My Big Book of (Almost) Everything

Remove all ads!

Well, insdead of all my BG2 knowledge going to waste I have decided to make a kind of guide to BG2:SOA, not a walkthrough, there are hundreds of them but something diffrent, or if not diffrent useful. Any Ideas will be considered (Within reason).

Also could somebody please tell me where you can find the Genie Flask (Efreeti I think) and the ring of Djinni summoning are as I can't seem to find them.

Ohh and Tal yes when its done you can have it to post on here

Perhaps you could tell me how to solve the riddle of the twelve statues. I thought I solved the puzzle, but nothing happened. And where is the Girdle that boosts your str to 21?

 

The genie flask is a pick-pocket item from the Dao Genie standing on the outside of the Genie's Tent in Trademeet. It may be loot on his body I am not sure.

I have never sided with Bodhi and the vampires, but my brother has, I *think* that's where he got the ring of Djinn Summoning, somewhere in that mess where Bodhi sends you to the Shadow Thieve's Guild. Not totally sure on that one.

For the statues in Spellhold, nothing appears to happen if you do it right, but if you look in the chest there is something there for you .

Strength 21 is Frost Giant strength right? Well IIRC you get that one from the demon knights in the Underdark, Chapter 5. Man my memory's getting fuzzy, gotta get back to BG2 !

 

It looks like you need a wlakthrough, I was thinking more along the lines of creatures and maybe treasures, anyway I will answer your questions cause im a nnice guy.

The Girdle that Gives you 21 Strength.
Name: Girdle of Frost Giant Strength
Location: In the Underdark, in the Koa-Toa (Southen I think) tunnels. There is a big staute and it says a sacrifice will wake my children, or something simlar. Just summon an animal onto the little dish in frount of it then (try to) kill the 5 Death Knights that appear. It is on the lead Knight.

And the Statue Puzzel is quite easy. Im asuming its the one with the items as you don;t mention the flamestrikes of the other one.

How about something similar to what (gah, I forget who, I'm very, very sorry) did, pointing out amusing stuff. You could mention who has amusing dialogues with certain non-joinable NPCs, and maybe list the dialogues you get from each NPC combination - nothing specific - maybe give one line for each dialogue, giving the rough idea -like
Haer D'Alis and Jan
"Jan suggests a play"
or give the numbers of funny ones, character-revealing ones etc.
Also, an easter egg list would be appreciated

 

Well I have started on volume oe of the Big Book of (Almost) Everything. Creature Tactics, thanks for the suggestion AteEChoke (I can't remember how to spell it).
