Neverwinter Nights: ShadowGuard Hints

How can I escape the slavers' hideout?

  • 1 of 14: When you first come to, you'll be blind and weaponless, but will have to fight a couple of Bloodhawk jerks, anyway.
  • 2 of 14: TIP: Use the TAB key to see where everyone is, then back away so that Markius has to fight both Bloodhawks. Remember that henchmen are unkillable in this module.
  • 3 of 14: After the Bloodhawks are dead, Markius will remove the hood that was blinding you.
  • 4 of 14: Exit your cell and find the chest in the next room that contains your and Markius' weapons and a key.
  • 5 of 14: Equip your weapon and get Markius to equip his, then find the SE door that leads onward.
  • 6 of 14: NOTE: You have to have the key from the chest to open this door.
  • 7 of 14: Move slowly forward, letting Markius charge ahead of you and take the brunt of the attack when you encounter Bloodhawk slavers.
  • 8 of 14: TIP: In the room with several slavers, raid the stew pot and treasure chest after they're all dead.
  • 9 of 14: In the next room, you'll be pulled forward and forced into conversation with Jhordak, the slaver leader.
  • 10 of 14: When the combat begins, immediately run over to the two archers in the back of the room and attack them while Markius takes on Jhordak and the rest of his men.
  • 11 of 14: When it's over, search Jhordak's body to find a key you need plus a Wand of Lightning and a two-bladed sword called Vak'ka.
  • 12 of 14: Open the room's SE door and kill off a few more Bloodhawk guys in the next room before going through its SW door.
  • 13 of 14: You'll find a rope that you can climb to get to the main sewer section, where Markius will talk to you and direct you toward the people you need to help out in the quests called "The Restless Spirit" and "Gambler's Luck."
  • 14 of 14: After he leaves, you can exit the sewers to the Market District and get going on those other two quests if you haven't already done them.
