Neverwinter Nights Hints

What Lurks Below

  • 1 of 15: Talk to Jax in the archaeological dig area in the East Road region to get this quest.
  • 2 of 15: He's standing right next to the barracks building.
  • 3 of 15: He'll give you a key to the barracks, and he will tell you to get him a book about the Creator Race's history from the caves.
  • 4 of 15: The first step is to find the entrance to the Creator Ruins.
  • 5 of 15: After going through the door in the SE corner of level 3 of the troll caves, you'll find yourself on level 1 of the Creator Ruins. Unfortunately, the book you want isn't on this level, and the exit to level 2 is locked and guarded.
  • 6 of 15: Level 2 has the same sort of setup.
  • 7 of 15: The level 3 golem is a little different. It attacks you on sight, and it doesn't have the gate's key in its remains.
  • 8 of 15: Once past the level 3 golem's gate, you'll encounter three sorcerers of the Creator Race.
  • 9 of 15: They're fairly powerful spellcasters, but they will go down quickly if you charge them with your best melee weapon(s).
  • 10 of 15: In the final room, there's one more sorcerer. He'll surrender and talk to you a bit after you injure him.
  • 11 of 15: You'll learn that some queen or other sent out a call to them, and that's why they're awake and busy after all these eons of slumber. What do you want to bet this "queen" is the ultimate force behind the evil cult you're after?
  • 12 of 15: After the sorcerer turns hostile again and you kill him, search the room's chests to find several interesting books, including the "Complete History of the Creator Ruins" book that Jax wants.
  • 13 of 15: Also check out that "Dread Queen Morag" volume. Could she still be alive and behind all this? Only time (and Chapter 4) will tell.
  • 14 of 15: When you're through in the ruins, step on the pressure plate in the final room to teleport back to the troll cave storage area.
  • 15 of 15: Go hand over the history book to Jax for a reward (which you may be able to double by threatening to sell it to someone else).
