (when you sleep in an inn). You are not guaranteed to gain
an ability just because it's a new chapter and you are sleeping in an inn,
however, it will happen eventually.
Good Abilities: Evil Abilities:
--------------- ---------------
1. Cure Light Wounds 1. Larloch's Minor Drain
2. Cure Light Wounds
3. Slow Poison
4. Slow Poison
5. Draw Upon Holy Might
6. Draw Upon Holy Might
================================================================================
Baldur's Gate WALKTHROUGH:
================================================================================
A quick note on locations: To find out the location at the mouse cursor press
the "L" key. The top left of the screen is the 0,0.
Some locations that I list are the buildings that
the people/things are in, when I do this I try to
get the location of the door. So to find that
person/thing just go inside!
This is a sequential walkthrough, that is, it goes in the order that I went. I
think that this is a good order, but you don't have to follow it. All the
major places are the numbered sections, and the minor areas are represented by
the little lettered sections. Feel free to do as many or as little of the
lettered sub-sections as you wish.
The Treasures line in each section lists only major treasures, such as magical
items. It does not list all the treasures, like gold or gems, in the areas. I
also don't list things like potions, and I know that I have missed some things
here and there, if you find any, please email me!
Note: All of the subquest rewards were taken with a high (18 or so) Charisma. If
your charisma is lower than this, you may get a significantly lesser
reward!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Candlekeep
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions (NPC's): none (although Imoen joins later)
Plot:
- Buy Equipment in the Inn (you start right by it).
- Talk to Gorion to leave Candlekeep (x 2683 y 1756)
Note: Once you leave Candlekeep, you can't come back.
Subquests:
- Phlydia's Book
A little NE of the Inn, you will find Phlydia. She has lost her book, The
History of Halruaa Go east, you will find a shed with hay and a cow. Check
one of the bales of hay for the book. Return to Phlydia for your reward,
a Lynx Eye Gem and 50 exp.
Phlydia: Candlekeep (x 1601 y 311)
Book: Candlekeep (x 3245 y 289)
- Firebead's Scroll
Inside the Inn is Firebead Elvenhair. He has lent a scroll to a scholar,
Tethtoril, near the Candlekeep central area and wants you to retrieve it.
Do so for a small reward, a Healing Potion, 50 exp and he casts Protection
from Evil on you.
Firebead: Candlekeep, Candlekeep Inn (x 198 y 404)
Tethtoril: Candlekeep (x 3154 y 1304)
- Fuller's Bolts
If you're still in the Inn, buy some bolts, and take them to the barracks.
There you will give your bolts to Fuller who apparantly can't walk up the
street to get some himself. When you talk to Fuller, ask him if he has
any errands for you to run. Talk to him again and give him the bolts for
your reward, a dagger +1 and 50 exp.
Barracks: Candlekeep (x 1570 y 2447)
- Hull's Sword & Medicine
While you are still in the barracks, in the NW corner is a chest. Open the
chest and take the contents (a sword, and a bottle). Now take the sword
to Hull, who is by the main gate. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that he
forgot his sword. Talk to him again to give it to him. You get 20gp and
50 exp for your trouble.
Barracks: Candlekeep (x 1570 y 2447)
Hull: Candlekeep (x 3662 y 2431)
- Nessie's Green Elixer
Now we're going to finish up these subquests by going up to Nessie (the cow,
she's by where you got the book for Phlydia). Talk to Dreppin (if you
didn't talk to him before, you'll have to talk to him 3 times) and he'll
take the potion from you, and you get 50 exp.
Dreppin: Candlekeep (x 3264 y 430)
- Killing Rats
Talk to Reevor by the Storehouse, and he'll pester you to kill the rats in
the storeroom. Go inside and do just that. Come back out and talk to
Reevor again to get your reward, 5gp and 50 exp.
Reevor: Candlekeep (x 4335 y 1454)
Assasination Attempts (it gets its own category...hehe): 2
- Priest's Quarters (x 2961 y 437)
Assasins: Shank -- Dagger, 20 exp
- Bunkhouse (x 2055 y 2668)
Assasins: Carbos -- Dagger, 20 exp
Note: If you kill these assasins before they turn red and attack you, you
get 2 exp. But at least your reputation doesn't decrease!
Other:
- Learn to Fight
If you want to learn the battle system of Baldur's Gate in a controlled
atmosphere, simply talk to the Gatewarden at (x 3065 y 3899) to set up a
simulated combat experience. You get no items from it, however, nor do you
get any experience.
Orlandu sent me this:
"You actually do get SOME xp from fighting in the illusionist's place, if
you are fighting monsters he hasn't conjured up yet, up to the hobgoblins.
It is just a tad hard to divide 1 xp to 6 people and get a whole number."
- Learn to Fight part 2
Another place to learn to fight is to talk to Jondalar (x 4094 y 1331). He
will attack you, you attack back. Erik will sneak up behind you and shoot
you with arrows. Don't worry, they don't damage you. You get nothing from
this either.
- Free Healing Potion
Go to the healer's (x 3566 y 2932) and talk to the Priest of Oghma there,
and tell him that you could use a little healing, and he will give you a
potion of healing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you run away, that is. Sometimes she comes with a Wand of Magic Missiles,
now who did she steal that from?
- Xzar 14 16 10 17 16 10 Human Necromancer Chaotic Evil
Xzar and Montaron will join you on the crossroads right out of Candlekeep,
and they want to go investigate the Nashkel mines (who doesn't).

Note: When you first enter the crossroads area, Elminster will talk to you.
Subquests:
- Chase and the Cliff
Chase apparantly has nothing to live for, and is going to hurl himself off
of a cliff. You can talk him out of it, but it's not readily apparant what
effect this has on the game. (btw, no matter what you say to him, he
doesn't jump.)
Chase: Area E of Candlekeep (x 1458 y 2412)
- An Ogre and His Belts
There is an ogre here who has a belt fetish. Kill him and take the two
belts. The larger looking belt is the Girdle of Masculinity/Feminity
(changes your gender) and the smaller one is the Girdle of Piercing + 3 vs.
piercing. You may want to wait to do this until you have more than 2
people. If you want, you can return the Girdle of Piercing to its owner,
Unshey, in the Friendly Arm Inn (see that section below).
Ogre: Area S of Friendly Arm Inn (x 4787 y 1665)
Other:
- Search Gorion's Body (area E of Candlekeep)

