Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

Gem Mines

  • 1 of 9: The mine entrance is marked on the ruins area map, down near the SE corner.
  • 2 of 9: Soon after you enter the mines, a spirit will talk to you and tell you more about the King of Shadows and the Ritual of Purification.
  • 3 of 9: He'll also say that the local statue is within the stone Communion Tree, and you won't be able to get to it until you herd six resident spirits to the tree.
  • 4 of 9: Furthermore, you won't be able to access the spirits until the undead near them are destroyed, and then you have to fiddle with some "ghost lights" to get the spirits to the tree.
  • 5 of 9: After you raid the interactive archive shelves in Balaur's room and ask him for some valuable books, go through the entire gem mine area, killing off all the undead and looting all the treasure that you can find.
  • 6 of 9: When you're done with that, go around and look for spirits.
  • 7 of 9: Check the above map if you need help finding them, then figure out how to guide them to the stone tree.
  • 8 of 9: When you *finally* get all six spirits in place, the statue will appear and give you the Blessing of Communion and the Soothing Light special ability.
  • 9 of 9: NOTE: You access this and other special abilities by right-clicking and holding on your main character or the ground.
