Left Nalia's keep too early!

Post by jimbo2000 »

I completed Nalia's Keep and she has given me the gold and have forged the flail of ages and then left forgetting to give the Golems a pasting and collect all those exp points. Now I can't get back in ...the secret passage in the north seems to have closed up. Its marked on my map but the entrance has vanished. The guard on the gate won't let me back in either.
Is there not a way to get back in?? Can anyone help.

I hate to say this, but I think that you're SOL. If the keep is not your stronghold, chances are that you won't be getting back in. If you want to beat up golems, you'll find some more in the Planar Sphere.

How do I know if the keep is my stronghold?

As soon as you left the keep she would have offered it to you provided you selected the right responces. What class are you?

I'm a Paladin. What weapons did I miss out on in the golem room - can I buy them elsewhere?

A few (3) weapons (right now I can only remeber the "elven court" a +3 longbow).
P.S. one of the fail heads in one of those niches, do you found it?
- Waterdeep city constrution.

- Shadowdale low level adventure module.

- Rashmare /Thay high level adventure module.

Just use the teleport command Ctrl+J to get over the wall. You have to add in Debug Mode=1 into the baldur.ini file first. I don't like cheating but that command saved me a lot of frustration when things got stuck or I could prosseed any farther (like when i killed saemon harvarian after defeating irenicus the first time).
When logic and proportion,

And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Yep, you could use Ctrl+J, but IIRC the items in the golem room are gone ,once you have freed the keep.

What about using a CLUAConsole: command to get back into the old keep? It's a different Area number I believe.

I didn't know you could grab the 3rd flail head without angering the golems. I'm going back and trying this cheat - as soon as I make my way out of Spellhold...

There's also a bit of a bug in this quest. The first time I did it, I recruited Nalia to help me out, and I received the 10,000 g. The second time, I decided to leave Nalia behind, and I only received a lousy 650 g (Needless to say, I was seriously miffed). I suspect that this is because Nalia assumes if she's not with you that you haven't lifted a finger to rscue her father since she has not seen that he was already dead when the party arrived. Or maybe, it was just my game??? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
