Walkthrough

1
Spellhold Exterior: If you fail to convince Desharik to lock you up, you'll proceed to Spellhold. The path to the Asylum Entrance involves linear progression with battles against Lizard Men and an Air Elemental during the day, or two groups of undead at night.
2
Inside Spellhold: Upon entering, you'll either be given a tour by a "Coordinator" or associate freely with other inmates.
3
Notable NPCs: Speak to Aphril (who sees the multiverse), Dill (who assumes others' forms), Dradeel (who gives recipes), Tiax (who makes threats), Wanev (who gives coded "memos"), Naljier Skal (who conjures jewelry), and Imoen (who is subdued after being "tested").
4
Wanev's Memo: The first memo contains a coded message: "My pantaloons are full of weasels. Inform the queen so that she might shoo them away. Here we go 'round the mulberry bush. Go, monkey, GO!" This is deciphered by subtracting 4 from each letter, wrapping around from A to Z. A second memo may be obtainable with sufficient patience.
5
Irenicus Reveal: After a certain point in the tour or time spent associating, the Coordinator reveals himself as Jon Irenicus.
6
Yoshimo's Betrayal: If Yoshimo is in your party, a further reveal occurs: he has drugged you, leaving you helpless.
7
Dream Sequence: Following another reveal concerning Imoen, Irenicus performs a ritual, transporting you to a dream world. Imoen guides you to "find her within."
8
First Obstacle: A Demon blocks your path. To pass, you must lose a point of Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Dexterity.
9
Finding Imoen: Continue into a place resembling Candlekeep, where Imoen awaits.
10
Facing Bhaal: Imoen instructs you to battle your instincts together. Head west to find Bhaal. Initially, he cannot be harmed and will chase you back to Imoen.
