Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide Hints
Where is Desert's Fury, and how do I get it?
1 of 18: It's in Al-Rashid's tomb, which is the so-called "catacomb" that's just a short distance north of where you meet Ali.
2 of 18: After clearing out the zombies, look around to see what's left.
3 of 18: The sarcophagus that contains Desert's Fury is locked and unbreakable, so you're going to have to figure out how it's meant to be opened.
4 of 18: Click on the rune pillar at the back of the room for a clue.
5 of 18: Soon after you do, the four gargoyle statues will animate and attack you.
6 of 18: Turn them all into rubble to get a 4X4 grid of pressure plates to appear in the center of the floor.
7 of 18: That and the fact that you can pick up the seven heavy rune stones scattered about the place should clue you in to what type of puzzle this is.
8 of 18: Yes, it's yet another "place items on weight-sensitive pressure pads just so" puzzle. But what could the pattern be for this one?
9 of 18: Look at all the signs in the place.
10 of 18: They all have a big X on them. How could you place rune stones on the 4X4 array to form an X shape?
11 of 18: You need to drop stones on the four corner plates and the four center plates.
12 of 18: To place a rune stone after picking it up, go stand on the pressure plate you want it to be on, bring up your inventory window, right-click on the rune stone, and choose the Drop action.
13 of 18: Repeat until you have all seven rune stones on the grid.
14 of 18: However, you really need eight stones to complete the X pattern. What else could you use?
15 of 18: None of your other inventory items are heavy enough.
16 of 18: But you are! (And so is your henchman.)
17 of 18: Stand on the eighth plate to activate the sarcophagus' unlocking mechanism (and make sure your henchman isn't standing on another plate and ruining the nice X pattern).
18 of 18: Now you can get Desert's Fury from the sarco and use it on all the undead you're going to have to fight during the next two phases of Operation Getwater.
