INRODUCTION

Hi, I am Icehound, and after looking at the first Chapter One Sidequest Guide
by s742617000027s1, I was inspired to write one for Chapter Two. And so here
we are. I hope you enjoy this guide, and that it helps get you through 100% of
Chapter Two.




Part 1 -- PORT LAST

Port Last: The Bounty Hunt

Simply talk to Kendrack near the back of the Barracks and offer to help to
start the Bounty Hunt quest, where you will have to hunt down and kill (or
persuade) 5 convicts to acquire their...uh, ears.

--Convict 1: Zor
Zor can be found in the Green Griffon Inn (which is after the North Road),
second floor, first door on the left.

--Convict 2: Stirge
Stirge is hiding out near a hollow tree stump in the Farmlands (after the South
Road) in the upper left hand corner of the map.

--Convict 3: Wyvern
Wyvern is hiding around in the Neverwinter Woods. He will approach you when
you get near him and ask you to help him. Follow him and he will ambush you,
leaving himself open to attack. Finish him and collect his ear.

--Convict 4: Delilah
Delilah is hiding in the Archeologist Barracks on the second floor. Go along
the East Road to find the Barracks.

--Convict 5: Yesgar
The boss convict, Yesgar, is only accessible once you have collected the other
4 convicts' ears. Go back to Kendrack in Port Last and he will tell you that
his daughter has been kidnapped by the brute and he is taking refuge in Port
Last Mines. He will give you the key to the Mines. Go to the North Road and
it is kind of midway up the east side of the map. Fight through the Orcs that
pollute the mines and finally kill Yesgar. Once he is defeated, free
Kendrack's daughter and return home a hero, and finally give Kendrack his
daughter and the 5 ears of the convicts. Mission completed.

North Road: Gerrol's Wife

Just outside the Barracks a young man will tell you of his troubles, or rather
his father's troubles. This isn't really a quest until you talk to his father
in the North Road
Continued on "North Road: Gerrol's Wife."

Port Last: Eltoora and the Tomes of Imaskar

Speak to Eltoora at her lab in the upper right hand corner (North East corner)
of Port Last. She will, if asked, ask you to return 5 important tomes. Here
are the names of the tomes and the locations:

Tome of Life -- As Eltoora mentions, Brother Toras is dead and his final
resting place is the Tomb of the Arcane Brotherhood, just outside the gates to
Luskan along the North Road.

Tome of Fire -- This tome is in the possession of Karlat Jhareg in one of his
libraries in Castle Jhareg in the town of Charwood past the South Road.

Tome of Ice -- As Eltoora suggests, this tome is in a tower: Wanev's Tower,
along the South Road.

Tome of Death -- This tome is also in Charwood in Castle Jhareg. It is in a
chest in Quint Jhareg's quarters.

Tome of Resonance -- This tome is in the personal library of Setara, the witch
living amongst the Neverwinter Woods.

NOTE: All tomes can easily be identified as their bookcases are glowing.

Neverwinter Woods: Spirit of the Woods

To enter the Neverwinter Woods: Spirit of the Woods into your journal from the
start, talk to Ballard, the ranger in Ballard's Grove, right next to Eltoora's
Lab in the Northeastern part of Port Last. Continued in Neverwinter Woods.

The Search For the Cult: Solomon

Sometime or later, a halfling named Solomon will talk to you and present you
with a ring, called Solomon's Ring. Keep it, and Solomon will talk to you a
second time, warning you to stay away from the cult. He will talk to you yet a
third time if you still have the ring, persisting you mind your own business.
After you have spoken to him the 3rd time, venture out onto the North Road,
South Road, or East Road and he, with two of his goons, will attack you. Kill
his goons and then Solomon to collect the Letter to Solomon. Bring it to
Aribeth to complete the mission. This quest does not offer any evidence for
the cult, but deepens the plot a bit.

South Road: Poor Neva

After solving the case with Solomon, go to the Alliance Arms Inn, where you
will be greeted by a woman (if you're a man) named Jaheel, or a man (if you're
a woman) named Tarran. Either way, they ask you to save their little sister
Neva along the South Road and offer you more than gold in return...hmm, wonder
what they're referring to...This quest does not offer any evidence for the
cult, but deepens the plot a bit.
Continued in South Road: Poor Neva

The Search for the Cult: Vardoc's Hunt

After completing the quests The Search for the Cult: Solomon and South Road:
Poor Neva, you will be warned by some villagers that a large man is stalking
you by the name of Vardoc. After you have been warned 3 times by different
people, venture out onto any of the three roads and Vardoc himself will ambush
you alone. He is a Level 10 Rogue who relies heavily on Melee combat so make
sure you are ready for him. Kill him and collect the Letter to Vardoc and
return it to Aribeth to complete the Mission. Now you've gotten one piece of
information for the cult! Just one more!