Nashkel to the south to find out about this tainted ore thing.
Subquests:
- Unshey's Belt
If you want to part with the Girdle of Piercing (which I wouldn't), talk to
Unshey in the Friendly Arm Inn to get a reward: History of Tethyr, 95gp, and
800 exp.
Unshey: Friendly Arm Inn, Second Floor (x 1190 y 753)
- The Noble's Golden Pantaloons
On the third floor of the Friendly Arm Inn you will find a nobleman who
mistakes you for the laundry service of the inn, and he gives you his
Golden Pantaloons for washing. You can't do anything with the pantaloons
so give them back to the Noble for 100 exp. Not bad for not doing a thing.
Noble: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 336 y 673)
- Landrin's Spiders
Landrin's house in Beregost has been overrun by spiders, and that is why she
is hiding in the Friendly Arm Inn. She gives you a bunch of antidotes and
promises a reward if you bring back the body of the spider, her husbands
boots, and some wine. Go to Beregost, and into the house by the Jovial
Juggler. Kill the spiders, and take the 3 items and return to Landrin for
your reward: for the boots (300 exp, 120gp), for the Spider Body (200 exp,
100gp), and for the wine (300 exp, 75gp).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Ajantis 17 13 16 12 13 17 Human Paladin Lawful Good
Ajantis is a simple person, all he wants to do is vanquish evil.
Where he is: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 1572 y 3139)
Enemies: Bandits, Ankhegs (Ankheg shells can either be sold or made into an
armor, see the Beregost section for more information)
Treasures: Flail +1 (The Fisherman and the Sea Priestess)
Wand of Fire ｯｯ|
Chain Mail +1 |
Dagger +1 |-- (Farmer Brun's Son, Cave of the Ankhegs')
Dart of Stunning |
Dart of Wounding __|
Plot:
- We're here to pick up the NPC Ajantis (if you want a Paladin, that is), and
to do the subquests here. (they have good experience!)
Subquests:
- The Fishermen and the Sea Priestess
Seems that whenever these fishermen get out on their boat, a horrible storm
appears and disrupts their fishing activity. They blame the Priestess of
Umberlee, Tenya, for cursing them unjustly--or so they claim. Agree to help
them, and go north again to the Baldur's Gate Bridge. (unless you want to
fight a lot of Ankhegs, when you go north, stay as far to the west as you
can manage!) Don't actually cross the bridge, but head as far north as you
can manage. Once you have found the Priestess' cottage, save it, and move
the members of your party around her. Talk to her, and say that you have
come to end her "villainous deeds". After a short battle, she should talk
to you (if you killed her, reload!) and tells you that the fishermen are the
real menace here (they are, btw). Go back, talk to the fishermen and demand
the bowl, then kill the fishermen, and take their Flail +1. Give the Bowl
to the Priestess to get your reward: 2500 exp.
Fishermen: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 700 y 2643)
Priestess: Baldur's Gate Bridge (x 3989 y 720)
- Farmer Brun's Son (or the Cave of the Ankheg's)
Warning! This subquest is a little more difficult since you have to fight
the mighty Ankheg's! So if you don't feel up to it, don't try it!
Just to the East of the Fishermen you will find Farmer Brun. It seems that
his son has gone missing. Agree to help him. Go a little to the west to
what appears to be a giant pit in the ground, and go into it. Go down the
tunnels to the east, when you get the option, you usually want to take the
north path. Eventually you will find a treasure horde, in which you will
find Wand of Fire, Chain Mail +1, Dagger +1, Dart of Stunning, Dart of
Wounding, 2 spells (Dire Charm and Ghost Armor), 3 potions (Cloud Giant
Strength, Antidote, and Magic Protection), 560 gp, and Nathan's corpse. (In
case you are wondering, there is nothing else down here except for more
Ankheg's) Return with the corpse to Farmer Brun's to get your reward:
500 experience points.
Farmer Brun: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 3492 y 2328)
Ankheg Pit: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 2137 y 2404)
Nathan's Body: Ankheg Pit (x 2458 y 137)
Other:
- Gerde and the Ankheg Fighting
You may find Gerde around. She explains a few things about Ankheg's and
will let you hunt up to 9 of them. Kill every Ankheg that you can find on
the screen and she will give you 75 gp.
- There are some various minor treasures locked in the 3 houses here. Nothing
more than about 32 gp though.
Note: The Baldur's Gate Bridge is important later, and we will come back this
way again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Beregost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first enter Beregost, in addition to having to watch a little
movie (which is on Disc 2), you also get some directions from Golin Vend.
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Kagain 16 12 20 15 11 8 Dwarf Fighter Lawful Evil
Kagain runs a Mercenary business, and one of his caravans has disappeared.
Help him recover it, and you get to keep what you find. Goodie. Take him
to the Area S of the Friendly Arm Inn and he will get disgusted with looking
for Caravans, but will still stay in your party.
Where he is: Beregost (Shop North of Feldepost Inn) (x 1549 y 2031)
- Garrick 14 16 9 13 14 15 Human Bard Chaotic Neutral
Garrick will join you only after you finish the Silke subquest (see below).
Where he is: Beregost, by the Burning Wizard Inn (x 2564 y 2284)

Medium Shield +1 (Bjornin's Half-Ogres)
Staff +1 (Silke)
Algernon's Cloak (Algernon's Cloak)
Ankheg Armor (Ankheg Armor)
Plot:
- We're just passing through Beregost on our way to Nashkel in the south, but
there are a great many subquests here to do, and I would suggest doing all
that you feel you can. Especially the Ankheg Armor (check in Other below).
Subquests:
- Mirianne's Letter
Just south of Beregost you will find two Ogrillons, and on one of their
bodies is a letter for a Mirianne, who lives in Beregost. Take her the
letter and she will give you a Ring of Protection + 1 and 300 exp.
Mirianne: Beregost (x 4804 y 2086)
Ogrillons: Area S of Beregost (x 3850 y 1460)
- Firebead Elvenhair's Book
You'll find Firebead in Beregost (he was also in Candlekeep while you were
there) and he wants you to pick a book up for him, the History of the
Fateful Coin. You can find it across the street in the Feldepost's Inn (for
2gp). Give him the book and you get 300 exp, the History of the Dead Three,
and a Reputation + 1.
Firebead: Beregost (x 2044 y 2905)
Feledepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
- Marl the Drunk
Marl is in the Feldepost Inn, and he has had his fill of adventurers. He
accosts you in the bar, and you can fight him (650 exp), but you can also
talk him out of fighting. Choose options 1, 1, 3, 3, 1. For your trouble
you get 900 exp. Interestingly enough, if you choose to kill him you do not
get a decrease in reputation.
Marl: Beregost, Feledepost's Inn (x 1406 y 2640)
- Kagain's Quest
Kagain lost a caravan that he was protecting, and a noble's son was
kidnapped by bandits. Agree to help him get the kid back, and he will join
with you.
Kagain: Beregost (x 1516 y 2030)
- Landrin's Spiders Part 2
We first heard of this quest back in the Friendly Arm Inn, and now we can
finally complete it. Go to Landrin's house, it is the one just to the left
of the Jovial Juggler Inn. Inside will be several spiders. Kill them, and
one will leave behind a spider body for you to take. Also take the Worn Out
Boots and the Wine in the chest by the bed. (you don't want to use either,
since we are returning them to Landrin back in the Friendly Arm Inn) Take
the items back to Landrin for your reward: for the boots (300 exp, 120gp),
for the Spider Body (200 exp, 100gp), and for the wine (300 exp, 75gp).
Landrin: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 796 y 735)
Spiders: Beregost (x 3078 y 3416)
- Gurke's Cloak
The Dwarf Gurke, whom you can find in the Jovial Juggler Inn, has had his
cloak stolen from him by some Tasloi in the Cloakwood Forest. You will find
it semi-hidden under a tree. Take it and return to Gurke, who doesn't
actually want it anymore to get your reward: 300 exp, and you get to keep
the Cloak of Non-Detection.
Gurke: Beregost (x 3760 y 3627)
Cloak: Cloakwood Forest One (x 4391 y 3472)
- Bjornin's Half-Ogres
The Paladin Bjornin, who is recuperating in the Jovial Juggler Inn, was
beaten by some nasty Half-Ogres south south-west of Beregost. (Go south
twice, then west once) Go there and defeat all the Half-Ogres that you can
find, then return to Bjornin to get your reward: Medium Shield +1, 400 exp,
Reputation +1
Bjornin: Beregost (x 3760 y 3627)
Half-Ogres: Area S-SW of Beregost
- Silke
If you talk to Garrick, who is in front of the Burning Wizard Inn, he asks
for your help in defending the Lady Silke. Agree to his proposal, and
follow him to Silke. Talk to Silke, if she likes the look of you she will
offer to pay more than what Garrick offered (I got 400 offered). The
"thugs" will show up, but act like Silke had hired them for some purpose,
and now she had double crossed them. Refuse to kill them and instead kill
Silke (900 exp, 400gp, Staff + 1, Potion). Talk to one of the men who
Silke was going to kill to get a Potion of Defense. Lastly, if you want,
you can get Garrick to join your party.
Garrick: Beregost (x 2498 y 2267)
Silke: Beregost (x 3455 y 2143)
- Zhurlong's Boots
In the Burning Wizard Inn you will find a "pesky" thief named Zhurlong. He
was going about his business (stealing from people like you) and had his
Boots of Stealth stolen by some Hobgoblins. You can find these Hobgoblins
to the south of Beregost. Oh, and did I mention that he swipes gold from
you everytime you talk to him? Return the boots to get your gold back, and
to get a reward: 300 exp, 100gp (plus whatever he stole from you). Or you
could keep the boots, they are Boots of Stealth (stealth +35%). Or you
could give him the boots, then kill him and take the boots back, suffering
no loss in reputation.
Zhurlong: Beregost (x 2649 y 2030)
Hobgoblins: Area S of Beregost (x 1865 y 2449)
Assasination Attempts: 1
- Inside the Red Sheaf Inn (x 3273 y 2124)
Karlat -- 270 exp, Chain Mail, Shield, 38 gp
Other:
- Gyllian
In the Feldepost's Inn you may meet a very drunk lady who goes by the name
of Gyllian. She asks you to join her, but then disappears. Is she somehow
important?
- Robbing Houses
There are a great many houses in Beregost that you can rob. I would send in
only your thief, and once inside, immediately save it. Then rob the house.
If any of the chests are locked, try to pick it first, then bash it. If you
get caught, re-load and try again. If you don't get caught, your reputation
can't go down!
- Algernon's Cloak
In the Feldepost's Inn on the second floor you will find a fat man named
Algernon. Pick his pocket so steal his wonderful cloak. (save it before you
do this, as if it fails, he will attack and you lose reputation) So what is
so special about the Cloak? Well it has the obvious effect of +2 Charisma.
But if you use it as an item (click on the backpack icon) you can charm
people/animals/monsters. Cool.
Feledepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
- Oogie Wisham's fear of Paladins
On the second floor of the Jovial Juggler you will find Oogie Wisham, who
has a dreadful fear of the Paladin Bjornin. Nothing you say will fix his
irrational fear.
- Ankheg Armor
If you have an Ankheg Shell you can either sell it for 500gp, or you can
turn it into a very nice armor (AC 1) for 4000gp. Talk to Taerom in the
Smithy about it and try to get the armor made (it's the first option in your
dialogue). If you have 4000gp good, but if not, you can always go hunt down
Bassilus for the money. See the 3b. Area SW of Beregost section for the
Bassilus subquest. It will take him about 10 days or so to make the armor.
Smithy: Beregost (x 4615 y 2828)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: S D C I W Ch

