| − | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Most of the good items found in Throne of Bhaal are located right here
| |
| − | in the Watcher's Keep. (and many can be made even better by your
| |
| − | abyssal butler, Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, if you start the expansion right away, you'll be taken to the
| |
| − | next section, the Forest. Watcher's Keep is listed first since it
| |
| − | can be accessed from the regular game as well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Walkthrough:
| |
| − | ------------
| |
| − | | |
| − | - A MYSTERIOUS KEEP
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go up and talk to "Brother" Ordren, who explains the whole sticky
| |
| − | situation to you. Helm has sealed some great and powerful evil in the
| |
| − | Watcher's Keep, that is gradually getting free. It is your job to enter
| |
| − | the Keep and prevent the Evil from getting out. Oh, and they tell you
| |
| − | specifically NOT to kill it, as Helm has forbidden it. Agree to help
| |
| − | them and they'll take you to the top (Level 1). They give you what
| |
| − | you will need, and bid you good luck.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Talk to Brother Pol to get the Holy Symbol and the Scroll. These items
| |
| − | are needed. When you reach the evil, you are to perform a ritual to
| |
| − | deal with it. You don't kill it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At this point, you can talk to them again and ask questions, or talk to
| |
| − | the Sister to buy items and so forth.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Two of the items that she sells, Firetooth +4 and the Short
| |
| − | Sword of the Mask are items that can be upgraded by your
| |
| − | abyssal servant Cespenar (if you haven't gotten your Pocket
| |
| − | Plane, the Abyssal Fortress, then you won't know what I'm
| |
| − | talking about).
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you're ready, enter the Keep.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - LEVEL ONE (AR 3001)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The difficulty of the keep depends on several things, your preset
| |
| − | difficulty level, the number of people in your party, your level, and
| |
| − | your experience. The puzzles don't get any easier on the other
| |
| − | difficulty modes... if you're wondering.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The entrance to the next level is the Mirror Portal (x 1450 y 1150),
| |
| − | however there are quite a number of things that must be done first.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: There are many traps on this level, most are attached to the
| |
| − | various containers, although there are 2 traps on the ground.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the left door to find the ghost Archivist. (x 1925 y 1860) Talk to
| |
| − | him, but he is simply Cold. We'll have to remedy that. There are 4
| |
| − | containers in this room, 2 are trapped. Take whatever treasure you want,
| |
| − | but be sure to get the:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Paladin's Bracers (+10 HP, paladins only, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The next room had a Stone Golem in it. Not too tough. Open the next
| |
| − | door (x 1530 y 2010) and enter a library type room. There will be some
| |
| − | monsters here. The shelves on the right side have some Notes with Clues.
| |
| − | Also note Elminster's Ecologies (there's one in the next room as well),
| |
| − | which explain some of the properties of the new Monsters. Be sure to
| |
| − | check the shelf at (x 1330 y 1590) for the wonderful:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Golem Manual (creates Flesh Golems, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also check the Treasure chest near the end of this room for more treasure
| |
| − | and another note. Open the next door (x 888 y 1574) and proceed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yes, that statue is watching you. There are 3 containers in here, and
| |
| − | the one at (x 625 y 1140) is trapped:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Case of Plenty +1 (unlimited +1 bolts, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | You need to get the Bell at (x 450 y 1250).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The final container in this room, a trapped chest (x 775 y 1200)
| |
| − | contains:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Crimson Dart +3 (returns to owner)
| |
| − | History of the Imprisoned One (in case you're curious)
| |
| − | Potion of Superior Healing
| |
| − | Chainmail +2
| |
| − | more treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the door to the right (x 840 y 1220) and go through. Depending on
| |
| − | your level, there will be all sorts of statues in this, the central
| |
| − | hall. Worry about it later, go up to the door on the left side (x 670
| |
| − | y 900).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Get the Candle in the chest by the fireplace (x 340 y 1050). There are
| |
| − | other minor treasures in here, and a fireplace. Go back.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Across the hall, enter the middle door (x 1620 y 865). This room has
| |
| − | several traps on the floor, so beware. Also, of the 4 containers in here
| |
| − | 2 are trapped.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Get the Slippers from the left shelf (x 1550 y 750).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The trapped armoire (x 1840 y 600) has:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Quiver of Plenty +1 (unlimited +1 arrows, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | Handwritten Note
| |
| − | | |
| − | The trapped alcove (x 1980 y 580) has:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ammo Belt (actually a container that holds arrows, bolts, etc.)
| |
| − | Tinderbox (if only we had a fireplace... wait a second!)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the lower door and enter another library. Kill anything moving in
| |
| − | here (I got spiders). Search the shelf at (x 2240 y 920) to find:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wardstone
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other shelf in here has a Potion of Superior Healing. Open the next
| |
| − | door and hit the almost-final room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the Armoire (x 2775 y 1210) to find:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wardstone
| |
| − | Potion of Superior Healing
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other container, a shelf, has the final Tattered Parchment, if you're
| |
| − | curious. Open the door to the left and hit the final room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the armoire by the door (x 2610 y 1485) for:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Key
| |
| − | 4 Potions Extra Healing
| |
| − | King's Tears
| |
| − | | |
| − | The table has a Handwritten Note. Go back to the large hallway.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Almost ready to do the ritual. Go back to the Fireplace room, and click
| |
| − | on the fireplace to light it (Tinderbox...). This summons the Archivist
| |
| − | who is now quite conversant. He'll tell you about the old Priest, and
| |
| − | a little about how to reach the next level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open up the large door on the top of the right side (x 1375 y 730).
| |
| − | Enter. This is the burial place of the High Priest, complete with
| |
| − | Guardian Golems. The alcove over to the left (x 1040 y 430) has the
| |
| − | final Handwritten Note. When you're ready, click the Sarcophagus to
| |
| − | open it. The golems come alive, and attack you. They're each worth
| |
| − | 13,000 experience. Open the Sarcophagus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This causes the resident of the tomb to arrive and chide you for waking
| |
| − | him up. He notices that you have his slippers, and asks for them. Give
| |
| − | them up. This is worth 20,000 quest experience, and he leaves you alone
| |
| − | to your graverobbing. Click the Sarcophagus one last time to get the
| |
| − | Mental Note. This is worth 8,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: If the guardians DON'T come alive, you can always force-attack
| |
| − | them later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Back to the main hallway. Go up to the altar at the top of the room,
| |
| − | open it and place the Bell and Candle in it. When that is done, the
| |
| − | statues come alive and attack you. Destroy them. When the statues that
| |
| − | came alive are dead, the giant statue talks to you and asks for the
| |
| − | ritual:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ring the Bell
| |
| − | Ring the Bell
| |
| − | Light the Candle
| |
| − | Open the Book (only works if you opened the Sarcophagus)
| |
| − | Ring the Bell
| |
| − | | |
| − | That completes the ritual, and opens the Mirrored Portal to the next
| |
| − | level. This is worth 25,000 quest experience. At this point, the rest
| |
| − | of the statues came alive and attacked me. This was a much more
| |
| − | difficult battle, and you should definitely take care of the mages first.
