    Pickpocket the head priest in the Lady's Hall for a wisdom tome. (The temple in the northwest section of BG, the area with the Hall of Wonders.)

    [​IMG] Don't do that. You'll need the priest's book later.

    I know, but you're supposed to give that book to the umberlee people in that quest, though if helped the seabitch you can get the body anyway and keep the book (without killing everyone)

    There are two quest concerning the temple of Umberlee. The first (get the kid's body) is done by paying 2000 gold. The second (removing Lothander's geas) is done by getting the wisdom tome from the Lady's Hall. This is not necessary however, as you can just pickpocket the head priestess for the geas removal scroll.

    this Geas removal scroll your all whining on about. If you were to start BG2 multiplayer and import someone after the beginning with this scroll, could you get yoshimos geas out of him before he died?

    Just some advice for someone going into Candlekeep for the Tomes...You will need a thief with high open locks(greater than 60) to open the crypts for the books.I only say 60 cause thats all my thief had at the time.I was able to open one crypt(wis) with a 23 Str. The strength book I could not open with force.I don't know if knock would work, didn't have a M-U.

    She isn't useless. She get's many locks open and the few locks at wich she fails, ok then you can use knock with your mage....

    Hmm I knew the tome of strength is in the large chair in the "maze" under Candlekeep but is there also a tome of Wisdom?

    About that one in the Temple, you should choose between one higher wisdom and a dead boy and a dead mistress...

    I just did Candlekeep Catacombs - and you CAN force the lock to the crypt with the STR Tome. It took me 25 STR - 23 from the potion and +2 from DUHM.

    [​IMG] When you have the wisdom tome go to the temple of umberlee. Then when she asks for the tome say you don't trust her and demand the geas scroll first. She might turn hostile then, but I can't remember.
