The Cult Of The Eyeless

Hi I have done the following so far:-

I have encountered the so-called guardians of the
dungeon below.

I have been in the temple and looked at the alter and found nothing resembling the 1/2 rod, when I go back to the temple of Helm - they tell me I am not finished - I have beaten all the nasties down below....

What haven't I done.

Darren.

When you entered the Temple, was there anything to fight?

After you defeat it, the avatar of the god should come and talk to you about the half rod.

Make sure you are visible when you enter the Temple, otherwise the sequence may not trigger

When you go 'downstairs' and when you get to that 'temple' place, go inside and cast a healing spell on the Demon there. Then, an Avatar will appear, and tell you some stuff. Ask for the part of the rift device, and you should get it.

all you have to do is go down there where gaal is, take his key to do his quest (he teleports away), attack one of his guards, then their god will appear, kill it (you dont need the rift device), gaal and a few guards will teleport in, kill them, loot the bodies, return to the surface [img]smile.gif[/img]

only then you miss out on the XP from half the quest (including repairing the rift device), some decent items (including bracers of dext.) and one of the 3 liches to complete the kangaxx quest. all good otherwise though.

Just to add my two cents, and to be just a little bit picky; it's the Empathic Manifestation (the Demon which they were talking about earlier)that you need to 'kill'. Now why is it called like that anyway?

[Vedran]

Empathic = characterized by empathy (entering into the feelings of another)
Manifestation = display, exposure, expression

The "demon" is actually the expression of misguided faith or lack of faith of those people around the temple. They are feeding it with their hate and despair, so Amaunator is losing his power and waning.

Hi,

even when I try to heal and or kill the monster in the temple, no one turns up to offer me the rod etc...

Dazza, first off, you should Reload and try it again. Baldur's Gate is a big game, with the potential for lots of bugs--but sometimes things will work properly after you Reload.

Give us some background: Is Gaal dead? Is Sassar dead?

masteraleph, while you're mostly correct on your reasons why Xero's idea isn't a good one, I should note that that plan does NOT screw you out of the Kangaxx quest.

Hi,

Thank You for your reply (Give us some background: Is Gaal dead? Is Sassar dead?)

No they are both still alive.

what do you recommend.
