4. The temple. Go to the temple and speak Lomylithrar. He suggests you to play some kind of sadistic game. You can agree or kill Lomylithrar. If you agree then you will be deseased. There are five challenges so if you are ready then pull one of the three chains (troll is more tougher then others). I recommend you to use some restoration potions to minimize desease effects. Summoning spells (scrolls) are very useful. After 5 battles Lomylithrar will give you mirror shard and cure potion (drink it).
5. Go to the castle (you must have four mirrors). Battle with Sabal. Speak to fool and prepare to tough battle. You can use mirror shards on pillars to make the battle more easy. Kill Sabal and take the last piece.
Now the mirror artifact is constructed and you can use it against Valsharess (it has another using). Talk to Shaori and get out from this area back to the ship.

**************************************************************

3. The Isle of the Maker

Now its time to travel to the Isle of the Maker

There are dwarves here. Speak to Dahanna to learn more. Now enter the dungeon.
Upper Ruins
There are a lot of golems here. You can find short sword Unmaker on the corpse near entrance (very useful for rogue against constructs). There is a scavenger golem in this area who can ressurect golems so I recommend you to kill golems in the rooms not in the corridor. You can create three useful items against golems. You need to find alchemist apparatus and all necessary ingredients (search for ingredients in this area). Just put them on alchemist table. recipes: magic crystal + blue powder + yellow powder = golem attractor (attracts golems, not so useful) mithral statue + blue powder + blue powder = golem crasher (very useful, don't waste this power on weak golems, use it on tough golems such as golem guardian) golden rod + blue powder + yellow powder = golem binder (slows golems, not so bad)
There is a tough weapon spirit in the north room (beware his disarm skill).
There is a big trap with statue in one of the rooms, just use the lever to disarm trap and take the helm and armor.

Control room puzzle:
This puzzle is secondary. The key is the book Arcane Lexicon and the voice who tells "Sinth thest". The right number is 54. Activate this number and touch the control device. Now the scavenger golem will be destroyed and more XP.
There is a tough guardian golem near north-west exit (use golem binder and golem crasher to weak him). Enter lower ruins.

Lower ruins
Watch the cutscene and fight enemies. There are two golem camps here. Ferron camp to the south and Aghaaz camp to the north. You can agree to help one of them. Ferron is good and Aghaaz is evil. Ferron need power source. You can find power source in the north-east area but you should kill Aghaaz. Then talk to
Ferron and he will agree to help you in your fight with Valsharess. Now you can return to surface or go down to Maker's Sanctum.

The Maker's Sanctum
You don't need to be there but there are some good treasures here. There is also a trap here. The key is quickness. You should shoot all four mirrors with some ranged weapon (bow, crossbow or sling). If the mirror will shine after shooting then you are doing right. After shooting four mirrors the trap will dissappear.
Go south. Talk to keeeper and fight two tough mithril golems. Take golem seals from their corpses. Place this seals into pedestals and open the gates to maker's study.
Speak with Maker (skull lich). Prepare for TOUGH battle. The maker has a very strong spell resistance, damage resistance and a lot of other bonuses. Spell mantle spell or scrolls are very useful against him. My character was level 20 and this battle was very DIFFICULT for me. I've used spell mantle, haste, stonskin, bless, improved invisibility and other different bonuses. Heal potions are very useful here. I've used Enseric the sword (enchanced with a lot of bonuses) against Maker. The Maker has a high AC, attack and damage. My AC was 46 but this doesn't helped me to avoid all his attacks. If you managed to kill him (congratulations!!! (without cheats)) then search his body for golem machine activator. Use it on golem machine to unlock it. There is a controlling amulet here. You can use this machine to construct golem (machine and four pillars). I don't know how to do it so every information will be appreciated.
Then search for treasures and enter the portal.

Speak with Dahanna and bluff/intimidate/persuade or fight dwarves. Now return back to the ship.

***********************************************************
4. Undead allied with Valsharess

Go to the west part of Lith My'athar locations: north tunnels (illithid) south tunnels (undead) west tunnels  (beholders)

Enter south tunnels.
Drearing's  Deep
There is a dwarf Cordigan here. He will tell you about local people and some kind of temple here. There is a gong to the north. Ring the gong and watch the cutscene. Now its time to storm the castle. Assault the front door (bash it) to enter the temple.
Temple: Level 1
There are some cult knights here. The door downside is locked so go upside.
Temple: Level 2
There is an altar here. I don't know what to do with this altar.

