oki101 · Post by **oki101** » Thu Dec 28, 2000 10:41 am

I`m very new to BG2, and wondering about which quest to complete first.:confused

What are the easy ones and which should I wait a while with.
Any help from you guys (and girls) would be much appriciated.

Go to the coronet and do Nalia's quest.
Korgan's is easy too.
After that do the Umar hills.

They're the easiest to find & complete that early in the game.

Nalia even walks up to you - I think its trying to tell you something!

Hey, hey, Umar Hills quest IS NOT easy one. Have you forgotten those about 6 Skeleton Warriors (not very bad, but still), and that Bone Golem WASN'T too easy!!
First you should complete the Skinner Murderer quest, yuo'll get that from Bridge District, then that artist quest which you get somewhere in the Temple District(from fisrt or second temple) (about one average fight), then go to Trademeet, there you'll get about 4 quests, and about 4 reputation!

Btw, you'll get the Trademeet quest from City Gates , and when you are at Trademeet, you should get the rest quests there

I´m not sure if this is so helpful, but this is what I did. I went to the Copper Coronet and did the "backrooms" quest, the slavers quest and of course solved the riddle. Then I killed the slavers, did Nalia´s quest and the little quests mentioned in the message above. Then I wnt to Windspear Hills and Trademeet.

You're right, I meant the windspear hills, not the Umar hills.

Windspear is p*ss easy with the shield of reflecting and fire protection.

Calm down! Get a smiley face instead.

Thanx for the help.

I think I`ll try Nalia first and then follow Seritani advice.

Oh yes, I forgot the Slaver quest! That's easy, but u should go to the slaver ship from the front door, NOT from the Sewers!
Nalia's castle is not so easy, do attleast first the Skinner Murderer and/or the Slaver quest/s! =)
Sorry for posting my last message twice..

That's the one weasel. It's pretty useful because

You get stuck in a gauntlet with elite/marksmen orcs with flame arrows - just reflect them back!

Protection from fire/cold helps you kill those genie gurdians too. Dead easy for even inexperienced parties.

Don't forget every action you take is based on the roll of dice. I always try to pick a lock 5 times.If that doesn't work ,cast a luck spell or drink a potion.

I always like to go after the stronghold quest for your main pretty early on.

Slaver, Nalia's, then Trademeet are a pretty good order. Won't be easy, but certainly do-able, and great exp. and money.

I don't know why you guys recommending those things. But i think the circus tent quest on Copper Coronet if very easy to start. It the quest finding a boys mother and comes with helping Aerie to get her form back to normal and then slaying the illusionist to make things back to normal on the circus tent.

You can also do some small quests like Littleman (ghost boy's teddybear, in the graveyard) and the fallen paladins (you get it in the hall of the radiant heart). Those include very little fighting and will give you some experience.
Also, Mekraths lair isn't too difficult, but don't go into that portal yet.

Sorry, but the Circus Tent is in Waukeen's Promenade. And why I didn't recomment that quest? Because I thought that u do that first, automaticly!

But the Fallen Paladin's fight isn't easy!
