Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If you visit the Graveyard District at night and have not yet picked a side, Bodhi will meet you. Visit only during the daytime if you wish to avoid this.
  2. 2
    If Edwin is with you, he will mention the Nether Scroll, an artifact located in the Lower Tombs.
  3. 3
    At night, you will find the ghost of Wellyn, a halfling child. He asks for his stuffed bear, Littleman, stolen by his killer.
  4. 4
    Ask Wellyn about the bear; he mentions the Copper Coronet and Llynis. Go to the Copper Coronet, find Llynis in his back room, and speak with him.
  5. 5
    Llynis will give you Littleman the Stuffed Bear. Return it to Wellyn to receive 15500XP and the Best Friends trophy.
  6. 6
    Visiting Wellyn's grave during the day will allow you to meet his parents, earning an additional 5000XP.
  7. 7
    To the right of the entrance is a locked tomb. Examine the concealed door on the left wall; it appears to lead nowhere. Return later with Hexxat to access it. Open the locked sarcophagus inside for a Staff of Curing.
  8. 8
    The tomb to the left of Wellyn's Grave contains two Skeleton Warriors. The locked sarcophagus holds a Potion of Strength.
  9. 9
    Follow the path left of the tomb. Ignore the Lower Tombs entrances for now and continue around. During the day, you will meet Nevin, who asks for your help against his Uncle Lester.
  10. 10
    Uncle Lester is a revenant who is angry about his funeral. You can let him kill Nevin or defeat Lester for 6500XP.
  11. 11
    Enter the door directly ahead to find a tomb with a chest and a trapped sarcophagus. Disarm the trap and unlock the sarcophagus to find a Battle Axe +2. The locked chest contains nothing of note.
  12. 12
    Go to the eastern tier of the tomb you just looted. You will find a Mummy and two Shadow Fiends. The locked sarcophagus contains minor items.
  13. 13
    Proceed up the northern steps to find a freshly dug grave. Interact with it to rescue Tirdir, who was buried alive.
  14. 14
    Tirdir will tell you one of his kidnappers wore red and give you a piece of red cloth. You will earn 6500XP for this rescue.
  15. 15
    Tirdir mentions the gravekeeper, Sethle, was present during his burial. Go right from your current position and speak with Sethle.
  16. 16
    Sethle will initially act innocent but will reveal that the man in red frequents the Bridge District if threatened.
  17. 17
    The tomb Sethle was guarding contains two Mummies and a Skeleton Warrior. The sarcophagus offers only minor loot.
  18. 18
    During the day, you will encounter Kamir, a Paladin mourning his son.
  19. 19
    Return to the graveyard entrance to find Arenthis, a priest of Lathander, with an orphaned child named Risa.
  20. 20
    Suggest to Kamir that he become Risa's guardian. He agrees as a way to atone for his past failures. You will earn 12250XP. Returning to Arenthis and Risa will trigger a scene, granting an additional 3000XP.
  21. 21
    Return to the freshly dug grave and enter the tomb to its left to face the Crypt King. Defeat him for 15000XP and loot the Namarra +2 long sword from his remains. He may cast Horror before dying.
  22. 22
    The locked door next to the Crypt King's tomb can only be opened if you choose to work with the rival guild.
  23. 23
    Return to the Lower Tombs entrances you previously ignored and take the right-hand entrance.
  24. 24
    The Lower Tombs - Level 1
  25. 25
    Consider using a Scroll of Protection From Poison on your front-line characters due to the prevalence of spider-type enemies. The northern section of this map is inaccessible until you select a side in Chapter 3.
  26. 26
    Proceed to the end of the passage to a webbed platform. You will be attacked by a Sword Spider, two Phase Spiders, and smaller spiders.
  27. 27
    Heading north from your starting point may lead to a barred door or Haz, depending on your game progression and choices, at the entrance to Bodhi's Lair.
  28. 28
    Head south and defeat another group of spiders: three small Spiders, a Giant Spider, a Phase Spider, and a Sword Spider.
  29. 29
    The western tunnel leads back to the surface and contains two floor traps. A trapped chest holds a couple of scrolls and a stake. A second trapped and locked container contains gems and a Scroll of Protection From Fire.
  30. 30
    Return to the main area and proceed. Defeat two Sword Spiders and two Ettercaps. If Korgan is present, he will mention that his sought-after item is in the Southern Dungeons.
  31. 31
    Head north to find a Phase Spider, a Sword Spider, and a Wraith Spider blocking the entrance to a large, nest-like structure. Enter this structure.
  32. 32
    You will confront a Drow named Pai'Na. If Viconia is in your party, she may comment on Pai'Na.
  33. 33
    Pai'Na will summon approximately twenty small spiders. Use area-of-effect spells like fireballs to eliminate them, then defeat Pai'Na. Loot her remains for the Black Spider.