Note (by Richard Gaddy): I know what the altar in the temple of    undead on the second floor is for. You need to look around for a black pearl. There are two of them. Equip your main weapon (i think it has to be melee) and click on the altar and use the black pearl and your weapon will be permanently enchanted with drain strength or something like that. (thanks to Richard Gaddy)

Temple: Level 3
Find and fight Sodalis. Take the key from his remains. Now you can unlock the door to the crypt (temple: level 1).
Crypt
Take the rope from the chest and use it on pit. Go to the pit.
Inner Sanctum
There is a monk here who will speak with you. Fight and kill him. Take the energy orb from monk's corpse. To kill  the vampires in the sarcophagus you should use the wooden stakes (just bash the wooden chests to collect it).
In the central hall you'll see the electrical pedestals and three locked doors (east, west and north). Go to the western pedestal and put the energy orb to the pedestal. The western door will be destroyed. Take the orb back from pedestal and go west.
There are some undead and vampire monks here. Kill them all and take another energy orb from the one of the enemies here.
Now return to hall and put two energy ord to the two eastern pedestals. The eastern door will be destroyed. Take the orbs back and go east.
There is a captured Lavoera and some shadow masters here. Talk to Lavoera. Now go north-east and kill enemies here. Find the nullifier rod and the third energy orbs in one of the chests. There are also some drows here with
Valsharess's letter. Now return to Lavoera and use nullifier rod on magic device to free Lavoera.
Now return to the central hall and put three orbs to the last three north pedestals to destroy the last door. Go north and fight Sodalis. Beware his spells. Kill him and enter the north exit.
The Hell of the Sacred One
Watch cutscene. Don't attack the dragon Vixthra because if you kill him then he will be ressurected soon. Run to the north part of the cave and destroy the phylactery (bash it). Now you can fight Vixthra. Kill the dragon and he will die forever. Take his treasures and return to surface.

***********************************************************
5. Beholders allied with Valsharess
Return to the west of Lyth My'athar.
Bridge puzzle.
Read the puzzle and watch the picture in dialog option. This picture is something like this:

******************  *
*  |       * (first row)
*      |     * (second row)
*     |     * (third row)
*            |* (fourth row)
******************  *

You should do something like this by operating the buttons (rows to the left or right):

******************    *
*                   | *
*                   | *
*             | *
*                   | *
******************    *
Then activate the last button to activate the bridge and enter the west cave.
Chasm of the Eye Tyrants
Eldath Ra'sin will appear. Kill him and enter north-west cave.

Beholder Caves
Fight beholders here. There are some kobold slaves here. Find Kobold's leader
Attiz and talk to him. He will tell you about the cave and beholder's tyrant.
There are aslo some drow emmisary in the north-east room. There is a hole to the north and in the central part you will find Beholder's tyrant with a lot of beholder. Kill tyrant and now you can enter the hole (use stone slab from the chest near hole).
Lower tunnels
BEWARE, the magic is nothing here. This mean ALL magic (items, effects, spells, potions etc). Fight some spiders and rest to restore health. There is a secret door (near locked door) which leads to obelisk.
Obelisk puzzle
The solution for this puzzle:
A
A
A

After solving this puzzle the obelisk will be disabled and you can use the magic. Take the obelisk's core. So its time to kill Bebilith monster here.
After clearing this cave return to surface.

***************************************************************
6. Illithid allied with Valsharess

Now enter the north tunnels .
Entrance Cavern
There is a quite village and entrance to Inner ring. Speak to Duergar raider and fight dwarves. Take the helm of shielding from raider's corpse and wear it.
Then enter inner ring without violence.
Zorvak Mur locations: centre: merchants and poison palace north: Illithid chambers south: fighting pits east: slave auction south-east: portal north-east: slave pens

There are some fights between thralls on the fighting pits. You can watch them. Go to the auction and buy female thrall (3000 gold). Now you can free her (order her to go to the rebel camp). You can fight some enemies in the slave pens ot Illithid chambers.
Now, if you are done there then go south-east and talk to venerator. Agree to take off the helm and move to central pod (portal).
Grand Hall
Talk to elder brain. If you have the mirror artifact (from strange island mission) then give the mirror to brain and now the alliance between Illithid and Valsharess is history. Return to Seer.

***************************************************************
7. Big Battle with Valsharess's army
Once you'll reach rebel's camp there will be cutscene about the future battle.
You'll appear with your allies in the fortress location.
You have some time to prepare to battle so command your allies to take a position for battle. Then wait some time until cutscene and prepare for big fight. Then fight, fight, fight until the enemy will flee .
Watch another cutscene. You'll appear near the temple of Lolth. The enemies are going from the docks side. Fight them until another cutscene.
Now you will appear in the throne room with Valsharess herself and the demon who will help you to destroy Valsharess's allies. This is battle face to face.
She is very tough and heals herself, so attack her more aggressively (spell mantle spell is useful here) and use heal potions in critical situation. When she dies the demon will be released and he will kill you and you'll appear in the Realm of the Reaper.

***************************************************************
CHAPTER 3
***************************************************************

1. The City of the Lost Souls

Watch the cutscene and speak to reaper. Now you are dead and can't return to real world. The Reaper wants to help you but you should know his real name in order to return to Waterdeep.