stays gone for good!
Where he is: High Hedge (x 3652 y 1472)
Enemies: Skeletons, Gnolls, Gnoll Slashers, Flinds, Ghasts
Plot:
- We've come to High Hedge for a few reasons, to pick up the Ranger Kivan, who
makes a good addition to a good aligned party, and to enter High Hedge to
talk to the Wizard Thalantyr there. He sells many great and wonderful
things, magical items, and spells! You will have to talk to him twice to
get him to talk to you. Also be wary of his Flesh Golems!
Subquests: none
Other:
- At the entrance to High Hedge you will find a burgler named Permidion
Stark. He is planning the Greatest Heist of all time, robbing the High
Hedge. Of course, he gets scared and runs off. It would seem that there
are Flesh Golems inside, and that they are too much for him.
- There is an Aquamarine Gem (value 75gp) in a house at (x 1757 y 1526)

Companions: none
Enemies: Wolves, Skeletons, Ghasts, Hobgoblins, Hobgoblin Elites
Treasues: War Hammer +2 (The Dark Cleric Bassilus)
Plot:
- We're here mainly to kill Bassilus and then to take his holy symbol to the
Temple East of Beregost for the 5000gp reward!
Subquests:
- Melicamp the Chicken
In the North East of this area you will find a talking chicken being
attacked by a wolf. Kill the wolf and talk to the chicken. Turns out he
is Melicamp the Mage, and he appears to have polymorphed himself into the
form of a chicken, but now can't reverse it. You can try to dispel it, but
if you fail, then he asks you to take him up to High Hedge where Thalantyr
can reverse it. When you are back in the High Hedge area, find a skeleton
and kill it (they're around), and take its skull. You'll need it. Go
inside and talk to Thalantyr. Once he is done talking, and has told you to
go get a Skull, talk to him again. (I would save it before doing so,
however) Thalantyr will cast "antichickenator" and there is a 50% random
chance that it will work. (which is why we saved it! If it didn't work,
simply reload) Reward: 2000 exp, and a reputation +1
Melicamp: Area SW of Beregost (x 4543 y 407)
Thalantyr: High Hedge (x 2922 y 2619)
- The Dark Cleric Bassilus
As you may know from Beregost, Bassilus has a bounty on his head the size
of 5000gp. Bassilus is located to the south and east of the area, and
getting there you may encounter Footy from Beregost, who was looking at
Bassilus' "spooks". Go near him, and talk to him, he will mistake you for
a long lost parent (depending on your gender, mother or father). In order
say this, 3, 1, 1. He will get angry and lose control of his skeletons and
zombies (they all fall down, dead once more). All you have to do now is to
defeat him! (exp 975) Take at least his Holy Symbol (you will probably also
want that War Hammer +2, leave the Gauntlets where they are--they're cursed)
and go to the Temple East of Beregost. Talk there to Keldath Ormlyr to get
your reward: 5000gp, 1000 exp
Bassilus: Area SW of Beregost (x 4229 y 2797)
Keldath Ormlyr: Temple E of Beregost (x 1233 y 1064)
Other:
- Zargal the Hobgoblin
You may encounter Zargal near the center of the Area. He wants all your
money. If you don't give it to him, expect a fight. He gives 650 exp, and
his 2 cronies each give 165, so not bad.
Zargal: Area SW of Beregost (x 2886 y 2457)

- Help Drizzt Do'Urden
Somewhere near the center of the map you will find Drizzt being attacked by
some Gnolls. He will ask for your help in defeating the Gnolls. Agree and
attack them. Once the Gnolls are slaughtered, you can talk to Drizzt (of if
you prefer, you could try to pick his pocket, although if he catches you...)
and tell him about how things are in this area. He will tell you to try to
join up with the bandits in order to defeat them.
Drizzt: Area S-SW of Beregost (x 2644 y 2107)
Other:
- Teyngan the Bandit
Teyngan is a humble bandit, all he wants is your money or your life. Him
and his two bandit cohorts, Jemby and Zekar will fight you if you don't
surrendur all your money. Caution, Jemby is a mage! Defeat them and steal
their treasures.
Teyngan: Area S-SW of Beregost (x 3851 y 1348)

fish 24 hours a day.

A Flaming Fist mercenary will accuse you of banditry near the southern end
of the road. Deny that you are a bandit, and explain that you are hunting
bandits, because you are adventurers.

Plot:
- We're only passing through here on the way south to Nashkel.
Subquests: none
Other:
- Lord Foreshadow
If you want to talk to a snob, I mean, noble you can talk to Foreshadow. He
is from Waterdeep, and he doesn't care much for the Sword Coast. Snob.
Foreshadow: Area N of Nashkel (x 483 y 3526)
- Hobgoblin Camp
Camp: Area N of Nashkel (x 3288 y 807)
- Portalbendarwinden
The old (and somewhat naked) hermit Portalbendarwinden can be found near the
SE of the Area, complaining about adventurers. He is a rather unpleasant
person, and the only information that you can get out of him is that you
have a shiny aura. Goodie.
Portalbendarwinden: Area N of Nashkel (x 4077 y 2796)

3f. Temple (Area E of Beregost)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: War Dogs, Wargs, Vampiric Wolves (be careful of these, only magic
weapons can harm them!), Dread Wolves, Brown Bears, Hobgoblins
Plot:
- Not much to do here, although a lot of things happen in the Temple. (i.e.
you give him Bassilus' holy symbol, and you bring him wyvern heads)
Subquests:
- The Town Drunk
In the NW of the Area you will encounter a very drunk person, who demands
(none too wisely) all your money. He'll even claim that he is a LICH and
that he will smite you with his magic powers. It doesn't matter much how
you end this one.
Drunk: Temple (x 384 y 224)
Other:
- Vestibule
There is a Vestibule here with a couple priests inside. Whee.
Vestibule: Temple (x 474 y 864)
- Galileus
The Sage Galileus is observing the Heavens near the center of the Area. You
can talk to him, but it doesn't much matter, all he says is that there are
"interesting things" about to happen.
Galileus: Temple (x 3018 y 1279)
- Ashen
If you haven't talked to enough nobles from Waterdeep, here's another one,
and this one is twice as snooty!
Ashen: Temple (x 913 y 2439)
- Cattack the Hobgoblin
You will find Cattack and his merry band of Hobgoblins near the West Central
part of the Area. Like most talking monsters he just wants all your money.
Don't give it to him and fight him instead. (oh and you can't join his group
so don't bother asking!) Cattack is only worth 120 exp, and has middling
treasures.
Cattack: Temple (x 3521 y 2556)

