Exporting to BG2 (and BG2EE) 79
A few reasons to try Cleric/Ranger
*THAC0 and number of attacks per round as Fighter

*Can use Stealth: strike first; explore without being detected!
*Racial Enemy: hit with a THAC0 bonus of +4 vs. your selected racial enemy!
*Can cast good buffing and healing spells, and can cast Animate Dead, while wearing armor!
*Can Charm Animal, such as a Winter Wolf or Bear, which is very useful if the party is at a low level!
*In BG2: can cast Righteous Magic (Level 5 spell): all hits are at maximum damage, and other bonuses
*In BG2: optional/if enabled in EE: can cast Iron Skins (Level 5 spell): immune to melee weapons
*In BG2: optional/if enabled in EE: can cast Creeping Doom (Level 7 spell): interrupts spell casters and affects several opponents
Party remarks
Good/Neutral-alignments only:
*Khalid: an excellent fighter; Jaheira's partner
*Minsc: an excellent fighter; has stealth to do sneak attacks; quite funny; continuity to BG2
*Jaheira: can cast buffing, healing and damage-dealing spells; a good fighter; Khalid's partner; continuity to BG2
*Imoen: can become a very good mage; can dual class to mage at thief level 3; de-trapper, buyer; continuity to BG2
*Dynaheir: very good mage; Minsc's witch; continuity to BG2
bg2mez 2
*Part-time: Ajantis, Kivan only to safely get the core party to Nashkel and the Gnoll Stronghold; optional
*Part-time: Alora (Baldur's Gate west) for pick pocketing only; optional but fun
Other party's played
My first Baldur's Gate party for BG1:

Cleric/Ranger, Khalid, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen and Coran
Notes : This was a very strong party and very fun!
Coran can be reached fairly quickly by following this walkthrough; he'll be Fighter 3/Thief 3, 8126 xp with the
protagonist having only 10-11k xp.
My first Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition party:

Cleric/Ranger, Khalid, Jaheira, Rasaad, Imoen and Neera
Notes: The party easily succeeded but we missed Minsc.
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition and Siege of Dragonspear party:

Cleric/Ranger, Khalid, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen and Coran->Dynaheir
Part-time members: Neera, Rasaad and Dorn for their quests only
Notes: Coran was switched-out for Dynaheir for story continuity upon hearing of the new Siege of Dragonspear add-on.
Coran instead of Dynaheir would probably make for a stronger party in BG1, although Dynaheir can cast area of effect spells
and summon creatures. Using Coran may be a more fun party if you don't mind him being over-powered (DEX 20).
Fighter/Mage party for Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, second play through:
Fighter/Mage, Khalid, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen and Branwen -> Yeslick
Part-time members: Neera, Rasaad and Dorn for their quests only
Notes: The party easily succeeded! Fighter/Mage walkthrough is very similar as below (same as Cleric/Ranger).
Yeslick was reached early with the protagonist having only 21k xp; Yeslick had 27380 xp Fighter 4/Cleric 5.
For role playing purposes, I prefer Cleric/Ranger rather than Fighter/Mage.
Install order, tweaking and mods
*Install Baldur's Gate (BG1) (can buy the DVD's on Amazon.com, or original CD-ROM's from E-bay.com)
*Install Tales of the Sword Coast
*Install Tales of the Sword Coast patch BGTalesUS5512.exe from sorcerers.net/Games/BG/index_misc.php
Optional: do a very brief test play of the game (currently running Windows 8.1 and it has no problem running BG1 vanilla); make a back-up
copy of the installation
*Then install BG1FixPack11.exe from baldurdash.org/BG1/bg1fixes.html
*Optional: BG1 Unfinished Business from pocketplane.net: installed all except for Permanent Corpses; Flaming Fist Mercenary Reinforcements
*Optional: Baldur's Gate Mini Quests and Encounters v13 (BGQE) from Gibberlings3.net: installed all
*Then install bg1tweaks-v5.exe from Gibberlings3.net; these conveniences were installed:

*cosmetic changes such as remove helmets
*max hp on level-up and for all creatures
*100% spell learning and no cap
*ammo stacking to 40 only; no other increased stacking or bags of holding or such
Lastly install the widescreen mod (very optional, 800x600 still looks great!):
*Widescreen mod from gibberlings3.net/widescreen/ Extract to game folder, run SETUP-WIDESCREEN.exe; set to 800x600, yes to saves
*BG1 interface improvement from http://athkatla.cob-bg.pl/viewtopic.php?t=3257 Extract to game folder, run Setup-TWM_GUI.exe
Optional: improved GUI for 1280x720 specifically: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/58704-gui-in-1280-x-720/ Must set Widescreen to
1280x720 before installing the improved GUI for 1280x720
Settings:
Start the game and select Configure:
*Play "middle" difficulty; however, move slider to "hard" after anyone in the party reaches Level 5
*Frame rate: 35 or so (increases game speed); keep at 30 if playing BGT (Trilogy)
*Cache Size 1024MB (max); no need to adjust the Pathfinding nodes; can use way points in BG1 and BG2, if it helps
*32 bit graphics or the game might run very slowly
Start the game and select Options:

*Set Auto-pause for "enemy sighted" "trap found" and "character injured" (and for BG2: "spell cast")
bg2mez 3
Main Character
*Selected Half-Elf, Cleric/Ranger, rolled 97 points in total with 18/90 STR

*Have rolled: 93 points with 18/00 STR, and 96 with 18/00! Have played with 18/66 STR and all went well!
*STR 18/90, DEX 18, CON 18, INT 18, WIS 18, CHA 7; Spiked (flail/morningstar)** Blunt (war hammer)**
*STR 18/00 is not necessary since the STR stat can be raised by 1 point in Chapter 6; game is not tough, anyway
*INT more than 5 is not necessary, but higher (10) is nice to have for surviving Mind Flayers in BG2 and for some Lore
*Select spells to memorize: Remove Fear, Sanctuary and Cure Light Wounds
*Select Racial Enemy: Ogre
*This character becomes very strong; having two proficiency points (pips) only in a weapon skill is actually just fine!
*Starts with THAC0 17 if STR 18/51-99, war hammer or flail/morningstar equipped; +2 to hit/+3-5 damage; 1 attacks/round
*Starts with 13 hp, innate AC of 6, Stealth 35, Lore 21 if WIS and INT 18, 0 xp
*Starting with 90 gold pieces (gp) is enough (have started with up to 180 gp)
Style of play remarks
*This walkthrough enables early joining of most of the good NPC's: Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Ajantis, Viconia, Garrick, Kivan, Branwen,
Minsc, Dynaheir, Xan, Coran, Faldorn, Yeslick and even NPC's found in Baldur's Gate: Alora
The party had only 55k xp in total when reaching Coran; 65k xp total when reaching Yeslick;
The city of Baldur's Gate can be reached shortly thereafter, where Alora and others await to join at a relatively low level
*Focus firstly on getting your party members so you get them at an earlier level and can chose how they advance for more levels
*Focus firstly on getting the best weapons and equipment, and doing the main plot quests; there are a huge amount of xp's in the game!
*Completionist: all maps explored in this walkthrough! All side quests in BG city are done as well!
*Anti-cheese: *No stealing items from merchants

*Good or Neutral aligned companions only (no Happy Patch)
*Do not use the mage spell Improved Invisibility (way overpowered!)
*Recent play through's with the enhanced edition or Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT; currently):
*Do not dual wield weapons (use a weapon and shield) as this is BG1
*Do not use or sell the items added by BGEE or mods
*Do not use the mage spells added by EE: Protection from Fire, Protection from Cold
*Do not use the priest spells added by EE: Doom
*Remember to: *Buff especially with Haste, or use an Oil of Speed, and Draw Upon Holy Might for tough fights
*Remember to use special abilities like Stealth / Hide in Shadows to gather intelligence and get a THAC0 bonus for melee
*[] = could do this but don't: it's not necessary to succeed and either it's evil or pushing the limits of what can be done a little too far IMHO

