Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Hints

Four Failed Souls

  • 1 of 9: You get this quest in the Headmistress' Tower while on the "Legacy of the Headmistress" quest.
  • 2 of 9: The locked door requires four particular soul containers to be inserted into its odd locking mechanism.
  • 3 of 9: You get one of the four souls you need from each of the four quests listed below.
  • 4 of 9: Once you have all four souls, return to the tower and try the door again.
  • 5 of 9: Insert each of the four souls to get the door open and start a cut-scene.
  • 6 of 9: After Araman leaves, you'll have a chance to talk Master Djafi into joining you in the fight against the other academy instructors. It's easy to do so, and it'll get you some influence points with Safiya. (Besides, you can hang back and let the other instructors kill Djafi before you attack them if you have everyone stand their ground.)
  • 7 of 9: The fight with the instructors is a tough one, and you may need to use the Lyonsbane Ring or the Bestow Life Force feat to resurrect characters that are killed by high-level spells. (Or have everyone equip items that make them immune to death magic before the combat begins.)
  • 8 of 9: Also, Mordenkainen's Disjunction is a good spell to hit them with at the beginning, since it'll remove some of their magical protections.
  • 9 of 9: Finishing the battle will also finish this quest, and return you to the "Legacy of the Headmistress" quest.
