Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

Assault on Crossroad Keep

  • 1 of 14: After the conversation is over, run forward and kill the two Luskan guards who appear at the keep's gates.
  • 2 of 14: Rest up, then use the gates' transition point to get to the courtyard and kill off the larger and more powerful Luskan detachment there.
  • 3 of 14: After you loot the courtyard of remains treasure, head back out to the farms area and use its world map transition point to travel to the Crossroad Keep Escape Tunnel area.
  • 4 of 14: Enter the tunnel and make your way to its east end, watching out for traps and various critters along the way.
  • 5 of 14: Go through the door at the end of the tunnel to find yourself inside Aldanon's holding room in the keep.
  • 6 of 14: After you talk to him and he leaves via the escape tunnel, go through a couple of doors to find some Luskans guarding two Arcane Brothers.
  • 7 of 14: After you kill the Arcane Brothers, the door will be open, and Vale and the rest can enter the keep.
  • 8 of 14: To proceed from there, you'll need to go through the door in the east wall.
  • 9 of 14: That leads to a room with a tough fight involving several powerful shadow priests, so be ready to hack them down quickly.
  • 10 of 14: After you rest up and loot the room (forget about the warded door for now), go through the door that's down some stairs.
  • 11 of 14: In the basement, raid the nearby shelves before you go after the blade golem that's down the hall. It's very tough, so you'd better be ready for it.
  • 12 of 14: Buff up bigtime before you open the door that the blade golem was guarding, since it leads to the ritual chamber, where you'll have to fight two Luskan champions and several Arcane Brothers.
  • 13 of 14: When you succeed, tell Vale that you want to look around so you can loot the bodies before you go. (Be extra sure to loot Black Garius' body and get his silver shard.)
  • 14 of 14: Talk to Vale again when you're ready to move on to Act II, Part 3: Ritual of Purification.