A few Baldur's Gate beginner tips
Pause: Use the pause key (space bar) often to plan each battle; plan each party member's action and their target
Set Auto-pause for "enemy sighted" "trap found" "character injured" and for BG2: "spell cast"
Hit pause as soon as a party member isn't doing what you want or is in trouble
Combat: Target enemy spell casters, especially mages, first; arrows of fire or acid can disrupt their spell casting;
likewise can Magic Missiles and other spells (Fireball) and weapons (Ashideena, Varscona) that deal elemental damage
Cast spells that summon creatures for tough battles, they will distract the enemy; send them into battle first!
Use Stealth or cast Invisibility or drink a Potion of Invisibility to see what may lie ahead, and then pause to plan the battle
Stealth grants a +4 THAC0 bonus to the first hit
Ranger class can use the special ability "charm animal" on wild animals such as Wolves and Bears (useful while at low levels)
Buffing: See page 26 for some Baldur's Gate buffing tips (Baldur's Gate buffs)
Buff the party with Bless, Chant (Cleric spells) and Haste (Mage spell) or drink an Oil of Speed before going into battle
Buff with "Draw Upon Holy Might" before going into battle (a special ability given in Chapter 6; a Cleric level 2 spell)
Drink a Potion of Hill Giant/Fire Giant Strength to deal more damage; Potion of Heroism is very good as well
Drink a Potion of Agility or Defense to improve AC of Minsc and Khalid
Serious trouble: Gulp a Potion of Invisibility and the enemies will ignore you!
Cast Sanctuary (Cleric spell) which buys you time to heal and buff yourself
Weapon details:Ranged weapons are extremely effective in BG1 (try Coran or Kivan)
Get the very good weapon called "War Hammer +2: Ashideena" early in the game, from south of High Hedge (p. 28)
Get the "Long Sword +2: Varscona" if you want a very good long sword, from Nashkel Mines (p. 23)
Buff vs mind Use Resist Fear/Remove Fear or a Potion of Clarity to avoid being panicked in fear
effects: The Cleric/Druid level 5 spell Chaotic Commands prevents mind control; scrolls can be bought in Temples
Offense is best, though (see next tips)
Fighting spell Elemental damage interrupts enemy spell casting, e.g. Magic Missiles, Wand of Frost, weapons that deal cold/electrical/etc.
casters: damage, and arrows of fire/acid
Use Stealth to sneak-up; first hit in Stealth mode gets a +4 THAC0 bonus
Summon a creature and send them into battle first, becoming the target (cannon fodder) instead of your party
Basic spell Set Auto-pause for "spell cast" (can't in BG1 original so use the space bar instead)
casting: Magic Missiles: very good spell against spell casters and tough melee-fighting enemies; interrupts enemy spell casters
Cast Fireball (mage spell) and at the same time protect a melee fighter or two against fire = simple and effective
Use Protection from Fire and Resist Fire/Cold (Cleric spells), or drink a Potion of Fire Resistance
Rest & save: Rest as often as you like to regain health and spells; there is no penalty at all
Save the game (and keep the save) before travelling to a new area or starting a new dungeon
Save the game before a battle and after a successful battle; same with talking to a new person/NPC
Buying items: Use the Mage spell Friends to raise Charisma early in the game
Buy from merchants with the party member with the highest Charisma as the leader of the party
Reputation 20 and Charisma 20 maximizes the discount for buying items
Healing: If your resistance to Fire (or Electricity) is higher than 100, you will heal when taking elemental damage
E.g. become buffed with Protection from Fire and Resist Fire/Cold, or wear a Ring of Fire Resistance = healing when
fire strikes! Can do the same with Electricity using a Potion of Absorption and the Boots of Insulation
Pathfinding: In narrow hallways and corridors the party formation can be changed to "in-line" and consider to only navigate three
party members at a time (using the " 0 " and " - " key to select the first three and the last three members)
and at times members 2 and 3 have to use a ranged weapon
Waypoints: Can set waypoints to help pathfinding: left-click the first way point, then SHIFT + left-click subsequent waypoints
using the map if necessary to cover large distances
Patience and micro-management are a pre-requisite!

Baldur's Gate Bugs worth noting
Baldur's Gate is being played on Windows 8.1 and Vista laptops. The only bugs encountered so far are for the quests that count the number of
enemies killed!
Several quests that count the number of enemies killed can seem bugged:
The corpse (body) of the enemy must not disappear upon death. To avoid this, the final blow to the enemy cannot be so
fatal that you "destroy" the body. Only if the bodies get counted, e.g. if Drizzt kills all 12 Gnolls but only 6 bodies are on the
ground, then GNOLLSKILLED = 6, which means you cannot finalize the quest.
Save often, consider to use ranged weapons and summon a creature to hit the final blows as melee can sometimes hit so
hard that the body disappears, which means it is not counted as intended.
The following Baldur's Gate quests can have the bug:

- Bjornin and Half-ogres (4 need to be counted as killed)
- Hulrik and Xvarts (8 need to be counted as killed)
- Aldeth Sashenstar and Druids (3 need to be counted as killed)
- Sarhedra and Ogres (3 need to be counted as killed)
- Ardrouine and Worgs (3 need to be counted as killed)
- Wenric and Zombies (20 need to be counted as killed)
- Scar and investigating the Seven Suns (5 Doppelgangers need to be counted as killed)
- Aldeth and Brandilar and discovering infiltrates of the Merchant's League:
5 Doppelgangers on the 1st floor (might be 10 on the 3rd floor in EE)

bg2mez 8
Chapter 1
East of Candlekeep: Imoen joins! Thief level 1, 9 xp, 8 hp, Small Sword*, Bow*, Day 1 *Oil of Speed
THAC0 20/18 (2 attacks per round), INT 17, DEX 18, CHA 16, Hour 7 [*Wand of Magic Missiles
Find Traps skill level 40, Open Locks 25, Pick Pockets 25 (EE version, or BGT, or if
protagonist is single class;
Plan for Imoen: dual class to Mage at Thief level 3. Use Short Bow do not use!)]
as Thief, Sling as Mage. Use her to de-trap; therefore focus on
getting to the Nashkel mines in order to de-trap before she reaches
level 3 (and becomes nerfed upon dual-classing
meaning that her Thieving skills won't be available until her Mage
level becomes one higher than her Thief level, i.e. Mage level 4 at
10,000 xp). Also, use Imoen to buy items as party leader and cast
the mage spell Friends to raise Charisma (CHA)
Set Imoen's script to "Fighter Ranged"
Mid/North: Walk directly north and pick-up loot from Gorion's battle, including
176 gp; the scroll reminds you to get to the Friendly Arm Inn to meet
Jaheira and Khalid
Return directly south or south-east to the safety of the path!
South-east: Talk to Xzar, Xzar and Montaron join! 10 gp given, take their items *Studded Leather
and dismiss them as they are Evil [or keep in party for a short time to -> Imoen AC3
assist in upcoming fight at Friendly Arm Inn] *Oil of Speed
Note: keep the Oil of Speed potions for a tough fight in Chapter 2
Mid-east: Get diamond (worth 500 gp) in tree near east end of path (at *Diamond
coordinates 4448, 1958 - press "x" to see Area and Coordinates)
Overall plan is to: Minimize quests and map exploration until acquiring full party and when better equipped
This walkthrough gets quickly to candidate party members so their level is low upon joining the party
including: Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Ajantis, (Viconia,) Garrick, Kivan, Branwen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Xan,
Coran, Yeslick and NPC's found in Baldur's Gate: Alora
Instigate Chapters 2-4 quickly to get good items and so that Coran, and Yeslick if desired, can join early
Do a little bit of exploring a few maps to get your favorite items
Instigate Chapter 5 quickly to gain entry to Baldur's Gate and get more of the best items!
Plan for phase 1: Save the vast majority of quests and exploring until party is complete
Get party members Jaheira, Khalid and Minsc (optional: Branwen):
Friendly Arm Inn: Jaheira and Khalid
Option: North of Friendly Arm Inn: Ajantis (do nothing else on that map)
South of Friendly: Girdle of Piercing
Beregost: loot, just passing through but do one quest only for now
Option: High Hedge: Kivan (do nothing else on that map)
South of Beregost: Boots of Stealth
North of Nashkel: just passing through
Nashkel: Minsc ; loot
Option: Carnival: Branwen
Carnival: store loot for big sell later
West of Nashkel: optional fighting
North of Gnoll Stronghold: Boots of the North
Gnoll Stronghold: rescue Dynaheir
Sell stuff and buy Necklace of Missiles in Carnival
Clear Nashkel Mines, where Imoen will reach thief level 3 and be dual classed to mage
-> Chapter 3
bg2mez 9
Between maps If you get waylaid by enemies at this early stage (it can happen)
between maps, run or re-load autosave!
Lion's Way: ENCOUNTER Old Man

