Neverwinter Nights: ShadowGuard Hints

What's the straightforward way?

  • 1 of 9: To get the first locked door in the lair open, you'll need the doorman's key.
  • 2 of 9: Right-click on him and choose to attack him, then get the key from his remains.
  • 3 of 9: Past that door, you'll find a path split that goes north and west.
  • 4 of 9: Go north and kill off the two Nightcrawler guys in that room, then head west to find two more.
  • 5 of 9: After they're all dead, loot the treasure chest that's in the west room.
  • 6 of 9: Tarin's cell is also in the west room, but you can't open it until you get the key from Malthar.
  • 7 of 9: Open the gate in the north room that leads to Malthar's area and attack him and his henchmen (or stand near the gate and let them come to you).
  • 8 of 9: After they're all dead, get the key to Tarin's cell and a couple of magical short swords from Malthar's body.
  • 9 of 9: Now you can open Tarin's cell and tell him it's safe to go, then escort him to the rope that leads up to the Market District.
