    [​IMG] I recently started playing bg2 again, after a pause, in which I was playing Torment.
    I was wandering, is it possible to finish the Sir Sareals quest AND upgrade the mase of Disruptoin. This should be possible. I would understand if one of those two is Evil and you could finish only one of them depending on what your allangiment is, but the Sareals quest is for a church, and the mace destroys mainly undead, which are Evil, so both quests are for good ppl. I tried giving him the alloy, but he recognised it, and i blew the quest, although I had a rep of 20 and a charisma of 25 (muliple cast of Friends). How can I keep my illithium to upgrade the mace?

    Just return with the alloy, the temple of helm seems to appreciate more, because it is more rough than illithium and in that way, more represents helm

    [​IMG] I never actually thought of returning the alloy to Helm, not to Sareales. Thanx.

    Update: I just tried it. Who am i supposed to speek to in the temple? The guy that gave me the quest says that i shouldn't return till i've convinsed Sareals to make it.

    oh yeah, thats right, it's the guy that gives the second quest when you normally have given sarles the real illithium. He's near the exit, just say sarles was unreasonable or something

    If you get the real and the fake illithium you need to stash the real ore before going and seeing Sir Sarles otherwise he will take the real ore.When you give him the fake he leaves town so you have completed your quest in that you have prevented him from creating something for another temple. When you go back to the temple the High Priest will say that you did a better job.

    If you play an evil character, you could just give the illthium to Sir Sarles, kill him and take it back off his corpse, then upgrade the mace. Pickpocketing doesn't work - I've tried :(.

    Just give him the fake, he'll recognise it and leave, then go to helm temple and you'll get the helm of glory, second best helm in the game, after baldurans helm. Then go to guy in docks with the real ore and forge the mace, I did it this way and I like it...!

    Indeed, and there's no difference in the reward between giving the real or the fake ilithium ore. So why shouldn't you? The Mace of Disruption +2 is realy a strong weapon for a Ranger or Cleric in a battle against undead (like vampires)

    Punisher ----> here we go again? :p