(South of Get Ring of Protection +1 in medium-sized rock above fork in the *Ring of Protection +1
Friendly Arm road (at coordinates 1004, 1114). Return directly south to the path -> AC-2 (with a shield)
Inn) and follow it east and then north
Memorize 1x Remove Fear (all other level one spell slots Cure Light
Wounds) for upcoming fight with Tarnesh [as a last resort use the
Wand of Magic Missiles added to Imoen in BGEE v1.2, which will
disrupt his spell casting]
Friendly Arm Outside, south: Get Ring of Wizardry from near a pine tree just east of the gate D3:0 *Ring of Wizardry
Inn: close to bottom of the map (2555, 3759), located at the base of the
tree near two rocks
Activate the map to the east by walking to the edge of the map, click
on the travel icon to see the world map, and then cancel
Houses: Loot the two houses (bash the chests) just inside the castle walls;
talk to Joia to get a quest (Q) to find her ring
Save game
Entrance to Inn: ENCOUNTER Tarnesh at entrance to Inn: tough fight, try to get help
from two of the wandering Guards; buff with Remove Fear to assure *Magic Missiles scroll
success or drink Potion of Clarity: fight 120 xp, 58 gp
Inn: Bash the chest near the entrance for 20 gp and storage that will last
the entire game
Loot the west bookcase
Talk to Jaheira, Jaheira and Khalid join! 20 gp given; Jaheira *Potion of Invisibility
Fighter level 1, Druid level 1, 3572 xp, 12 hp, Blunt**, Missile**,
THAC0 19 (1 attacks per round) with Sling or Quarterstaff; STR
15, DEX 14, WIS 14, CHA 15
Plan for Jaheira: use Sling and shield which is good if playing with
Minsc; Club/Quarterstaff as alternate weapon
Khalid Fighter level 1, 42 xp, 13 hp, Large Sword**, Bow*, Axe*,

THAC0 20/19 (1 attacks per round), STR 15, DEX 16, AC1
Plan for Khalid: Long Sword and shield, front-line fighter; Longbow
as alternate weapon
Jaheira advises to go to Nashkel next; Minsc is there (and Branwen)

Save game
2nd floor: Imoen talk to Unshey (east room) (has a minimum CHA
requirement), gives Q (Ogre and girdle)
Loot back containers and the two south rooms only (46 gp, gold ring
worth 20 gp, Potion of Healing)
Note: picking locks, de-trapping and scribing spells are worth 0 xp in

BG1
3rd floor: Loot; get Club from SE container in the back; carefully loot the two *Club
south rooms (onyx ring worth 25 gp) and middle north room (43 gp) -> Jaheira alternate
by bashing if Strength>18/90 (can't in BGT) weapon
Landrin is here with a quest; if you do not have someone with CHA
18 or higher it is better to talk to Landrin later.
bg2mez 10
You can still get the quest items (spider body, wine and boots) in
Beregost south house and then return to Friendly Arm when Imoen
can cast Friends before speaking to him, which nets 6x Antidotes;
finalize the quest thereafter
[Imoen can pick pocket Landrin but it is not necessary]
[Changed in EE 1.3: Imoen talk to her now for the quest and 6x
Antidotes]
Talk to Nobleman for Golden Pantaloons (bring in inventory to end *Golden Pantaloons (can
game battle to import into BG2); store them in chest on main floor import into BG2!)
Main floor: With Imoen as party leader: buy:

- Sling and bullets for Jaheira
- Arrows for Imoen; no need to buy anything else
Sell diamond (500 gp), gems, rings, necklaces; can store stuff in the 1050 gp
chest without losing it for the entire game; bring scrolls along to
accumulate and sell later
Keep all Oil of Speed potions for tough fights
Later, keep potions of Invisibility, Agility, Strength and Heroism as
well for tough fights
Temple of ENCOUNTER Gellana Mirrorshade: buy 1 point of Reputation for REP+1 -> 13
Wisdom: 200 gp which will pay-off later when you begin to buy items; you
could buy an Antidote for 142 gp in case of poisoning but it is not
necessary at this time (no Spider fights for a while)
Imoen can (rarely/carefully) pick pocket (PP) Gellana for a Potion of
Heroism and a nice Elixer of Health!
Note: a 2nd Reputation point is inexpensive to buy in BG1; consider

to buy for 200 gp which will pay-off if following this guide, although
we did not this play through. In BGT this is not an option as one
REP point costs 900 gp
Outside, North- Walk to the NW tight around outside of the wall to fight three
west: Hobgoblins for Joia's ring
Activate the map to the north
Option Option (new!): travel to the next map to the north to pick-up Ajantis
for increased safety. He is a good Paladin with Lay on Hands and
Protection from Evil abilities, currently at level 2
In general that map is made for higher level characters, so normally
we leave it until much later and so Ajantis is normally level 6 when
we meet.
North of Walk slightly to the northwest along the path; this is a map intended
Friendly Arm for higher level parties so stick to the west side of the map only
Inn:
Talk to Ajantis, Ajantis joins! 5 gp given; Ajantis Paladin level 2,
2263 xp, 24 hp, Large Sword**, Bow*, Blunt*, THAC0 17 (1 attacks
per round); STR 17, DEX 13, CON 16, CHA 17
Plan for Ajantis: Bastard Sword and shield, front-line fighter,

escorting us only to Nashkel until meeting Minsc
North-west Loot the two houses in the NW only (59 gp, Sling) and then leave
houses: this map! It is recommended to not attempt any quests here until
later; get back to the main plot quest as Jaheira suggested
bg2mez 11
Friendly Arm House: Talk to Joia to finalize quest for 400 xp and REP +1 REP+1 -> 14
Inn:
Inn: It is probably best to sell your unwanted weapons and armor now
but bring a Splint mail for Minsc. You don't need to buy anything at
this time so bring the scrolls and potions to eventually sell in
Carnival in one big lot later
If you sell the scrolls and Potion of Clarity now you could attain 1800
gp in total; could then buy a Plate armor for 852 gp (810 gp with
Ajantis) but it is not necessary as the party will be fine and it doesn't
offer any added protection vs missiles compared to Splint mail
(missile damage is the greatest concern at this early stage in the
game)
Note: keep a few extra weapons in case of breakage (non-magical

weapons can break due to poor iron quality)
Option If not yet done: go to the map north of Friendly Arm if you'd like
Ajantis, a good Paladin, level 2, to join. In general that map is made
for higher level characters, so leave it until much later
Option [Did not do: walk to east side of map to activate Peldvale map; in
NW in Peldvale can rescue Viconia and obtain a Plate Mail armor
without her needing to join the party. This armor is not needed and
you'll soon find a better one!]
South of Walk south along the path until mid-map, and then walk due east
Friendly Arm Use Charm Animal if you encounter a Wolf; the animal can fight on
Inn: your behalf and the party will get the experience points!
Mid-east: Use Stealth to locate the Ogre in the mid-east area near the east *Girdle of Piercing
edge of the map; fight carefully, 270 xp, Fire opal ring, and drops
Girdle of Piercing! -> AC reduced by 3 vs piercing and missiles
which is very useful throughout the entire game
Note: do not finalize this quest because Unshey will take the girdle
and you'd have to kill him to get it back
Walk straight down map along east edge to minimize fighting, or

return to mid-map and then walk due south past the caravan
Beregost: ENCOUNTER Golin Vend D4:7
Plan for Beregost:

