Neverwinter Nights Hints

How do I get the Word of Power from the Coldwood?

  • 1 of 14: To get a lead on this, talk to the person that Aarin Gend referred you to.
  • 2 of 14: Lillian Cambridge is in the Drinking House, so go talk to her there about the Words of Power.
  • 3 of 14: She'll say that she knows where one is, but won't tell you until you retrieve some old snow globe for her.
  • 4 of 14: She gives you a scroll that can get you into the dungeon where her associate and the globe itself are, so get over there.
  • 5 of 14: Once you're in the dungeon, you need to get the snow globe, and can optionally free Nax.
  • 6 of 14: Once you have the globe, go give it to Lillian to learn that the Word of Power she knows about is actually inside the globe.
  • 7 of 14: When you're through talking to her, head on up to her room (the NW one on the second floor) and click on the pedestal that looks like a divining pool.
  • 8 of 14: Choose to enter the globe, and in you'll go.
  • 9 of 14: Exploring around, you'll find yourself in a small area with constantly-regenerating dwarves and dryads fighting each other (and you, when you get in the way).
  • 10 of 14: You can search around for a friendly face to talk to, but the most useful thing to do is find the cave in the center of the area and explore it.
  • 11 of 14: The white dragon in the cave is responsible for all of this, and it used the Word of Power to accomplish it. You need to "convince" the creature to hand over the Word.
  • 12 of 14: When you take the Word, some hissy person named Haedraline will appear in projection form and say a few syllables.
  • 13 of 14: When she vanishes, she'll leave behind a yellow swirl teleporter that you can take to leave the snow globe.
  • 14 of 14: Go turn that Word of Power in to Aarin Gend to get a big reward.
