Neverwinter Nights 2 Hints

Reform the Sword

  • 1 of 20: You get this quest when you obtain the silver shard from the first shadow reaver in the "Stop the Shadow Reavers" quest.
  • 2 of 20: Return to the keep and speak to Ammon Jerro in the courtyard.
  • 3 of 20: He'll tell you about a dragon named Nolaloth who might be able to help with the blade's reforging.
  • 4 of 20: He'll mark Nolaloth's Valley on your world map so you can travel there when you're ready.
  • 5 of 20: NOTE: You can now do more at the keep until your keep time is 92%. (See the Keep Tips and Notes.)
  • 6 of 20: In Nolaloth's Valley, find the ore vein just north of the world map transition point, then run along the path leading to the grove with the "Crystal Heart" thing in the center of it, thrashing an elder earth elemental when it appears.
  • 7 of 20: When you approach the huge crystal, two greater water elementals will surface and attack.
  • 8 of 20: After they're dead, see if you can figure out how to use the huge crystal to speak to Nolaloth. (Also, look for an ore vein near the NW corner of the clearing.)
  • 9 of 20: During the course of the conversation, Nolaloth will say that you need to go to the "scar in the earth" spot in West Harbor to reforge the sword.
  • 10 of 20: Now you have to figure out how to get back to West Harbor.
  • 11 of 20: Exit the Guardian Ruins through its south door to reach the extremely shadow-polluted outdoor area.
  • 12 of 20: Move forward until Ward and Webb Mossfeld's shadowy versions talk to you about the sunken bridge.
  • 13 of 20: Follow them to the bridge, then kill them when they turn into hostile shadows.
  • 14 of 20: Now you need to figure out how to get across the water where the bridge used to be.
  • 15 of 20: After you meet Danan Starling and fight some more shadows, head on toward the spot marked "The Scar" on the area map.
  • 16 of 20: Along the way, the shade of Retta Starling will appear near you.
  • 17 of 20: When you arrive at the scar site, a cut-scene will begin in which Zhjaeve helps you recreate the Silver Sword of Gith.
  • 18 of 20: And then a shadow reaver will appear and start a tough combat.
  • 19 of 20: After all the enemies are dead and looted, use the nearby transition point to return to the Guardian Ruins, then use the portal there to return to the Ruins of Arvahn.
  • 20 of 20: You're now finished with this quest, so return to the keep and continue the "Stop the Shadow Reavers" quest.