| |
| − | Also they had some interesting equipment:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Usuno's Blade +4 (scimitar)
| |
| − | Foebane +3 (Bastard Sword, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Whenever you are ready, go on down. This requires that you got the Vigil
| |
| − | Stone from Pol. If you don't have it, exit and talk to Pol to get it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: If you want to rest (and this would be a good time), go to the
| |
| − | Protected Room in the right corner.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - LEVEL TWO (AR 3016)
| |
| − | | |
| − | As you appear, a Chromatic Demon talks to you. He is the only thing that
| |
| − | can get you to the next level, but he won't do that until you do a little
| |
| − | something for him. He has been trapped in this place for a thousand
| |
| − | years and it isn't where he thought his life was heading. Naturally he
| |
| − | wants your help in getting out. Sounds fair. He needs you to get him
| |
| − | out of his cage. Agree to it. You need to find the Four Scepters and
| |
| − | place them in the slots around his cage. Only then will he allow you
| |
| − | entrance to the next level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: If you want to go back, use the Portal to the Left.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, beware of Traps! They're everywhere.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enter the room to the southwest (x 1670 y 1850). Careful in here, there
| |
| − | are many traps on the floor and containers. Detrap the room. Time to
| |
| − | search for treasure, and clues.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The top right shelf (x 1600 y 2130) has a Handwritten Note.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The top left shelf (x 1325 y 1925) has:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wand of Spell Striking
| |
| − | Star Sapphire
| |
| − | | |
| − | The small shelf (x 1000 y 2110) has some good stuff:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Right Horn (used by Cespenar)
| |
| − | Ice Library Note (a Clue!)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Read the Ice Library Note to learn how to clear out the Fire room.
| |
| − | Essentially you need to deal with the Fire Elementals first, but you
| |
| − | can't just kill them or they'd respawn, they must be lured into the Ice
| |
| − | Room and frozen there forever.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are other minor treasures in here as well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Back to the center room, now take the upper left (northwest) door (x 1700
| |
| − | y 1350). There are some Fire Giants in here that need killing. This
| |
| − | place also has many traps to be dealt with. Enter the room. You'll find
| |
| − | an imp in the upper passage here. He'll tell you that the Fan is the
| |
| − | key to everything before leaving. Time to search the room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You'll find a Handwritten note on a table (x 1130 y 860).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The top of the pillar (x 1260 y 760) has:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wand of Cursing
| |
| − | 5 Potions of Superior Healing
| |
| − | more treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the small shelf (x 1370 y 870) to find:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fire Library Note (another Clue!)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are other minor treasures in here. On to the next room (x 2420
| |
| − | y 1350).
| |
| − | | |
| − | This room is filled with various types of Golems. It is again trapped
| |
| − | quite thoroughly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Handwritten Note is at (x 3210 y 1000).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Air Library Note is at (x 3000 y 900). This note mentions how you
| |
| − | might clear out the poison room, and the usefulness of lightning when
| |
| − | dealing with the new slimes found therein.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nothing much else here, go down to the final room (x 2425 y 1840). Here
| |
| − | you must deal with some Mutated Spiders.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the shelf to the right (x 2900 y 1900) to find:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Key
| |
| − | other treasures
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the far right shelf (x 3225 y 2120) to find:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Slime Library Note (the last Clue!)
| |
| − | 5 Potions of Extra Healing
| |
| − | | |
| − | Read the final note to learn that the demon's Air form is weak against
| |
| − | poison and acid. Also you'll learn how to set the fan to blow poison
| |
| − | from the Slime Room into the Air room to kill weaken the creatures there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We have everything we need, time to make the most of it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - LEVEL TWO, GAINING THE FOUR SCEPTERS
| |
| − | | |
| − | To get to the Fan Room, go into the Red Room (upper left), and up to the
| |
| − | door (x 1800 y 675) where the Imp was. Go in and turn the fan. This
| |
| − | will get you attacked by several Air Elementals. Kill them to get the:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Air Scepter
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go up to the fan and click it again to get more air going. This allows
| |
| − | you to open the door to the right, into the Slime Library. From there
| |
| − | continue going down-right and open the next door into the Slime Room.
| |
| − | This room is filled with noxious vapors, and lots of slime/poison related
| |
| − | monsters. Quickly open the bottom door in this room to clear it of all
| |
| − | its poison. Kill the snake to get:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Slime Scepter
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, search the pool of slime to get:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Flail Head (Poison, Cespenar can upgrade the Flail of Ages with this)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Getting too close to any of the "pools" results in damage taken.
| |
| − | In the slime room you get Acid Damage, for instance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head down to the next, icier door (x 2350 y 2500) and open it. Now,
| |
| − | run back to the Fan Room, click the Fan control once to reset it, and
| |
| − | click it again to shoot the poison from the poison room into the Ice
| |
| − | Room. Sweet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go back to the Ice Room and kill the monsters there. The poison didn't
| |
| − | bother me too much, but you could just stand at the edge of it and attack
| |
| − | from there. When the Ice Golem dies you get the:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ice Scepter
| |
| − | Left Horn (used by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: To clear the room of poison, just click the Fan again. Also,
| |
| − | the Ice Room has a slowing effect.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'd leave all of your party (save one) in the Ice Room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the door to the left, go through the library and up to the next
| |
| − | door. Open that. Enter the room, avoid the giant. Wait for a Fire
| |
| − | Elemental to appear, then lead it back into the Ice Room, for your
| |
| − | waiting party to kill. Wait for the Elemental to FREEZE (there will even
| |
| − | be some text to this effect), then attack. The elemental shatters,
| |
| − | letting you know you've succeeded. Do this for 4 elementals (it doesn't
| |
| − | have to be all at once, or one at a time, just lure as many as you can).
| |
| − | Doing that gets you 22,000 experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When that is done, go up and kill the Fire Giant:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fire Scepter
| |
| − | Helm of the Rock (+25% fire, ice, elec. res., upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | 100 gold
| |
| − | | |
| − | You now have all 5 scepters. I'd rest, save, then go talk to the Demon.
| |
| − | Everyone gets 20,000 experience, and he, of course, attacks you. Who
| |
| − | saw that coming?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Chromatic Demon -5 AC 140 HP -5 THAC0 4 Attacks 95% weapon res.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Your weapons will damage him, but they just won't do much damage. As he
| |
| − | is damaged, he will switch forms. Just remember what each form is weak
| |
| − | against...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Red Demon > Ice
| |
| − | Ice Golem > Fire
| |
| − | Shambling Mound > Lightning
| |
| − | Air Elemental > Poison
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you're in ToB, this is an easy enough fight, buff-up beforehand,
| |
| − | keep the fighters in the front and use whirlwinds. Three or four fighter
| |
| − | types doing 10 hits/round at 4 damage a hit should knock it down fast.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tip: After you have all 4 scepters, but before you free the Chromatic
| |
| − | Demon, close the lower door in the poison lab. Then turn off the
| |
| − | fan in the air lab so the poison lab is full of gas. Move all but
| |
| − | one of your party members out of the way (the fire library works
| |
| − | nicely). Then have your remaining character (preferably having
| |
| − | them hasted first) release the Chromatic Demon. Lure the
| |
| − | Chromatic Demon into the poison lab (via the air library), then
| |
| − | exit the poison lab into the air library, closing the door behind
| |
| − | you and trapping the Chromatic Demon in the poison lab. Then just
| |
| − | sit back and wait for the Chromatic Demon to die. It doesn't take
| |
| − | long. (Jeremy Hanson)
| |
| − | | |
| − | When he is dead...
