Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints
Alliance with Clan Ironfist
1 of 16: To start working on this quest, put Khelgar Ironfist in your party and travel to the Ironfist Stronghold.
2 of 16: After you talk to Khayar, go find Keros in the throne room up in the NE corner of the area.
3 of 16: Keros won't even consider helping you, but a dwarf named Khulmar will talk to you about a possibility when you leave the throne room.
4 of 16: Follow Khulmar to the old Ironfist vault, which is the room just east of the training room.
5 of 16: Talk to Khulmar about the hammer to learn that in order for Khelgar to wield it, he'll need special gauntlets and a special belt.
6 of 16: The gauntlets are free for the taking in the chest next to the hammer's pedestal if you didn't get them earlier in the game, but the belt is in the possession of the fire giants at Mt. Galardrym.
7 of 16: After Khulmar marks that on your map and gives you a Ring of Major Fire Resistance, get the Gauntlets of Ironfist out of the chest if you don't already have them, and have Khelgar put them on.
8 of 16: TIPS: Before you travel to Mount Galardrym, you may want to return to the keep and get at least one person in your group who can cast the Energy Immunity spell. It'll be *very* handy in the upcoming combats. Also, pick up the "Path of the Holy" quest if you can and haven't already. (See the Monastery / Church section of the Keep Tips and Notes.)
9 of 16: Travel to Mount Galardrym and start making your way along the path that leads up the mountain, trashing packs of fire giants and hell hounds along the way.
10 of 16: Once the mountain area is clear of enemies and treasure, you have a choice as to how to proceed in getting the belt you need.
11 of 16: The fire giant king will agree to give it to you if you agree to kill the dragon Tholapsyx for him, and Tholapsyx will agree to help you kill the fire giant king and his cronies.
12 of 16: After you recover the Belt of Ironfist, have Khelgar put it on.
13 of 16: Return to the Ironfist Stronghold's vault and tell Khulmar the good news.
14 of 16: Then talk to Keros in the throne room to get the cut-scene in which Khelgar picks up the hammer, becomes the new clan ruler, and announces that the Ironfist clan will ally with Neverwinter.
15 of 16: He'll also get to keep the hammer and the other two artifacts, making him your most physically powerful henchman by far. Keep him close!
16 of 16: When you return to the keep, you can find Khulmar in the Phoenix Tail Inn, though he won't say anything of use.
