Neverwinter Nights Walkthrough
East Road
Actually you will have to go to Neverwinter Wood because there you will locate the first real evidence about the cult’s whereabouts. Welcome to Neverwinter Wood. In the druid encampment the archdruid Aawil (I think) will give you a quest to cure the Spirit of the Wood. After that go deeper into the wood. Firstly you will need to visit the nymph (north-east) and confront her until she surrenders. She will tell you that something came over her and she couldn’t control herself. Of course that was only before you beat the hell out of her :) Take a mirror of vanity and a dagger (this is a special dagger! Don’t lose it) in the same room the nymph is. After that you need to go to the waterfall where the altar is and “plunge the dagger into your heart”. You will appear in the spirit realm where the Spirit of the Wood is. Upon your arrival there you will encounter a crazed dwarf. You can persuade him to reveal useful information or if you fail, you’ll have to fight him, but you’ll fight him either way. He isn’t that tough and should be pretty easy to kill. Loot his corpse (take the journal) and continue exploring the area. There’s a rubble somewhere in the area (near the dwarf north-east maybe) that contains an antidote for the Spirit of the Wood. Evil players can try to poison the spirit again to kill it. I think this should work but I haven’t tried myself.

Enemies:
Spirit of the Wood. Its blasted magic is bad. And I think it has spell resistance too. Thankfully it doesn’t have a high AC and is easy to hit. A fighter should have no problems dealing with this deer. The deer will eventually surrender. The Ice Storm spell works very well on it in my opinion…

After you cure or kill this deer your quest will be completed.

Other quests:

Missing druids: In the deeper woods in a cave to south, southeast in the queen chamber (where the queen spider is) a druid is trapped in a cocoon. Free him. Another druid is in the nymph’s house. He’s easy to find. Third druid is in the witch’s cave/home (northeast), in the prison. That’s it all of the druids are freed now you only need to get the reward.

East Road – What Lurks Below: You get this quest by speaking to Jax in the Archaeologist Barracks. He wants a book for his research that can be found in the ruins but the ruins were recently overrun by trolls. The book lies on the last level of the caves. Once you hack through the troll caves you will reach the “ancient” caves. The floor exits are guarded by a golem that will need a special item to pass. Or you can simply kill the golem without running around the dungeon looking for items. All ways are good. The first golem guard asks for a ring that can be found to the southeast. The second golem asks you to speak in the ancient language. For this you need a creator’s scroll which can be found to the south in a chest. I believe there are some flesh golems if my memory serves me right. The third golem will attack you and you will have to kill it. After killing the golem and getting the key from a corpse in the central area somewhere and after unlocking the gate and killing some filthy lizardmen get the book and return it to Jax.

Troll head: I have completed this quest but I can’t remember what I did :) I think you talk to the guy in the Archaeologist Barracks (Lenton maybe?) and he tells you that he wants a head of a troll that killed his family or something like that. In the troll caves (same where Jax quest) level 1 there’s a troll shaman I think and he drops his head when he dies :) There’s only one head in the troll caves so you should be able to find it. Just bring back the head to the guy and complete this quest.

Revat’s mom: This guy is also in the barracks and wants his mommy back. His mother is near the stairs to lower troll caves I believe. She’s hard to miss.
