Neverwinter Nights Hints

Cloaktower Membership

  • 1 of 19: This class quest is only available to wizards and sorcerers. Most class quests can be done by other classes if they pass a persuade check, but not this one.
  • 2 of 19: Enter the Cloaktower near the Temple of Tyr and talk to Eltoora Sarptyl about the guild.
  • 3 of 19: When you ask to join, she assigns you the task of retrieving four special items from four special laboratories.
  • 4 of 19: She says each lab is marked by having a sundial outside next to its door. (Also, they're now marked as "wizard lab" on the area maps.)
  • 5 of 19: She gave you the key that opens all of the doors, so go find them and do them in any order. (Note that you'll have to fight an elemental mephit in each lab, so be ready for that.)
  • 6 of 19: Return to Sarptyl in the Cloaktower and have her evaluate you for guild membership.
  • 7 of 19: She'll have you step through a swirly yellow teleporter to a sort of magical arena area.
  • 8 of 19: To defeat the powerful-looking minogon creature, you could face it in standard combat, or you could use the hints Sarptyl gave you to defeat it without any danger to yourself.
  • 9 of 19: Search the whole area. See anything familiar?
  • 10 of 19: How about those stones, that wood pile, that divining pool, and that alchemy table?
  • 11 of 19: Click on all four of those to get four elemental wands.
  • 12 of 19: Go use the wands on the minogon in the proper order to defeat it.
  • 13 of 19: The order is what Sarptyl was hinting at.
  • 14 of 19: She listed the things you retrieved for her in this order: clay, flask of water, puff of fog, kindling wood.
  • 15 of 19: Clay is an earthy substance, water is water, fog is airy, and kindling wood is made for burning.
  • 16 of 19: So use the wands on the minogon in this order: earth, water, air, fire.
  • 17 of 19: To use a wand, set it up on the quickbar, press its corresponding function key, then click on the minogon.
  • 18 of 19: Once it's down, go through the yellow swirlie to return to Sarptyl and report success.
  • 19 of 19: You're in the guild now, and get your very own Many-Starred Cloak. Put it on!
