Neverwinter Nights 2 - Ruins of the Past - Game Guide and walkthrough

Ruins of the Past (5/74)

The swamp itself is a simple level where you have to reach the ruins (1). Along the way you’ll find some equipment hidden in a chest (2). When you defeat the lizardfolk guarding the entrance, head down.

Points you should pay a visit in there are: a chest containing an armor (1), a few scrolls (2) and the lizardfolk chapel (3). When you enter the chapel, you’ll be engaged in a conversation with a shaman. You can convince them not to fight in a few ways, depending on your verbal skills. If they all fail, you’ll have to face a large group of enemies. When you’re done either way, take the contents of the chest in the corner of the room and leave this place. Daeghun will tell you that your next assignment will be to go to Neverwinter. And also, that’d be it when it comes to Bevil’s company.

Before you hit the road, talk to everyone in the village asking for help. You’ll get a few useful items. Most of all don’t miss Retta Starling who’ll give you a quest (A Soldier’s Story) that you’ll be able to complete no sooner than Act 2. When you’re ready, head to weeping Willow Inn (11 on West Harbor map).
