Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Hints

Main Quest: Escape from the Hells

  • 1 of 13: This is the quest that you start Chapter 3 with.
  • 2 of 13: You appear in the Reaper's realm, so talk to the Reaper to learn more of what happened.
  • 3 of 13: Apparently, learning the Reaper's True Name is the only way to get out of this hellish place, so have him summon you up some henchmen and get going.
  • 4 of 13: Start by going through the glowing doorway that's at the opposite end of the gatehouse from the five planar doors. This doorway was barred to you before, but now it's the only one that *isn't* barred.
  • 5 of 13: Explore around the City of Lost Souls and talk to everyone you can about the Reaper and who might know his True Name.
  • 6 of 13: If you free Lazy the imp in the quarry area and ask him, he'll refer you to the Sleeping Man in the temple. Speaking to others will get you referred to the sensei in the temple, which is who you speak to there (since the Sleeping Man is indeed asleep).
  • 7 of 13: Go to the temple and talk to Sensei Dharvana about the Sleeping Man to learn more.
  • 8 of 13: Once you're in, you need to get the Sleeping Man to activate an astral doorway so you can get to where his special ring is hidden. There are a couple of ways to accomplish that.
  • 9 of 13: After you get the puzzle ring from the Subterranean Vault, return to the City of Lost Souls and enter the Wastes of Cania.
  • 10 of 13: Make your way through the wastes and the areas following it until you finally reach the Knower of Places.
  • 11 of 13: That, however, is only the first of your Knower goals. After you find out where the Knower of Names is, you'll have to go rescue her so she can tell you the Reaper's True Name.
  • 12 of 13: That'll take you through the Deepest Wastes of Cania and on to the Fortress Courtyard and Windswept Battlefield.
  • 13 of 13: After you learn what you need to know from the Knower of Names at the battlefield, have her teleport you back to the City of Lost Souls so you can use the Reaper's True Name to get him to send you to the big game finale at Waterdeep. See the City of Lost Souls Again and Waterdeep Finale hint section for the final details.
