Sorry for necroing this but the answers given aren't 100% correct. It is possible to return to the underdark simply by backtracking from the elf camp on down. Yes, you would have to do the complete Ust Natha quest but you can leave the sidequests/Ilithid/Beholders for later.

And how exactly is either method you suggested easier than just insta-killing him and picking up the Nucky, which happens to require a pick pocket skill of 0 and no repeat tries?

Just make sure to keep 10 garnets, they are used in an actual sidequest that unlocks another sidequest as well.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I have since moved on to the Bioware forums after I got no replies here and found the quality of most topics/comments here lacking when compared to the awesome forums on the infinity games. Another thing, it seems the activity isn't that high here either, but perhaps I ...

Oh, I have, Horus.

However, When playing as a mage, I don't bother with putting points into strength, so Intimidation is out. First time I went thru this area as a mage (all other classes can't do ANYTHING here), I had 10 STR, and level 1 coercion/persuade. Not very intimidating. Total fail on the ...

I was un-impressed by the "Best Mage boots in the game".

And I put what you said in spoilers, since it IS a spoiler. And for the Codex, It is from Arl Foreshadow. The Summoning Sciences quest only needs to 3rd set completed to complete, anyways.

Have you seen better boots for a non-Arcane ...

Remember: Deals with Demons NEVER end well, and it was a Deal with a demon that got you in that situation. Just Kill her.

Hmm, this is the second time I've seen you giving bad advice. You might want to try out different strategies/quest outcomes when you play this game as it's rarely that ...

3.3 Creation Spells

Heal 4/5 (If no-one in the party is a Spirit Healer 5/5)
Casting Time: No
Line of Sight: No
Often Resisted: NA
Sheathe Weapons: No
Projectile: No
This is a great spell that you should learn early. The only downside is that it is so badly outclassed by the Spirit Healer's ...

A powergamers guide to Magi

After finishing the game with 4 different characters (of which 3 were mages) on hard I thought I'd contribute to the information on gamebanshee by writing this guide. Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with roleplaying, just creating a mage that can hold it's own on the higher difficulties ...

Four mages, 5 pages. Bah. Leave it. All that really happens is it spawns another random encounter for some fighting.

Same for Summoning Sciences. The Second ritual spawns a Random encounter/Chantry board Quest. The fourth a codex entry for a sucessful pick-pocket. Again, you don't miss anything ...

I have had the same problem after I ran these games on my new computer. It's a video card issue I have a Geforce 8800 I believe. The solution is to run the game in 16 bit color mode and fiddle around with the translucent shadows, sprite mirror and other settings and for me to go to the nvidia ...

Young Ted's Lucky Knucky

Warning SPOILER below!


Something that I haven't seen mentioned in any of walkthroughs I've read is that you can obtain this item easily without having a char with 30-40 pickpocket skill nick it off Deidre's assistant. What you need:
-A party that has 2 or more characters.
-A spellcaster that can ...

Critical Hits

Hi there,
I've been looking through the manuals and searching this forum and the web but I can't seem to find a single piece of info on the threat range and multipliers of the various weapon types. Is there even a difference or are those 3rd edition novelties? For instance, I noticed a Scimitar ...

The only link I can see is with the 'sewer key' area where you find a mind flayer note with a 'the hidden' reference iirc.

I'm pretty sure you can kill them after finishing the underdark anyway, even without mods installed and regardless of siding with them or with Bodhi. Right?

90% of people dont play as evil, and those that do probably already know the armor isnt very good anyway :)

Are you kidding? It gives +20% MR and +4 to saves and is AC 3, making it the best leather armor in the game for sure. And if you have the item upgrade mod installed it's ...