| |
| − | | |
| − | 55,000 experience
| |
| − | Circlet of Netheril (Cespenar can upgrade)
| |
| − | Portal Key
| |
| − | Ixil's Spike (+2 dagger, Cespenar can upgrade)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Whenever you're ready, enter the right portal to the Next Level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - LEVEL THREE (AR 3003)
| |
| − | | |
| − | N E
| |
| − | \ / Ooh, Isometric!
| |
| − | | |
| − | / \
| |
| − | W S
| |
| − | | |
| − | Our informer on this level is a crazy elf named Yakman. When you talk to
| |
| − | him he becomes convinced that you are some demonic illusion out to kill
| |
| − | him, causing him to run away. Follow him through the portal (x 1350
| |
| − | y 1100) and try talking to him again.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3011)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a pile of stuff (x 615 y 630) in the middle of the room:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bard's Gloves (Cespenar can upgrade)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is more treasure up in his tent (x 860 y 360, TRAPPED):
| |
| − | | |
| − | Madman's Journal (a Clue!)
| |
| − | Diamond
| |
| − | Long Sword (you may want to take this... seriously)
| |
| − | Scepter of Radiance (you definitely need to take this)
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once you're done looting, talk to Yakman. You need someone with 16 or
| |
| − | more Charisma, or an Elf to get him to trust that you aren't an
| |
| − | illusionary demon. Ask all the questions you can, about the Demons,
| |
| − | why they fight each other, the level, the way out, the rod and its
| |
| − | gems, etc. Next tell him he needs some sleep, to learn that he never
| |
| − | sleeps. Offer to heal him, and the conversation ends. (the character
| |
| − | who spoke to him MUST be a cleric for this offer to come up)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cast Heal on him and he is back to normal... although you might prefer
| |
| − | the insane version (he's quite arrogant). This gets you 5,000 quest
| |
| − | experience points. With that he exits the Watcher's Keep to find out if
| |
| − | he can restore his old life.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enter the top portal (x 380 y 350) to return to the previous area (the
| |
| − | other portal takes you back to the beginning).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Resting anywhere in this maze will get you attacked by Succubuses
| |
| − | (er...), Glabrezu or other types of demons, which makes this a
| |
| − | great place to get experience, as they give between 6000 exp and
| |
| − | 24,000 exp each. (Later you fight devils, but they're not as much
| |
| − | fun)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (AR 3003)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head into the East Portal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3008)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There will be various demons fighting amongst themselves here. They
| |
| − | mention the Blood War (see: Planescape: Torment). Kill the demons here.
| |
| − | (pretty easy to do since they're fighting each other)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Have someone of a lawful good alignment click on the Pillar to get: (evil
| |
| − | people get Horridly Wilted)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Purifier +4 (Bastard Sword, Upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go "east" again (x 1070 y 150).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3012)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here you are confronted by a Tanar'ri. If you are evil, you can side
| |
| − | with it. It will want you to kill its enemy Ka'rashur. If you are Good
| |
| − | you will have no choice but to kill it. From its body, take the Scepter
| |
| − | Gem.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: When you return with the Heart of Ka'rashur he gives you the
| |
| − | mighty Thieves Hood (useless until Cespenar upgrades it). This is
| |
| − | the ONLY way to get this item, he won't have it on him if you
| |
| − | kill him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a trapped alcove (x 650 y 320) with some treasure.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head on down "south" to the portal at (x 880 y 720).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3004)
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is a "no magic" zone. Kill off the demons in the area. Also there
| |
| − | are traps on the ground where the 4 hallways meet the center room. You'll
| |
| − | have to pass one to fight the monsters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go "south" again (x 1350 y 1100).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3006)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Welcome to the Succubus area. Whee. They'll attempt to tempt you, but
| |
| − | don't bother with them. Of course, if you turn them down, they attack
| |
| − | you. Ah well, demons just can't be reasoned with, I guess.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head through the south gate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3013)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here you'll find the Baatezu (the very same ones that you were asked to
| |
| − | kill by the Tanar'ri earlier). If you're evil you can side with them,
| |
| − | otherwise prepare for a fight.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be sure to search the corpses for the second Scepter Gem.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a small container (TRAPPED, x 960 y 360) above. It has some
| |
| − | minor treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Again, use the lower portal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3010)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are some Glabrezu lurking around here. Also, if you go back
| |
| − | through the portals you entered from, you'll get back to the beginning.
| |
| − | We want to take the "western" portal, so head down and left to (x 150
| |
| − | y 785).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3005)
| |
| − | | |
| − | We experienced a "no-magic" room earlier, now we have entered a
| |
| − | "wild-magic" room. Here, magic just doesn't work as you might expect,
| |
| − | much like the "wild surge" effect you get if you play as a Wild Mage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are some Tieflings in here, but they aren't important.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here's a twist, re-enter the portal you just came from (the "north"
| |
| − | portal).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3007)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There's a Cambion in here, but you don't have to deal with him. If you
| |
| − | do fight him, he'll summon several demon knights to help out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Again, like the last area, re-enter the portal you entered from (the
| |
| − | "north" portal).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3014)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Right out of the portal are some really deadly traps. Try to disarm them
| |
| − | before engaging in battle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here you must fight a Demon Wraith and his armies of the undead. Kill
| |
| − | him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are lots of minor treasures in here. There is also a really
| |
| − | good item as well:
| |
| − | | |
| − | (x 340 y 640) - White Dragon Scales (Cespenar can make armor of these)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Again, take the portal you came out of (the "north" portal).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3015, the "Exit")
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is more or less where you would have been taken if you got abducted
| |
| − | by a Succubus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just for arriving here, you get 10,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you first appear here, you'll find Aesgareth confronting you. He's
| |
| − | not from around here. He also has the necessary Scepter Gem in order
| |
| − | for you to move to the next level. That is not of the moment. Be civil
| |
| − | to him, but don't reveal that you have a possible way out. He wants to
| |
| − | play cards with you, the stakes being the Scepter (essentially). Agree
| |
| − | to it. The conversation ends so you can "prepare."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Sounds like your cue to SAVE THE GAME. If you lose the game,
| |
| − | reload. After winning, save it again.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also... You can pick-pocket Aesgarth for the deck of many
| |
| − | things during the "Let me think about it" time. Your pick-
| |
| − | pocketing skill should be at least 150+ though. (Xander77)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Talk to him again. The game involves attempting to survive whatever the
| |
| − | Deck of Many Things hurls at you. The stakes are, for him the Scepter
| |
| − | Gem, a Wish Scroll or a Spectral Brand, and you get to pick:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: The Spectral Brand (Long Sword +4) is upgradeable by Cespenar.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Way Out (The Vigil Stone)... wager this!
