Dear Dr Lurch,

I'm on chapter 2 of the game. I got my fort and some couple of fortifications done, but i can't seem to find one NPC for it. The guy is called Guyven and i found out about him from Torio Claven. She says i can find him on the outscurts of Duskwood or Old Owel Well. I've been to both places and can't seem to find him.

Thank you.

lurchman
11.17.06, 14:34
He's "Guyven of the Road", and before you get the Keep, most meetings are coincidental. I do remember meeting him in Ember, after the massacre. There were a couple of other places I met him too. If you have the Keep, enter it. Once inside the main hall, go through the door on the left. Turn left immediately, and open that door. In my Keep, he's in that room. If you never met him, he might not be. Let me know if he isn't.

Ronwue
11.17.06, 18:45
I don't think I met him. I have he keep, but by now i'm way past that point.
Anyway, by my observations wether you upgrade the keep or not matters little to the end of the game. At least as equiping the men. Wall upgrades are essensial, i think.

i have a question....a stupid question i think...

i m at neverwinter right now, and my inventory is full, i dont want to sell some things so, the question is: WHERE IS A CHEST ?! or something like that in which i can store things without limit...
till now i didnt find anything .... its hard to live in NW...

lurchman
11.18.06, 08:57
There is no chest right away. I know what Duncan said, it's a bug. If you go way in the back of the in, there are workbenches. You can store things there.
There will be a chest later on.

I really don't know yet, how much it matters. There might be some kind of background story that might have an attack on the Keep. And depending on the upgrades you do, determines the outcome. I'll have to wait and see. I'm just getting to the last part of Act 2.

I'm at Old Owl Well. I went to Yaosig something's lair, killed him, found the man that claimed to be the Emissary. Freed him. Went to Logram's lair, killed Logram. Picked up his medallion. Looted the place. Went down below and killed the priest and got his journal. Came back out, came back to Owl Well. On the way got ambushed by the same "man" who is apparently not the Emissary. Killed him. Then went to Callum the commander, who still acts like I havent found the emissary. I look in the journal, and the emissary quest is still stuck on "find logram's lair", and the logram quest says "bring his war banner".

I went back to Logam's lair to see if i missed something. But now there is no way to get back to the 2nd or 3rd level-there is only the exit out to the world map. The 1st time I was on the 3rd level of Logram's lair, I did find the real emissary and freed him. But I think the quest is glitched..Anything I can do to get past this?

lurchman
11.19.06, 12:49
In the third level, where you fought the Shadow priest, and his mages, is where the emissary was. In a little room at the top of the chamber. If you can't get back in to the third level, then you can try the command console. Otherwise you probably looking at a reload.

It doesn't matter what level you are. At the beginning of Act 3, the castle is attacked. You save Lord Nasher. Then you become one of the Nine.

The first guy you find is a fraud, impersinating the emissary. The real one is in the room right next to wyle, where you kill the shadow priest.

11.20.06, 10:57
In order to improve the greycloaks equipment, you need to improve the blacksmith shop. That wii encourage Jacoby to come to the Keep. But then he will tell you, he needs material, ore. Outside the Keep, is a miner, can't remember name. He will ask you to find ore deposits, and tell him. Once you do, then you can improve the gear.

You can...

When you talk to Veedle and you ask him to do something, it automatically takes it from your gold in your inventory if the Keep funds are insufficient

Another question :)
I have problem with ore. I got three ore sample but I could just do two upgrades. Where is the third one ????
And I think I miss the ores in orc caverns. There isn't any chance to go back there. Is it possible to make all upgrades full in ch.3 without the ores in orc caverns?

trying to recall this from memory.. 1st ghost is in the first room you walk into. if you go right, there will be 2 ghosts in the main area. proceed all the way to the back, there will be some rock tunnels.. there's another one hiding by itself in one of the deadends, close to where the Umber hulk is in the far lower left section of the map..
staying in that back section, but on the right side of the map now, there is another one located in a room of beds and chests(this is a rather tough fight) and if you go back up to the main halls again, check every room, you should find 2 more in there.

hmm...don't know what to tell you dude.. my own personal game, when i got to upgrading the armor... i could only go so far...got them into Scale Mail.. when it comes down to it in the end, your Greycloaks are extra help and dmg when defending the keep. but they will die quickly in comparison to your companions, due to your levels being so much higher and you having magical gear/weapons and able to use potions... you can heal these guys but it's not that big of a deal.

Spirit locations *******

1) From the first room above room with bookcases, go left through 2 doors, enter first door on right.
2) Exit room, turn right, then right at corner, go uo to end, enter door on left.
3) Exit door, go straight to first door on left, go up to end.
4) Go down to first left, then left again, right at corner, go to end, turn right, then left.
5) Go right, then left, left again, down, next left, through door on right, cross room go left, go through door.
6) Exit same door, go to far end of room, exit door, take next left, go down, through door, turn right, go through door.


Okay dude. This is the best I can do.

And the shard-sword... how many pieces you need to finish it? And, most important, what is the "procedure"?
In order to finish the summoning procedure in the keep basement, I think I need one faint power essence. Any idea where is to be find? Or, how I can make one?
Thanks

shards that i can remember: 1 from swamps, 1 from Duncun, 1 from Aldanon, like 2 or 3 from the Gith chick that trys to kill you, and 1 from a Reaver. once you have them all, you will be sent on a quest back to West Harbor to reforge it, even those Aldanon and Zhjavre still says you're missing like 6 shards... when you get this quest, you'll go through the Song Portal and travel to West Harbor, hit a spot in the city and the cinematics will happen about reforging it.

As for the faint power essence, i've recieved different types of essences from battling Elementals throughout the game.

