Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
How do I get the "Hand of the Builder"?
1 of 7: Go down the corridor. You will come to a door and a passage.
2 of 7: Beyond the door are a bone golem, 2 skeleton warriors, and a greater mummy -- they do not cast spells.
3 of 7: The Mace of Disruption works on skeleton warriors, and if you are lucky, the greater mummy. The bone golem just needs to receive lots and lots of damage. Keep healing spells and potions flowing -- you'll need them.
4 of 7: Continue down the hallway until you get to a door.
5 of 7: In here is a vampire known as "The Builder" whose hand you need. Use Negative Plane Protection (spell and/or amulet) when fighting him and it won't be too hard.
6 of 7: Once you've killed him, use a stake on his coffin and you acquire his hand. (Take the stake off a kobold or use one from earlier.)
7 of 7: You need to use this hand to open up the statue's head in the starting area of the dungeon.