General looting and a little buying; save quests until full party
- Do 1 quest only (Firebead) to increase Reputation
- Buy the Sling +1 and a Large Shield
- Get Kivan (optional but good; swap him out later for Dynaheir)
Loot most of the buildings with the exception of:

- Feldepost's Inn
- Red Sheaf (tough fight)
- the mid-south house with the spiders (wait for full party to share
xp's)
- a central house (3515, 1860) with a locked chest (cannot bash;
contains a diamond)
Can bash nearly all chests with STR 18/00, but quite a few cannot
be bashed with STR 18/91-99 or lower (see map below)
Return later when you have Draw Upon Holy Might to boost strength
to 19, or eventually a mage will obtain the Knock spell
or Coran who has good Open Locks skill
bg2mez 12
Avoid Garrick until acquiring full party
Burning Wizard: [Imoen or Jaheira as leader: talk to Zurlong Q (boots) but it is not
necessary to find/get the boots and he will steal 15 gp or more!]
Burning Wizard Loot

upstairs:
Mid-east house: House across from Silke (avoid her for now) on the corner has a *Splint Mail
Splint Mail armor in locked chest (requires STR>18/75) -> Jaheira AC4
Note: simply leave the room (run!) as quickly as possible to avoid

the Flaming Fist Enforcers, or use Stealth or Sanctuary

maximum gold
Imoen or Ajantis as party leader buy (before 9pm or after 4am):

Bullets (pack 300 or so!) 15
TOTAL 170
Smithy, 21:00 or If STR high enough: loot Bastard Sword +1 (can be bashed with

[and a Scroll Case in EE]
Kagain's shop: Loot (207 gp!); talk to Kagain, Kagain joins! 14 gp awarded.

Could take Kagain to the Caravan to do his quest now or later: walk
him to the body beside the SE caravan located South of Friendly
Arm, and he will remark that this is the body of Entar Silvershield's
son (worth 0 xp)
Red Sheaf: [Wait until later with full party: avoid Karlat if cast Sanctuary or use
Stealth to loot upstairs]

upstairs east room
Result: 2100 gp (plus scrolls, potions and a wand) 2100 gp
Temple: Song of the Talk to Keldath Ormlyr (talk 2): Q (return Bassilus' holy symbol)
Morning Temple: Do not explore this map, wait until acquiring full party
Option Option (new!): travel to the next map to the west to pick-up Kivan
for increased safety. He is a good Ranger with excellent Bow skill,
currently at level 2
In general that map is made for higher level characters, so just
recruit him and then leave the map until later
bg2mez 14
High Hedge: Walk to the southwest following the dirt "path" to locate Kivan D5:2
Save game (Kivan has a minimum CHA requirement)
Imoen or Jaheira talk to Kivan, Kivan joins! 3 gp given; Kivan

Ranger level 2, 2262 xp, 20 hp, Bow**, Spear**, THAC0 15 (1
attacks per round) or 14 with Composite Longbow; STR 18/12, DEX
17
Plan for Kivan: Composite Longbow, archer, escorting us only until

finding Dynaheir
Mage's Store: Note: the Flesh Golems are not hostile if you speak to Thalantyr,
can sneak in using Stealth
Talk 2x to Thalantyr; ID and sell the Wand of Lightning for 600 gp!
Consider to buy (not required):

Scroll of Identify (for Dynaheir later) for 135 gp
Leave the map! It's not worth the risk of death and keep Imoen's
xp's low so that she only has about 2500 xp at the end of Nashkel
mines for perfect timing to Dual Class to Mage
Beregost: Thunder Hammer Buy a Composite Longbow for Kivan at Smithy Thunderhammer for
Smithy: 127 gp (Ajantis as party leader with CHA 17) if you don't have one
South of Walk to the west and east and activate new maps (avoid fights)
Beregost: Walk straight down map to avoid fighting
Mid-south: Get Zurlong's Boots (of Stealth) from Hobgoblins in the mid-south *Boots of Stealth (#1 of 3)
area of the map, slightly west of the roadway (found at coordinates
1880, 2700); keep the boots!
Cave: Use Stealth to locate the cave mid-map (1825, 2210) with five
Potions of Healing and 29 gp
[Note: can fight the Flaming Fist Mercenary on the south part of the
path for a free Plate armor but it is not nice nor necessary]
North of Walk straight down the eastern side of the map to avoid fighting, or
Nashkel: follow the path for an easy fight 210 xp
Walking to Nashkel or Carnival instigates Chapter 2!
Cut scene: "How the iron shortage or the trouble in Nashkel

Mines could be linked to you, you have no idea"

you dream

Return back to the top of map and cross the bridge

ENCOUNTER Bardolan
Nashkel Inn: Avoid the Nashkel Inn until later (tough fight)
Nashkel Store: Sell junk, gems, necklaces and rings 2900 gp
Near the Temple: ENCOUNTER Berrun Ghastkill Q (Mines): wants you to find out MAIN
what is wrong in the mines to the southeast QUEST
Near Garrison: Save game before talking with Minsc (has a minimum CHA
requirement); park Ajantis here or at Carnival
Imoen or Jaheira to Minsc, Minsc joins! Ranger level 2, 2276 xp, 22

hp, Large Sword**, Axe*, Spiked*, THAC0 17 (1), STR 18/93, DEX
15, CON 15
Plan for Minsc: Two Handed Swords; Longbow as alternate weapon
Must rescue Dynaheir within approximately 16 days or Minsc will

fight the party and leave for good. On the other hand, Dynaheir can
be recruited if you just go get her without talking to Minsc
Tested: Minsc leaves after 16 days and 5 hours , therefore must

rescue Dynaheir by day 19:21 or so for this play through (if playing
with Minsc, that is)
Talk to Oublek: be nice for REP +1 REP+1 -> 16

Talk to Oublek again (talk 3: What bounties are currently
unclaimed?) about the captain of the guard; Q Prism
Garrison: Can carefully loot the first two chests *Short Sword +1
-> Imoen alternate weapon
South house: Talk to Commoner Q (Joseph's ring); do not loot
Mid-south: [Did not do: talk to Edwin, he joins. Dismiss (evil alignment) but is
an extremely talented Mage]
Bridge: [Later, with full party: ENCOUNTER Noober: talk 32x for 400 xp]
West/south: Walk to south and east edges to activate new maps
Temple of Helm: Talk to Nalin Q (Brage, Captain of the Guard). He can ID wands but
the nearest place they can be sold is High Hedge or Friendly Arm
Inn (it is not necessary to sell them yet)
Note: if planning to play with Branwen (a good Cleric found in

Carnival): Imoen buy a Scroll of Stone to Flesh from Temple of
Helm for 213 gp (or Ajantis for 180 gp). This party will be fine even
without the extra Cleric. We have used her instead of Dynaheir
playing Fighter/Mage
bg2mez 16
Nashkel Store: Imoen or Ajantis as party leader buy:
Sling (for Imoen when she dual classes to Mage) 1 -> Imoen later
Sling (for Dynaheir) 1 -> Dynaheir later
Bullets (need 300 or so!)/arrows (need 200 or so!) 25
TOTAL 27
Manor House: Loot the south-east bookcase and container near door (don't get
caught!)
Upstairs: loot one chest of drawers only; the desk and other chest of *Potion of Invisibility
drawers require STR>18/00 and the contents are nothing special
(50 gp and a tainted potion)
Carnival: Note: store items in containers in a convenient place to eventually

sell when reaching 16 items each to avoid dilution of price
Note: carry extra melee weapons if not using magical weapons (in
case of breakage)

