Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

Riverguard Keep

  • 1 of 11: The keep's entrance is marked on the ruins area map, up near the NE corner.
  • 2 of 11: On the keep's top floor, explore and loot your way up to the NW corner, where you'll find a door that leads to the middle floor.
  • 3 of 11: The second level is similar, with many rooms and combats being optional as you make your way to the bottom floor entrance (NE corner).
  • 4 of 11: As you walk east down the hall on level 3, you'll come across an ogre mage named Ghellu.
  • 5 of 11: If you talk nice to him, you can make a deal whereby you kill the orc chief named Uthanck in exchange for Ghellu's help in getting to the statue plus some treasure.
  • 6 of 11: Uthanck is in the orc camp on the surface. If you haven't killed him and his group already, go do so now.
  • 7 of 11: Come back and say you killed Uthanck to get the statue room door opened, plus 2500 gold, the Master's Scepter, and 1500 XP.
  • 8 of 11: If you'd rather kill Ghellu for Uthanck (or just for the fun and XP), you can do that instead.
  • 9 of 11: Of course, killing Ghellu will mean that you'll have to come up with some other way to open the magic door that leads to the statue room.
  • 10 of 11: Once that door is open, go into the room and approach the statue to get the Blessing of Protection and the Shining Shield special ability.
  • 11 of 11: NOTE: You access this and other special abilities by right-clicking and holding on your main character or the ground.
