Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

Lord Tavorick's Shard

  • 1 of 21: Lord Nasher tells you to go straight to Tavorick Manor, so exit the castle and find it on the Blacklake area map (near the east end).
  • 2 of 21: When you arrive, you'll find guys named Guff and Wetherly guarding the front door.
  • 3 of 21: Talk to them and then go inside.
  • 4 of 21: Move west, opening a couple of doors, and you'll come across Lord Tavorick talking to Captain Ballard.
  • 5 of 21: Talk to Ballard, then Tavorick, and then Ballard again and tell him to secure the house.
  • 6 of 21: After the cut-scene is over, have the guards stay at Lord Tavorick's door, then go downstairs after resting and buffing up.
  • 7 of 21: Help Ballard kill off the mephits that appear, then tell him to have the men stay back by the steps and use bows while you attack the two waves of demons that appear next.
  • 8 of 21: When that's over, run back up to the upper floor and help kill the mephits who are in Lord Tavorick's bedchamber.
  • 9 of 21: Talk to Tavorick to get him and Comely Finn to join your group, then rest up before going downstairs and killing a few more demon attackers.
  • 10 of 21: Go through the door in the Great Hall's west wall (after bashing its barricade if it has one), then use the door in the room beyond to enter the crypt.
  • 11 of 21: Fight your way along in the crypt until you come to the chamber where Qaggoth-yeg, the big boss demon, assaults you.
  • 12 of 21: Hold your main character back in the battle long enough to chug buffing potions and kill off some lesser demons before you move in on Qaggoth-yeg.
  • 13 of 21: After the Qag and his pals are all dead, talk to Lord Tavorick to learn that he doesn't really have the shard, but has given it to a girl named Melia.
  • 14 of 21: On the estate's ground floor, find the exit door and bash the barricade in front of it so you can leave.
  • 15 of 21: Stop by the Temple of Lathander and ask Dawnbringer Natrisse to heal you if you need it, then go to the Merchant Quarter and enter the Moonstone Mask, where Melia supposedly went.
  • 16 of 21: When you enter, Ophala will run up and talk to you about the man who's upstairs with his pet demons.
  • 17 of 21: Find the door in the back that leads upstairs, then go up there and start hacking up demons.
  • 18 of 21: Go through the NW closed door to find the area where the demon-summoning mage is standing near Melia's corpse.
  • 19 of 21: When he sees you, he'll summon two Nessian war hounds to fight you.
  • 20 of 21: They have *very* powerful fire breath attacks, so any amount of fire resistance would help a lot.
  • 21 of 21: After they're dead, leave the Moonstone Mask and report in to Nasher in Castle Never.
