Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Hints

Notes and Extras

  • 1 of 3: The cold in this region is worse than ever, so you'd better use whatever Velox berries you've got to make big warm fires at the available campsites.
  • 2 of 3: Just a bit to the east of the frost giant fortress entrance is another large crystal on the ground that you can use to spy on Mephistopheles and get some bonus XP. Note, however, that this crystal is a real rule-breaker, and may teleport you to the Yawning Portal to fight Mephie. If so, you can have fun killing him, then save your game and restore that save in order to get out of the glitch. (Note that doing this has no impact on later events.)
  • 3 of 3: Inside a puzzle-ring-revealed treasure chest in the ice trolls' cave is a belt called the Sash of Searing that will make you 90% immune to fire and raise your saving throws vs. fire by 7. It also allows you to cast many very powerful fire-based spells. However, its drawbacks are that it makes you 90% vulnerable to cold, and it's only usable by chaotic-aligned characters.
