    I just finished spellhold madhouse and I decided to leave the city by sea, I just need to get the sea gates open etc.. I guess the boat will take me to suldanesselar. Ive found the gesen bow string too, however I left shaft in a container in the slums before I left for spellhold

    My question is, who will forge the bow ? It can be done by my party or I'll have to go to cromwell for this ?

    If I'd have to go to cromwells house, then its no big deal cuz I'd have to go to slums for the shaft anyway..

    But if my party can attach the string to its shaft, then when is the next time I can go to athkatla from suldanesselar ?

    if the answer would have spoilers, then just try to avoid giving away alot of things

    Thanks !

    I just got the strings the other day too. Keep it in your Bag of Holding till you can get back to Cromwell with the shaft as well.

    Minor Item Spoil:

    Don't forget to pickpocket the good fish prince for the Wave head! Or if you are evil kill him for the evil King...

    I don't think you can ever get back to the fish city so if you miss it first time around you're out of luck.

    The boat will not take you to Suldanessellar, I'ts far,far away.

    No, you will, in some time, come back to Athlaka where Cromwell can forge together the bow for you.

    The bow string was in SpellHold.
    Wave head was in Sahuagin (fish city underwater).

    I'm not sure if you can get back to SpellHold later, but I would think the fish city is forever past once you leave. How are you gonna get back down there?

    You cant get back if you already have traveld to Underdark, no chanse. If you really whant to have the Gesen Bow (it isn't that good) then you'll have to reload a saved game, or LOOK EVERYWERE IN YOUR NEXT GAME!

    [Edit]The bowpiece is in Bodhi's maze, second level...

    In the Sahugin City, take the evil option if you're a monk. The rewards are worth it, and you get the wave-shaft too.

    [edit] Did I say "worth it"? I mean of course a *must* :) [edit]

    Everyone is evil in shark city. Just kill them all. Much more fun and much more XP. Not much of a challenge either. Or first do one quest and then just slay any survivor.