Dr. Lurch,

I was wondering if you had any tips on defeating dragons. I've recently tried to kill the Red Dragon on the fire giant's mountain and the two black dragons where Nolo's heart is and keep getting viciously beat down like a 4 year old riding a bull. Any insight would be helpful!

probably the best thing i can suggest is buffs. Stoneskin, protection shield, bless, and the stat raising ones... Also have the cleric for mass heals and pally for lay on hands. both of them come in handy. As for armor, you need fire resist out the *** on these fight, so load up on some fire resistance gear. There is a merchant inside the Ironfist Strongehold that sells good gear for this encounter. The bard also has a nice shield spell for Fire resistance too... These will be long fights. and the red dragon is way tougher than the 2 black dragons.

vlad1974

About the faint power essence. I got a lot of faint, glowing and radiance, but none of power. Any ideas?
About fighting the red dragon. I lure him in a battle with the red giants, I fought against him with the red giants... after he's finished, I let my companions fight, and I was going at the place you enter in the red giants camp. In that place, max 2 red giants are fighting with you, so was easy to defeat. For the moment, I don't have another dragon to fight with, but I'm hoping to find a similar solution.

wandaien
11.23.06, 01:04
thanks vlad, i hadn't explored that option in fighting the red dragon. But the 2 black dragons however are not a similar situation i'm afraid, but they aren't nearly as powerful.

As for the power essence, I know this is needed to complete the summoning ritual in the basement of the keep. but how to obtain it i'm not sure. maybe there's somewhere specific it's dropped or maybe a way to create it from using the other essences..*shrug* i do know that the summoning is a side-quest and not required to finish the game. so i wouldn't sweat bullets over it :p

sorry if im not supposed to answer questions in this thread

well, assuming they havent changed much between 3 and 3.5 (sorry, 3ed phb is the closest one)
TURN & REBUKE UNDEAD

good clerics & palidins turn undead (send them running) or distroy them

evil clerics & blackguards rebukes or commands them.
(not sure if they implemented this in nwn2)

first you make a turning check (1d20+cha)
depending on the result the charactor can turn undead with less hd than cleric level+x (where x is anywhere form -4 to 4)

you then roll turning damage (2d6+cleric level+cha) to get the total number of hd affected...
it effects the closest first. if you have twice as many levels as the undead have hd then those that would be turned are destroyed.

basical if it works the undead run away, and if it works really well then the undead die.

Hey Dr. Lurch,

Just wondering if you'd encountered any bugs in the game that make you unable to use an object. For example, I was finally able to take out the two black dragon's at Nolaloth's heart, but now I am unable to activate the heart to attack it. Is there some way I can get around this besides reloading an old (very old, I tend to only use quicksave) saved game?

When you get the shard from the Shadow Reaver, Zhjaeve will tell you that you have enough pieces. You end up back in West Harbor, to the spot where you felt great power eminating from. A crossroad in the path. The game will take ove rwhen you reach it. Expect a tuogh fight though.

I haven't picked up an essence yet. It is supposed to be some kind of special ink, to which certain runes can be made on the Golem. This is supposed to bring it to life.

Couldn't you ask me something easier? Ya, it was a tough battle for me too. I finally did it by using my character, a fighter, and the dwarf. As the damage makers. I used Qara, Elenee and Sand, fore magic. Outfit yourself and you people with as much fire protection as you can. Get both protection spells and damage spells ready in the quick slots. As far as the dragon on Mt. Galamdrys, your better off choosing to fight both at the firegiant camp. While the dragon fights the king, you kill the rest of the giants. Then turn on the king and the dragon. As far as the two dragons by Nolaloth, you can take on one at a time if you are lucky. I ran to the back end of one, and was able to fight him alone while the other watched. But, believe me. It took several tries to get it. Good luck. And don't forget your new special abilities.

PS. Just thought of something you could try. Attack the heart from one side, and you should be able to fight the dragon on that side only, worth a try.

As I remember, I wasn't attacked by the dragons until after I attacked the heart. You must have attacked the heart, to be attacked by the dragons. I only seems to take one bloew to destroy the heart. So after defeating the two dragons, the heart is already broken.

Has anyone figured out where the special ink is for activating the golem in the basement?

I know I saw one past about essences and inks. Power Essences can be made by examining some of the "monster" parts like Umber Hulk Claws. You can use Craft Alchemy and a Mortal/Pistol to crush up monster parts. They yield different essences.

I think the Umber Hulk Claws can get you faint power essences. Also look at vampire stuff as I think they yield power essences. You can also use multiple lower essences to make 1 essence of bigger power (like couple weaks make a faint).

Though, I am still stumped on the ink for the golem.

Also, I am about 90% of the way done with my castle. What are the last parts of the castle? I have not found Gyven of the Road in my castle, though I did talk to him several times including Ember during the game. He said he would stop in once I have a home....but nothing.

arathalion
11.25.06, 20:50

Ok, for the ink, when you go to the cave under ember , bring Gronbar with you .
In the room with the Glowstone(it still has to be in there) there is a pool of water , walk up to this pool , and (i`m not sure if you have to activate it or not ) Gronbar will say something about the water from this pool, having been charged by the glowstone , will be perfect for inscribing the runes on the golem.

I belive that is the ink you need.

e2scorpio
11.26.06, 10:46
There are points that you can rest...not many but usually after the mini-boss fights..just before you find the black cloud that teleports you around. So there are 4 or 5 resting spots....be warned you will get interrupted resting sometimes.

easy question

stuck in chapter 1, in the first part of the Ironfist keep area after talking to the dwarven scouts. killed the two ogres and cleared out the bugbears, went over towards the machine and it said its missing a part. I, for the life of me, can not figure out where or what said part is.

I figured out the problem. Switch the camera into TOP down viewing for KoS and you can summon him...as for walking through the clouds you have to basically kill the mini bosses and all creatures to get through the black clouds...only one was tricky I think the thrid one it looks like it is down a flight of stairs but it is along a back path....hope it helps.

zhyrul sez, i'm looking for the places that Guyven of the Road would be interested in, can anyone tell me these places? Because i miss ne, but i don't know which one!