4. Nashkel (AR 4800)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you enter Nashkel for the first time, you get to watch a little
movie (which is on Disc 3). This should also begin Chapter 2. As you
cross the bridge into the town, you will have to talk to the soldier
Bardolan. Tell him that you won't be any trouble, and he'll leave.
Companions: S D C I W Ch

help to get her back! If you don't rescue her in a timely fashion, Minsc
will leave.
Where he is: Nashkel (x 3387 y 1957)
- Edwin 9 10 16 18 9 10 Human Conjurer Lawful Evil
Edwin wants your help in hunting down and killing Dynaheir. If you talk to
Edwin with Dynaheir in your party you would think that he would attack, or
at the least wouldn't want to join, but he will. Although he has some bad
things to say about Dynaheir. If you refuse him with Dynaheir in your party
he leaves forever.
Where he is: Nashkel (x 2883 y 2959)
Enemies: none
Plot:
- We're here mainly to get information about the troubles that we've been
hearing about. Talk to Berrun Ghastkill near the church, and he will tell
you that there are "demons" in the mines who prevent anything from being
mined there. He asks you to go into the mine and find what is wrong, and
deal with it. After you have cleared this Quest talk to Berrun again to
get your reward: 1000 exp, 900 gp, and a Reputation +1 (for more info see
section 6. Nashkel Revisited)
Berrun: Nashkel (x 2291 y 1298)
Subquests:

You will hear from the Priest of Helm of how Brage went insane and ran off.
For more info check out the Area S of Lighthouse sub-section.
- Oublek
Oublek will mistake you for the mercenary called GREYWOLF who was hired to
kill a local bandit named Tonquin. He then offers to give you 200 gp.
Refuse it by saying that you are not GREYWOLF, and you get a reputation +1.
Oublek: Nashkel (x 2813 y 1648)
- Joseph's Greenstone Ring Part 1
In a house you will find the wife of Joseph, if you ask her for any
information on the mines she will tell you to keep a look out for Joseph,

Ring: Nashkel Mines Interior Third Level (x 1596 y 260)
- Minsc and Dynaheir
Near the town barracks you will find Minsc, who will join you if you offer
to help him free his life partner Dynaheir (he leaves if you spend too much
time not doing anything related to that quest). She was captured by Gnolls
and is currently being held in the Gnollish stronghold far to the west.
Minsc: Nashkel (x 3387 y 1957) If you rescue her you also get 800 exp.
Dynaheir: Gnollish Stronghold (x 2529 y 1440)
- Noober
The most annoying person in the entire Realms can be found in Nashkel, and
his name is Noober. If you manage to put up with him long enough, he will
eventually "run out of things to say" and wander off. (after you get a
small reward of 400 exp) Personally I'm not usually that patient, and cast
Polymorph Other on him to let him live the rest of his life as a squirrel.
Such touch choices we have in life.
Noober: Nashkel (x y )
Assasination Attempts: 1
Inside the Nashkel Inn (x 1372 y 611)
Neira -- 650 exp, Helm of Infravision, Scale, Club, M. Shield
Other:
- Daer'Ragh isn't quite dead
Go look in the cemetery for the grave of "Mark D" and you will find that its
occupant isn't quite as dead as he pretends to be. If you keep bothering
the grave, he will summon a host of Phoenix Guards to kill you. When you
kill a Phoenix Guard, they immediately return, but if you kill them again,
they explode in a fireball. Nasty.
Grave: Nashkel (x 2926 y 1285)
- Volo
You can find Volo in the Belching Dragon Tavern.

Note: I don't think that it is possible to win at gambling here, so don't try
it!
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Branwen 13 16 15 9 16 13 Human Cleric True Neutral
To get Branwen in your party all you have to do is to free her from the
Petrification enchantment that was placed on her by the Mage Tranzig. Free
her using a Stone to Flesh spell (you can buy them in Nashkel for 168gp or
from Zeke at the Carnival for 500gp).
Where she is: Nashkel Carnival (x 3253 y 2882)
Enemies: Kobolds
Treasures: Knave's Robe (Zordral)
Plot:
- The only real reason to come here is if you need a Cleric, you can pick up
Branwen (see the Branwen subquest below).
Subquests:
- Branwen the Statue Cleric
You will find the Statue of Branwen near the center of the carnival. To
free her from the enchantment you have to use a Stone to Flesh spell. You
can buy a scroll either back in Nashkel (168gp) or from Zeke who is
standing a little to the SW (500gp). Once freed she will gladly join your
party.
Branwen: Carnival (x 3253 y 2882)
Zeke: Carnival (x 3052 y 3103)
- Zordral
It would seem that Zordral is convinced that Bentha is a witch, and is about
to kill her, when you enter the tent. You can't really talk him out of it,
so say options 1, then 1 again. He will get violent and attack you. Kill
him (900 exp, 2 spells, Knaves Robe, 79gp), and then talk to Bentha. If you
ask for a "trinket" she will give you an Antidote, if you ask for
information she tells you that Volo is staying in the Nashkel Inn. And if
you say that the deed was its own reward, she gives you the Antidote anyway.
Zordral: Carnival (x 2271 y 3042)
Other:
- Lord Binky, the Buffoon
For some measure of entertainment you can talk to Binky. However, Binky
just wants to make fun of you, so don't expect anything profound from the
meeting.
Binky: Carnival (x 2003 y 3100)
- Vitaire the Thief
In a tent you will be robbed of 100 gp by Vitaire the Thief. Easiest way to
avoid this is to not go into the tent!
Vitaire: Carnival (x 1555 y 2928)
- The Merchants Two Potions
In one of the tents you will find a Merchant who sells "Wonders". But due
to the Iron Shortage, all he can sell are two potions, each for 50gp. One
is a Titan's Might potion which sets your Strength to 25, but makes you
dumb as a post. The other does the reverse, makes you smart as Elminster,
but weak as a lamb. Each potion lasts about 24 hours. So use caution
before using one of these!
Merchant: Carnival (x 1865 y 3518)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Xvarts, Cave Bears, Wolves
Treasures: Bracers AC 8 (Cave Bear Cave)

passing through to get to the Gnollish Stronghold and Dynaheir.
Subquests: none

- Xvart Village
You will probably want to attack the Xvart Village here. When you encounter
the leader of the Xvarts, Nexlit, he will summon their protector, a Cave
Bear named Ursa.

- Cave Bear Cave
Just to the north of the Xvart village is a cave that contains one Cave Bear
and 3 treasures: Bracers AC 8, Potion of Fire Resistance, and a Flail +1.

Boots of the North (Jared and the Mountain Bear)
Plot:
- We're just passing through here going to the Gnoll Fortress to the South.
Subquests:
- Neville the Bandit
How you talk to Neville completely changes the outcome. If you ask that his
men come out of hiding, he attacks you. (he is worth about 650 exp and has
a Long Sword +1 too) If you ask for all his gold, he steals some of yours
(but you get 100 exp from that action).
Neville: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 3796 y 852)
- Jared and the Mountain Bear
The nobleman Jared is deathly afraid of a Bear on the other side of the
south bridge here. Go across and kill the bear. Then return to Jared to

Bear: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 3215 y 3494)

- The Eating Ogre
There is an ogre by a fire who is not interested in fighting, all he seems
to want to do is munch. Talk to him twice to get him to fight you.
Ogre: Area N of Gnollish Stronghold (x 415 y 920)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4d. Gnollish Stronghold (AR 5100)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first visit the Gnollish Stronghold you get to watch a little
movie (on Disc 3) which reveals where the Gnolls put their prisoners, and
what happens to those prisoners as well. Also note that most the enemies
in the fort are constantly re-spawning, so even when you just kill a group
of gnolls they could almost immediately come back.
Companions: S D C I W Ch
- Dynaheir 11 13 16 17 15 12 Human Invoker Lawful Good
Dynaheir was kidnapped by the Gnolls, and must be rescued with Minsc in your
party. She is also linked to Minsc and if one leaves, the other does too.
She makes a good mage because she already knows such spells as Fireball.

