Neverwinter Nights: ShadowGuard Hints

How can I get myself graduated from the Imperial Academy?

  • 1 of 7: Speak to Imperial Servant Gilles until he leaves to see what's holding up your father.
  • 2 of 7: Then go through Imperial Instructor Jarvis' dialogue until you're asked to render judgement on Yakir the Black's soul.
  • 3 of 7: After sending Yakir's soul to whatever judgement you chose, talk to Jarvis again to get the next phase of the graduation ceremony started.
  • 4 of 7: In it, everyone chooses which Imperial Crest they want.
  • 5 of 7: When you've chosen a crest, you're done graduating, and Jarvis will give you a history book that you can read through by using its "unique power."
  • 6 of 7: He'll also refer you to Markius Albright in the market to get you started on your path to becoming a ShadowGuard.
  • 7 of 7: You can't actually become a ShadowGuard in this module, but you can start impressing the local ShadowGuard members by uncovering evidence of conspiracy and corruption in the city of Ghaarak. See the Signs and Portents hint section for more information on that.