Well, the only one I know of, is the Wendersnaven Glade. I'm not concentrating on the small stuff this time through. I'm staying mostly with main quest things. Theres way too much in the game to get the first time through.

I've just done the 'Greatest Thief in Neverwinter' quest, except that the Vault door won't open. I think it may be because I used the key before entering the combination, anyway it says it's unlocked but it isn't, all I get is the 'Do Nothing' option when trying to open it.

Is there any way to force it open, or unlock the door with the console or add the key back to the inventory? Everyone in the manor is dead so they can't help me :rolleyes:

I have a question about crafting. I want to craft a Mantle of Spell Resistance, and the spell that you need to cast at the workbench is simply called "spell resistance". I have looked all through the manual and have not found a spell called "spell resistance". Do they mean Spell Mantle?? Am I missing something?

wandaien
11.28.06, 11:39
yes there is a spell called spell resistance... and it's in the item database that i typed up..

as to who's able to use it, not sure... but good luck :)

has anyone else had a problem with your main character being permanently slowed? I ve got 3 of the statues for the ritual but near the end when you fight the main troll the main character suddenly got slowed

I ve done heal lesser restoration remove curse spent god knows how long swapping items round to find one causing a problem

only item the character has which looks cursed now is a mummy katana only usable by an undead which cant be swapped out or dropped - nyone else had this and got past it?

Is there any way to save Shandra from death by her grandfather, or is she dead no matter what?

wandaien
11.28.06, 14:16
suddenly slowed after fighting a troll? hmm.. purhaps try resting a few times or zoning somewhere else like the keep.. this would eleviate any "24 hour" length debuffs that could have occured and just to double check, you aren't carrying more than what your character can handle making him/her encumbered? or your spot/tracking effects are currently on... if you don't have keen senses, trackless step, or other feats that effect those actions using these actions will slow your character to 50% speed :p

she is still in your party list afterwards, which is interesting. but i think she has to die...

and i think ill try asking hear once more before makeing my own thread. after you teleport to the ruins in the vale of merdelain (or near it), just asfter neeska gets kidnaped, do you ever get to rest with out being assaulted by vampires???

wandaien
11.29.06, 16:53
you can rest in the vale of merdelain at the end, but there are spots far and few between... just try to stay away from doors and accidently clicking on stuff after you've killed off a room... and those vampires are a pain in the butt

arathalion
11.29.06, 18:41
so walk into a room, kill everything, go back as far away from everything as you can and rest?

yeah, generally the center of the rooms are available for resting.. you just gotta play with it.

Jerro takes off and you find him at the house...

A demon comes and summons 2 devils and you end up fighting them..

I cant for the life of me kill them fast enough to get the demon solo to waste him..

Am I missing a item or just not useing the right people..

Party is Main guy, Dorf, Druid, Jerro , Cleric, Pally

have also tried the above but Sand instead of cleric...

no matter what I try I cant beat that fight...

I know jerro takes off into the house and a few cut sceens then you head back to keep and undead attack after that..

At this part of quest what did yall use as your team to beat this fight?

11.30.06, 01:55
are you useing spells that do fire dammage. if so dont.(some divine spells are ok, but they only do hald damadge). harm is a fun spell, you should have that by now. personaly i used kelgah, elenee sand and jerro (thought it funny that you could add him to the part, so i did)

*Failure* unable to activate object while in combat

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am stuck, I am angry , I am frustrated.

I get the message of : *failure, unable to use object while in combat .

Attempting to activate the purification statue no 4.
(at the begining of the purfication map location).

This is after I have activated the gem mine/ season temple/ and keep ones.

There is just nothing to fight or do anything that will allow access to the portal.
or pass this message

Please help, I am frustrated with the problem.

Note:
I have loaded the location from the (begining) twice and it will not activate even before I get to the other statues anyway. i DID IT just in case it was a order thing.

I looked and killed everything in sight on the map.

All walktghroughs suggest there is no order and www awake-at- night.com suggest there is. However it still did not work when you do.


In response to reply:

""by from the beginning do you mean a save from before you first when to the area at all?""

- MSg reply:

I saved the game before I traveled to each new area (that apears on the map).
I have a save that I used and re used in the crosskeep location before i left to complete the purification map.

It did the same thing even after i spent time re doing the quests
(just in case I stuffed something up with them)

Hope it helps.

Kevin, this is a common bug that alot of people are experiencing. Hopefully Obsidian has a patch in the works to correct this issue. :confused: There is a way around it, so you can continue on with the story.

There really isn't an order to the Statues that you have to get, EXCEPT for the first one, which is the statue you are having an issue with. since it's right there at the beginning of the area, as soon as you zone in.. I suggest like, putting your companions on puppet mode for the time being maybe, and as SOON as you load into this area, cross the bridge, up the little path and snag this statue as First and foremost before you do ANYTHING else. Then once you get the statue done, go around and slaughter anything on the map. :D

I'm a bit confused. The first part of Ember is discovering all the people dead accept 1 woman. You should still have Shandra with you until way later. You will discover Ember has been slaughtered, talk to a boy Seer. He will request something of you.

Second time is the investigation to prove your innocent of the mass murders of Ember. Both of these still have Shandra in them

I'm stuck with the last mission in the Merchant quarter. Axle is asking me to follow a couple of thugs to their hideout, but after finding the hideout I cannot enter the building. I cannot bash or pick the lock or even open it with couple of delayed blast fireballs.
Thank you in advance for every hint you might have how to sort this out.

Okay, I don't have any solid leads because I played the good side the first time through. I'm starting the game over now, doing the bad boy side of it, but I haven'yt got that far yet. But it sounds to me like you missed something or forgot to do something. Check your journal, it might give you a hint as to what you need to do.

12.03.06, 03:26
The only thing I can think of is through the Merchant quater evacuation, do not save anyone from the thugs/thiefs. Just watch everyone being robbed and follow the leads. I have slaugtered a couple of thiefs, they were harassing nobles for some change, and that part I could have missed.

