Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide Hints
How can I get around on the messed-up second floor?
1 of 9: If you talk to Dagget Filth on the first floor about the Netheril flying city that transitioned to the shadow plane to avoid crashing, he'll tell you that some of its residents are transitioning parts of the Arcanists' Tower to their realm. That's why there are huge chunks of the second floor missing.
2 of 9: The only way to navigate from one chunk to another is to use a shadow portal.
3 of 9: In order to use a shadow portal to enter the shadow realm, you must have at least one shadow gem in your inventory.
4 of 9: Go around the large starting fragment and kill Shadovar and get their shadow gems until you have several. (You can always get more Shadovar to kill by approaching a shadow portal and waiting.)
5 of 9: Once you're ready, start entering shadow portals and seeing where they lead.
6 of 9: You'll be transporting from the "real" realm to the shadow realm and back again until you can find the real-realm section that has a door leading to the High Arcanist's Chambers.
7 of 9: Check out the map below if you want a bit of help in planning your route. The teleporters are all marked with capital letters, with a matching letter on each half of the map (real-realm on the left, shadow realm on the right).
8 of 9: Studying the map, you'll find that the shortest route is to take teleporters C, D, E, F, G, and H. You can always expand on that route to gain more combat and treasure.
9 of 9: NOTE: Shadovar mages like to cast the Darkness spell on you a lot. Sometimes the game glitches and never removes the darkness effects, even after the spell wears off. If this happens, just save your game and then restore that save to get the lighting back to normal.
