Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Hints

How do I use the panels in the control room?

  • 1 of 13: Try clicking on the two smaller panels that are set near the bigger one.
  • 2 of 13: When you do, bright yellow digits will appear in the air overhead.
  • 3 of 13: You can cycle each of the two digits from 0 thru 9 by clicking on the little control panels over and over.
  • 4 of 13: Clicking on the big central panel will only get you zapped unless you input a valid construct number.
  • 5 of 13: This panel is used to deactivate golems. To shut a golem down, you'll need to know its number.
  • 6 of 13: Every golem that has such a number is required by law to shout it out every now and then.
  • 7 of 13: Both the scavenger golem and the guardian golem shout out numbers, but they're in some foreign language.
  • 8 of 13: The scavenger shouts "Sinth Thesti!" and the guardian shouts "Laz Zand!" See if you can find anything that can translate those into regular digits like the control panels use.
  • 9 of 13: The answer is in an old book.
  • 10 of 13: Look on the bookshelves at any of the location 5's on the Upper Ruins Map. There are a couple of copies of a volume called "Lexicon Arcana" that you should find useful.
  • 11 of 13: Using it, you can translate "Sinth Thesti" into 54 and "Laz Zand" into 79.
  • 12 of 13: So set the control panel code to 54 and use the center panel to deactivate the scavenger golem, and do likewise with 79 if you want to deactivate the guardian golem (you could fight it, but you may get more XP for deactivating it).
  • 13 of 13: You'll know it's worked if you don't get zapped, and if the golem you've targeted appears in front of the control panel and dies (and you get XP).