On behalf of the Thieves-Guild.net team - Welcome to the forums!

As for your problem, it sounds to me like your game is bugged, I would suggest re-installing Nwn2, updating to the latest patch, and loading your save game, seeing if that fixes it, if not - to restart your game from the beginning and it should hopefully work then.

I cannot leave town. I have checked and tracked everywhere, and nothing! I cannot even access the "World Map" icon. I click on it and NOTHING!

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Oh yea, I am running the 1.03 patch.

I had the same problem yesterday. This seems to be a new bug caused by the 1.03 patch. It didn't happen in my first run through the game, and it seems to be happening to quite a few people recently. I found a work around after digging in the tool set and posted it on the official forums. I'll also post it here, as others will probably have this problem, too:

After much digging in the tool set, I figured out that my problem was that the cutscene after the battle never finished. So, for anybody else that is having this problem, this is what I did to get going again:

`
DebugMode 1
rs ga_start_convo ("shandra", "24_cs_shandra_am", 0, 0, 1, 0)

That replayed the cutscene, I got the necessary journal entry, and was able to continue the game.

Don't forget to close out of DebugMode after the cutscene.

DebugMode 0

To add to this. You also can be a druid and have the ability to understand this spider, If you are one or have Elanee in your group. The spider will end up at your keep in the basement. It will also spin a cloak for you, "for some reason I was bugged and the spider just kept shooing me away so she could finish it) Never resulting in me getting the cloak *sighs*

wandaien
12.17.06, 20:30
not really sure on that, since I honestly haven't messed with that, purhaps there is a case that you have to be a specific lvl in alchemy skill to make the merge, but i haven't heard of it.

Any essence can be downgraded to an essence of lesser power by using the mortar & pestle on it.

Radiant > Glowing > Weak > Faint.

Likewise, putting two identical essences in an alchemy bench and then using the mortar & pestle on the bench will upgrade it to the next power level.

2 Faint = 1 Weak
2 Weak = 1 Glowing
2 Glowing = 1 Radiant

Worse, when I completed Ironfist and didn't quite have enough influence with Khelgar to get him to discuss it (much), I went to the Temple of Tyr anyway. The priest says what Khelgar said was not enough for him to complete the Trial of the Maimed quest, but in my journal, it has "quest completed" anyway. what's going on???

The Skymirror thing sounds like a bug. Not too sure what you can do about that. The quest with Khelgar could be a possibility that even a try and fail could register as a completed quest. On my first time through the game, I only did one of his side quests. But not that one. But that's what it sounds like. It might be that you just get one chance to do it. Unless you reload a savegame.

The cabinet in the capt. suite has a key in the war room. Go to the little desk in there at the back of the room. The key looks like a theives tool.

As for the dialog with Grobner, I don't know. I never had this issue. Any time i had something for the construct, the dialog would always offer that option. So maybe a bug of some sort,

Dear Dr. Lurch,

I sure hope there is a solution to this one... I am in Act 3, and I've just finished having the scroll read and killed the shadow reaver. However, I think I forgot to loot the body because when I went back to Crossroad Keep, even though The conversation clearly indicates that we received the shard, neither I, nor any of my companions have the shard in their inventory. Also, there is no sign of the book that I've seen some say is dropped there and that Amon J. needs to make portal. Unfortunately, my last good save was an hour ago.

Yes, I know I should have saved more recently.

I even tried the map bug trick where you go through the well in Ember and come out in Duskwood to see a more complete map than is available at this point, but the scene of the shadow reaver battle isn't on it.

I suppose I could DebugMode the items into my inventory, but I haven't seen the tags listed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Signed,
DigitalSorceress... stupid girl who didn't save enough.

bigchief
12.22.06, 21:30
You are probably OK without the shard. It doesn't take all of them to reforge the sword. You only have to collect enough to get to the point where you can do it. In fact, you don't actually need to have any of the shards on you when you reforge the sword. Some people have given the shards to their companions, reforged the sword, then took the shards back, and continued to get the bonuses from the shards.

As for the book, it depends on which reaver it was. You get the book from the 3rd? reaver (the one who kills Callum).

arathalion
12.22.06, 22:08
yup the book is on the rever that is controling 4 blade golums

DigitalSorceress
12.22.06, 22:34
Thank you both for the information... So, once the "waypoint" was set, I'm okay, and the book I thought I was missing is actually further along in the plotline. WHEW!!

Thanks for the tip about distributing the shards before reforming the blade. I think I will use that.

Cheers,
DigitalSorceress

p.s.
giveitem nwn2_it_shardX
(where X is 0 through 8 corresponding to each shard - in my case 7)

That was the code I needed to use to respawn the shard. I just counted the number I had (less the invisible, embedded one) and added one to get the right one.

Back door? Are you talking about the warehouse for the smugglers quest? (not sure the correct name of quest) If you are, there is no back door. You'll need to go back out the front door you came in (for a cutscene) after obtaining your quest item you needed to find.

hope this helps. If this is not the area your talking about, post back :)

I posted this in another topic but actually that wasnt the correct place to post it so I will try it again but now in the question section :p.

Is there a way to see what influence you have with the other characters and is there also a possibility to see how 'chaotic' and how 'good' you are? In neverwinter nights the first ;) you just had to look at your profile. Here I dont seem to find it.

Influence yes:

use the console like this

~
DebugMode 1
rs kr_influence
~

that opens a window which allows you to either view or edit your influence with specific npcs (the second ~ closes the backscreen and its more to make the window easier to see)

select the edit function
select a character

it will tell you that you have xx influence with the selected character and ask you what you want to do

if you only wanted to view the influence select do nothing (if you want to edit you can raise or lower influence by 1 or 10 points)
select another character to view (or edit)

when you have viewed the last character, selct do nothing
and then say nevermind - that closes the influence editor

now type the following

~
DebugMode 0
~

That reopens the console screen, shuts down the console function and closes the console screen.