| |
| − | Experience
| |
| − | Vitality
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: If you get the strength card and lose your Strength, use a
| |
| − | Remove Curse spell to dispel it. (thanks to Doug Scheurich)
| |
| − | | |
| − | You win by picking the "higher" card, which usually means the "worse"
| |
| − | card! Winning a game is worth 25,000 quest experience. If you win the
| |
| − | first two games (for the Spectral Brand and Wish scroll), talk to him
| |
| − | again and get an instant 20,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Try to get the Spectral Brand if you can. Even if you lose the draw,
| |
| − | Aesgareth will return the Vigil Stone to you (so you don't lose anything)
| |
| − | and even give you the Scepter Gem to boot! What a nice demon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For completing this you get 25,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: The maximum experience playing the game is 95,000 quest
| |
| − | experience. Remember quest experience is NOT divided among
| |
| − | the party, everyone gets that exact amount. (when you kill a
| |
| − | 1000 exp monster, on the other hand, it is divided amongst
| |
| − | everyone in the party)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Alternatively: You could be hostile and attack him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Aesgareth - 21,000 experience
| |
| − | Deck of Many Things
| |
| − | Scepter Gem
| |
| − | Tiefling - 14,000 experience
| |
| − | Tiefling (2) - 18,000 experience
| |
| − | Tiefling - 16,000 experience
| |
| − | Fell Cat (2) - 9,000 experience
| |
| − | | |
| − | As well as many small treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Total experience 105,000. (divided among your party,
| |
| − | so if you have 6 people, each person gets 17,500 exp)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, it is possible to win the first two games, then
| |
| − | lose the last game, and fight him then. You still get
| |
| − | less Exp for killing him than letting him go.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Deck of Many Things (if you killed Aesgareth and got it):
| |
| − | | |
| − | Card Drawn Effect
| |
| − | Donjon Imprisoned
| |
| − | Ruin Lose 100,000 gold
| |
| − | Void Disintegrated
| |
| − | Magician Transformed into a rabbit, Remove Curse to undo
| |
| − | Skull Summons a hostile death shade, harmed by +5 or higher
| |
| − | Key Random magic item
| |
| − | Star If you are a warrior then +1 to strength; if you are
| |
| − | a Priest, +1 to wisdom; if you are a wizard, +1 to

| |
| − | Throne Party gets 1,000,000 experience
| |
| − | Moon Character gets +10 to max hit points

| − | Vizier Mantle spell for one day
| |
| − | Jester Character gains 50,000 experience
| |
| − | Sun Entire party gains 300,000 experience
| |
| − | Balance Deck vanishes
| |
| − | | |
| − | Time to get out of this maze. Before leaving this level, prepare for a
| |
| − | battle with Mind Flayers. Cast some protective magics on sensitive
| |
| − | players, Haste, etc. Enter the right portal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - LEVEL FOUR (AR 3017)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Watch as a mage (MAD mage) forces some giths and illithids to fight a
| |
| − | battle. Then you get to talk to him, but this proves to be quite
| |
| − | unfruitful as he simply sends some goons to attack you. (In my case, it
| |
| − | was Illithids)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Up above the machine, there are four large containers (x 3300 y 1550).
| |
| − | Besides having the normal assortment of minor magical items, they also
| |
| − | carry NON-magical items. You might want to take some, you're going to
| |
| − | need them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the door near here (x 3600 y 1660) and enter this room. There are
| |
| − | 2 containers upwards, both are locked, the one on the left is trapped.
| |
| − | They have only minor treasures. There's another locked chest at the
| |
| − | lower end of this room with more minor treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the next door (x 4100 y 1300) to find the Magical Golems. These
| |
| − | guys can be hurt ONLY by non-magical weaponry (hence the shelf full of
| |
| − | that stuff), so be sure that everyone is equipped with something mundane.
| |
| − | However, once you have normal weapons equipped, these golems are
| |
| − | pushovers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enter their room, and search the giant Pool to get some Blue Oil.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The three containers (the middle one is trapped) at the top of this room
| |
| − | have more minor treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Back to Carston's Room. This time, take the door to the south (x 2600
| |
| − | y 2300)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The container just to your south (x 2850 y 2600) has a large variety of
| |
| − | healing potions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The treasure chests at the top of the room are not treasure chests at
| |
| − | all, but Killer Mimics that attack you. Once the mimics are dead, you
| |
| − | can search the containers for more minor treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The final door (x 2130 y 2670) leads to several torches, which you can't
| |
| − | light just yet. Back to Carston's room. Head up to the top stairs
| |
| − | (x 2400 y 1500). You'll be fighting more Mind Flayers, so be ready.
| |
| − | Go down.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3021)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once here, I summoned a Mordenkainen's Sword, and sent it down. The
| |
| − | enemies all attacked that (quite uselessly) allowing me to swoop in
| |
| − | behind them and slaughter them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the door to the left, and go down the passage to a small circular
| |
| − | room. There were some Umber Hulks here that wanted to be killed. Once
| |
| − | they're dead, search the circular thing in the center for:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Illithid Rod
| |
| − | Wand of Cursing
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go back, then open the lower door and enter that room. There are more
| |
| − | Hulks and Illithids in here to be killed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the table at (x 1600 y 915) for:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5 Potions of Extra Healing
| |
| − | Handwritten Note
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the cell door, and search the table in there for more small
| |
| − | treasures. Also the table to the right has more treasures, healing
| |
| − | potions, etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enter the right cell and talk to the dying Apprentice. Ask him about
| |
| − | Carston and the exit to the next level. The key is the Machine, of
| |
| − | course. He dies, and you can then search the table behind him for more
| |
| − | small treasures. For helping him die (I guess) you get 1000 quest
| |
| − | experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the southern door, and go down the passage to another circular
| |
| − | room. There are 3 illithids in here and some Umber Hulks. Kill them.
| |
| − | One of the illithids has the second part of the Illithid Rod key, once
| |
| − | you get it you get 4000 experience and the completed key. The container
| |
| − | in the center of the room here is TRAPPED and has minor treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go back up to the cell room, then left (x 1200 y 1000).
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is the Red Oil Room. When you take the red oil from the vat you
| |
| − | will be attacked by a couple of Vampiric Illithids (the best of BOTH
| |
| − | worlds there). They're each worth 14,000 experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head back up to Carston's level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3017)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Drop down to the lower stairway (x 4000 y 2600) and go down.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3022)
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you thought that the Gith might be more reasonable than the Illithid
| |
| − | were, well you're wrong. They're not.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Some of these Gith are considered to be Anti-Paladins. Don't
| |
| − | you wish that you could be an Anti-Paladin?
