Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

Ironfist Clanhold

  • 1 of 19: Before you can get started on this quest, you'll have to wait until you reach the Old Owl Well area, which only happens when you're pretty far along on either The City Watch Quests or The Shadow Thieves Quests.
  • 2 of 19: After you help kill off the orcs that attack the well, you'll be able to use a world map transition point to travel to the "Dwarven Scouts" area.
  • 3 of 19: Approach the dwarves near the area's entrance and talk to them, being sure to choose dialogue options like "We'll help you out" and "We are with you" to gain influence with Khelgar.
  • 4 of 19: Proceed down the path to reach a group of bugbears and then a dead dwarven scout.
  • 5 of 19: Approach the scout to get a bit of conversation (be careful not to choose an option that loses influence with Khelgar) followed by another bugbear battle.
  • 6 of 19: Keep fighting your way along the path until you reach the spot where Khayar Ironfist is being menaced by bugbears.
  • 7 of 19: After the bugbears are dead, Khayar will talk to you.
  • 8 of 19: When you unlock him so he can go, say that you're honored in order to get an influence point with Khelgar.
  • 9 of 19: When Khelgar talks to you after that, immediately choose the "let's move on" topic so you won't risk losing any influence with him.
  • 10 of 19: Past that, some bugbears ambush you with archers on a nearby ridge. You'll have to run past the main bugbear group to get to where you can get up on the ridge. (Be sure to loot the weapon rack up there when you're done.)
  • 11 of 19: When you reach the cave entrance that leads to the clanhold, rest up after killing off the outdoor guards -- there'll be another fight as soon as you enter.
  • 12 of 19: Fight and loot your way to the clanhold's NE corner room.
  • 13 of 19: In the NE corner room, you'll find a barred gate that's opened by a complex mechanism.
  • 14 of 19: In the large, final room past that is a big battle with a huge bugbear named Grausch and some of his bugbear pals. As with the other huge bugbear guys, go in fully rested and buffed.
  • 15 of 19: After you're finished, loot the area thoroughly, ending with the treasure chest in the SW corner.
  • 16 of 19: When you take the gauntlets from that chest, Khelgar will start talking to you.
  • 17 of 19: After he tells you about the clanhold and the gauntlets, tell him to keep them because they belong to an Ironfist to get a big +4 influence with him.
  • 18 of 19: Then tell him that you're ready to go so you'll be taken directly back to Khulmar, thereby avoiding a long trek on foot.
  • 19 of 19: After you're through talking to Khulmar, go to your inventory to find the Gauntlets of Ironfist and put them on Khelgar. Anyone can wear them, but why not make him an even more powerful fighter and item-carrier? (It's your choice, though.)
