    I haven't found it yet...But I was wondering...How do you get to the other wilderness points? Are they quests? Or do they come after chapter 2?

    I'm getting ready to go to spellhold, so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything big before I go.

    you can get to the other areas after you emerge from the Underdark. i had a wicked battle in one of those area's, cant remember which one off hand, but i lost Imoen to a backstab. when i say i lost her, the thief landed a critical hit doing 106 points of damage to Imoen. what a bummer that was, well i guess she will never get her soul back.

    The only other thing I can think of is that Team BG is building an add on for BG2, like that Dark Side of the Sword Coast that they came out with over the summer.

    Maybe someone is just customizing their game, and having a little fun with us?

    It was an expansion that was made by this group called TeamBG. They have a BG customization site on the web. They announced it back in the summer.

    I think the address for it is: www.TeamBG.com
    They added some new NPC's, new quests, and a ton of new items...It didn't change the overall plot, it was just an expansion, like Tales of the Sword Coast was.

    Personally, I thought all the added items unbalanced the game quite a bit.

    Since nobody else seem to know this location, we can assume that it's bullshit.

    Well, the screenshot from within the area looks like AR2700. I don't know of a legit way to go there, so you have to cheat..

    If you talk to those stoneheads you get the feeling that this area should have been visited right after spellhold. They are talking about the slayerchange and that you should go after Irenicus.

    It could be an area that wasn't included in the final release of the game.

    The area as such exists. You can go there with
    CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR2700")
    if you want to try it.

    I seriously doubt that there is a legitimate way to get there though. But the area exists Kyrn.

    Personally I don't believe in the world map, only the area itself.

    I know a lot of you thinking i'm bullshitting, but really, what is the point of making up an area and telling people on a message board? It's as if you think I have enough time to do something like that. I don't have any idea how to starting making a map like that for starters, let alone the actual map. All i do know is that I found the area legitimally. Personally I don't really care much about what you think, all I was asking was whether anyone found this area. The fact that no-one else i my mind either meens you are bloody unobservant, or there is something wrong with my game. Even if you go to the area using the cheat, I know that you cant access some portions of the area, but I do know that it is there. It is probably my game, because I played through Irenicus's dungeon on the demo, and when I finally got the game, instead of starting again, I loaded my save game from this demo.

    Well I can tell. it exist.
    I got there via Cheat codes(the ones posted above) and the Slayer can not be killed by the slayer form, you must return to the normal form.
    By the looks of it, its a test area for your character, since you have to turn in to the slayer to talk to the stones.
    But since you cannot kill the slayer in the slayer form, it look a test to control the slayer form.
    I am not sure if there is a way to get there(I had Haer´Dalis in the underdark and to the end, in my first run and THAT never show up)but if it is, is in the Elven City.Perhaps it was not incluided in the final Game, Like the Missing haer´dalis quest or the link to the Twisted rune.

    Sorry if I offended you Wildfire but I still don't think that I can get there legit in my game. The thing with the demo might explain it. Was the area marked running the demo or did pop up later (I'm talking about world map now)?

    I dunno, the demo was right up to the end of Irenicus's dungeon, but I never got out in it, so I don't really know. And it only appeared after I left one of the forested areas that appear after the underdark. I do know that it did cause a few other bugs - All the icons on the world map for Athkatla were generally jumbled around the Athkatla area of the world map, but when I started a new game, they were all where they wer supposed to be. I am as confused as you all are.

    Wazzup, just give me ONE reason why I would waste my time making all those screenshots etc. ?