Port Last: The Werewolf Hunter

Inquire to Neurik in the Temple of Tyr what the problem is and he will tell you
a story of a werewolf known as the Black Wolf who has been stalking Port Last
for some time. A team of fighters, 3 boys lead by Sir Katharis went in to
catch the werewolf, but they have not been seen since. Neurik thinks they are
still alive, but may have succumbed to becoming werewolves themselves. He will
give you 4 Silver Charms, which you must give to the four men (or kill them if
you're evil) to free them from their canine selves, and then track down the
Black Wolf himself. Go speak to Ander in the Drinking House to receive the
locations of the wolves Here are the locations of them all.

--Wolf 1: Urth
Urth is located here in Port Last. Go to the southern farmhouse and ignore his
parents by going upstairs. Urth is right behind the door right in front of
you. Collect Urth's Ring.

--Wolf 2: Geth
Geth can be found in the lower right hand corner of the East Road. Collect
Geth's Ring.

--Wolf 3: Bran
Bran is hiding in a cave in the upper right hand corner of the South Road.
Collect Bran's Ring.

--Wolf 4: Sir Karathis
Sir Kirathis can be found in the Werewolf Den among the Green Griffon Inn Road,
located in the lower right hand corner of the area. Collect The Journal of Sir
Karathis.

--Wolf 5: The Black Wolf (Alhelor)
After returning the three rings of the boys and the journal to Neurik (or
telling him that you killed them), Neurik will tell you to talk to Ander again
for any information. It turns out that Alhelor, the man he was speaking to the
whole time, is the Black Wolf. Warn Ander and exit the Drinking House. Using
your map, locate Alhelor's house and enter it. Kill Alhelor, a level 16
Ranger, to collect Alhelor's Tooth, then return it to Neurik. Mission
completed.

Port Last: The Serpent's Gems

Speak to Elaith in the Alliance Arms Inn and inquire to help him with his
problems. He will tell you of 3 gems that were lost to him and ask you return
them for him. Here are their locations:

--Zamithra's Gem - This gem is located in the Green Griffon Inn. Speak to
Zamithra nicely and lure her up to her room on the second floor and persuade
(or kill) her to get her gem.

--Setara's Ruby - As the name suggests, this gem is located with Setara, the
witch of Neverwinter Woods. Bring her the mirror she wants found in the
Nymph's Home earlier in the woods and she will reward you with her ruby.

--Wanev's Gem - Again, as the name suggests, this gem is being held by Wanev,
the wizard of Wanev's Tower.


Wanev's Cottage/Basement

This isn't a quest, but it does provide you with some treasure. Talk to Elaith
in the Drinking House to get the key to Wanev's Basement. Enter through his
cottage and go into the basement. The entrance to the basement contains a few
low-level skeletons which will drop skeleton knuckles. Collect 2 of them. In
the storage room to the left, you'll find a Fire Beetle Belly, which you will
also need. In the hallway, fight your way through the fray and enter the
library through the first doorway and collect the Slaad Tongue, the final
ingredient you will need. Get through the hallway, and then another hallway,
and make your way to the kitchen. The chest in the corner here contains
Wanev's Cookbook, which will tell you how to open the door to the den. To open
the door, place the skeleton knuckles, fire beetle belly and slaadi tongue on
the brazier. The door should open to the den. Inside the den, you'll find a
boss chest, which contains Wanev's Wardstone, Wanev's Lab Journal, and some
high-class treasure. You'll need the Wardstone if you don't want to kill Lerk,
guarding Wanev's Tower.



Part 2 - THE NORTH ROAD

Gerrol

You may have talked briefly with his desperate son in Port Last, begging you to
help his father Gerrol. Well, here's where you meet him, just barely past the
start of the North Road. Talk to him and offer to help. He will tell you that
an evil Ogre named Dergiab has kidnapped his wife, Leah and needs you to get
her back, while killing Dergiab in the process. This will enter The North
Road: Gerrol's Wife into your Journal.

The North Road: Gerrol's Wife

You'll find Gerrol's wife, Leah, trapped in a Bugbear prison in the Bugbear
caves, just beneath the Goblin/Orc caves. Good characters can free her and
tell Gerrol to complete the mission, where as evil characters can kill her and
collect Leah's Earring as a token of her death for Gerrol.

The North Road: Dergiab's Head

Head deeper still into the caves and beneath the Bugbear caves you will enter
Dergiab's Lair. Confront Dergiab, the big blue ogre and his apprentice, Ganon.
Defeat them and collect at least these items: Dergiab's Head from the carcus
of Dergiab, and Ganon's Journal from a nearby chest. Return the head of
Dergiab to Gerrol to complete this mission.

The Search For the Cult: Ganon's Journal