Enemies: Gnolls, Half-Ogres, Xvarts, Carrion Crawlers, Gnoll Slashers, Gnoll
Veterans, Gnoll Chieftan
Treasures: Gauntlets of Dexterity (Gnarl, Hairtooth, and the Gauntlets of Dex.)
The Tome of Leadership and Influence (Charisma +1)
Plot:
- There is only really one reason to come here, and that is Dynaheir. If you
are coming with Minsc you are coming to rescue her, if you are coming with
Edwin you are coming to kill her.
- From the bridge go straight west. (the southern path leads to two Xvart
caves, but there's nothing really down there) Head up the stairs at
(x 1462 y 1326), and then go east to the pit at (x 2472 y 1265). Go down
into the pit to find Dynaheir.
- All you have to do now is to get out alive!
Subquests:
- Gnarl, Hairtooth, and the Gauntlets of Dexterity
Across the bridge are a couple of Half-Ogre guards named Gnarl and Hairtooth
and they want you to pay for the privelege of crossing their bridge. At
first they want 200 gold, but you can haggle down to 100. Or you could just
kill them. Each are worth 175 exp. Plus on one of the bodies you will find
the Gauntlets of Dexterity! (they set someones dexterity at 18, which will
be a step up for most people)

Subquests:
- The Dryad and the Oak
The Dryad of Cloudpeak needs your help to save a "wondrous ancient oak" from
some villainy. Agree to help her, and then go a little to the SW to find
the tree and the two villains, Krumm and Caldo. Talk to the north one,
Caldo, and tell them that they'll have to go through you first. Kill them.
Krumm (the south one) has a Girdle of Bluntness. Talk to the Dryad again to
get your reward: Aura Cleansed (whatever that does), an Antidote, 500 exp,
and a Reputation +1.
Dryad: Area SW of Nashkel (x 3591 y 1894)
2 villains: Area SW of Nashkel (x 3350 y 2065)
- Drienne's Cat
Just to the East of the waterfall you will find the girl Drienne crying
about her lost cat. Seems the cat fell into the waterfall and Drienne can't
find her. Go down and search the waterfall for the cat's body, and then
return it to Drienne. Turns out that this isn't the first time that the cat
has died, and been raised from the dead by her necromancer father! As a
reward you get: 200 exp, Reputation +1, and a Scroll (Protection from
Undead).
Drienne: Area SW of Nashkel (x 2084 y 2959)
Cat: Area SW of Nashkel (x 1760 y 3318)
Other:
- Ingot the Gnoll
Seems the Gnoll Ingot wanted to roast Dynaheir alive, while the rest of the
Gnolls did not, and so he was banished.
Ingot: Area SW of Nashkel (x 553 y 1185)
- Gnoll Territory
The Gnolls in the north of the area will demand 50 gold because you have
trespassed in their territory. You can pay if you want.

Archery, see the Vax and Zal "other" below)
Subquests:
- Albert's Dog Rufie
Albert from Nashkel has lost his dog, and it is up to you to find him.
Agree to help Albert and he will give you a chew toy to "entice" Rufie with.
You will find Rufie a ways to the east (he looks like a red wolf). When you
have found him, he should follow you, now head back to Albert with the dog
(or wolf) in tow. Albert will turn into a demon (or something) and take the
dog with him back to hell, for your trouble you get: 1000 exp.
Albert: Area S of Nashkel (x 1315 y 999)
Rufie: Area S of Nashkel (x 3753 y 751)
Other:
- Larry and his two brothers (Darryl and Darryl)
In the SW of the Area you will find 3 creatures, an Xvart, a Kobold, and a
Tasloi. They are named, Larry, Darryl and Darryl. Talk to Larry (the
Kobold) and if you ask why they are there they wander off saying that you
are the "wrong generation". Or you could ask for their autograph, and they
will give it to you! If you don't get this joke, you probably never saw the
Bob Newhart Show.
Larry, Darryl, and Darryl: Area S of Nashkel (x 4213 y 3452)
- Sendai of Amn
Sendai is a prickly sort, and she happens to have a very low opinion of
everyone from the north of Amn. Depending on how you answer her you will
either end up in a fight, or she'll just wander off. She has a lot of good
treasures on her, plus is worth a bit of experience, but CAUTION she has
two companions with bows and Magic Arrows! So if you fight them, quickly
move your fighters up to the Archers to take out their effectiveness.
(Alexander--300 exp, Scale, Hemlet, 29gp, Healing Potion, Long Bow, 30
Arrows +1; Sendai--600 exp, Long Sword +1, Studded Leather +2, Helmet, Small

- Vax and Zal (the fastest Dart Thrower in the West)
Once you have encountered these two, you've seen just about everything. Vax
will come up to you and demand all your money, on account that Zal could
throw darts at you really fast. If you don't want to part with your money
you'll have to fight them. (Zal--600 exp, Scale, Bracers of Archery, Darts,
49gp; Vax--400 exp, Scale, 2 Heal Potions, Halberd, 107gp)

You will finally find Prism working on his last piece here. He had to steal
some of the materials to make this, and so has the bounty hunter Greywolf

help defend him so that he can complete his work. Not long after that
Greywolf will show up, and will demand that you hand Prism over to him.
Don't. He'll attack you then, beat him (1400 exp, Studded Leather, Long
Sword +2, 102gp). Prism finished his work, but doesn't live long to enjoy
it. You get: 1000 exp, and Reputation +1. Search his body for 3gp and 2

Some Kobolds captured Galtok awhile back, but now he's escaped and they're
chasing him.

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

- Hentold and the Stolen Dagger
Near the South Center of the area you will find a would-be tomb raider named
Hentold. Seems that he stole a dagger from a tomb and ever since has been
pursued by its previous owner! He gives you the dagger to give back to the
creature that was following him. Go a little to the east to reach the cave,
go inside and the creature will ask for the dagger back, and once it has it,
it will die. You get 900 exp for your trouble. However, you may want to
simply kill the foul creature and get 3000 exp instead. Plus you get to
keep the dagger. Feel free to loot this cave too. Just because the last
person who did so suffered from a terrible curse doesn't mean that you will
too!
Hentold: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 1328 y 2987)
Crypt: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 1905 y 2838)
- Narcillicus Harwilliger Neen and the Ooze

Near the center of the Area you will find the noblewoman Lena and her
injured friend Samuel. She wants you to take the body of Samuel to the
Friendly Arm Inn's Temple of Wisdom where Gellana (the cleric there) can
cure Samuel. Agree to do so. When you talk to Gellana she'll take Samuel
off you, and give you your reward: 500 exp, Reputation +1, and 2 potions.

Gellana: Friendly Arm Inn (x 3882 y 2403)

- Hafiz
You will find the Old Dwarf Hafiz near the NW corner of this area. You can
trust him, he won't try to kill you. He'll ask for your name, tell it to
him and he'll reveal that his dreams have been about you. Next he wants to
know your life story, choose the bottom option to tell him your story, and
he will give you a Protection from Magic scroll.
Hafiz: Area E of Nashkel Mines (x 830 y 905)
- Flaming Fist
There is a Flaming Fist soldier in the western part of the Area. He asks
you to identify yourselves, and then says that he is looking for a deserter
named Samuel. He'll give you a measely 50gp if you turn Samuel in. It's
more worth it to take Samuel to Gellana.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Beregost Revisited
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treasures: Ring of Protection +1 (Plot, Third Item -- Tranzig)
Wand of Magic Missiles (Plot, Third Item -- Tranzig)
Plot:
- When you re-enter Beregost after having cleared the Mines, Elminster will
come up and talk to you again. He reveals that the Bandits are in the North
East. Great.
- Also Chloe, a mere child, will come up and tell you to meet someone in the
Jovial Juggler Inn. Don't worry, it's not another Assasination attempt!
It's just Officer Vai of the Flaming Fist. Go inside the Jovial Juggler,
and Officer Vai will come right up to you. She asks for your help in
hunting down all the bandits, and will pay you a bounty of 50 gp for each
Bandit Scalp that you give her. (you can also sell her books and Winter Wolf
pelts--at full price, no less!)
Jovial Juggler: Beregost (x 3768 y 3626)
- We also have to pay a visit to the Bandits informer in Beregost (assuming
you read the letters that you got from Mulahey), who is in the Feldepost's
Inn. You will find Tranzig on the second floor, in the first room to the
south of the stairs. Go in his room and talk to him. Set your party up
around him before you talk to him. (makes for easy killing later!) Tell him
that you know all about him, and that you aren't afraid of him. He'll
attack. No matter what happens your map will be updated showing the
location of the secret bandit camp. (i.e. he doesn't need to live!) Plus
you get 975 exp, Ring of Protection +1, Wand of Magic Missiles, 91 gp, and
a Scroll.
Feldepost's Inn: Beregost (x 1406 y 2640)
Tranzig: Feldepost's Inn Second Floor (x 196 y 572)

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

magic!
Furret: Ulcaster (x 150 y 950)
- The Wraith of Ulcaster
Near the Entrance to the Dungeon of Ulcaster you will find the Wraith of

Hulrik: Area S of Ulcaster (x 2884 y 2982)

8a. Larswood
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Gibberlings, Bandits, Black Talon Elites, Wild Dogs, Dire Wolves,
Wolves, Brown Bears,
Plot:
- We're here looking for bandits, and there are two ways to go about this.
When you find Teven (x 1458 y 2245) you have the option of either joining
(say the most bloodthirsty thing on there), or attacking. If you skipped by
Tranzig you may want to join so that you can find the camp. But if you'd
rather just attack, well go for it! (975 exp, Minor Treasure)
- If you joined up with Teven skip down to section 9. Bandit Camp, if not
continue on through Peldvale, and from there to the Bandit Camp.
Subquests:
- Osmadi's Mistake
In the North East of the Area is a Druid shrine that was being built, but
the builder's were mostly killed by bandits. One of the survivors, Osmadi,
mistakes you for those bandits, and no matter what you say attacks you,
which pretty much forces you to kill him. (1000 exp, 12 gp, Leather Armor)
Afterwords talk to the Druid Corsone to find out exactly what happened here.

vanishes forever. Once she joins your reputation goes down 2.

