Finding the Construct
Spoiler


Hello, all

I've been snooping around the forums and going through various walkthroughs, but can't seem to find a straight answer to my question:

While going through the Githyanki Base, back at the end of Act I, I found the Construct and agreed to take it with me once I've saved Shandra. After defeating Zeeaire, I didn't go back for the Construct but talked to Shandra and returned to the Flagon right away. I'm halfway through Act II now, but haven't reached Crossroad Keep yet. When I do get there, am I going to find the Construct or should I have picked him up after defeating Zeeaire? If the latter is the case, is there any way for me to get the Construct now, or is the only solution to reload and replay the Githyanki Base?

Thank you for your time; any help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you don't run into any real bugs, everyone/thing you find and invite back to your keep should appear there. Just look around for 'em - Certain Npc's might not appear till later on in the game though. (act 3).

G' Luck :)

since we are on the topic of guests at the keep. Don't mind if I go a little off and ask what the spider is for?
In the end, everything will be alright. If it is not alright, it is not the end.

A little tip on that guy your able to get when you attend the ''True Name Meeting''. Unless you intend on having everyone you can get come to your keep, Balboun or w/e his name is seems to only 'hurt' the proggression of rebuilding the keep...just a little something noticed when playing.

(highlight if you 'choose' to see) (minor spoiler)

(I.e) When you ask about him, Kana would say he's usually been off loafing or drinking. If you assign him to recruit, she'll tell you some of your ranks have left since he's been assigned. Or if put out to patrol, I forget what she says but I remember it to be another negative.

There is no need to reload and replay the Githyanki Base. In Act I, even if you did not went to retrieve the Construct after defeating Zeeaire and saved Shandra, you can still obtain it in Act II. You should know that you need at least 3 items (pls correct me if im wrong) to activate the construct. The glowing ink, the tome of Iltkazar and the book-of-something-related to golem.

Whenever you find any of the items to activate the Construct, your journal will be updated, and even if you did not retrieved the Construct, it will appear in the Crossroads Keep's basement.

Contruct bug?

well... i'm reviving a very old thread...

i'm having problem solving the Contruct in CandleKeep..

i hand over everything i got to Grobnar (all the 3 main ingredients) but nothing happen... after i hand over everything to him.. when i start the dialog again i still got the option to give him the ingredients again and again (i understand that i need to handover the items to him 3 times) but its well over 3 times already..

its a bug that solves with the current patch?

hmm maybe its my patch.. i'm still using patch 1.04.... what is the latest update for the Original Campaign (without the MoTB)?

thanks

I don't think I ever used him, and only one game through did I have him constructed.

Neverwinter Nights 2 @ GameBanshee

Of particular note:

"..Simply placing the objects into his inventory won’t work. You’ll need to travel to the Crossroad Keep basement and talk to Grobnar. If the objects are in your inventory, then you’ll transfer them to Grobnar, and Grobnar will activate the Construct."

Of course I think you have stated that you've done this - if so, then it's likely a bug. :(

On the giveitem issue: I believe some giveitem codes are location-specified, and I think Construct parts are one of the cases--you can only use giveitem code to give yourself the construct parts in Act II.

Another tip: occasionally, the sequence is buggy. Always keep the construct parts in YOUR inventory and hand all three parts to Grobnar once after you collected all three, and never give them to him one by one. That should do it.