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are 3 chests in this first room, and the "middle" one is trapped.
| |
| − | They mostly have minor treasures with one exception...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be sure to get the Flint and Tinder from the lower chest (x 880 y 550).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The door to the right has more Giths and some minor treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the lower-left door and go through (x 900 y 800).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fight off the Giths in this room, then search it for treasure. There is
| |
| − | another Handwritten Note here at (x 400 y 950).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the door in the lower right (x 900 y 1200) to go to the next room.
| |
| − | You'll have to fight through a wave of Gith, but if you can take on the
| |
| − | Illithids, the Gith should present no problems at all. When they're
| |
| − | dispatched, go further to the right to find the captain. You can't talk
| |
| − | him out of a fight, so don't bother trying.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Captain - 7500 experience
| |
| − | Diary of Carston's Apprentice (a Clue!)
| |
| − | Angurvadal (Long Sword +4, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the "teeth" of their ship (x 1350 y 1550) to find:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Montolio's Clasp (part of Montolio's Cloak, upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the purple pool (x 1550 y 1700) to get:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Purple Oil
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the door in the bottom right corner here (x 1830 y 1960) and
| |
| − | descend.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3018)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Follow this down to find a great red Dragon, Saladrex. In case you're
| |
| − | planning on attacking him (don't yet), here are his general stats:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 244 HP -12 AC -6 THAC0 3 Attacks 30% all weapon res. 64,000 exp
| |
| − | | |
| − | Staff of the Ram +4 (Upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | Rogue Stone
| |
| − | 1500 gold
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Anyway, let's just have a pleasant chat with him for a bit. You can
| |
| − | attack later if you want. Try to use the "flattering" answers whenever
| |
| − | possible ("oh mighty Saladrex") as he is a very vain dragon. Ask him
| |
| − | what he's doing here, and he'll tell you that he was summoned by the
| |
| − | Mad Mage Carston like everyone else, but he found that he liked it here.
| |
| − | Depending on how flattering you were, you'll be able to ask him some
| |
| − | questions. Ask him everything that you want...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then, if you so desire, you can attack. Most of the "trick" strategies
| |
| − | for killing dragons that worked in BG2, no longer work (Fake Talk,
| |
| − | tossing out Cloudkills, etc.), so you might actually have to prepare for
| |
| − | a real fight. I'd make sure to cast Resist Fear on everyone, as Dragons
| |
| − | tend to be frightening.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tips: Killed the dragon by using one of the many spell striking
| |
| − | wands to lower its resistance (cast about 3 times), then
| |
| − | used wand of lightning a bunch of times. Used cleric to
| |
| − | heal/cast resist fire/resurrect. Important to note that the
| |
| − | dragon in watcher's keep cannot fit through its big doorway,
| |
| − | allowing you to stay out of range of all but it's fire
| |
| − | breath. Fun stuff. If you're really crafty, you can grab
| |
| − | some additional fire protections, and nix the cleric. This
| |
| − | method is mainly for those who go straight from Irenicus'
| |
| − | Dungeon to Watcher's Keep. (from Braden)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once you're done here, go back up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3022)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Want to fight a Demi-Lich? Whenever you've prepared, head over to the
| |
| − | left, open the door (x 750 y 1850) and descend.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3027)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nothing here, but a Demi-Lich! I'd send in only one character and
| |
| − | attempt to draw him out of his little hidey-hole. I'd keep your mages
| |
| − | WELL away from this battle so they can cast Freedom on anyone who happens
| |
| − | to get imprisoned by him. So, what I did was cast Simulacrum, and had
| |
| − | that stay in the battle with me, and had my real mage go hide somewhere.
| |
| − | I'd also send your main character away as well, this prevents him/her
| |
| − | from getting imprisoned and ending your game. Of course, if you have a
| |
| − | Berserker in your party, just Berserk and hit him hard and fast.
| |
| − | Berserking makes you immune to imprison.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Demi-Lich - 55,000 experience
| |
| − | Star Dagger +4 (upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | 20,000 gold
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be sure to check his coffin for more treasures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go back to the Gith level, and from there back to the main Mad Mage
| |
| − | level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3017)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head left to the torches (x 1680 y 2860). There are 6 torches, 3 on the
| |
| − | left and 3 on the right. Here's the color coding...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Red Blue
| |
| − | Red Purple
| |
| − | Purple Red
| |
| − | | |
| − | Click on each torch and light them according to the pattern. (You get
| |
| − | the pattern from the tiles in the two side rooms, if you're curious...
| |
| − | it's easier to see if you look at the mini-map) When all the torches
| |
| − | light, the door opens and everyone gets 10,000 quest experience points.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enter the last room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here you must fight two Minotaurs, Rock and Garock. Somehow they also
| |
| − | summon other monsters to help them. But after clearing out a dragon and
| |
| − | demi-lich, what are 2 minotaurs?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rock - 15,000 experience
| |
| − | Axe of the Unyielding +3 (Upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | 2 Potions of Superior Healing
| |
| − | Battle Axe +3
| |

| − | Garock - 10,000 experience
| |
| − | 2 Potions of Superior Healing
| |
| − | Battle Axe +3
| |
| − | | |
| − | Time to search the Vaults. The left one is trapped, the right one is
| |
| − | locked.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Get the Crystal Mallet from the left vault.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be sure to get the Clay Golem page from the right vault. The other
| |
| − | treasure is decidedly minor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Head back to the great machine, and click on it. You need to hit the
| |
| − | thing SIX times in order to get Carsten out of it. Once he is removed
| |
| − | from his cocoon, he isn't quite as arrogant. Let him live and he'll
| |
| − | give you his journal. You get 10,000 experience for letting him live.
| |
| − | (He's worth only 6000 to kill) Read his journal to learn how to activate
| |
| − | the portal to the next level. However, we have a machine to play with
| |
| − | first...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Save it first, then use the machine. All the handwritten notes you have
| |
| − | been gathering are the formulas for what you can do with it. Each
| |
| − | valid combination requires 3 switches/buttons/whatever to be pressed.
| |
| − | They can be done in any order. The bonuses work on whoever used the
| |
| − | machine, not just the main character. So, if you need your priest to
| |
| − | gain some wisdom...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here is a complete list of the valid combinations:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Triangle Green Medium > Storm Star +3 (Cespenar can upgrade)
| |
| − | Blue Green Long > Gain Magic Res.
| |
| − | Circle Blue Long > +1 INT
| |
| − | Square Blue Short > +1 DEX
| |
| − | Red Green Short > +1 CHA
| |
| − | Circle Square Triangle > +1 WIS
| |
| − | Circle Red Long > +1 CON
| |
| − | Square Short Medium > +1 STR
| |
| − | Triangle Red Medium > Exit to next level
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: You can only do the Stat bonuses ONCE.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you enter in an INVALID combination, you get some really bad random
| |
| − | effects (well, mostly bad):
| |
| − | | |
| − | 10% chance to gain a Potion of Superior Healing.