Full Plate ｯｯ|
Medium Shield +1 |-- Taugosz Khosann
War Hammer +1 __|
Plot:
- If you joined up with the Bandits, you will have to prove your worth to
Tazok by fighting him. Win and he lets you wander around the camp.
- Eventually we want to get rid of Tazok. He is hiding in the Big Tent
(x 3588 y 900). As you near the tent you will be attacked by its defenses
(which may or may not include Taugosz, see subquests below).
- Inside you will find 4 enemies and that prisoner that you saw in the opening
movie (the one that opened the area anyway), be sure not to kill the
prisoner (so don't shoot off random fireballs). Here's what you get from
each enemy. (by the way, you may want to get that Mage first, he tends to
cast Horror, which causes your party to run around like chickens with their
heads cut off.) Too bad Tazok wasn't here...
Venkt: 900 exp, 3 spells, Robe, 2 potions, 92gp
Raemon: 1200 exp, Scalp, Composite Long Bow, Magic Arrows, 1gp
Hakt: 750 exp, Bow of Marksmanship, Leather Armor, 62gp

the bandit groups, and also tell you that your next place to search is the
Cloakwood Forest.
- Finally open up that big treasure chest to the left. It is trapped and a
lightning bolt will shoot out. (you may want to send everyone out of the
tent before having your person with the highest HP open it) Take the
scrolls to get to Chapter 4. There is also 2000 gp in here and some spells.
Subquests:
- Taugosz Khosann
Usually hiding out by the big Tent (x 3588 y 900), this nasty fighter has a
large number of neat treasures after you defeat him. Treasures: 2000 exp,
Full Plate, M. Shield+1, War Hammer+1, 105gp.
Other:
- Treasures
Regardless of how you got here, you probably want to kill everyone and steal
everything. On the exterior map are a lot of little chests, bags, etc.,
with a lot of minor treasures (30-40 gp, daggers). As you get closer to the
Big Tent (where Tazok is hiding) the treasures get better, Magic Short
Swords, and Shields, more gold, potions, etc. All the chests are invariably
locked, so I hope you have a good thief handy! (or a Knock spell)
- Huts
Inside each of the huts you may find enemies, and some more minor treasures.
- Cave
You can go inside the Cave at (x 2411 y 683). Inside are some Gnolls that
are being punished by Tazok. They started a brawl a few nights ago.

Tent, you can also find a potion and about 700 gp in there.

Other:
- The Red Wizards
In the Ruins in the center of the Area are the Red Wizards. They don't like
people, and if you go near them they attack. Your best bet to beating them

you see the 3 wizards, stop, and launch a fireball or two at them. Once all
4 wizards are dead, go in and collect the booty:

for having killed off the Bandits. (reputation +1) Of course you have to
sell her your scalps first...
After this we have a choice of doing some more areas around here, or going
straight up to Cloakwood. The walkthrough will go to the Lighthouse, but feel
free to skip straight to Cloakwood. To get to the Lighthouse we have to go to
the Area W of High Hedge first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10a. Area W of High Hedge (AR 3100)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions: none
Enemies: Wolves, Ghasts, Dire Wolves, Ogrillons, Half-Ogres, Ogres, Ogre
Berserkers, Carrion Crawlers, Ghouls, Kobolds, Sirines (be careful of
these, they tend to cast Improved Invisibility and Dire Charm)
Treasures: Helmet of Defense (Shoal the Nereid)
Plot:
- Just a few subquests to do here.
Subquests:
- Shoal the Nereid
The Nymph/Dryad/whatever Nereid is "lost" and asks for your help to find her
way. Agree to help her and she asks for a kiss to show her affection. Have
someone (NOT your main character!!!) kiss her, and she will blast them into
a hundred pieces. After that, attack her until she talks to you again. She
says that it isn't her intention to kill you. Ask her to restore your
companion back to life, and she will do it. She then explains that she is
the prisoner of an Ogre Mage who holds her _shawl_ and therefore she is a
slave to his cruel will. (you may want to get your companions gear back
from the ground) The Ogre Mage will come to investigate the goings-on here,
and you will have to attack him. Kill Droth (975 exp, Helmet of Defense,
150gp) and then talk to Shoal to get a reward: 750 exp.
Shoal: Area W of High Hedge (x 2931 y 506)
- Mad Arcand's Crazy Adventures
Arcand the Mad (aka Mad Arcand) will also be standing there waiting for you
to arrive (why don't any of these NPC's seem to ever do anything except wait
for you to talk to them?). Talk to him and he asks you to retrieve an item
from a Pirate Ship that will "make you like me". Sounds great. Who
wouldn't want to be crazy. Head west and a little to the south to find the
wrecked ship. You'll find the treasure at the front of the boat. You will
find a Ring. This is the Ring of Folly. A cursed ring. DO NOT PUT IT ON!
Take it back to Mad Arcand to get your reward: 300 exp, and an Oil of
Fiery Burning.
Mad Arcand: Area W of High Hedge (x 2002 y 1275)
Pirate Ship: Area W of High Hedge (x 859 y 1598)
Other:
- The Surgeon
Standing there like a post is the Surgeon, a man clad in black who will
heal your party for no particularly good reason other than the fact that he
can. Sounds great! Ask him the 3rd option and he will give you a potion
before healing you (Potion of Magic Protection).
Surgeon: Area W of High Hedge (x 2884 y 2079)

(see the Flesh Golem Cave in Other below).
Subquests:
- Ardrouine's Lost Boy
Ardrouine has lost her son in the Lighthouse, and now can't go up there to
find him because there are Worgs up there. Go north from her to get to the
Lighthouse, there you must kill all the Worgs. You won't find any trace of
the boy. I am guessing that you know what happened to him. Yep, he's
hiding up in the lighthouse itself and won't come down for mere bloody
adventurers! Go back to Ardrouine to get your reward: 500 exp, 60 gp, and
a Reputation +1.
Ardrouine: Lighthouse (x 1414 y 3681)
Lighthouse Ruins: Lighthouse (x 1100 y 2950)

are mighty forces at work in the world.
Pallonia: Lighthouse (x 3425 y 1580)
- Arkushule, the Reluctant Seer
There is another Seer south of Pallonia. This one will start to read your
palm, but just when she gets to something interesting, she stops and wants
her money. Seems she saw something that scared her, and she won't tell you
what. If you demand to know, she will attack you (600 exp, Robe, 1 Spell,
38 gp) or you can just give her the money (she'll refuse to take it).
Arkushule: Lighthouse (x 3498 y 2955)
- Flesh Golem Cave (Manual of Bodily Health--Constitution +1!)
You'll find the Entrance to the Cave in the NW of the Area by the Coast. Oh
and it is guarded by three pesky Sirines (one of which has a name, Sil).
The strategy to beat them can be found below in the Monster & Monster
Strategies section. It takes awhile, but a lot less people die that way.
Go into the cave. There are bunches of Flesh Golems in here. Take a left
until you get to the room with the water in it. There is an island there,
move your mouse over it and you will see that it is filled with treasure.
Treasure: 4 potions, 10 Darts of Wounding, Cloak of the Wolf, Wand of
Paralyzation, Manual of Bodily Health, 312 gp. After that if you have
Safana she'll offer to become a permanent member of the party.

