There’s a slave auction being held nearby so you may want to poke your nose in. There’s a woman called Trist standing on the auction block who tells you that she needs the services of a mercenary. There’s an important NPC called Korur standing just to the right of the western entrance. You need to get the key from the Festhall Clerk, which means you have to join the Sensates.
Before continuing, if you are not xcritically a Sensate, return to Splinter. Ask him about buying something from the Sensate vaults and he will tell you that the service is only available to members. Having spoken to Aelwyn, you’ll know that you were a member in the past and can recall the same experience as the one that you would have used to join.
Ask him again for the legacy and tell him that it might answer questions for both of you. He will fetch the legacy xcriticalg you another 8000XP, Deionarra’s Legacy, Healing Scroll x 2 (restores 33 HP), Heart Charm x 2 and Deionarra’s Wedding Ring. You can let Iannis read the legacy if you want to be nice or tell him that it’s private if you want to be nasty.
If you try to question him further, he will get angry so tell him that you wish to talk about flames and burning for a one-off 1500XP bonus. Head towards the Factor’s Room exit at the back and talk to Nihl Xander who’s standing by the doorway. He needs a costume for a fancy dress party but has been barred from the shop.
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone
Eventually you will get it xcritical reviews open, xcriticalg you 5000XP. It turns out that the Dodecahedron is a journal, but written in an unknown language. Go to the Art and Curio Galleria and use the Gorgon Salve you bought on the statue of Gangroihydon.
The Temple of Elemental Evil
At 5 (two places) you will find the entrances to Undersigil, an optional area with some extra tough monsters. He has angered the tailor and is no longer allowed in the shop. However, he has commissioned a costume for a masquerade and asks you to go into the shop and fetch it for him.
- Listen to the story of the Incident to recover a memory, xcriticalg you 500XP.
- Click the urn to summon him back from the dead and teach you the language of the Uyo.
- Go there and ask Coaxmetal about a wrought-iron birdcage and he will simply give it you.
- When you say goodbye, she will give you a scroll that apparently was meant for you.
The shelf at the bottom right houses Ocean-Before-The-Storm, a former sensate. Ask her about herself and what brought her here. Ask how she got here and elect to hear the whole story to get the hint of a memory and 2000XP. A rubbish second level spell in return for selling a companion into slavery is not just evil, it’s stupid. Note that the rewards are progressive so that you can’t just murder a companion and get the level 9 spell. Just by the way, you won’t be able to cast Power Word, Kill until such time as it makes no difference.
Part 2: The City of Doors
Mazes are like pocket dimensions where creatures who annoy the Lady of Pain are sent (you may already have visited the Player’s Maze yourself). So what you have to do is to find a portal to Ravel’s Maze and the key to open the portal. Act 5 begins when you first enter the Lower Ward and ends when you leave Sigil. It is the longest, most complicated, and least linear part of the game. But don’t worry, you will find other, and perhaps more satisfying, challenges.
Then return to Elobrande to learn that the scroll was given to her mother by someone who was apparently mad (an earlier incarnation of yours). Salabash the Onyx at 7 is a mage who wants to become mage-tutor at the Civic Festhall. If you have already met the cursed performer at 22, you can learn that it was Salabash who cursed him.
Once you learn that he has stolen Marissa’s veil and Vivian’s scent, you can try to take the veil back from him. You can do this with a Dexterity of 16, with a Strength of 16, or by begging and whining for the veil until he relents. The large cupboard in Ecco’s room can be looted for 102 copper pieces.
Finam’s Book
Before he will return Morte (if Morte was abducted) or tell you what you should do, Lothar wants you to visit the Empty Tomb in the Drowned Nations. If xcritical cheating you already did so in Act 3, tell him so for 30,000 XP. Double check that there’s nothing else you want to do before leaving because you won’t be coming back for some time.
Clerk’s Ward
Once you have unfolded the Dodecahedron, you will find that it is a journal in a language you don’t understand. Take it to Finam the Linguist in his home in Clerk’s Ward. Ask him about himself and follow the conversation path until you learn that he disintegrated the former director of the dungeon. Explore the conversation around Modrons to learn about them going rogue. When you do start fighting, use a Corpse Fly or something similar on the Wizard and have Morte tank the High Threat Constructs.
You can examine the “birds” but you can’t grab or touch them without risk of losing your fingers due to the extreme cold. If you have a Frost-Ale Mug, you can catch one in the mug. You can get a Frost-Ale Mug from the Drunken Mage in Clerk’s Ward, or you can buy one at the Curiosity Shoppe. Furthermore, you will learn that there has been a fire here recently and that several old legacies were burned. The arsonist was never caught but you have probably already guessed it was one of your own earlier incarnations. He has the legacy you left for yourself in an earlier life, as well as the legacy Deionarra left for you.
Ask him to remove Reekwind’s curse and threaten to hurt him if he doesn’t (the truth option makes you more Evil, the Bluff option makes you more Chaotic). Instead, he curses you with an incurable bout of the hiccups. Talk to Salabesh outside and ask him to help you. He says that it will have to be removed by the person who placed it on you so ask him to teach you a curse. You can offer to pay him or you can question his abilities. Assuming that you chose the latter option, look skeptical and you will acquire your revenge curse.
Break the stone he shows you and say that you seek training to defend yourself. With 15 Intelligence, you can counter all his arguments for 10,000XP and he will agree to train you as a Fighter in the training chamber. Ignore the next room along for the moment and talk to Vivian who is standing in the hallway. You will learn that a bottle of scent has gone missing. You can offer to help her find it and maybe ask for a reward. She will offer to remove the stench of embalming fluid from your skin in return.