I believe there is something similiar you can do for alignment but I don't know the console command for that. Sorry.

You can use KG's solution in game or you can peek at the globals.xml file in your current save game directory...open with wordpad and search for "influence" without the quotes or the character name. I believe that the information for your alignment is there too.....note you can edit this file to make changes as desired.....just make sure to back the file up first incase you screw up...do not use WORD to edit this, use wordpad or notepad or some editor that doesn't add control characters to the file.

Had to force-spawn Guyven in the third act, but he seems to be functioning OK. But have a question. Along about the time you report Mt Galardrym to him (I'd done the Mere, the Wendersneven, and then the Ironfist stronghold, so I don't know if it's how many times you've reported to him or if it's the Ironfist quest specifically), he says he knows a secret about the Keep and that you should look somewhere like outside your walls at the base of the second tower to the north. Can someone direct me to the spot he means? I think I've looked at the base of every tower you can actually navigate to around the Keep and can't find any hot buttons. Help?

Thanks Dr. Lurch for a great resource. I've used the walkthrough to perfection and I'm stuck on the Final Battle. I defeated the Garius battle and the major KoS but I'm getting killed on the dozens of mini-KoS part. Even on easy level they just keep popping up and I have no idea how to deactivate the different Statues. I only lost Bishop and Qara but took care of them so I have a full party. All my spellcasters get dropped like flies and I'm left running around with melee charachters having no idea how to stop all these little Shadows from coming. A quote keeps popping up about "trapping them in a web" but how do you shut off the regeneration of the mini-KOS'S? Any tips/advice?

Hi Echoes

The web is one of the purification spells. Jerro has that one. If you remember, he got the last of statue of putification finished. :)
The little KoS's should end after a little while. You will know when it is time to destroy the statues. You will get a Q for this. You can blast them or melee them. Either one.

Any thing else? Feel free to ask again :)

Echoes, reminds me of an old Pink Floyd song. lol

Anyway, each pillar has three mini KOS's. If you kill them, more come for a while. I concentrated on destroying the pillar first. Then the Mini's from that pillar. Then go to the next one. The only trouble I had was controling Khelgar. If you don't get too close to the next pillar, the mini KOS's will stay put. But Khelgar would run around attacking them all. Then forget it. Your doing nothing but fighting those darn things. Usually I would use him on the pillar, and the rest of my group held off the enemy. Kind of a trial and error thing though. Depending on your party makeup. I lost Neeshka, Bishop, and Qara. I missed Qaras powers, but not her. lol
I was a fighter, so I usually worked with Khelgar doing the muscle work. Had the rest do the spell casting and second line fighting. Try it, for what it's worth. And good luck!

Dr. Lurch,

I'm having a problem in NWN2 that has stopped me in my tracks and I haven't read about anything similar happening to anyone else in any forum here or elsewhere.

I have gotten to the point where my character has finished the trial, has spent the night in the Temple of Tyre and has had his talk with Shandra and the gnome and is ready to go to battle with Lorne. The problem is, I can't get Lorne to fight!!! I walk down the ramp to the arena but Lorne won't move! I've tried everything, including talking to him or any other NPC that is in the audience but nothing I do will initiate combat! I've even went back an replayed a sizable portion of the game, hoping that something will "reset", but it's been to no avail. Is this a software glitch that's going to require me to buy another copy of NWN2 or am I doing something wrong?

Please Help!

Liso,

Thanks for the quick reply! To answer your questions - no, I haven't actually used any patches yet, so that will take care of question 1 and 3. And no- I never got the cut scene you described. I guess that sounds like a bug, but my only question is, do you think the patch will work? The decriptions of it that I've read don't mention my problem so I haven't bothered downloading it yet.

Thanks for your assistance! :-)

Probably a very noobish question, but I'm confused about enchanting items and the arcane spell failure of various armors.

First: The Eldrich Knight chain shirt has a spell failure of 20%, then under properties, a spell failure of -20%...does this mean a net spell failure of 0% (and if so, why the heck they couldn't just put 0 in spell failure is beyond me, dammit), and if so, is this the only actual armor that doesn't carry spell failure?

Second, can you enchant named armor like this? Can I have, for instance, Eldrich Knight Chain Shirt +5, for a total armor bonus of (base 4 + 2 bonus + 5 enchantment = 11)? Does the naming of the Armor take up a "slot" in the 3 slots of enchantment?

They really did a lousy job explaining the enchanting system, IMHO.

Sean

I can't help you on the first one since I've never played a EK and therefore haven't had to worry about the arcane spell failure issue, in particular with that EKChain shirt.

As to the second, actually NAMING an item does NOT take up a slot. Only actual enchantments take up slots, and those include such things as: weight reduction (in the case of weapons and some armor), light emitting properties, on hit effects, base enchantment and several more.

Check out the crafting guides in the sections on the left. If those don't answer your questions, nothing will. :D

Epirote
04.09.08, 20:31
Yes, the EK Chain Shirt has no spell failure, because the -20% cancels out the +20%. As to why they did it this way, well, the chain shirt has a spell failure of 20%, so they put a property to cancel that out.

Thanks for that...so in regards to the other question, can you, for instance, add 3 enchantments to this item? Or is it "full"? Or can you only add one or two more?

Thanks for the help.

Sean

Epirote
04.10.08, 12:21
No, you cannot enchant the EK chain shirt further. To enchant armor and weapons in the OC you need at least one free slot in the properties section of the item in question. The EK chain shirt has already more than 3 properties on it, so it cannot be further enchanted.

some examples to clarify this further:

A plain chain shirt has no special properties, so you can add 3 enchantments on it in the OC (4 in Motb). This applies also to mithral armor in general, since the mithral special property does not count. (It does however count on a weapon, but you would not want to craft a mithral weapon anyways)

The Bone Phoenix, found early on in the game, has only two special properties (+1 and fire damage +1d6), so you can put another enchantment on it or upgrade the +1 property. Note: once you have put 3 enchantments on an item, you cannot further upgrade an existing enchantment.

