For the variety and usefulness of its enchantments, that helm is the most versatile Head item in the game--the only thing that comes close is Wong Fei's. (I'd weigh the enchantments in greater depth here, but it's literally been months since I was in Tethyr.) And Roranach's? Bah. Using it against those enemies is cheesy, since it gives them almost no chance of beating you, and it's alsolutely useless against any other enemy! (Well, except for that it blocks Critical Hits.)

Bodhi's nightmare dungeon (with all the riddles you must solve, etc.) That's about as far as I've gotten so far; I reckon there's more like this in the Underdark, not to mention ToB.
For the sake of completeness, there's also Kalah's Palace, the Chapter 2-3 Graveyard Crypts, all of Chapter 4, the House Jae'ellat, and the T.R. HQ. (I may be wrong about the last one, since I've never tried going back.) Also, the de'Arnise Keep part is incorrect; that falls under a different category, which I won't elaborate on for fear of spoilers. And, once you beat SoA and progress into ToB, all of Amn is non-returnable, except Watcher's Keep.

Check the FAQ--there is a code, and it's posted there. [/QUOTE]Actually, I had checked the FAQ. I read all of the questions at the top, read the section on UBB Code, and searched the FAQ text for "spoil". Nothing turned up. What am I missing?

Anyway, thanks to Larry_Ohf for editing my post...

Umm, yeah. Thing is, when I went hunting for an FAQ, I naturally went to the top of the page, where there's this nice link that says "faq". So I clicked that, and searched, and searched, and didn't find anything, and assumed my question wasn't answered.

I didn't really notice the sticky post in the forum itself. 'Cuz hey, you don't normally expect there to be multiple FAQs for one thing.

Grrrrr. Fourteen years I've been on the Net; you'd think I wouldn't get bitten by this sort of thing anymore.

Oh well. Thanks, Xen...

Did you do the Wand quest??? If you did not i think that is the most important item quest in the dungeon...you get things that you can use and if you dont want to use them you can sell them for a good amount of money. And if you complete the quest correctly the reward item is also very good for early in the game!!

Wand...Quest...?

Are you talking about the place with all the wands stuck in the wall that you have to get with certain keys from Irenicus' dungeon??? I've never been able to sell them for much, and a one use wand doesn't help me that much...

I'm just saying that it's nothing to rave about... Although I suppose the ring of protection +1 is alright at the start...