| |
| − | 10% chance to get 100,000 experience (only for whoever used it)
| |
| − | 10% chance to become Imprisoned (bad if it's your main character)
| |
| − | 10% chance for 50 fire damage
| |
| − | 10% chance turned to stone (bad if it's your main character)
| |
| − | 10% chance to lose 1 INT

| |
| − | 10% chance to lose 1 DEX
| |
| − | | |
| − | Anyway, use the machine's Triangle, Red, Medium combination to open up
| |
| − | the portal to the next level. This is worth 25,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | The portal you want to enter is the Right Portal (x 2800 y 1400).
| |
| − | | |
| − | - LEVEL FIVE (AR 3019)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Well here we are on the final level. In fact, you can see the Final
| |
| − | Seal just ahead. All you have to do is figure a way to open it. The
| |
| − | other portal here takes you out of the dungeon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are 3 doors around this area, one below, one to the left and one
| |
| − | to the right. Open the lower door (x 2460 y 2460) and talk to the
| |
| − | Helmite Ghost. Be confident and tell him that you are ready for anything
| |
| − | that might be ahead. Tell him that you are ready for the challenge and
| |
| − | he tells you to enter the 3 doors behind him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enter the left door first (x 2300 y 2950).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3025)
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will be fighting orcs in here. Lots and lots of orcs. This area is
| |
| − | on a timer. As long as the timer is going, there will be a constant
| |
| − | supply of orcs for you to fight. So, until the end, there will be 10
| |
| − | orcs in the room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After a short while, the spirit appears, congratulates you and gives you
| |
| − | 21,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search the pool for:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ixil's Nail (Cespenar can upgrade)
| |
| − | 5 Potions of Extra Healing
| |
| − | minor treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go back up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3019)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now open the middle door (x 2640 y 3000) and go down. You will be
| |
| − | fighting a Dragon, so be warned.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3024)
| |
| − | | |
| − | This challenge is much more interesting, you get to fight a Green Dragon!
| |
| − | I found this dragon quite a bit easier than the Red one earlier. Anyway
| |
| − | I simply summoned up some Mordenkainen's Swords (2), a Fire Elemental.
| |
| − | Then I cast a few protection spells and hacked at the dragon till he
| |
| − | died.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Dragon - 62,000 experience
| |
| − | Warrior's Skull
| |
| − | Hindo's Doom +3 (upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | 1500 gold
| |
| − | other treasures...
| |
| − | | |
| − | With the dragon dead, you get congratulated by the ghost and another
| |
| − | 21,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Exit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3019)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Time for the last door (x 2900 y 2900).
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3026)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here you meet up with a gaming imp. No way out, you'll just have to
| |
| − | answer her questions. Oh, and if you fail, she Imprisons your entire
| |
| − | party.
| |
| − | | |
| − | First, here is her riddle:
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I have as many brothers as sisters, but my brothers have twice the
| |
| − | number of sisters as brothers. How many children do my parents have?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Answer: Seven
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is worth 10,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Next you play the Game of Coins. Here is the way to win at this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | You take:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2 coins (he'll take 1 coin)
| |
| − | 3 coins (he takes 3 coins)
| |
| − | 1 coin (leaving him the last coin, so he loses!)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Beating the Imp again is worth another 10,000 experience. The Spirit
| |
| − | appears again, congratulates you and gives you another 21,000 quest
| |
| − | experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are 3 containers in here with various minor treasures. Also, the
| |
| − | chest against the wall is TRAPPED. When you're done looting, exit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3019)
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you appear, the Spirit talks to you, and gives you the Heart Key.
| |
| − | (actually, for me, he gave it to Jaheira)
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1 key down, 2 to go.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go up and to the left, and open that door (x 1240 y 1580). Kill off any
| |
| − | monsters in here. This is the Orb Room, where colored balls shoot out of
| |
| − | a machine to be deposited in large pillars. Why, you ask? For a key.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go up and examine the machine. You'll have to go through the Notes
| |
| − | before it actually lets you play with the machine. You're going to have
| |
| − | to press each of the 4 buttons 4 times. Each time you press a button you
| |
| − | get a new Orb of the same color as the button. After you get an orb,
| |
| − | place it into the same colored Pillar. There are some side effects to be
| |
| − | aware of:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Despite what the machine says, you only have to put ANY ONE of
| |
| − | the colored globes into their proper Pillar. That means you can
| |
| − | get away with pushing only 4 buttons total, rather than 16.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Red 1: Summons Hobgoblins
| |
| − | Red 2: Summons Kuo-Toas

| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Each button pressed gives you 1000 quest experience for a total
| |
| − | of 16,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tip: With the "purple" undead monsters, I turned the script off of my
| |
| − | Cleric, and had her stand near where the monsters appear. Then,
| |
| − | because of being at a high level, every undead was blown to bits.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here's a list of what the first 3 orbs do for each color: (Dave Loveland)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Green - Summon Shambling Mound
| |
| − | Green - Melf's Acid Arrow
| |
| − | Green - Temporary +5% magic resistance (on caster)
| |
| − | Blue - Cone of Cold
| |
| − | Blue - Greater Restoration
| |
| − | Blue - Protection from Normal Missiles
| |
| − | Purple - Invisibility
| |
| − | Purple - Mass Cure
| |
| − | Purple - Cloud Giant Strength (on caster)
| |
| − | Red - Fireball
| |
| − | Red - Good Luck (temporary +1 to saves for each member of your party)
| |
| − | Red - Heals 64 hit points
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you're done, you get the Mind Key, which is worth 10,000 quest
| |
| − | experience. 2 down, 1 to go.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go over to the right door (x 2900 y 1300) and go in. You'll have to
| |
| − | fight through some enemies, but nothing you can't handle. Go up to the
| |
| − | pedestal and click it to place the Skull you got from the dragon on it.
| |
| − | This teleports you to a hidden realm ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3023)
| |
| − | | |
| − | You cannot move. In fact, all you can do is control the Spirit Warrior
| |
| − | and tell him where to go. This dungeon has been reduced to almost a
| |
| − | Text Adventure level. Your Spirit Warrior has 50 HP, 7 AC, 10 THAC0.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Map: (start in Room 1)
| |

| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | | |
| |
| − | Room 1 -- Room 2 -- Room 3
| |
| − | Goblin Treasure Chest (Wand)
| |
| − | Skeleton attacks when opened
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wand Note: If you don't use your wand beforehand, it will be more
| |
| − | powerful when you fight the Mummy later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fleeing Note: If you flee the goblin you take 2 damage.
| |
| − | If you flee the skeleton or War Dog you take 5 damage.
| |
| − | If you flee the ghost you take 7 damage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Experiences: You get 4000 quest experience for getting the Helm.
| |
| − | 4000 QExp for getting the Potion & Key.