For an Eldritch Knight I would recommend to craft a Robe of the Archmagi, although you'll have to wait till Level 14 for that. Till you get there, use anything else available, and if you have the money, the EK Chain Shirt is a good short term option.

Thanks for all the help so far...now 2 more questions:

2) Is there any way (including editing files) to allow the NPCs to multiclass, outside of say the Dwarf becoming a monk too late to be worthwhile? I'd like to see possibilities of Qara being a Dragon Disciple (come on, with her flame obsession...), possibly Arcane Archer for Grob-whatever his name is, etc. In other words, I'd like to explore character classes more than just one at a bloody time, the way the game has it set up.

You're welcome. :) As to your question, can't think of any area where monster respawn, no. There was an XP exploit in Jerro's Haven, I think, but I'm not sure if it is still there. It involves the use of a true name on a demon or devil there.

I did incidentally find a point where you can generate monsters over and over again, although it's not necessarily worth it. You can, in the collector's mansion, give the wrong code to the vault door and "trigger a trap" which generates a couple of guards. Didn't see any treasure drops, but they do give exp when you kill them. You can do this multiple times.

Incidentally, in the walkthrough, the code is mentioned as just being the three numbers mentioned, in reverse. While that is true, there actually IS meaning to the riddle (I figured it out before reading the walkthrough):
Nine are we when taken all three. /Last one slain, then six remain. /None survive our first less five.

First line: Nine are we when taken all three = three numbers adding to nine
Second: Last one slain then six remain = take away the last number, and six remains; thus the last number must be 3 ( 9 - 3 = 6 )
Third = None survive our first less five = the first less five is none; thus the first number is 5 and the second is 1 ( 5 + 1 + 3 = 9 )

Sean

And another question...if I install MotB, can I play the OC with the classes/races of the expansion?

Thanks!

2 more questions, and thank you for your patience in answering my noobish questions. This time, more technical.

1) What, specifically, determines the cost for crafting scrolls, potions and wands? Is it a formula (if so, what?) or a set amount in a 2da or some such file somewhere, and where is it?

2) I found some indication that you can craft potions via alchemy (specifically, the 2da file crft_alch_potns.2da) and was wondering if this was possible, since the manual never mentioned this, or was this something that was never implemented like the Neverwinter Nine Magus?

Thanks!

1) It's a formula that varies depending on whether you are crafting a scroll, potion or wand. The formulas and some specific notes about each process are outlined here:

http://www.thieves-guild.net/index.php?pid=288

If you want a complete breakdown on specific costs for each and every wand, scroll and potion you'll have to do some digging on other sites.

Btw, I'm not even sure that the recipes in that crft_alch_potns.2da file are implemented. It might be worth a test. :D

2) That file pertains to the use of the alchemical skill when crafting poisons and grenade like weapons such as alchemical fire and acid flask. Crafting potions always requies the Brew Potion Feat. Again the details on grenade weapons and poisons are spelled out here:

http://www.thieves-guild.net/index.php?pid=244

Hope that helps.

You definitely have at least one glitch (maybe more) and it start before the bridges. During the war room conversation before heading to the bridges, you should be given the option to select 2 companions to go with you. The fact that you aren't is problem 1. Later on, you get either a group of archers or melee greycloaks to fight with you. The fact that you are NOT given either of those options is the first sign that something is wrong. And those are 2 different scripts that are not firing. After that you should get teleported back into the keep for part 2 of the defending the keep sequence - so that's problem 3.

The fact that the scripts continue to misfire repeatedly could be the result of a conflict caused by custom content. Remove any haks or mods or any other custom content from your override or haks folders and try reloading and replaying. If you still do not get the option to add 2 companions during the war room sequence, stop and don't continue. If the first script continues to misfire, the later ones probably won't fire properly either.

However, it sounds like you might have a corrupted installation. You are having 3 different scripts failing to fire here. And the last one is a killer since you actually can't procede with the game. You might have to totally reinstall.

As always, you should make sure that you are patched to the latest version of the game (v1.12) and that you have followed the correct patching sequence and used the patches appropriate for having just NWN2 or NWN2 plus the expansion.

How far back have you gone when trying to reload from a previous save?

And please don't be offended by this, but if you are running a No_CD crack, you should remove it. They are unreliable and can cause a multitude of game problems.

PS: It's always helpful when posting a technical problem like this to post your system specs - it helps people out when trying to troubleshoot your problems.

Never heard of that one before. I would start looking for the obvious:

1. Is your game all patched up? Latest patch is 1.12
2. Clear out your override and hak folders, if there is anything in there.

Thanks for the quick replies to kgambit & epirote!! Nwn2 has been running excellent all the way through for me until this point. I use no cheats or hacks, or play online. My system was built to run games but here's my basic specs:
Intel duo core 4400, 2.00 ghz 1 gig ram, nvidia 8800 gts video, windows xp.
All I use that cpu for is gaming. I have back loaded from the castle defense area where the castle is fully upgraded, all aliances formed, have killed 3 reavers ( I believe ) the last encounter was when callum died. One event I haven't encountered was finding Ammon Jerro after he "disappears" . I AM able to use him at the world map to join group but havent fought the demon with him, as I have read posted elsewhere. I trace my prob to the meeting in the war room and then am forced to go to outskirts alone and then end up in cornfield outside of keep, with nowhere to go. Any other specific questions?? I'd welcome any more input, would like to finish game I think... Thanks

Can someone explain to me the point of the "set" items, like the Mad Gent's stuff? I figured it was more powerful as a set, so I purchased all three overpriced Gram the Mouse armor pieces. Ok, so I have highly expensive, single class only underpowered armor. What's the point of this stuff?

Well, for flavor probably or they had plans to make them more powerful when worn all together but forgot the script or cut it due to time constraints ... You can certainly craft fairly early more decent gear than that ...

