Baldur's Gate Walkthrough

Section: Chapter Four


Table of Contents
Baldur's Gate Books
After defeating the goons in Tazok's tent, you will get some documents in their chest telling you of their plans. You can talk to the person in the black cloak and he will reveal to you the location of Cloakwood forest. Take whatever you can from the room and leave for Cloakwood forest when you are ready.

There is three locations of Cloakwood forest before the reaching the mines which is the end of this chapter.

One subquest worth looking into is when you meet a guy where his brother went to look for the Spider's Bane, which is a really powerful two-handed sword. Use strategy 14 to beat the creature with the exception that you will have to cast the Monster Summoning inside the Cavern. Make sure the characters that are in front carry Antidotes and healing Potions in their quick slots because sometimes the poison will kill you faster than the spider bites.

Upon reaching the mines area, the only way to the mines is through the last house (there are two houses in this area fenced with high wooden logs). You will meet another group of NPCs that has a wizard in it. Use strategy 4 and 11 to beat them.

Here, you will also get the Boots of Speed which should go with any character that doesn't have the Spider's Bane or (in the future) the Ring of Free Action. This is because the Free Action ability will negate the boot's property, but will work on anyone without those items in combination.

Once you get in the mines, you will meet one of the prisoners there and he will ask you for 100 gp to help free the rest of the prisoners. You can trust him. There you will also meet a dwarf who is in for revenge and you can add him to your team if you are in need of another character.

Try to find the best path to get to the lowest level where the evil wizard is located. This is because killing all of the monsters does not help your XP a lot and slows you down since there are too many of them. You are welcomed to try though. Also, there is a temple of Bhaal where you can get some neat potions in the vases in the small shrine.

Once you reach the final level, you meet a really nasty wizard. Use strategy 14 and if you have dispel magic, try to get rid of the wizard's defenses. After killing the wizard, go down another tunnel where you will get some expensive jewelry and some scrolls. There is also the wizard's apprentice and you may do what you want with him (I let him off because I am lawful good, although killing him doesn't change your alignment).

You can exit the level via a passage way that will directly lead up to the first level of the mines. Remember, to have the key at hand and go find the huge valve. There, you will talk to a person next to it and you can flood the mines if you already released the prisoners earlier.
