Irenicus' Dungeon

Remove all ads!

At the very begining of the game when getting the Driyads Acorns in the Irenicus Dungeon I found a broken sword on one of the dwarves. Does it have any use? Also on a unrelated note what does the chapel key from the Windspear Hill do?

 

Pretty much any parts of weapons will likely have other parts that you can find later in the game, so hold onto it. I know the pommel gem of the Equalizer is in that trap-filled room just past the Dyrads...but you don't get the rest of the sword parts until late in the game. Also, be sure to hang onto any and all keys until you're sure you've used it....even then, try to keep it with one of your characters just in case.

 

Non magical weapons do break at times. So if the icon is dull grey, you can assume its worthless junk. If there is any color or contrast to it, assume it's a useful item and keep it.

 

I've been lugging around that broken sword, too. I thought it was related to the pommel gem. Is this broken sword worthless? And what about the wooden stakes I've been holding onto forever?

 

When/where do they come in play?

I've been carrying so much shit - broken swords, stakes, letters, notes, gems, broken bows, keys I never know if I've already used or not, blah blah blah - that I'm afraid to store away anything for fear I will suddenly need it.

I can't believe that sword is worthless. Why even put it in the game? Rat bastards!

 

Yeah, I've been storing some stuff in a barrel outside Copper Coronet (shhh - don't tell anyone). I just didn't want to end up stuck at a door in the Underdark or wherever and have to go all the way back to town for a single key, or suddenly find the guy who can repair the sword and have to trek back for it, so I've been lugging around everything, everything that could be possibly useful, dreaming about bags of holding and key rings.

You should see the number of scrolls I have - sheesh! I think I've cast maybe a half-dozen spells from scrolls (I just never think of using them, or potions), so I have two scrollcases full of them and a barrel full of them. Aerie carries almost nothing but scrolls, got magic missiles coming out of her shiny elfin ass. If anyone gets a torch near her, she's going to go up like a paper mache tinderbox.

But this has been helpful, Tal & Black.

Now if you'll excuse, I've got to drop a load at the Coronet.

 

I store my stuff in a container in my stronghold. The barrel is a good idea though.

 

me to, Aerie has two scroll cases and a full inventory of spells and I'm only on the 2nd chapter.

 

There are 3 tables in the waukeen's promenade. I store stuff into the table that is in the middle. I have all the wand keys there.
And here goes a question...
What do you do with the bloody wand keys from Irenicus' Dungeon?!

 

You simply reload a game before exiting the dungeons, go back to the big hall which lead to the smithey, the room with little kid, which would later turn on you and that room with the vampire. Then use the keys to disarm the traps you seem to have jumped over (one trap for every key, if your a looser you will have exess traps if your a cheater you will have exess keys). Each key will succumb to a wonderful transformation.

But beware!!! Some of these items are NOT politically correct and will lead to hot flames from certains participants of this forum if you admit to using them.

 

YES! <flame> YES! Wand of cloudkill is for cheating cowards only! THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY BG IS TO MELEE!!!

 

Aerie with girdle of strength, stoneskin and ghost armour, my dear sorc.

 

Just wondering if anyone else here has read the Raymond E. Feist view of why you don't use mages in combat. For those of you who don't know it is this :- "First mage throws spell, second mage throws counterspell, Third Mage helps First Mage, Fourth Mage helps Second Mage, and then army comes in and chops them all up while they're throwing magic around.

Of course this doesn't really happen in Baldur's Gate but I thought it would be funny.

 

That would work except for one thing.....what about the army???