Do not loot the large tents (#1 and 2) or Tent #3 at this time!
Do not loot the square tent (armor) Tent #8, you will be caught!
South tent (#7): Buy the red and violet potions (or Imoen PP) and sell for 450 gp
Small tent (#4, Sell gems, necklaces, rings, the red and purple potions, and junk; 3500 gp
magic items): still have scrolls worth 800 gp and potions worth 800 gp
Make sure you keep an Oil of Speed or two for upcoming tough fight
with Greywolf, as well as a Potion of Heroism and of Agility (if you
have), to ensure success
bg2mez 17
It is recommended to leave the other tent's and various small quests
until later when full party is acquired
Nashkel: We are ready to rescue Dynaheir! Bring her a Sling and bullets, and
several Potions of Healing; optional: bring a Potion of Invisibility or
two to help Dynaheir escape the Gnolls

Mines at this time, then to the Bandit Camp, then get Coran from
the Cloakwood Forest map, and then hurry back to rescue Dynaheir
before Minsc gets upset and leaves the party

Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT) travel note

If playing BGT must travel from Nashkel/Carnival to "Fisherman's
Lake" (just walk along the south to mid-south), and then to "Xvart
Village" (leave the map from the south-west side); thereafter can
travel to Gnoll Stronghold directly, or to "Beaver River"
West of Nashkel (Xvarts): Easy map; can clear, or just use Stealth/Sanctuary (or fight many
Xvarts) to walk into the Cave to the north-west of the village and loot
a Flail +1, Bracers AC8 (worth 1500 gp!), and a Potion of Fire

Stronghold: Rescuing Dynaheir: fight several Gnolls; however, Minsc can use *Potion of Hill Giant
Stealth to sneak to Dynaheir; bring her a Potion of Invisibility to Strength (STR 19)
escape without having to fight so many Gnolls
Park Kivan at the Stronghold; can return later to get him (but we
won't!) [or take a load of items back to Carnival to sell/storage, park
him there and then return for Dynaheir]
Mid-north: Talk 1 only to Dynaheir for 800 xp (otherwise 0 xp awarded),

Dynaheir joins! Invoker level 2, 2638 xp, Missile*, Lore 18, INT 17,
knows the spell Magic Missiles; has special ability Slow Poison
Plan for Dynaheir: use Sling or Darts; Fireball! Magic Missiles is

also very good vs all types of opponents. She can Identify items
after scribing the scroll; give her the Ring of Wizardry and Bracers
of AC8
Mid-SW cave: Later or now: clear the map or at least get the Tome of Leadership Khalid Fighter3

(use this potion to PP Aldeth Sashenstar later) [in EE: Garrick drink Thievery
this potion to successfully be able to PP Algernon's Cloak]
Note: can also buy a Potion of Mastery Thievery from Erdane on the
Durlag's Tower map but that map wasn't present with BG1 so we
normally wait until much later in the game to visit (Ch. 6)
Note: can buy Potion of Perception from High Hedge later, which
boosts all thieving skills by 20% (recommended to PP Aldeth
Sashenstar later)
Small tent (Tent [Do later with full party: ENCOUNTER Zordral: talk 1, 1, fight (buff

Baldur's Gate Trilogy note
Hulrik and the Qvarts quest must be done now! Otherwise it will
disappear after fighting Mulahey!
If playing BGT, go to the map north of Carnival now, proceed slightly
north to do the quest for REP +1, and then immediately return to
Carnival
Magic tent (Tent Ajantis (with CHA 17 and REP 16) consider to buy:
#4):
Necklace of Missiles (very powerful! Has 10 charges) 2400 -> Imoen
Sling and bullets for Imoen when she soon dual classes 10 (-> Imoen later)

Buy/bring extra normal weapons in case of breakage
Note: it is not necessary to buy anything else such as a Large
Shield +1
Select spells for upcoming tough fights in the Nashkel Mines and
with Greywolf: 1x Remove Fear, 1x Protection from Evil; 3-4x Magic
Missiles; 1x Doom, 1x Bless; Sleep (optional, but good)
Nashkel: Leave by south edge of map (4 hours travel time to the Mines; 8
hours with BGT)
Nashkel Mines: North-west: NW corner of map: get Wand of Frost from tree D9:16
Can be used for tough fights but need to Identify it first (Temple of
Helm in Nashkel can ID it)
Imoen is nearing 2500 xp at which point she will level-up the Thief 3
and then dual class to Mage (Conjurer). To avoid wasting xp's she
should be at 2500 xp when we reach level 3 of the mine (she needs
to remove some traps before dual classing); therefore clear
the map and do the Prism/Greywolf quest (worth 2400 xp) after
completing the Mines
Select spells now (rest and dream) for upcoming tough fight in the
Nashkel Mines: 1x Remove Fear, 1x Protection from Evil; Magic
Missiles; 1x Bless
Sleep also works very well against low-level monsters such as
Kobolds and Skeletons
Mines (dungeon): Talk to Emerson; he gives one day to clear the mines MAIN
Talk to Guard to gain access to the mines QUEST
Clear the mines first using Imoen as a Thief to de-trap the eight
traps on level 3 (only) BEFORE she is Dual Classed to a Mage (at
Thief level 3; reached at the end of level 3 of
the Mines in this play through) whereby her Thieving skills become
inaccessible
Imoen has 2300 xp at this time (2500 xp = thief level 3)
Note: completely clearing the mines of Kobolds is not necessary

and not worth the chance of death by arrow!
bg2mez 20
Level 1: ENCOUNTER Miner Gord: talks about Ruffie
Mid-south: ENCOUNTER Miner Dink: Q (Kylee's dagger)
Note: level 1 and 2 containers have no loot; do keep one piece of

contaminated iron if the Unfinished Business mod is installed
Level 2: ENCOUNTER Miner Beldin: fight several Kobolds

Mid-southwest: finalize Miner Kylee 200 xp
South-east: near entrance to level 3: do not use the two green
potions (vials of mysterious or murky liquid will lower CON); they are
vials of mineral poison (can be brought to High Hedge)
Keep the two Vials of Mysterious Liquid if the Unfinished Business
mod is installed
Level 3: Trap locations: slightly east of entrance on level 3, two on bridge mid-
map, two on 2nd bridge across lava (other two lava bridges have no
traps), and three traps near the exit in the south-east
Important Note: must disarm the traps near the exit in the southeast
before Imoen dual classes to Mage because she will temporarily
lose her thieving abilities
Pick-up Joseph's ring on ground *Joseph's Greenstone ring

Get Potion of Healing in 3rd ore car
East, optional: fight Kobolds and loot eastern containers (26 gp +
Fire Agate 5 gp only)

Sling proficiency (*) and spells: Friends, Sleep (we have a scroll of Find Traps 40->60
Magic Missile and will soon get Identify) DUAL CLASS to Mage
Level 4: Rest and memorize 2x Remove Fear if not done (one for upcoming
fight in Mines and one for Nashkel), Magic Missiles and Bless
Cave: Xan (Enchanter level 2, neutral) is here, but his "quest" to return his
sword/Moonblade is worth 0 xp
Note: the battle with Mulahey can be won without enchanted

weapons and with the Ankheg armor being the only decent armor
(no plate required); however, being able to cast Magic Missiles at
Mulahey is highly recommended
Stealthily clear the few Kobolds lurking about and then buff with
Shield Amulet, Remove Fear and Bless
- Khalid and Protagonist (use Stealth) will fight Mulahey

- Minsc and Jaheira will protect the mages
- Dynaheir will cast Magic Missiles
- Imoen use Necklace of Missiles
ENCOUNTER Mulahey: Imoen use Necklace of Missiles on the

summoned Skeletons and Kobolds, aim slightly above the top
Skeletons (they seem to be worth 0 xp)
Sleep spell is quite effective as well
bg2mez 21
Talk 1 when he asks for mercy to fight 2nd wave of summons *Boots of Grounding

Position NPC with highest xp's, or a charmed Winter Wolf, such that
Greywolf fights them (for party survival). If hit you might need to be
tactical and flee to make Greywolf follow him around
Jaheira cast Bless; cast Protection from Evil if available
Talk to Prism (talk 2, 1) and offer to fight Greywolf for him

ENCOUNTER Greywolf: keep protagonist out of line of fire!
- Protagonist can try to cast Doom [not an BG1 Original spell]