Subquests:
- The Archeological Dig for the Evil Idol
In the Center of the Area are some ruins that are being excavated for
profit. Talk to the foreman Charleston Nib, and he will ask for your
protection. Seems a variety of small "accidents" have been plaguing the
camp. Agree to help defend the camp. Then one of the diggers, Gallor,
will come up to you with another proposition, this one quite a bit more
bloody (he wants you to kill everyone here to keep all the loot for
yourselves). If you are an evil person you could do what he asks, otherwise
tell him no. Now talk to Charleston again and they will have found
something inside the ruins. A quick cutscene later and you are inside. The
diggers will go insane due to the god Kozah, and you will have to kill them.
Once they're dead talk to Charleston to get your reward: 1000 exp, and a
Reputation +1. If you would like a challenge, open the tomb and take the
Idol. When you leave the Ruins a Doomsayer will attack you, and they ain't
easy to kill! (4000 exp)
Dig Site: Area S of Lighthouse (x 2900 y 1500)
- The Insane Captain Brage
Just to the south and east of the Ruins you will find Captain Brage. He
walks right up to you and asks you a riddle, the answer is DEATH. Now you
have a choice of what to do with him. Offer to take him to the Temple of
Helm, and you will immediately be there. The Priest offers Brage some
forgiveness and you get a reward: 1000 exp, Reputation +1, Cursed 2 Hnd
Sword of Berserking, and 1000 gp.
Brage: Area S of Lighthouse (x 3709 y 1985)
Other:

you. (165 exp, Composite Long Bow, and other minor treasures)

Tasloi: Cloakwood Forest (x 4391 y 3472)
- The long tale of Aldeth Sashenstar (this is entirely from Andy Miller)
In front of the hunting lodge there, I ran into a fellow named Aldeth
Sashenstar, yelling for help. He told me that some druids had killed his
friends simply because they had been hunting in the area, and asked my
help in protecting him from them. I agreed. Then a group of three druids
walks up; the leader's name is Seniyad. He then asks me to step aside so
that he can take care of Aldeth, claiming that rather than being a simple
hunter, Aldeth had actually killed some druids. Aldeth of course denies
this.
Here there are two choices. If you defend Aldeth, you have to kill the
three druids, getting some nice exp from the kills (Seniyad is worth 4000
exp, as you noted elsewhere in your FAQ), and Aldeth tells you to stop by
the Manycoins Merchant League if you're every in Baldur's Gate, and he'll
help you out. (More on that later.) If you side with the druids, you kill
Aldeth, and the druids warn you about a dangerous group of Shadow Druids
lurking deeper in the Cloakwood Forest. In either case, you get 2000 exp
for the miniquest when it's all done.
I decided to save the game in which I helped Aldeth, for the simple reason
that Seniyad's exp was better than Aldeth's, and so that I could check out
the Manycoins Merchant League in Baldur's Gate. As it later turns out that
the Shadow Druids are allies against Davaeorn, it seems that Seniyad and
his buddies can't be trusted (they warned me against the Shadow Druids,
remember).
Anyway, once I got to Baldur's gate, I paid a visit to the Manycoins
Merchant League. Aldeth Sashenstar was standing outside, and he asked for
my help again (boy, this guy sure knows how to attract trouble!). IT
seems that his business partners have been acting VERY strange lately
(making very bad business decisions, etc.), and he wanted me to
investigate. I agreed, and went inside. I talked to the head guard in
the Merchant League (whose name escapes me now), told him I was working
for Aldeth, and he asked me to try to find some hard evidence against the
other two business partners (whose names also escape me). In one of the
partners' offices (on the second floor of the building), I found some
letters indicating that the business partners are actually doppelgangers
(just like in the Seven Suns!). I took the letters to the head guard, and
immediately a fight broke out as all the doppelgangers reverted to their
natural form. After I slayed all the doppelgangers on the first and
second floor, I talked to Aldeth again to get my exp/gp award. (There is
also a horde of doppelgangers on the third floor to take care of, if one
so desires, and some fairly nice treasures throughout the building.)
Other:

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

Go inside and kill all the Wyverns inside (hehe!). There is one really big

ask for you to kill them. Go to (x 1450 y 1500) to get to the
next level.

that you talked to Rill and he'll open it up. A short movie

the Ogre Mage (see Jenkal's Kobolds below) he'll give you a meager reward of
250 gp.
Gandolar: Gullykin (x 720 y 1210)
- Jenkal's Kobolds
In the basement of Jenkal's Home you will find the surliest halfling of all,
Jenkal. He is so surly that he is quite suspicious. Accuse him of
smuggling in Kobolds, and he'll admit to it, and attack you. Also once that

Plot:
- Beyond picking up the Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise from Meilum, the only
thing to do here is to go into the Ruins (x 4000 y 2000).
Subquests:
- Carsa's Jar, or Karhk the Greatest Ogre Mage
Talking with Mad Carsa doesn't really get you anywhere (she's just to the
north of the bridge). Demand that she give you the Jar, and she'll refuse.
Keep demanding it until she unleashes the Ogre Mage Karhk. He'll come up to
you and talk to you (after killing Carsa of course), and then attack. Kill
him to get 3500 exp, 3 Gems, and 150 gp.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13b. Firewine Ruins (AR 5201)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: What makes this dungeon tough isn't the type of enemy you fight, it's how
many of them there are. Not only are there a lot of Kobold Commandos to
start with, but they constantly re-spawn making it hard to get anywhere.
Enemies: Kobold Commandos, Ogre Mage, Kobolds, Ogrillons
Plot:
- The only real thing to do here is to find the Ogre Mage (x 575 y 250) and
kill him. The easiest way to do this is described in the Gullykin section
under the Jenkal subquest.
Subquests:
- The Ancient Armor
In one of the corridor's you will encounter an undead knight who asks you to
strike him down and take his armor. Do so. Later in the passage you will

Where he is: Baldur's Gate Bridge (x 486 y 797)
Plot:
- As you cross the Bridge you will be accosted by a Flaming Fist Soldier who
demands that you pay them a tax. Give him the "Nymph's" comment and he'll
make you talk to his commander, Scar. He asks if it was you who has been
causing such a ruckus lately, say that it was. He asks for your help,
agree to give it. He wants you to break into the Seven Suns compound in
the SW corner of the city.
- Head west to enter Baldur's Gate itself. However, if you head north from
the Baldur's Gate side of the Bridge you can get to a new area, the Farm
N of Baldur's Gate Bridge.
Subquests:
- Nester's Dagger
Just slightly to the north of Tenya's home an Ankheg may appear, kill him
and take the dagger on his corpse. We will take this to Quinn in the NW
Section of Baldur's Gate later (check that section for more information).

15. Baldur's Gate (AR 0800)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When you first enter Baldur's Gate you are "treated" to a little movie,
which is on Disc 5. After that Elminster will come up to you and tell you
that you can trust Scar of the Flaming Fist, as well as his commander,
Duke. Navigating Baldur's Gate can be a little tricky due to the wall in
the center of town which prevents you from simply crossing from one end of
the city to the other.
Baldur's Gate is divided into 9 sections, and as such, this section is divided
into 9 sub-sections, one for each of the city sections.
Companions: none
Enemies: none
Plot:
- There are various things in Baldur's Gate worth doing.
Subquests:
- Brevlik's Telescope
In the Elfsong tavern is a wheezy gnome named Brevlik who wants you to
steal a trinket from the Hall of Wonders, a telescope. Agree to help him
out, and try to increase your fee as well. Now all you have to do is to
break into the Hall of Wonders. You'll find the Hall of Wonders in the W
Section of the city. Break into it at night (you'll probably find Alora
there, see the Baldur's Gate W Section below for more information, if you
have Alora in your party you'll be able to steal things here without them
noticing), and steal the Telescope. Return it to Brevlik to get your
reward: 5500 exp, 500 gp, and a Lightning Wand.
Brevlik: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1800 y 2370)
Telescope: W Section (AR 0600, x 1600 y 2200)
- Arkion's Corpse
A Necromancer who lives in the southern part of this area wants you to find
him a body from the Sewers and bring it to him. You can find a corpse
in the sewers that are under the SW Section of the city. There are 2 more
corpses in the W Seweres. You only need one corpse, however. Take it to
Arkion to get your reward: 250 gp, and 1800 exp.
Arkion: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1600 y 3200)
Corpse: SW Sewers (AR 0224, x 2520 y 2360)
Corpses: W Sewers (AR 0225, x 3700 y 2860)
- Niklos and the Bandits
In the center of the Area you will find a bandit named Niklos. He says that
his boss wants to talk to you, and gives you 50gp just to talk to him. He
tells you to go into the building to the north of him, and if asked for a
password to reply "fafhrd", there to meet with the boss. Go inside the
building, give the guard your password, and go further in. All the way to
the back is a man named Alatos, the Boss. Talk to him. Be careful what you
say, as they might attack you. What he wants you to do is to steal some
items from Oberon's House in order to prevent the construction of "Sky
Ships". You get 10 days to complete this quest. Once agreed to, you have
free run of the Guild. For more information go down to the section titled
Baldur's Gate Central Section and look under the subquest marked "Oberan's
Estate." Once you have the items return them to the Thieves' Guild. Now
you give him the items and you get a reward of 4000 exp, however, the client
thinks that you were too "messy" in your operation and wants to terminate
you, but if you did the Narlen Subquest below, Narlen will come in and kill
the client instead, and you are thereafter a full member of the Thieves'
Guild.
Niklos: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1550 y 1790)
Boss: Baldur's Gate (AR 0800, x 1450 y 1250)

