Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
Korgan: Finding the Book
1 of 15: This is a pretty tough quest, so be sure you're at a decent level before attempting it.
2 of 15: Once in the Graveyard District, go to the crypt to the north.
3 of 15: Enter it, and go to the right. You'll have to deal with a bunch of spiders on the way. You can also find the spider queen here, to the north.
4 of 15: Once you've gone all the way to the right, you'll come to a room with a statue of a woman on the ground, which is trapped.
5 of 15: Walking through the room, you'll trigger a bunch of doors opening, and a bunch of nasty level-draining undead will come out. Dispatch them.
6 of 15: Search this room for a secret door in the lower part and continue through it.
7 of 15: You'll come to a fork. You can go to the right if you want, but there's really nothing critical there, just a tomb that you can open to kill the occupant and get a weapon.
8 of 15: To the south (search for traps!), you'll kill a bunch more undead in a room with a looted coffin.
9 of 15: After you kill them, Korgan will say that the tomb has already been sacked and suggests you find whoever did this.
10 of 15: Now go to the Temple District like he said, and go into the Pilmco Estate.
11 of 15: It has already been looted, but if you go into the bedroom, Korgan will note that it looks like the work of Shagbag, who could be found on the roof of the Copper Coronet.
12 of 15: Go there, and climb the stairs to the roof.
13 of 15: You'll meet Shagbag's party, and a fight will break out.
14 of 15: Kill them, and search Shagbag's corpse to find the book!
15 of 15: Now you can just sell it to any retailer you wish.
