Neverwinter Nights Hints
Where's the Word of Power in these ruins?
1 of 7: It's in the special vault that's south of the central ruins room.
2 of 7: Before you can open the vault door, you'll need to solve the three magical riddles that keep it locked.
3 of 7: Unfortunately, the riddle areas are all behind locked doors, and the only keys are on the three invincible golems that are stationed near those doors.
4 of 7: Once you've defeated the golems and gotten their keys, you need to figure out how to solve each of the three riddles in order to unlock the vault door.
5 of 7: Be sure to save your game and prepare like crazy before you enter the vault, since you'll have to kill a balor lord in order to get the key to unlock the altar. (+3 weapons are *highly* advised.)
6 of 7: Once the beast is down, get the key from its treasure bag and click on the altar to find the wondrous Word of Power.
7 of 7: As soon as you take it, a "Word Slave" named Haedraline will talk with you a bit and then create a yellow portal that you can use to teleport out of the ruins.
