Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Hints

The Codex of the Doomed

  • 1 of 9: You'll get this quest when you finish "Beyond the Black Gate" in Part 1.
  • 2 of 9: How you start out on this quest will depend on whether you chose to side with the city's defenders or Akachi's old allies.
  • 3 of 9: If you sided with the city, you'll have to kill the dragon Sey'ryu right away. Loot his body for some good heavy armor after he's down, then talk to Araman, who'll join your party and give you the following three quests.
  • 4 of 9: If you sided with Akachi's old allies against the city, you'll have to either kill off the city's defenders or talk them into leaving. If you kill them, don't forget to raid their bodies for some good magic items (including a way-cool +10 dagger) after Zoab talks to you and gives you the following three quests.
  • 5 of 9: TIP: Every time you travel on the City of Judgment's travel map, you'll end up fully rested and able to use all of your spirit feats again. Do so to help you regain lost spirit energy. (Use Suppress right before each time you travel, for instance.)
  • 6 of 9: After you finish whichever of the three sub-quests you do last, a messenger will tell you that the Scrivener has asked to meet with you in the temple at Eternity's End.
  • 7 of 9: Travel back to Eternity's End, then go enter the temple that's in the area's NE corner.
  • 8 of 9: When the Scrivener talks to you, you'll have to agree to his deal if you sided with the city's defenders. Otherwise, you can kill him for a bit of XP.
  • 9 of 9: In the codex room, raid the sarcophagus for magic gear, then click on the big Codex of the Doomed book to finish this quest and get "The Wall of the Faithless."