Well I figured it out... During one of the last visits with Kana at the keep, my companions killed Bishop on their own. So when I was teleported back to the keep after defeating reavers in outskirts, I was dropped in the farmlands with no further conversation with Bishop... cuz he was dead. Luckily I had an autosave that was made before the murderous act and reloaded. We still killed Bishop, for some reason, but I resurrected him at the World map and kept him alive. That did the trick and was able to finish the game correctly. Thank Crom after all the hours spent getting that far, haha!! Has anyone else had that problem with killing Bishop, why??? Thanks Mithrandir58

I've had this problem once(it actualy stoped me from getting the "wheres AJ..." quest. Happened with qara once or twice as well(not complaining:D ). No idea what caused it though:confused:

Ok here I am ready to do the fight against the druid circle. my character is fighter my usual party at this point is neeska khelgar elanee and zhaieve for healing. of course you get bishop as a freebie for this mission. Who should I add to make this mission easier? its really tough to kill those druids lol. I really like the walkthrough a lot and its obvious a lot of work was placed in creating it, but there is nothing really said about the druid circle and that is a tough fight. (Oh and my character along with everyone else besides neeshka is level 16. anyone got any ideas on how to make this quest work better? I keep dying lol.
thanks

kgambit
06.03.08, 13:47
Try dumping Neeshka and replace her with Sand. With two fighters (you and Khelgar) plus the Freebie Bishop AND Zhjaeve, your party has plenty of tank power. Adding Sand gives you missing magic power.

I think my party consisted of my PC (paladin), Casavir, Khelgar, Bishop (freebies) Elanee, Sand and one more (can't remember) when I fought the circle. VERY tank heavy.

thanks for the help!

Ok I have done in Garius and am ready to open the portal. I get the KOS and beat him down to where the mini KOS appear. Then I try to move my character to the statues to bash them down while my npcs attack the minis. No matter what I do the statues say resist all damage. If I focus first on killing the minis along with my party then try to attack the statues I still get resist all damage. Im level 19. I have everyone except Bishop who stayed out of the fight and Qara who was a traitorous you know what lol. (I should have seen that one coming lol.) I even tried god mode and the minis still caused damage. Either way if I hit the statues first or attack the minis then hit the statues I get resist all damage and everyone dies on me then I end up with like 10 or so minis attacking me at once and die ingloriously lol. Any ideas would be appreciated ty. Oh my character is a fighter with longsword specialty and well over 30 on armor. He has whirlwind as well. If I leave and come back to level up one more level, there is nothing I can really do except go back to attack the crystal heart. Actually while fighting the minis I end up leveling up but since im in the middle of a battle I cant really do anything about it lol.

kgambit
06.05.08, 17:49
This is strictly from memory, but here goes:

The trick is to use one of the ritual of purification properties - web of purity I believe. That slows down the minis enough that you should be able to get through them. I had more trouble with the minis than I did with the final KoS hmself.

Epirote
06.06.08, 00:04
Actually, it's a combination of Web of Purity (Ammon Jerro has it) and Cleansing Nova that helps out a lot here. Ignore the statues for now, except if you want to recharge your special purification powers. You can't destroy them in this phase, only in the next phase. Also, put as many buffs as possible on everybody before the fight, especially stoneskin and greater invisibility.

06.06.08, 12:47
Thanks so much for the help I managed to get the minis beaten down though I learned if someone dies dont use the wand to revive them just keep on bashing minis. The second time I got the giant KOS I got smart and quicksaved after finishing off the minis so I would not have to kill them again. Im trying to bash the statues but even with guard me they all run after the KOS and leave me to bash alone and then of course we all die before it can be finished lol. any ideas and ty so much for all the help this is the first time I have played this game and the first game of this level of complexity I have played. My guy knowing how much I love sci fi fantasy and this style of game got it for us to play and well Im addicted lol. He also picked up the mega set that includes BG 1 and 2 Icewind Dale 1 and 2 and NWN 1 so lots to play after this one lol. Thanks all for helping the newbie

My usual tactic in this round if to be in control of the construct (if I've got it) or Khelgar and leave my char and the others to fight KOS. Unless you char is able to dish out that Kind of Damage (can he/she?) then I suggest you try this to. If you go with Stumpy, dont use the hammer on the statues, just flurry them to rubble. Either way, use the best kind of power attack you can. These two, and some times my chars (using double handers/single handers double handed), can usualy bring down the statues before the KOS has taken out too many of your followers.

Could we get a build on your current char? (fighter right?) might be able to help more if I/we know exactly what he/she can/can't do.

rachmarie
06.06.08, 15:20
Sure
fighter well over 30 on ac inc the fire armor a tower shield plus 2 the gith sword the ring of intellect plus 4 (hes uber intelligent for a fighter lol.) high dexterity high strength high constitution. He has the hill giant belt on too for extra strength and able to carry more lol. feats inc whirlwind blind fight expert tactician all the feats in longsword. regen plus 4 ring . So an intelligent dexterous tank basically lol.

As for the construct, I didnt have any crafting in my character its all in the others so its basically repaired without the extras.

Khelgar is a real powerhouse great armor all the ironfist relics boots rings you name it. Mega tank lol. He had completed all the quests for becoming a monk but currently is still just classified as a fighter. regen plus 1

Neeshka is as high an ac as I could get her 28 I believe she has the night thief dagger that has the electrical damage the 2 handed feat so a dagger plus 3 in her other hand. regen plus 1

As for Ammon Jerro, Elanee Zhaeive and Sand the other npcs I have used on any regular basis, Elanee is the only one who is close to the others in AC tho I have built Zhaeive up to 25 or so. Elanee has several damage spells such as the lightening ones bombardment and so on she has some healing spells some summon creatures as well. Zhaeive also has regen plus 1.

