Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal Hints

How do I find Lazarus' spellbook?

  • 1 of 11: If you ask him, he'll tell you that the only clue he has is a set of small muddy footprints leading off behind his house.
  • 2 of 11: So, leave his house, and go behind it.
  • 3 of 11: There's a kid there named Squid. Talk to him, and offer him 5 gold instead of 1000, and he'll spill the beans.
  • 4 of 11: The man that Squid points you to is in the bar, near the back.
  • 5 of 11: Talk to him, and he'll admit to having the spellbook if you bring up the kid.
  • 6 of 11: He'll tell you that he'll exchange it for a scroll of teleport to try to leave the city.
  • 7 of 11: Go back to Lazarus, and he'll give you the scroll, but he warns you that it would be fatal to use it.
  • 8 of 11: Give it to the man in the bar, and you'll get the spellbook.
  • 9 of 11: Now you can either be nice and tell him it will kill him, or just let him die -- your choice.
  • 10 of 11: Either way, go bring the spellbook back to Lazarus, and you'll be able to buy pretty much any spell scroll in the game, not bad.
  • 11 of 11: You might also want to pick up a ring of fire resistance for augmenting an item later.
