Neverwinter Nights: ShadowGuard Hints

The Restless Spirit

  • 1 of 16: To get started on this quest, talk to Nelgir at his stand near the south wall of the Market District.
  • 2 of 16: Wait until Kara Dy'nesh steals a gem from Nelgir and makes her getaway, then agree to help Nelgir get rid of the annoying spirit that she summoned up.
  • 3 of 16: He says she's probably staying in the Ravenclaw Tavern, which is just west of his stand, so enter the tavern and look for Kara's room.
  • 4 of 16: You'll find a couple of locked doors in the south central part of the tavern, but you can't lockpick or bash open either one.
  • 5 of 16: Talk to Kara about the bloodstone theft and the persistent spirit at Nelgir's stand.
  • 6 of 16: Have her enter a spirit trance when she volunteers to so that you can speak with the spirit and find out what's up with it.
  • 7 of 16: You'll learn that the spirit is of Nelgir's father, who Nelgir murdered in order to rob him of his gems.
  • 8 of 16: It says that Nelgir must be brought to justice, and it vaguely remembers being killed in a "place of darkness and a terrible stench."
  • 9 of 16: When the spirit leaves Kara, you'll have the option of trying to grab the stolen bloodstone from her while she's weak.
  • 10 of 16: If you do, you can go click on the spirit and use the bloodstone to get rid of it, then talk to Nelgir for your reward. (In order to double it, talk to Nelgir about his father before banishing the spirit.)
  • 11 of 16: If you skip that, you'll need to find the spirit's old body down in the sewers.
  • 12 of 16: Once you've got Malgor's corpse, you've got two options on what to do with it.
  • 13 of 16: The evil way is to go turn it over to Nelgir for 300 gold. (TIP: First talk to him about his father and get him to double his earlier reward offer.)
  • 14 of 16: The good way is to turn the body over to Imperial Officer Ganolin, who's standing around between Sevanna's stall and the gates to the Imperial District.
  • 15 of 16: After Ganolin pays you 200 gold, go talk to the spirit at Nelgir's stall to get it to depart happily and to get Nelgir arrested and taken away.
  • 16 of 16: ADDENDUM: After you finish this quest, you can talk to a guy named Ghasaran near the gates to the Imperial District to find that he's after Kara.