- Dynaheir will cast Magic Missiles
- Imoen will use the Wand of Frost if identified (effective but the area
of effect is a cone so use with caution!)
- Minsc consider to use Berserk skill
Fight Greywolf 1400 xp, 102 gp, drops Long Sword +2: Varscona! ***Long Sword +2
(1d8+2, +1 cold = 4-11 damage) -> Khalid
Talk to Prism to finalize 1k xp, REP +1 REP+1 -> 17
If you have the Unfinished Business mod installed: do not remove

the Emeralds from Prism's statue, it will cost you a Reputation point!
Fight a few more Winter Wolves if possible!
bg2mez 23
New plan, but optional: try the map to the east of the Mines: it has
very little fighting if any, has a valuable gem, a nice ring, and a
quest that can increase Reputation if needed
East of Very little fighting on this map D11:1

Nashkel Mines:

Mid-north: [Do later or now for the Reputation point: talk to Lena for a quest
(return Samuel to the Temple of Wisdom in the Friendly Arm Inn
map) that will reward 500 xp and REP +1; however, if following this
walkthrough the party will not be able to complete it before the timer
of 3 days expires. OK to rest once or twice but must proceed directly
to the Temple thereafter]
Nashkel: Note: several small quests in Nashkel, Carnival and Beregost can
be done later if you plan to have Coran/Yeslick/etc. in the party; we
have a full party already, but may postpone them anyway
South house: [Later with Coran or now: finalize with Commoner (give Joseph's D11:22
Greenstone ring) 800 xp, do not loot the house]
[Oublek: the Bounty for Prism cannot be finalized with Oublek if you
have installed the Unfinished Business mod; otherwise it is
recommended to sell Prism's two emeralds for 1500 gp rather than
finalizing the quest with Oublek for a mere 300 gp, 200 xp]
Near Temple: Finalize with Berrun Ghastkill 1k xp, 900 gp, REP +1 REP+1 -> 18
With the Unfinished Business mod: Berrun advises to show the vial
of mineral poison to Thalantyr in high Hedge, and a piece of
contaminated ore and the other vial of poison to Taerom Fuiruim in
Beregost
Temple of Helm: Nalin will Identify wands and the Protection from Magic scroll! Very
good idea to use the Wand of Frost to interrupt spell-casting
opponents (e.g. Nimbul, Neira, Tranzig), so identify it now!
Near Store/Inn: ENCOUNTER Nimbul: buff with Remove Fear, fight 650 xp, use
Wand of Frost and cast Magic Missiles; drop includes Ring of
Infravision (sell), Short sword +1, 58 gp, and the Boots of Avoidance *Boots of Avoidance
(AC +5 vs missile attacks!) -> party leader
Store: Buy Bullets if needed; sell Winter Wolf Pelts for 500 gp each, Ring 9400 gp
of Infravision 350 gp
Note: can only sell one Winter Wolf pelt if BGT (Trilogy) is installed;
can sell more pelts in High Hedge and Feldepost's but for only 250
gp each
Inn: Later with Coran or now: ENCOUNTER Neira: fight, mages use
Wand of Frost and Magic Missiles to interrupt spell casting, 650 xp,
Helm of Infravision (keep); loot inn
bg2mez 24
Manor House: Upstairs: talk to Samantha 2, 2, 2 -> Jamie appears: fight 65 xp
Bridge, south: [Later with Coran or now: ENCOUNTER Noober: talk 32x for 400 xp]
Carnival: Return to Carnival for the first big sell of accumulated weapons
Try to sell in lots (loads) of 16 items to a merchant
Large tent (#1): Equip ranged weapons

ENCOUNTER Vitiare: kill quickly for a Potion of Mastery Thievery *Potion of Mastery
(save for Garrick to PP Algernon's Cloak or for Coran to PP Aldeth Thievery
Sashenstar)
South-west: Later with Coran or now: talk to the Great Gazib 3x (can carefully PP
2x for scrolls: Blindness Scroll, Agannazar's Scorcher), kill the
Amazing Oopah 270 xp
Small tent (tent Later with Coran or now: buff with Remove Fear; enter tent
#3, purple top): ENCOUNTER Zordral: talk 1, 1, fight 900 xp; talk to Bentha (talk 3)
for a Potion of Heroism [or pick pocket 2x], loot includes Knave's
Robe, 79 gp
BIG SELL #1: do a major sell of nearly all loot (only 12k gp is actually needed at this time, less without Coran):
Note: to maximize gold: sell one load (16 items at one time) to the
merchants listed as "max."; subsequent loads will be at diluted
prices:
Wands: identify at Temple of Helm in Nashkel; can sell at High Hedge, Friendly Arm Inn and Erdane
Arrows: max. at High Hedge and the Ranged Tent only; diluted at Smithy; can't sell elsewhere until BG
Darts: can sell at most stores
Scalps: sell to Vai for 50 gp or Feldepost's for 25 gp (no dilution)
Wyvern Heads: sell to Vai for 1000 gp [also true for EE pre 1.2], or at Feldepost's or High Hedge for 500 gp but prices become diluted
Scrolls: can also sell to Erdane (Durlag's Tower)
Magic tent (tent Sold only normal melee and ranged weapons; could also Rest and
#4): identify items and then sell some magical weapons and the Bracers
AC8 for an additional 2k gp
Square tent Sold only 2nd load of normal melee and ranged weapons
(armor tent):
Melee tent (tent Sell normal armor and 3rd load of Short bows
#5):
Ranged tent (tent Sell normal armor and 3rd load of Short swords
#6):
If you sell potions now keep some potions for upcoming tough fights:
Oil of Speed; Potions of Invisibility, Fire Resistance, Absorption
(useful for Chapter 6 in particular), Invulnerability; keep 1x Potion of
Agility, Hill/Stone Giant Strength and Heroism; keep a few Potions of
Healing
bg2mez 25
Magic tent (tent Did not sell scrolls yet; remember to scribe useful scrolls if you have
#4): them: Protection from Evil, Friends, Protection from Petrification,
Strength, Invisibility, Dispel
Square tent Did not sell enchanted items yet, but you could Rest and identify
(armor tent): items! We will wait for Chapter 5
Result of sell: 8k gp, plus still have a Laeral's Tear (3k gp), Short
Sword +1 x3 (1200 gp), scrolls (1100 gp) and potions (1100 gp) to
sell later
Note: you only need about 12000 gp (less without Coran in the
party) at this stage to buy the good items in Beregost and if
following this walkthrough; will soon get 5k gp from Bassilus quest
Note: no need to buy anything except perhaps the Shield Amulet

(525 gp) and ammo; could consider to buy a Large Shield +1 from
the Nashkel store for the party leader (2100 gp) but it is not
necessary
Extra gold! If you do need more gold: the map crossing from Nashkel to west 5500 gp
of Nashkel has a high chance of encountering a Winter Wolf
Bring along a Potion of Fire Resistance, Potion of Invisibility for the

upcoming fight against Bassilus. Also bring Oil of Speed, Potion of
Heroism and Strength (if have) for a tough fight in the Bandit Camp
Buffing tips when fighting melee at this early stage: THAC0

(attacks/ AC / hp
round)
Khalid: Fighter level 3 with Long Sword +2 and Shield +1: 13 (1) -6 39
Remove Fear (raises moral, no panic; 1 hour unless negated)
Shield Amulet (+2 AC vs missile attacks for 5 turns)
Oil of Speed (+1 attack & double movement speed for 5 turns) 13 (2) -6 39
Potion of Agility will give DEX 18 to improve AC
Protection from Evil (evil creatures get -2 attack penalty; saves
made are +2 bonus for 1 turn = 10 rounds)
Aid (+1 attack rolls and saves, +1d8 hp's for 1 round + 1
12 (2) -6 43
round/level)
Chant (+1 attack & damage rolls and saves; -1 to enemies' rolls for
10 rounds)
Bless (+1 attack rolls for 6 rounds) 11 (2) -6 43
Additionally:
Cleric/Ranger can cast Draw Upon Holy Might (STR, DEX and
CON improved for 1 turn = 10 rounds); therefore with above buff's
can achieve TH 11 (2) AC-4 38 hp
Useful potions (were rarely used in this walkthrough):

