Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide Hints

How can I defeat Heurodis and win the game?

  • 1 of 12: When you first enter the Chamber of the Mythallar, you'll have a chance to heal up and save your game. Do so, and also use your Portable Door to set up a shadow door nearby. It's handy to already have this set up to retreat to when you get badly hurt in battle later.
  • 2 of 12: Once all that's done, proceed to the center of the area to find Heurodis and talk to her.
  • 3 of 12: No matter what you say, you'll have to fight her, so you might as well get started.
  • 4 of 12: However, as you might have guessed, she's utterly invincible to all of your attacks at first. You need to figure out her gimmick (just like you did with Morag and so many others).
  • 5 of 12: You see all those power conduits arranged in a circle that a bright blue-white light is shooting around in?
  • 6 of 12: That light is the mythallar Heurodis stole from you, and you need to destroy it.
  • 7 of 12: It's hard to bash a power tube right when the mythallar is inside it at first, so try limiting its range of movement.
  • 8 of 12: While doing your best to dodge Heurodis' powerful spells, use arrows or spells to shoot out tubes around the traveling mythallar. Once you get it down to where it only has one or two tubes to jump around in, it should be easy to destroy.
  • 9 of 12: After it's bashed and gone, attack Heurodis directly with all you've got. She's vulnerable now, but she will take quite a beating before going down. (At least she can't turn you into stone anymore. That's some small comfort.)
  • 10 of 12: If you get badly hurt, you can retreat back to the door area out of Heurodis' line of sight and use healing items (I recommend scrolls of Greater Restoration and Potions of Heal if you have them). Also, you can use the shadow door you set up earlier to retreat to your shadow lair and rest there, buy more healing kits from the shadow servant, etc.
  • 11 of 12: When Heurodis dies, the interactive portion of the game is over. Just sit back and watch as your character uses the Portable Door to escape into the shadow realm just before Undrentide crashes to the desert below for the second time.
  • 12 of 12: The cut scene that follows will say something about how even the Harpers don't know what your fate in the shadow realm will be, and that's where it ends. To continue the adventure, get the new Hordes of the Underdark (HoU) expansion pack and play it.
