girdle of slashing

[Tyrion]

can anyone tell me where it is? ive been looking for it bu it is nowhere to be found!

[Lord]

AFAIK, such a girdle does not exist. Perhaps you mean the golden girdle? That provides +3 armor versus slashing weapons. If you want to know where you can find it, then

If you are a mage or sorceror, and complete the planar sphere, talk to the Knights of Solamnia, and then talk to some guy who appears later on (his name starts with a T, he appears in you Planar Sphere after about a day). Then speak to Ribald at the Adventurer's Mart, as him to free the knights, and exactly a day later, the knights will be there. Talk to them and you will get the girdle.

His name is Teos
pre-Baldurdashed there's a bug that allows you to talk to the knights several times before they disappear and get the girdle and the XP several times

If you're trying to do the item upgrade mod, then the Golden Girdle is what you want.

[SixOfSpades]

Personally, I think it's really stupid that:

• An item from BG1 (meaning that you could have been wearing it the very moment that you were captured by Irenicus's goons) shows up inside a sealed artifact that hasn't been seen on the Prime Material for over 500 years
• An item that Person X can give you in a conversation is not on Person X's body when/if you kill them
• You can't get it if your PC is anything but a Mage or Sorcerer, the 2 classes that have the very *least* use for it
• You can't get it if you're roleplaying Evil
• You can't get it unless you use Reload knowledge to do everything exactly right (Example: The Knights of Solamnia are uncomfortable staying in the extremely alien Sphere, so you do the nice thing and talk to Prelate Wessalen, asking if he'd be willing to let them stay at the Radiant Heart until Ribald's wizard friend shows up. Too bad you just screwed your chances of getting the Girdle!)

[ADD:] Me, I save myself a ton of aggravation by simply doing the following:
1) Go to Chapter 4.
2) Pop over to the Temple of Umberlee.
3) Buy the Girdle of Bluntness.
4) Drop the Girdle of Bluntness on the ground and pretend that I bought a Golden Girdle instead (I think it's BELT05)
5) Walk away, whistling a merry tune.

Yeah but i seriously doubt that all the bg2 team were involved with bg1 development, so you can excuse them for lack continuity.

[*]An item that Person X can give you in a conversation is not on Person X's body when/if you kill them

I know its dumb, it throws possible role playing routes right out the window.

[*][*]You can't get it if your PC is anything but a Mage or Sorcerer, the 2 classes that have the very *least* use for it

True, but it should really be considered apart of the mage stronghold quests, and therefore a class specific bonus for being a mage. Besides, unless your soloing, just give it to a party member.

[*]You can't get it if you're roleplaying Evil

Also true, but bg2 is really geared towards 'good' (because you cant kill everyone you meet - plot goes *grrrk* (thats cogs grinding [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and the whole thing comes screeching to a holt. Not to mention the point you mentioned above)

[*][*]You can't get it unless you use Reload knowledge to do everything exactly right (Example: The Knights of Solamnia are uncomfortable staying in the extremely alien Sphere, so you do the nice thing and talk to Prelate Wessalen, asking if he'd be willing to let them stay at the Radiant Heart until Ribald's wizard friend shows up.

Thats a case of the devs not thinking of all the possible choices (not an easy task - I'm mucking around making an NPC (a real roleplaying one!) with alignment based dialogue choices [so neutral pcs can choose neutral dialogue etc] that effects the NPCs path; it isnt easy keeping track of all the possible paths). I think you can forgive the devs for being human in that case.

Maybe someone out there would be kind enough to fix these things you've mentioned?

[Lord]

There are better girdles in the game anyway, so it's not really needed, but nonetheless, it's still not bad

[masteraleph]

Only reason I can really think of for needing it is if you've got Weimer's Improved Items mod; there's an item that uses all 3 girdles...