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

Splurging Surgeon Inn: NE Section (AR 0300, x 500 y 2970)

A mage of minor power here has a task for you. Her daughter was cursed by
the mage Yago, and in order to remove the curse, you need to retreive his
book of Curses. You can find Yago in the Low Light Tavern (it's really a
boat) at the Harbor. Go in and take him out (he is on the third level).
Once that is done return with the book to the Splurging Surgeon Inn and
give it to Brielbara to get your reward: 200gp, 1000 exp, and a Reputation

- Larze the Would Be Ogre Assassin
In the Blushing Mermaid Tavern you find yet another assasination attempt,
this time from a none-too-bright Ogre named Larze. If you want you can talk
him out of attacking you (900 exp). Or you could attack him, which I think
may be the better course of action.
Larze--2000 exp, Gauntlets of Weapon Skill, 1 Spell, Minor Treasures
Blushing Mermaid: NE Section (AR 0300, x 200 y 1750)
Other:
- Quenash & the Cloak of Balduran

your party. (There goes that all female party!) She wants you to get an
amulet back from her former flame, Arkion. You'll find Arkion back in the
first Baldur's Gate section in the southern part of that area. Go into his
house, don't bother talking to him, and steal the Bloodstone Amulet. Take
it back to Nemphre to get called a fool (but a sweet fool!), and receive a
small reward: 1000 exp, and the spell Vampiric Touch.

- G'Axir the Seer
In the Blade and Stars Inn you will meet a seer named G'Axir who wishes
to tell your fortune, but requires a Sphene Gem to do such a task. Find one
and bring it back to him (if you'd rather just cheat it, it's MISC37) and
he'll give you your fortune and a reward of 1000 exp.
G'Axir: SE Section (AR 1300, x 200 y 666)

Someone decided to ship a basilisk somewhere, and somehow it escaped and is
wreaking havoc at the harbor. Talk to Nadarin in the warehouse to get the
quest, then head over to the harbors. You will find the Basilisk in a
warehouse, once inside you will be warned that it is in there. Kill it
(it has a Sphene Gem if you need one for G'Axir) and then return to Nadarin.
Your Reward: 1300 exp, and 1800 gp.

Taxek and his buddy Michael are from the Thieves' Guild have decided to rob
a house in this area. You have several options on how to handle this, but
the best is to say that it isn't your house, but that you aren't going to
let them leave. They will attack you, kill them and steal their treasures.
Taxek--975 exp, Light Crossbow +1, Magic Bolts, 2 Gems, 75gp
Michael--300 exp, Magic Arrows, 2 Gems, Long Bow, 54 gp
Bandits: SE Section (AR 1300, x 1733 y 1075)
- Gantolandan's Rogue Stone (or the Stray Cat Thief)
On the second story of a house in this area you will encounter a sleeping
man named Gantolandan. Near his bed is a trapped chest with a Rogue Stone
inside (very valuable! 2500gp!), but as you steal it, Gantolandan will wake
up and ask "Who's there?" You could impersonate a cat and say "Meow". Take
the Rogue Stone, and he'll say "I don't own a cat". Claim to be a stray and
he'll go back to bed. It's fairly safe to leave. Or you could just kill
him to get 1200 exp, Long Sword +1, 64gp. This is the second of Narlen's
tests if you care about the Thieves' Guild.
Gantolandan: SE Section (AR 1300, x 785 y 1190)

You can find the Iron Throne's Headquarters in this area to the North West.
Go inside. When you first enter you get to see a little movie (Disc 5),
and then a merchant will come up to you and say that there is madness
inside. Well we knew that. When you encounter Guards, tell them that you
are seeking employment. There are some minor treasures in the basement.
Go up the stairs until you get to the top level. On the second level you
will encounter another guard, tell him that you're delivering a message to
Sarevok, and that you'll pass his comments on. On the third level another
guard will accost you, again pass yourself off as new recruits who don't yet
have their uniforms. Also on the third level, Nortuary will come up and
talk to you. He wants to know where the Iron Throne higher ups are. Tell
him that they are upstairs. On the fourth floor you can try to impersonate
an Emisary from the city (who you can also find on this floor). Finally
go up to the fifth floor to fight the Big Battle. I'd recommend using a
Fireball or three, and/or a Cloudkill. Beyond that, good luck.
I didn't keep track of which treasures belong to which person, but here's a
list of treasures you'll get: Ring of Free Action, Wand of Lightning,
Halberd +2, Bracers AC 7, 7 Spells, Mace +1, Wand of the Heavens, War

if you want to get 975 exp, a Short Sword +1, and a Studded Leather +1.

Subquests:

cannot be cured by conventional (and by that I mean magical) means. There
is, however, a way to cure him. Simply go to the Three Old Kegs Inn, there
you will find a Skull behind a painting on the second floor. Take the Skull
to Agnasia at the Lady's Hall. She'll tell you a little story about the
Skull's previous owner, and give you 1000 exp, and a Reputation +1. You can
if you want, go talk to Ghorak again to see him cured, but you get nothing
more.

pick up the Gauntlets before someone else does. Go pick up the gauntlets,
and return them to her (they are Gauntlets of Weapon Skill) to get your
reward: 1000 exp, 2 Potions, and a Reputation +1. Or you could just keep
them. (THAC0 +1) Once you give them to her, she leaves, so decide if you
want them before that!

Go to the eastern end of the city, and down into the sewers. Then go to

- Finally to finish Chapter 5 and leave Baldur's Gate talk to Scar again until
he wants to talk to you about the Iron Throne. Go outside and talk to him,
and agree to meet with Duke Eltan. Tell the Duke what you know (if you went
into the Iron Throne's HQ tell him about Reiltar) and he'll transport you

Iron Throne yet, you'll have to before you can leave! Also if you haven't

go upstairs and kill the two up there. Once that is done go over to the

There are a bunch of thieves looting a house at (x 2250 y 1770).

Phandalyn will approach you. If you have any Evil party members, he will
attack. However, he is still considered Non-Threatening (i.e. his circle is
still blue) so if you attack and kill him, you still get the appropriate
loss in reputation. Sucks.

Section! Inside of Felonius' town house you will find a series of statues.
Free the one in the North West corner and demand to know where the Helm of
Balduran is (you get a small reward of 500 exp for freeing him). He will
give you a scroll that gives you a bit of a clue about it, saying that it is
in an Inn. You can free the others, but you don't get anything more.
Town House: Central Section (AR 0700, x 1750 y 1000)
- Lothandar's Geas
When you wander around the Tents in this area you will be confronted by
Lothandar (again if you talked to him in the NE Section) who tells you that
you have been poisoned in your sleep. If you help him remove a Geas from
himself, he'll help you get rid of the poison. Sounds good enough. He
takes you to see a Diviner, ask the Diviner how to help Lothandar and he
directs you to the Temple of Umberlee. Go to the temple and ask to see the
High Priestess (you'll have to bribe them). Talk to her and ask for help
to remove the Geas and she'll ask for you to get a Book from the Temple of
Tymora. Wander over to the West section of the city and into the Lady's
House (the Temple of Tymora), there ask the priest there for the book, and
say that you'll die if you don't get it. He decides that that is a worthy
enough cause, and gives you the Book of Wisdom. Now go back to the Temple
of Umberlee and give the Priestess the book (say that you don't trust her to
