Neverwinter Nights Hints

How can I enter the Spirit of the Wood's realm?

  • 1 of 11: Have you talked to the various inhabitants of the Deep Woods and Heart of the Forest areas about the Spirit?
  • 2 of 11: Several of them will mention a druid long ago who somehow managed to enter the Spirit's realm, even though it's supposed to be impossible for any living creature to do.
  • 3 of 11: Your best source of information is the nymph in her home in the Deep Woods area.
  • 4 of 11: After she tries and fails to charm you, she'll give up and help you by telling you how to get to the Spirit of the Wood's realm.
  • 5 of 11: After you're through talking to her, raid the treasure chest next to her fancy fountain to find the ceremonial dagger you'll need to enter the spirit realm, plus an interesting book and a mirror you'll need elsewhere.
  • 6 of 11: Once you have the dagger, you can travel to the Spirit's realm by using the hand-shaped altar that's in the SE corner of the Heart of the Forest.
  • 7 of 11: NOTE: There's a duplicate ceremonial dagger lying on the ground near the altar. It's hard to spot, even using the TAB key, but it's there, and it'll work just as well as the nymph's dagger.
  • 8 of 11: When you click on the altar, you'll be given several options as to what to do.
  • 9 of 11: If you choose to carve your initials into the altar with the dagger, an ancient dire bear will appear nearby. Since there's no limit to how many times you can do this, it can be a gold mine of XP if you can handle the combat. Rangers and druids will really like this if they take advantage of the animal domination gimmick I describe in my Character Development Tips. (Also, if your Animal Empathy skill is high enough, you can build up an ancient dire bear army of your very own!)
  • 10 of 11: When you're ready, click on the altar and choose to plunge the dagger into your chest, like the old druid you heard about did long ago. You'll end up alive and unharmed in the Realm of the Spirit.
  • 11 of 11: NOTE: You can leave the spirit realm before you deal with the Spirit by using the Stone of Recall or the portal near the SE corner of the realm.
