Three Questions (Spoilers)

Post by Malakian »

I have three questions to ask here:

1. In the sewers below the Copper Cornet, there is a place where a minotaur named Andorian is fighting some myconids and is killed immediatley. Well I cast Time Stop and saved him but he still just dies even though all the myconids were dead before they hit him. Can sometime tell me the deal with him?

2. At the City Gates I skipped over the conversation and when I went back one of the options of things I could say to the soldier was "I couldn't help hearing you talking about 'black lotus' " or something along those lines. What's black lotus?

3. And finally, what its the adress of the site to download ShadowKeeper from.

Thanks. ;)

Aboot the minotaur, my guess would be that it's an incomplete quest. There are others in the game too.

Black lotus is a deadly poison. If you go through the actual conversation, the thief guy bribes the guard out of searching him by giving him some black lotus.

No idea about SK, as I don't use it.

1) Nothing. I'd say he's just there to show the cruelty of the pits.

2) I though Black Lotus was rather a drug.

3) ShadowKeeper

Life seems short considering how long you will be dead.

I tried to save the minotaur too, but no matter what he just died.

Haven´t heard about the Black Lotus thing? Isn´t it a flower? (thinking of the M:tG card)

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

IIRC, the Black Lotus was mentioned in BG I too, in one of the carnival tents, so I'd agree with Astafas on it being used as a drug...

Anyway, the conversation with the guard at the city gates has no possible interesting consequences, clues, or quest - related content in it. No matter which options you choose.
Where we came from, we don't know
Where we're going.... (even worse)
And about who we could be, we actually have trouble in clearly defining the term "to be" in the first place...

The balcklotus is part of un unfinished quest in BG1 and an unfinished quest in BG2, it's a drug (other word for opium) (I believe theres a TinTin comic about it)

The minotaur is part of an unfinished quest as well, and you alreadu ahve a link to shadowkeeper,
so i hope this awnswers all you're questions