Potions of Strength will improve THAC0 and damage
Potion of Heroism will improve THAC0 and hit points
Potion of Mind Focusing will boost DEX to improve AC
Potion of Invulnerability will help AC and saving throws
Potion of Defense will help AC only, unlike Invulnerability
Eventually will be able to buff with:

Imoen/Dynaheir cast Strength, e.g. Khalid's STR is set to 18 for 1
turn/level and his THAC0 improves by 1, e.g. to TH 15/10 (2)
Cleric spell: Defensive Harmony (lowers AC by 2 for 6 rounds)
Jaheira cast Barkskin (+1 saves, except vs spells, for 4 rounds + 1
round/level)
Cleric spell scroll from Temple of Helm: Champion's Strength
(improves THAC0 and sets strength to 18/00)
[Overpowered, do not use: Imoen/Dynaheir cast Improved
Invisibility (lowers AC and helps THAC0 for melee fighting)]
bg2mez 26
North of Carnival: Save; walk along the south edge to the middle of map, save again D12:10
and then walk north
Mid-south: ENCOUNTER Hulrik, Xvarts and his cow: fight eight Xvarts and the
Cow must survive
Finalize Hulrik for an easy REP point: 350 xp, REP +1 REP+1 -> 19
To avoid Hulrik Xvarts quest bug:

The corpse (body) of the enemy must not disappear upon "death."
To avoid this, the final blow to the enemy cannot be so hard that
you "destroy" the body
Only the bodies on the ground get counted, e.g. if you kill all 8
Xvarts but only 6 bodies remain, then XVARTSDEAD = 6, which
means you cannot finalize the quest (must = 8)
Baldur's Gate Trilogy note

Must do Hulrik and the Qvarts quest before fighting Mulahey, or the
quest disappears!
Mid/north-west: If Minsc is in the party, otherwise optional:

Walk to bottom of map, then west to the edge, and then half-way up
to rocky area. North of the first rock outcrop use Stealth to locate
Arghain:
Fight Arghain to get Two Handed Sword +1, 520 xp, possible *Two Handed Sword +1
Friends scroll -> Imoen -> Minsc TH 16 (1)
Get Water Opal in small rock on ground (1570, 1486)
Cave (mid-NW): [Do not enter: not worth risk of death! Return later or use Sanctuary]
Do not attempt to explore the map to avoid certain death! Leave due
west
NW of Nashkel: Walk due north to fight Bjornin's Half-ogres (four), avoid Teyngan,
("Fisherman's Lake") Jemby and Zekar (tough fight, return later)
North: To avoid the Bjornin Half Ogres quest bug:

Only the bodies on the ground get counted, e.g. if you kill all 4 Half
Ogres but only 3 bodies remain, then OGRESKILLED = 3, which
Mid-map: [Preference is to do later: Could also encounter Drizzt, but it is safer

to do later: after fighting the Half-ogres, walk east around the lake
and then to the south mid point of the lake; carefully fight the Gnolls
(Drizzt's Gnolls) yourself by drawing them north to your party
If Drizzt fights the Gnolls himself their bodies could disappear if he

lands a very hard hit, which means you won't be able to finalize the
quest; a strategy is for your party to draw them north and fight them
with ranged weapons]
To avoid the Drizzt Gnolls quest bug:

Only the bodies on the ground get counted, e.g. if Drizzt kills all 12
Gnolls but only 6 bodies remain, then GNOLLSKILLED = 6, which
bg2mez 27
To finalize the quest after all 12 Gnolls are dead, talk to Drizzt who
replies "Well met friend. Luck be on your side."
Note: do not pick pocket Drizzt or he won't help you in Baldur's Gate
2 in Chapter 6! You do not need his weapons to easily succeed in
BG1 so resist temptation

Feldepost's Inn Garrick PP Algernon's Cloak (gives CHA +2 and can Charm Person *Algernon's Cloak
upstairs: for 12 hours!) from Feldepost's upstairs

Potion of Master Thievery to PP the cloak, and PP fail is now not
OK! Same if playing BG Trilogy]
Algernon's Cloak will help lower prices (CHA 20 with REP 20 is

enough to obtain the lowest prices), or cast Friends

60, Find Traps 20, Pick Pockets 40; STR 14, DEX 20, CHA 16
Plan for Coran: not playing with Coran this time; previous play
through's used him as a Stealth Sniper and to open locks
Must do Coran's quest (kill the Wyvern) within approximately 16

days of him joining or he leaves for good. He gives a warning after 8
days have past
Note: finalization of his quest at Temple is NOT necessary - Coran
remains in party - but must finalize with Coran in the party for the 2k
gp reward
Tested: Coran leaves after 16 days and 14 hours , therefore must

kill the Wyverns by day 34:14 or so on this play through if playing
with Coran
Note: it takes 52 hours (that's 2 days, 4 hours) to travel from

Cloakwood map 1 to where the Wyverns are on map 4

bg2mez 35
Cabin: Mid map: Coran cannot open the chest yet (contains 395 gp, Potion *Potion of Invulnerability
of Invulnerability, Elixer of Heath); requires Open Locks 80 or
STR>21) nor safely PP Aldeth Sashenstar. Can return later after
learning Knock but it is recommended to...:
Coran drink 2x Potion of Perception or 1x Potion of Master Thievery,

Outside cabin: loot the locked chest and then carefully pick pocket Aldeth *Bastard Sword +1, +3 vs
Sashenstar 3x including a Bastard Sword +1, +3 vs Shapeshifters, Shapeshifters
i.e. Doppelgangers! Worth 2k gp *Diamond
[cannot PP Bastard Sword +1 in EE]
Note: talk to Aldeth now or slightly later but do so before Chapter 5

to avoid a potential bug (possibly in EE 1.3 only) of her not
appearing in Baldur's Gate which misses a nice quest
Full buff then talk to Aldeth (talk 1, 2): Seniyad will call lightning
doing 60 damage so let Khalid equipped with the Boots of
Grounding talk to her
ENCOUNTER Seniyad: fight 4360 xp Imoen Conjurer3
Finalize, 2k xp, [Potion of Heroism,] and Aldeth goes to the Minsc Ranger4
Merchant's League Estate in Baldur's Gate (SW section) +11hp->44hp
TH 13 (1)
To avoid the Aldeth Druids quest bug:

Druids but only 2 bodies remain, then KILLEDDRUIDS = 2 (or 3),
which means you cannot finalize the quest (must = 4)
South-east: Now or later: get Cloak from Tasloi's in SE corner of map *Cloak of Non-Detection
No need to clear the map, or any of the Cloakwood maps at this
time
Leave by the south or west edge of map
To Cloakwood 2: Can get WAYLAID by Ettercaps, 4x 650 xp
YESLICK
If wanting Yeslick, an excellent Fighter/Cleric, go get him now,
minimizing fighting along the way so that he gets more xp's
When playing with Yeslick on a previous play through, going directly

from Cloakwood I, he had 27400 xp, Fighter 4/Cleric 5, War
Hammer** Sling** Mace*, whereas the other party members were
only at around 18k xp
ALORA
If wanting Alora, a fun Thief, instigate Chapter 5 quickly and
minimizing fighting along the way so that she gets more xp's
Doing so means she could be a level 4 Thief with 5012 xp, Open
Locks skill 80 and Pick Pockets 80 as well. The protagonist had
15,800 xp and the party total was 104k
If following this walkthrough, she will be level 6 with 20115 xp, Open
Locks skill and Pick Pockets at 100
bg2mez 36
Cloakwood 2 (South): Immediate trap!
(Cloakwood Falls) Talk to Tiber Q (find his brother Chelak)
Dealing with the Cloakwood traps:

Imoen detect traps unless she does not have her thieving skills
back. In that case, Protagonist use a Potion of Invisibility or
Sanctuary together with Find Traps to detect the traps (ten in total
but no need to clear the entire map at this time); OK to set off traps
while invisible!
Alternatively drink a Potion of Freedom and Invisibility and set-off
the traps! Enemies cannot see you if held while invisible. This clears
the way for the rest of the party to help the protagonist fight the
Spiders and Ettercaps
Use the Necklace of Missiles if a fight is problematic
TRAP
4 TRAPS