| |
| − | 4000 QExp for getting the Scroll
| |
| − | 4000 QExp for getting the Bracers
| |
| − | 3000 QExp for using the Scroll on the Gibberling
| |
| − | 4000 QExp for using the key and opening the chest
| |
| − | | |
| − | As you can see from the map, there are many ways to do this one. The
| |
| − | route I favor is this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Room 1: Go North to 4.
| |
| − | Room 4: Go North to 7.
| |
| − | Room 7: Kill ghost, open chest to get the +1 AC Helm. Go south.
| |
| − | Room 4: Go south to 1.
| |
| − | Room 1: Go east to 2.
| |
| − | Room 2: Fight goblin. East to 3.
| |
| − | Room 3: Open chest, fight skeleton, get Wand. Go up to 6.
| |
| − | Room 6: Fight War Dog, search for Potion (Heal) & Key. West to 5.
| |
| − | Room 5: Search for Scroll. Up to 8.
| |
| − | Room 8: East to 9.
| |
| − | Room 9: There is a 33% chance to get poisoned if you open the desk.
| |
| − | The Bracers +1 THAC0 are nice, however. North to 10.
| |
| − | Room 10: Use Scroll to kill Gibberling. West to 11.
| |
| − | Room 11: Open Chest (needs the Key from room 6) to get healed. Go
| |
| − | through the Arch to 12.
| |
| − | Room 12: Fight the mummy. Use the Wand first, then attack.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you don't want any of the items, the non-violent (at least until you
| |
| − | get to the Mummy) route is:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Room 1: Go north to 4.
| |
| − | Room 4: Go east to 5.
| |
| − | Room 5: Search for scroll. North to 8.
| |
| − | Room 8: East to 9.
| |
| − | Room 9: North to 10.
| |
| − | Room 10: Use Scroll to kill Gibberling. West to 11.
| |
| − | Room 11: Go through Archway to 12.
| |
| − | Room 12: Fight Mummy. I believe the mummy is stronger if you don't
| |
| − | have the Helm and Bracers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thus you are released from the Spirit Warrior, having succeeded in
| |
| − | getting the final key. For this you get 21,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3019)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go over to the great Seal on the floor. There are 3 pedestals around it,
| |
| − | click on each of these. Each key used gets you 20,000 quest experience
| |
| − | (for 60,000 total). Now that we've stuck the keys in, we still have
| |
| − | to turn them. And when you turn the keys, monsters appear. As soon as
| |
| − | you turn the key, I'd pause it and survey your enemies. If you have any
| |
| − | mages, take them out quickly to avoid getting Time Stopped.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Upper Right - Spirits of Priests (and one mage)
| |
| − | Items: Club of Detonation +3
| |
| − | Lower - Lich (25,000 experience), Flaming Skulls
| |
| − | Items: Erinne Sling +4 (upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | Serpent Shaft (upgradeable by Cespenar)
| |
| − | Upper Left - Final Guardians
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Final Guardians are meant to be very tough, and so they are. They
| |
| − | consist of:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nalmissra - Tanar'ri
| |
| − | 25,000 experience
| |
| − | Scroll: Wish
| |
| − | The Huntress - Demonic
| |
| − | 20,000 experience
| |
| − | Taralash Bow +4 (increases movement rate, Upgradeable)
| |
| − | Y'tossi - Demonic
| |
| − | 23,000 experience
| |
| − | Gauntlets of Extraordinary Specialization (+1 THAC0, +2 dmg
| |
| − | + 1/2 attack per round)
| |
| − | Amerilis Zauviir - Cleric
| |
| − | 20,000 experience
| |
| − | Hive Mother - Beholder
| |
| − | 50,000 experience
| |
| − | Xei Win Toh - Fighter
| |
| − | 28,000 experience
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are also lots of minor treasures too.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To prepare for the final battle, I summoned up some Mordenkainen's Swords
| |
| − | and placed them around the portal. I then moved my party well over to
| |
| − | the left, cast protective magics on them (and a Simulacrum as well).
| |
| − | If you have the Cloak of Reflection or the Shield of Balduran, be sure
| |
| − | to have those equipped on someone, and have them rush the Beholder.
| |
| − | I had the Swords attack Y'tossi as she is very tough and requires high
| |
| − | enchantments (the Swords are +5) to even hit. I then hit Nalmissra
| |
| − | (after doing a Remove Magic on her) since she was close before
| |
| − | concentrating more fully on the Beholder. Once those monsters are gone
| |
| − | it's practically smooth sailing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Getting killed by Instant-Death attacks? Try using the Death
| |
| − | Ward (cleric) before hand.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Saving after the battle is a GOOD idea.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Alan Cherry has a good idea: Keep everyone near the exit portal. Take
| |
| − | out one or two of the opponents, then use the portal and leave as soon as
| |
| − | someone's hurt bad. Heal up and recharge spells, and come back in. As
| |
| − | long as nobody's too far from the portal, you can exit anytime. Cast
| |
| − | Resist Fear before entering, since you can't control a character who
| |
| − | panics.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Konstantin has a more magical strategy: All it requires is a Mage or a
| |
| − | Sorcerer and the skull trap spell. I call this the chain reaction.
| |
| − | Anyway, the best kind of fight is when you get the XP for free. So I had
| |
| − | my thief set snares around the room and then using project image I had my
| |
| − | Sorcerer pump the room full of skull traps about 12 in each of the places
| |
| − | where the monsters would appear. This of course took a few minutes.
| |
| − | Then I took a rest and cast all of my protective spells, and got ready
| |
| − | for a fight. I carefully came up to the key thing (whatever it is) and
| |
| − | turned the key. There was a laugh, then my screen froze for a few
| |
| − | seconds as the skull traps were going off, when everything was finished
| |
| − | all the guardians were dead. They did not touch me once.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Xander77 offers the following strategies:
| |
| − | | |
| − | To begin with. it may be a good idea to kill all the monsters at the
| |
| − | monster machine except for the purple (undead) ones. Then start turning
| |
| − | undead with a sanctuaried cleric and recruit a bunch of Vampires,
| |
| − | Skeleton Warriors and Liches to your cause before going after the
| |
| − | guardians.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Finish the other seal guardians, rest-up and buff-up (For this battle I
| |
| − | suggest summoning 1 planetar 2-3 skeleton warriors/hashekars and 1-2
| |
| − | Mordenkainen's Swords. Cast a storm of venegance over the area if you
| |
| − | feel like it. Now. arrange everyone according to the strategy of your
| |
| − | choice and - open the last seal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Strategy 1 - General pile-up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Simple enough - send all the summoned creatures into battle. Let your
| |
| − | characters stand back and use every area-damage spell they know
| |
| − | (preferably summon-friendly ones). Chain-contingency + horrid wiltings
| |
| − | might work here (it might work in any big combat). Timestop + Improved
| |
| − | Alacricity is also nice.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Strictly according to the rules. A bit-touch-and-go, but doable
| |
| − | (especially if your level is 20+)
| |
| − | | |
| − | OTOH - It does seem somewhat impersonal, doesn't it? Going on to:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Strategy 2 - divide and conquer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Make sure that all your guys and summons take their assigned places
| |
| − | (see below) except for one mage that opens the final seal. At this
| |
| − | point we handle 3 of the guardians on a party-monster basis, while the
| |
| − | summons distract the other 3. Simple enough.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nimarha - Send a guy with negative plain protection (IMOD for example)
| |
| − | and charm protection against her. All her attacks are ignored, while
| |
| − | the guy uses a ranged weapon to help his friends. If you can find a
| |
| − | mage with the above specifications - even better. We need all the
| |
| − | fighters we can get taking down Ytossi and the Hive mother - the mage
| |
| − | can just stoneskin, and sit there doing his thing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ytossi - a fighter or 2. Breach her protection from magic weapons (a
| |
| − | mage should alternate between breaching her, breaching the hive mother
| |
| − | and magic missiling anyone who seems to be up to something).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hive mother - one guy with Cloak of reflection. An enraged Korgan is
| |
| − | good - maze and imprisonment won't work. Possibly another guy with high
| |
| − | MR\Cloak of Balduran to help him send her on her way before she starts
| |
| − | targeting the other party members.
