Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints

Final Task: Killing Aran Linvail

  • 1 of 13: Go to the docks and into the Thieves' Guild.
  • 2 of 13: Kill all the thieves, and then let yourself into the back of the guild through a door on your right.
  • 3 of 13: Kill all the guys in the room, then continue on down.  Kill the torturer and take the key off his body.
  • 4 of 13: Go and open the prison -- Bodhi's ally will give you hints.
  • 5 of 13: Go north, then right along the wooden walkways, then right again into a large room with what looks like abandoned buildings in it.
  • 6 of 13: To the right is the "trapped corridor."
  • 7 of 13: A button at the other end of it will open a door.
  • 8 of 13: Haste someone with a lot of hit points and make them run down and press the button, then run back.
  • 9 of 13: You will be ambushed by some thieves.  Kill them all, then go down the southern passage.
  • 10 of 13: You come out below the walkway leading to Aran's room.  Go in the other door, then go around the corner and right into the room.  Kill Haz and take the key.  Then, retrace all your steps and go down the secret passage on the right in the room where you originally came in.
  • 11 of 13: Go down the LONG corridor, killing anything in there, open the door in the way and confront Aran Linvail.
  • 12 of 13: Kill Aran Lindvale and all the Shadow Thieves.  True Sight is very useful in this fight.
  • 13 of 13: Take all the stuff from him and return to Bodhi.  She sets up a trip to Spellhold with Simon Havarian.  Take it.