3 TRAPS
Cave/Spider Nest Rest; can sneak Spider's Bane +2 using Stealth and an Invisibility ***Spider's Bane +2

Walk to north edge of map
To Cloakwood 3: Can get WAYLAID by 2 Wyverns and 3 Giant Spiders, 4150 xp and Dynaheir Invoker4

consider to drink an Oil of Speed or Potion of Invulnerability

weapon
Mid south-west: ENCOUNTER Takiyah: fight, 120 xp
Faldorn is here (Neutral Druid, level 3)
Walk to east edge of map
To Cloakwood 4: Can get WAYLAID by 2 Wyverns and 3 Giant Spiders, 4150 xp and
Wyvern heads!
Cloakwood 4 (North): Save game. Walk South-east to bridge; walk east to outside the cave
(Cloakwood Crossings) Avoid the SE corner (Hamadryad: must use Resist Fear, Stealth,
elemental damage and Magic Missiles)
Cave (mid-east) / Save game, rest outside of the cave if needed. Full buff and then D20:14 *Plate Mail
Wyvern's Nest: clear the Wyvern's nest to complete Coran's Wyverns quest
Loot the body for 62 gp and gems/rings worth 300 gp, a Wand of
Fear and Plate Mail armor
Coran's quest completed! Finalization at the Temple is NOT

necessary - Coran will not leave and remains in the party;
unfortunately he says nothing to signify that the quest is complete
unless he is in the party when the Wyverns are killed
Keep Wyvern heads to sell for 2k gp from Kelddath Ormlyr at

Temple for the first head (if Coran is in the party), and then 1k gp
from Vai (if you have one or more bandit scalps in inventory)
Can also sell the heads at High Hedge and Feldepost's

High Hedge has higher dilution prices (500, 450 and then 400) than
Feldepost's (500, 300 and then 200)
If wanting Yeslick or Alora fight several Wyverns later with them in

the party so they get more xp's:
Bonus xp's! In the cave: can rest a get rest interrupted by Wyverns (typically will
fight a dozen!) which is the best xp farming tactic so far. The best xp
farming tactic in TotSC is in Durlag's Tower at the Level 2 exit stairs
Leave the cave; return to fight Wyverns after completing the Mines
Inventory management:
Inventory is probably now fully loaded, can store loot in the body in
the Wyvern's Cave, or in a chest on the next map, and collect it
later. Preference is to clear Cloakwood 5 map before returning to
Beregost/Carnival to store/sell loot
There is no need to collect all the Chain Mail armors (especially
from Cloakwood 5 and the Cloakwood Mines), bows and melee
weapons as the value of these is insignificant compared with selling
a Wyvern's head
Likewise, do not collect all the low-value gems, necklaces and rings
as per list on page 33
North-west bridge:[Now or later: fight four Baby Wyverns 1800 xp]
bg2mez 38

about the Wyverns] +5hp->41hp

Beregost or Carnival to store loot; or save the trip by reducing the
number of items in your inventory by dropping anything not worth 50
gp or more
Drop the low-value gems, necklaces and rings as per list on page

General strategy is to first scout the place using Stealth. *Potion of Storm Giant
In general send only protagonist [and Minsc] to begin fighting on Strength
various floors, and then send up the rest of the party when the
enemies are focused on the protagonist.
1) Fights are tough; protagonist full buff and use potions:

- Cloud Giant Strength, Mind Focusing, Invulnerability, Heroism, Oil
of Speed and Fire Resistance (to become healed when Imoen and
enemy mages cast Fireball, etc.)
Khalid [or Minsc] should buff similarly
Now the entire ship can be cleared in one go!
2) Protagonist using Stealth [and Minsc] must become the focus of

all attacks
Other party members can eventually joint the fight and cast Fireball
and Magic Missiles
Level 2: 3) Fight: begin fighting at the north end of the ship 11600 xp

Caverns/Trials:
The four caverns or trials could be buggy in BG. It is recommended
to start with the lower trial first (the Phoenix Guards) and work your
way up, ending in the Ice room
The bug we experienced (BG only) sent only two characters to the
Chess Board; bug likely due to difficultly in knowing if the Phoenix
Guards were indeed killed entirely, but could also be that we missed
an Invisible Stalker

then use Arrows of Ice to fight the Phoenix Guards
Cavern 2: Air: use physical damage; 1x Air Aspect 4k xp, 3x Invisible Jaheira Druid8 Fighter6

creation of a final save to export to BG2 or Siege of Dragonspear
(SoD). Ensure that the Golden Pantaloons and Fallorain's Plate +1
(Plate Mail +1) are in the protagonist's inventory!
No weapons carry over in BG2 (BG2 makes you work to re-obtain
your items, which become scattered across Amn).
In EE 1.3: Check also that you have the weapon you'd like to export
to BG2EE (see list below), if any at all (we do not)!
If you prefer, an export file can actually be created now, or at any
time.
Note: use Stealth to see if any Flaming Fist Enforcers are around; if
so use the Boots of Speed and Stealth to lure them away from the
party to avoid going to Prison (see below for how to get out of
prison).
Plan for the Endgame: Flaming Fist HQ

BG South: Iron Throne, Harbour Master's

Blushing Mermaid

infiltrate the Iron Throne; he goes to Three Old Kegs inn
Near Sorcerous ENCOUNTER Tamoko: be nice (an opportunity to fight her is

Sundries: presented to you just before the final battle, or...). Save game
PRISON
If caught by a Flaming Fist Enforcer talk 1 if you want to go to prison,
or talk 2,2 or 3,2 and run to escape.
Prison: Angelo's trail: do not talk 1 or a party member will be killed!

In prison, walk to Neb and wait for his dialog sequence to progress.
Answer his riddle correctly to escape prison.
bg2mez 77
BG SW: Near Flaming Use Stealth or risk being caught by an Enforcer
Fist HQ: ENCOUNTER Tamoko: agree with her for now; she says go to the

+1, 6x diamond, 1x Kings Tears)
Ducal Palace: Full buff and then talk to Liia Jannath, Belt, several concerned
Noblemen and Sarevok: there are rumors that Amn is preparing for
war! Eltan was poisoned by the Shadow Thieves! Entar was killed
by Shadow Thieves, agents of Amn! Amn wants a war!
Liia retorts "The evidence we have about Entar Silvershield's murder
does resemble the work of the Shadow Thieves, but"
Sarevok address the evidence and suspicions; Belt objects!
Fight all Greater Doppelgangers
Belt speaks, give him proof (the diary) -> fight Sarevok (e.g. cast
Magic Missiles)
Belt must survive -> teleported to the Thieves Guild

Pantaloons), and bring some nice potions to help you win the very
tough final battle.

some valuable items to bring to sell for gold: 25k gp worth of items is
recommended. Your entire party, all their equipment and inventory
will be brought into SoD, so equip or bring the
best stuff. Bags of holding such as Gems Bags, Potion Cases, etc.,

Traps on floor are indicated by a green mark on the wall
The first set of traps has 4 individual traps and is in the hallway after

protagonist's inventory (no need to wear) for IMPORTING INTO
BG2!
Exporting (Final Save) to BG2EE

When Sarevok falls a Final Save is created and you have won! Your
current BGEE game is now finished, congratulations!
This Final Save file can be imported (might need to copy and then
paste into the "save" folder) into BG2EE or SoD.
Note: if you want to import a specific weapon into BG2EE from the
list below, such as the Sling +3, then drop the Ashideena onto the
ground just before Sarevok goes down.
[A more complicated method to export is: reload the Final Save,

check your inventory and then press EXPORT which creates a
character file for importing into BG2EE]
DONE! Time for BG2!.see Scribd.com for more walkthroughs:
https://www.scribd.com/user/108268863/bg2mez

game for the first time:
C:\Users\...\Documents\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced
Edition\save\000000002-Final-Save
