Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Hints
How do I get past the lightning barrier that's blocking a doorway?
1 of 14: There are three interactive statues near it. Try working with those.
2 of 14: Do you remember the door in the Undermountain that you opened by rotating statues? Try the same thing here.
3 of 14: When you rotate all of the statues to face the lightning barrier, you hear a noise, but the barrier remains intact. Look around for something else to do.
4 of 14: There's a floor lever a short ways west of the barrier. Maybe it'll activate some hidden power of the statues.
5 of 14: But no! It won't work, either. What else is there that's currently reachable that hasn't been useful yet?
6 of 14: Remember those lava platforms that had two levers instead of just one?
7 of 14: Well, go back out there and try experimenting with the larger, non-teleporting levers.
8 of 14: There are three of them that you need to find and use.
9 of 14: When you use them, they'll start to glow with a magical light.
10 of 14: However, if you just use each one once and then return to the lever near the statues, you'll find that there's more to it.
11 of 14: Try using the large platform levers more than once.
12 of 14: Get them to set their magical color to a significant one.
13 of 14: The lightning barrier is blue, so try that one.
14 of 14: After you get all three of the special levers set to blue, return to the statue area and hit the lever there to remove the lightning barrier at last.
