Tip on exiting from Underdark

Neutrality · Post by **Neutrality** » Wed Apr 11, 2001 11:32 am

For my first post on this message baord I have a tip thats not really that well known.

I have seen a few posts on this board where people were having trouble finishing the quests needed to get out of the Underdark.
What most people dont know is that they can exit the underdark WITHOUT doing any quests at all. Yup, you read right. Just go to the Kuo-toa dungeon close to the svirfneblin camp and fight your way to the exit. Its as simple as that. I got out of the underdark without even getting the help from Adalon and I didnt set a foot in Ust-nastha.

Thanx for posting this tip, but this is averange knowledge I believe. Most of the players that have completed Underdark and payed the KUA TOA dungeon a visit know this.....

EEhhhmmmm...

I have read a reasonable amount of topics on this board covering how to exit Underdark and its quite obvious that most people dont know that they can just exit through the Kuo-Tao Dungeon without doing any quest in the Underdark first.

Why would you want to leave the Underdark without doing all the quests? You will miss out on a lot of experience,good items and gaming pleasure.

Well I completed most of the Underdark quests the first few times I went through the game. But I really dont like the Underdark because there arent the freedom to make your own choices and instead a lot of quests are forced upon you. Its just not my cup of tea. But if anyone else likes the Underdark more power to them. But personally I will skip it or at best complete only a few of the quest that I think are worthwhile.

Hmm...I know you can exit the underdark without visiting Ust Natha by being transformed into a drow by Adalon then bribing the gate guards...

However, when I tried to just kill the gate guards, the gate was locked and I couldn't get through. So, I think you either need to kill Adalon for her scroll to open the gate or be in drow form to get past these guards without Adalon's help.

You can only be in such form with aid of Adalon. And you're informed about rules, as well as warned...

BTW, you can kill guards at that door any time. Most important there is almost no loot, at least wasn't for me. I cleaned all dungeons before visit to Adalon, even before i got the lightstone, though.

I like to do the Dungeons in the Underdark first before visiting the Drow City. Do them first to level yourself up, and then visit Adalon the silver dragon, who will transform you into a drow. Completing the quests inside the drow city should be a breeze for anyone at this stage in the game. After receiving the eggs, go back to Adalon. Kill the silver dragon, and you will get the blood of a silver dragon (for Flesh Armor +5), and you will get a scroll to exit the underdark. Just go to the Kua-Toa Dungeons and you will be able to leave the underdark.

You can also ask the deamon to bring you to the surface...

I like the underdark because you can do whatever you want with those people in Ust-Natha. Personally I like giving bad replies to the the drow. I love telling the guard at the entrance that I am death hehe.
But back to the topic, when I did what I believe you are saying I also found the door looked. Can you really get out without that scroll or being transformed into a drow?

Weird, but I was never able to get out of the Underdark without doing the Ust-Natha quest or killin Adalon. If I killed the Drow in the Koa-Toa dungeon, the door was just locked and nothing happened.

Hmmm.... strange.

I just killed the drow at the gate and exited without any problem.

Could it be some sort of bug???
