Neverwinter Nights Hints

Spirit of the Wood

  • 1 of 12: Talk to Ballard in his grove at the NE corner of Port Llast to get this quest.
  • 2 of 12: Then visit the Druid Encampment area that's east of the East Road.
  • 3 of 12: Talk to Archdruid Aawill near the tent at the campsite.
  • 4 of 12: He'll tell you about the two main prongs of this quest: rescue three missing druids and heal the Spirit of the Wood.
  • 5 of 12: Both of these quests will take you to the areas to the east, so go talk to Dregin near the locked gate to get him to let you through.
  • 6 of 12: To rescue the three druids, you need to explore three separate areas. (Note that you don't have to do any of this before healing the Spirit of the Wood, which is really the main quest here.)
  • 7 of 12: As for healing the Spirit of the Wood, start by beating up the hostile dryad that attacks you when you enter the Deep Woods. She'll answer a few questions once she's injured enough to surrender.
  • 8 of 12: She'll refer you to the nymph who lives in a house near the NE corner of the area, so enter the house and find the nymph in the NE room.
  • 9 of 12: The nymph can tell you about how to enter the Spirit of the Wood's realm, which is your next major goal.
  • 10 of 12: Once you make it to the Spirit's realm, you need to find the poison antidote and then go cure the Spirit.
  • 11 of 12: After the cured Spirit teleports you back to the Heart of the Forest, make your way west to the Druid Encampment and report success to Aawill to claim your reward.
  • 12 of 12: NOTE: You should refuse the $500 that Aawill offers you in order to get more XP plus a valuable cloak that Alhelor will pay over $3,000 for.
