Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

The Sage's Manse

  • 1 of 11: You'll get this quest right after the boy named Wolf tells you that Aldanon's been wanting to see you about the silver shards.
  • 2 of 11: Travel to Blacklake and approach Aldanon's manse to discover that Marshal Cormick is being held hostage near it by thugs.
  • 3 of 11: Talk them into coming out peacefully to get 500 XP, then go into the manse and start looking around for Aldanon.
  • 4 of 11: Use the usual explore-kill-loot routine to take care of any thugs and treasure you come across.
  • 5 of 11: When you're through on the main floor, find the door leading to the basement in the rooms west of the library. (It's past a locked and trapped door in a room full of tough thugs.)
  • 6 of 11: In the basement, proceed forward slowly, watching for numerous traps. It would help to have your rogue lead the party in Detect Mode.
  • 7 of 11: When you reach the east end of the area, you'll have to fight two "boss" thugs named Old Scab and Naylie.
  • 8 of 11: As soon as all the thugs are dead, a guy named Harcourt will talk to you.
  • 9 of 11: Say you'll send the guards to help Harcourt when you get that dialogue option.
  • 10 of 11: Loot the bodies and treasure chests in the room before using the doors in the SE corner to get back up to the main manse area.
  • 11 of 11: Leave the manse and run over to Castle Never so you can report what you've learned to Lord Nasher.