As for the remaining ones, they have the recommended upgrades on the levels Cassavir and Grobnar of course lol. Bishop left during the fight with Garius ( used intimidation) and Qara showed her true colors and I killed her before I killed Garius lol. She was such a quarrelsome creature and though she has some powerful spells when I had to have her she tended not to get a chance to use them since she died early lol. Sand is far more useful in general and he tends to stay alive long enough to actually use his spells.

They all are level 19 ready to level up to 20 but there is not time to do it since im in the last round against the KOS the minute I load the game im in the thick of it lol.

D.0.a
06.07.08, 04:34
Yeah, looks like you need to use the Construct. Go into Imp. power attack and ignore KOS (tell the others to "attack nearest" just to be sure they don't follow you around). This is the tactic that got me through the first time I managed to finish the game, and most times since.

p.s. If you pause the game, you'll have all the time in the world to lvl ^. Hope this all helps.:)

Epirote
06.07.08, 17:10
I usually command Khelgar and the Construct to attack the KoS, while all others attack each of the five statues. Makes the KoS very confused, because the companions attacking the statues brush off in all directions. And remember to use that Rod of Resurrection, if somebody dies and if you still have it, that is ... :rolleyes:

Dr Dr Lurch,

I recently had to reinstall my game and start over from scratch. Since then, I've noticed strange things. Most notably, I don't get the Qara subplot anymore. The first time I left the flagon with her, I got attacked by the two students as expected, but since then, nothing. I've got the keep and I've almost finished act II. I'm concerned that this might have an impact on my finishing the game.

I haven't found a post mentioning a similar problem anywhere I've looked on the net so I'm desperate for an answer at this point.

I'm currently running patch 1.13 version 1409. I installed NWN2 and auto-updated, then installed MOTB and auto-updated with no error messages.

Any Ideas?!

Epirote
08.27.08, 17:26
The recommended update procedure is:


Install NWN2, don't patch yet.
Install MotB
Run Autoupdater to patch the game to the latest.There is a possibility that you don't get the subplot, because you wipe out the academy students and their leader, but this happens usually at the second ambush.

Hello,

I've somehow messed up my game and lost Bishop's dagger. I checked all of the item id databases listed on the website but could not find it. I was wondering if you knew if it went under a different name or knew the id by chance so that I could just use the console?

Thanks for any help.

kgambit
10.29.08, 22:43
I thought we had that under plot items but it's not there. Let me check my back-up files and see if we just forgot to add that to the item list.

If it's not there we will have to dig into the toolset to see if we can find it.
It might not be a spawnable item however.

Edit: I did a quick search in my files, and I don't have an item code listed for it. I did a quick search in the toolset either and there item is there but it doesn't have a code that will allow you to spawn it.

The only way to recover the item is to reload from the last place you had it.

I'm having trouble with the rite of tyr. I entered the temple and talked to the priest. He told me to follow him but then nothing happens. I thought I might have a bit of dust on the disk and cleaned it but still nothing happens. I can get him to move at a snail's pace once in awhile but he gets stuck. Is there a workaround for this? Is it a known problem? Help

I am also having a similar issue as jonefoster. I enter the church, speak to priest. I begin the Rite. I get a visit from the dwarf, as well as the wizard. Then the cut scenes end and I am back to live play with the priest in the main part of the church. When I speak to him again, he asks me if I am ready to begin the Rite. If I choose to proceed, it follows the same cut scenes except this time with no visible dwarf or wizard, only the dialogue. The cutscenes end in the same place back in live play. HELP.

Looks like you guys have been left in the lurch... There's clearly a bug, because my game crashed at exactly that point yesterday, but luckily it went smoothly after a reload.

Some things appear to have been slightly broken by the latest patches - for instance events happening out of sequence (based on myearlier experiences and the walkthrough). All I can suggest is:

1. Patch up to date (but not the 1.22 beta)
2. Make sure you've completed all the rest of the Chapter 1 quests
3. Include in the party Khelgar, Sand/Qara (depending on who has the highest influence) and your main love interest (i.e. who has the highest influence from Neeshka/Elanee if male or Casavir/Bishop if female).
4. Try it again (save just before the vigil so you can try a few times maybe?).

You should get a Khelgar visit just before the vigil, offering to fight in your stead, then in the vigil one from Sand/Qara offering assistance (some potions) and then your "love interest". After that Sir Nevalle comes to fetch you.

I'm at the High Cliff Castle ruins, joined up with Slann, and killed all the zombies. I found the lizardmen in the ruins, and nothing happened. I've been wandering around the ruins waiting for Slann to take me to his leader. From reading the walkthrough I don't think I'm missing anything, but how do I get to the lizard chief? I have the latest patch. Thanks!

I have a serious problem straight after I reforged the silver sword at West Harbour (and Nolaloth's Valley). According to the walkthrough, once I head back to Crossroads Keep ("CK"), Nevalle is supposed to tell me about Callum under attack from Shadow Reavers. Problem is that this doesn't happen.

I have one save after reforging the silver sword and one at Nolaloth's Valley. Reloaded both and it still doesn't trigger. I was thinking of just initiating the whole event myself by running the script to load the map with Callum. Anyone has any idea what is the actual script?

I had the same problem with getting the Casavir event and managed to track down the map script for this but couldn't find one for Callum. Any help you can provide, Dr. Lurch?

Hi,

I'm new here, so I would like to say hello to everyone...

..

HELLO:)

And now to my problem. I'm playing the original campaign for the first time. And up to current point everything was going really great. But now, when I encounter Garius on the second bridge (the quest with blowing up the bridges) after a short cutscene he summons a lot of skeletons and disappear himself. Deaghun cames with help but what I can only do is kill a Dark Clerk (I don't know how it is in English 'cause I'm playing it in Polish, soryy:)) The rest of undead is doing nothing and when I want to click on them onlu the icon for dialogs pops up. What to do?

I tried using Provokation, but i can't even select them as the targets.

I have installed NWN2 + MoB and patched it as far as I'm possible.
