Guarded Compound & Strange potion at Temple of Helm (spoiler requested)

Post by edguy »

Hello, everyone.

I have got two questions in this post:

1) In the Temple District, there's a building called 'Guarded Compound' (or something like that). Is there any quests connected to that particular building or is it simply a place where you can do a bit of meanie spankin'?

2) Also in the Temple of Helm (in the Temple District) there's an odd potion that has something to do with ogres (?) to be found in one of the back rooms. I suppose that it's part of some quest - which one?

Answers to these questions are greatly appreciated.

Ohh, one more question when I'm already wasting your time :D .

POSSIBLE LIMITED WISH SPOILER!!!

3) Is it possible to get other Limited Wish quests besides 'The Quest for the Gong'? I'm basically thinking that maybe you could get some more "epic" quest if you have more Wisdom?

Thx, all.

1) The guarded compound was a part of a whole big slaver quest or something, that tied in th etwisted rune, but they cut it out and kept the areas.
2) I heard that that is for an ogre or something in the bridge district, but i never cared enough to go and see.
3) Nope, that is the only one.

1) The guarded compound was part of the slaver quest that go cut out in the editing, it relates to the ship in the slums, and (I think) The mindflayers in the sewer. Theres a pretty intense fight there, but you pick up some good armour, potion and, the Celestial fury, best Katana in the game
2) That potion has something to do with a Mazzy Quest, I think.
3)Nope, you only get one quest. Pretty poor if you ask me.

1)I felt I had to add an embelishment. The Katana you get is without a doubt the weapon for someone of a thieving nature. I gave it to my main Character- a Swashbuckler and he is now my best fighter (but the boots of speed help).
Warning:their is a Nishruu inside the compound and if you don't have a patch installed it might destroy some of your magical items!
2)it has nothing to do with the Mazzy quest is all that I know.
3)dito

The guarded compound is a killer area, and one that is quite difficult to do. I always use the boots of speed with prot from evil in first floor, buzz by the trigger point and let the demon take care of nishruu and djinn. kill demon with 2 bolts f glory.

I took down the crew upstairs using chain with abu dahzims...chaos will do at lower levels.

the potion is a duplicate of the mazzy duel subplot. go by the copper coronet with maxxie, and this big ogre will challenge her. go inside and talk to teh ugly and shabby alchemist...why are all alchemists grubby and shabby???

buy potion and convince bubbles to put into ogres ale. have mazzy whack him
They call me Darth...

Muwahahahahhahahha!!!
