Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Hints
How else can I get to Gulk'aush, then?
1 of 22: By not killing the elemental, but instead getting the other two Imaskari machines working.
2 of 22: In the elemental room, click on the Imaskari device and choose to take the lever.
3 of 22: Leave that room and then head east.
4 of 22: It can be hard to find in all the dark, twisting corridors, but there's another Imaskari machine room along the south edge of the map, near the center.
5 of 22: This machine's control device already has a lever, but its globe is empty and dead, just like the globe in the NW machine room was.
6 of 22: Take the globe and go east until you reach a room with several mad drow and duergar in it.
7 of 22: There's a fresh corpse in that room, and you should be able to find an air elemental nearby.
8 of 22: After killing off the drow and duergar, use the fresh corpse and then the glowing powder that the air elemental left in order to restore this globe.
9 of 22: Go put it in the machine, then use its lever to activate it.
10 of 22: Use its control device again to get some free essences, then return to the mad duergar room.
11 of 22: Go a bit north and east of it to find the final machine room along the far east edge of the area.
12 of 22: Put the lever you got from the earth elemental room into this machine, then take its empty globe out.
13 of 22: You're going to have to really hunt for a fresh corpse now, since the one in the mad duergar room is the only close one, and it's already been used.
14 of 22: Go all the way back to the earth elemental room and look for a fresh corpse in a winding hallway just to the east of it.
15 of 22: After getting its blood into the globe, return to the mad duergar area and use some of the glowing powder on the floor to fully restore the globe.
16 of 22: Return to the third machine room and put the globe back in, then use the machine's lever to finally get all of the flooded passages drained.
17 of 22: You can now run all around the Skein area to find new combats and lots of great loot on the formerly inaccessible bloated corpses.
18 of 22: When you're done with that, you'll need to use one of the unflooded passages to get to Gulk'aush's room.
19 of 22: Go to the room along the west side of the map that's between the two lower "passage sealed" map pins, then look for stairs leading down into an unflooded passage.
20 of 22: Follow it along until you reach some stairs leading up.
21 of 22: Go up them and turn right (east) to find the open door to Gulk'aush's room.
22 of 22: TIP: There is a trick way to do all of this and kill the huge earth elemental, too.