| |
| − | | |
| − | BTW - If your main char is a fighter, you can distract them all the 3
| |
| − | on the right by yourself, and let the summons help your party. Both the
| |
| − | kensai and the archer have +1 weapons (the archer has a +2/ or maybe
| |
| − | +3 sword, but she only uses it once she runs out of arrows) so they
| |
| − | can't hurt you. You should carve the drow up bad enough that she won't
| |
| − | have time to fire of a spell.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Vice versa - you can handle the 3 on the right with your party (just
| |
| − | run on in and keep hitting them. Keep a mage free to keep the 3 on the
| |
| − | left in line) and let the summons handle the ones on the left in the
| |
| − | meantime. In which case:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Namirra - One skeleton warrior, or something else she can't charm and
| |
| − | can stay alive after a level drain or 2.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ytossi - one mordy sword. 2 if you feel like breaching and letting them
| |
| − | finish her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hive mother - one skeleton warrior and one Hakeashar. Both magic
| |
| − | resistant.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Planetar - wanders around and kills anything that needs killing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cast a death word on your weaker party members in case a spell goes
| |
| − | after the wrong person, and finish the whole thing quickly - they start
| |
| − | turning to opponents other then the ones they're currently facing after
| |
| − | a while.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once they're dead and gone, time to click the Wheel above the Seal to
| |
| − | open it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Going down...
| |
| − | | |
| − | - THE IMPRISONED ONE (AR 3020)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ah, finally we meet the elusive "Imprisoned One"... He'll try to talk
| |
| − | you out of using the Scroll you were given, at the moment we don't want
| |
| − | to listen to that. Get out of the conversation, put the scroll in a
| |
| − | Quick Item Slot and use it. This is worth 80,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Of course, the Imprisoned One was right, and you are now trapped down
| |
| − | here. You can go up the stairs and look at the portals, but you sure
| |
| − | can't do anything about it. Talk to the demogorgon again. Listen to its
| |
| − | plan, it will open a small rift in the seal to let you out, you go talk
| |
| − | to the false-Helmites and trick them into coming to check on the
| |
| − | Imprisoned One, he kills them and everyone is happy. Sounds like fun.
| |
| − | Agree, and he'll open the portals.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Use the Right Portal to get back to the beginning.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (AR 3000)
| |
| − | | |
| − | You'll appear on the ground level, find the stairs up to the roof to
| |
| − | talk to Odren. Tell him what the Imprisoned One told you to tell him,
| |
| − | (that you killed the Imprisoned One) and they'll go rushing down to
| |
| − | check for themselves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After that a Specter appears and talks to you. She tells you that Odren
| |
| − | was indeed corrupt, that it was He who was supposed to do the ritual
| |
| − | binding the Demogorgon (prince of demons) in the Keep. He wimped out
| |
| − | and thought to sacrifice you. She says Helm has sealed his fate. She
| |
| − | gives you three options to do:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Flee in Terror
| |
| − | Enter the Keep and Save Orden
| |
| − | Use a New Scroll to Seal both Demogorgon and Orden inside
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pick either Enter the Keep or Use the Scroll and she'll give you the
| |
| − | scroll (just in case). This is worth 25,000 experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The easiest is to simply take the New Scroll, use it and seal both
| |
| − | inside. This gets you 80,000 quest experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: Once you seal the Demogorgon in with the Scroll, you can never
| |
| − | again attempt to kill him.

| − | ... Except for a very small area on the door that still allows
| |
| − | you to enter, that is.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Of course, many people might think it too easy to simply use a scroll,
| |
| − | if so the it is time to go back inside. Drop down the stairs to the
| |
| − | ground, then over to the left and into the Demogorgon's Lair.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If not, then congratulations on completing the Watcher's Keep.

| |

| − | Everyone dies really quickly around the Demogorgon, so you can't expect
| |
| − | help from the "knights." Demogorgon also summons up a pair of Mariliths
| |
| − | (similar to Y'tossi from earlier) making this a very tough battle indeed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Anyway, before dropping down to his level, you'll want to prepare
| |
| − | yourself. Protection spells, summonings, anything you think might help.
| |
| − | Make sure everyone has +4 weapons so that they can actually hit something
| |
| − | down there (otherwise, just leave them up by the portals). If you kill
| |
| − | one set of minions, he'll summon more. In order to hit the Demogorgon
| |
| − | you'll need to lower his defenses. I would suggest Khelben's Warding
| |
| − | Whip. Use all of your special abilities/items/spells that you can while
| |
| − | in the battle. There's no better time than now to try out your Whirlwind
| |
| − | attacks. It is not ESSENTIAL to take out his Mariliths, you could leave
| |
| − | them be and just try to kill Demogorgon. If you do kill his Mariliths
| |
| − | he'll summon more... again and again. Remember, you can't hurt him
| |
| − | if he has protections on, so use Warding Whip!
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have the higher abilities, summon Planetars and other similar
| |
| − | creatures (those can sure take a beating). You may get poisoned, so
| |
| − | either have an antidote, or a spell handy. Set up Contingencies if you
| |
| − | can, and Spell Triggers.

| − | Note: This is probably the most difficult battle in any of these
| |
| − | games, so if you can't do it after several attempts, try
| |
| − | coming back later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, you cannot cheat to kill the Demogorgon. It won't work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Demogorgon is not stopped by Time Stop, so unless your mage
| |
| − | can fight him on his/her own, don't use it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Exploits work against Demogorgon quite well. Drop a "Pit
| |
| − | Trap" in the center before he appears (Or, drop several). Or
| |
| − | if you're into magic, use the Project Image spell exploit to
| |
| − | summon multiple Planetars.

| − | Killing the Demogorgon is also worth 100,000 quest experience. Talk to

| − | Either way, you are done with the Watcher's Keep!
