Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
How do I get the mantle for the feuding families?
1 of 11: Well, first choose which one to help.
2 of 11: I chose the man, but it doesn't really matter at all.
3 of 11: Then go to that person's estate, and get the crypt key from them.
4 of 11: Go up to the graveyard.
5 of 11: Before you can enter the crypt, the mayor will request that you bring him the mantle when you find it.
6 of 11: Then, enter the crypt.
7 of 11: There are a bunch of skeletons and skeleton warriors in here, one of which can cast spells.
8 of 11: The mantle is on the spellcasting skeleton. Take it.
9 of 11: Now you can either bring it to the mayor for 8000 XP +1 rep and 250 gold, or bring it to the nobles.
10 of 11: If you bring it to the nobles, they'll attack each other, and you'll get caught up in it.
11 of 11: The reason to take this second way is that the lord has elven chain mail, which is nice for mages.
