Introduction

Welcome to the guide to Storm of Zehir – the second Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion. I hope that this guide and walkthrough helps you enjoy the gameplay and discover the secrets of Storm of Zehir.

The text has been split into following sections:

Party – where you'll find tips on creating your party, companion descriptions and the information on Adventurers Guild where you can learn party feats.

World Map – rules for moving about the world map, which changed drastically in this expansion, and the descriptions of some of the random encounters.

Trade – the basics rules for managing trade, listings of resource prices in each city and costs for expanding your merchant organization.

Main Quests (The Ship, Samarach, Sword Coast, North Samarach) – descriptions of main story quests.



Locations – location descriptions along with side quests that can be obtained in them.

Brown – quests I.e. quest 12: Shortage

Blue – places, locations I.e. Crypt

Orange – items I.e. short sword +1

100 $ - 100 gold pieces

Green – characters, monsters I.e. Volo, vampires

If a location is marked with (V) or I.e 12. Barrow – Volo, it means, that the location is of interest to Volo and it's tied to the quest you get from him early in game.

Companions

Creating a party At the beginning of the game you will be given to create four characters who from the base for your party. Later in game you will be able to recruit NPCs to join your cause (one or two, depending on whether one of your characters has the Leadership feat). There are quite a few ways to build your party, and there isn't one that's perfect, as much depends on individual preferences and experience. In my opinion, the build suggested by the game, as it is quite effective and universal – fighter, wizard, rogue and cleric. This combination also allows you to make best use of the first NPC you will be able to recruit - Umoja (druid). When creating your characters, consider giving them different alignments, as the use of some of the items depends on your alignment.

Storm of Zehir puts emphasis on skills. They're often used in conversations and on the world map. For instance, one of the traders will offer you a magic ring, but after using dialog option with Spellcraft one of your characters reveals that the item isn't actually magical at all. Merchant will admit that he tried to misguide you and will offer you a lower price for it. This time, Appraise comes in handy, as one of your character realizes that the price is still too high for a genuine ring like this. On the world map, Survival comes in handy, as character with points in this skill moves faster than those without. Do your best to diversify and distribute skills among your characters in such a way, to gain access to as many skills as possible – if you don't have to, don't duplicate the skills – this way you should gain access to most dialog options and be able to solve your problems the way you want to. You can also take a look at the NPC companions that join you early in the game (Umoja, Inshula, Lastri), pick one of them (I recommend Umoja), check what skills he or she has and save on those skills when creating your characters.

You can also tell her to check what the cards have to say but it's not a good idea – she will ask for 500 $ if you don't stop her from doing that.

World Map

World Map in Storm of Zehir has been completely redone. Instead of clicking on the location you want to reach you need to actually travel there, covering whole distance “on foot”. There are monsters wandering about the map all the time, ready to attack you. During your travels you will come across new locations, random encounters and a great deal of items scattered about the map.

Only one character is always visible on the world map. Depending on his skills you may gain various benefits and penalties:

Hide and Move Silently decide whether the nearby creatures will notice you or not.

Listen and Spot are responsible for noticing creatures and people on the map.

Search allows you to notice hidden locations and treasures.

Survival allows you to move faster than normal.

Other skills come in handy from time to time allowing you to find things such as healing herbs (Heal), old trap elements (Craft Traps), magic runes (Spellcraft) etc.



Random Encounters Wandering about the world map you may run into some interesting characters appearing at random all over the map. Below you'll see a list of encounters I met through my game.

Samarach Samarach Soldiers – They will stop you and perform a magic test to check whether came in contact with Yuan-Ti the test, of course will come up positive and you will be forced to pay 2000 $ or fight them.

Charm Peddler – he wants to sell you a magic ring. Using Spellcraft you may learn that this is just plain, non-magical jewelry.

Delirious Hunter – You may heal him and listen how he fought the Demons of Samorlogh.

Diseased Townsfolk – If you want to heal those people you first need to convince them you mean them no harm.

One of Many – Demon feeding on souls. You can fight him or offer him some of your companions, provided that you have an evil character in your party. Each of the companions you offer him gives you a nice experience as a reward. After sacrificing three companions you will receive a feat improving your Strength and Intelligence by one. Another three companions will improve the feat to boost your Dexterity and Constitution by one, and after you feed him a total of 11 companions you will receive a bonus to your Strength, Intelligence, Charisma and Wisdom. If you decide to fight him (prepare for one of the hardest fights in the whole game) on his body you will find an amulet granting Charisma +3, Wisdom +3, spell resistance 12, only usable by Evil characters).

Sword Coast Wood Elf – If you talk to him in a non-aggressive way, he will offer to sell you some valuable items.

Liam Harvestead – This boy has been enchanted by a witch and tied to a tree. You can release him.

Drow and elves – You will come across a group of wood elves and drow. They're fighting and you might help one of the sides. It pays off to help the wood elves, as the drow equipment is more valuable – you will find a +2 plate armor and a cloak granting +2 on all saves.

Strange Gnomes – You can talk to them (what basically gives you nothing) or fight them to get some jewels.

Group of Chickens – You may cast Dispel Magic on them – if you do, they will turn into a group of adventurers. Thankful, they will give you a +3 chain shirt and a dagger +2 dagger, if you use Diplomacy.

Kana – Swordmistress. If you ask her, she will teach you new fighting techniques – you'll gain some experience. If you want to, you can also attack her to get a +3 katana.



Dwarves and Ogres – You will see them fighting. You can aid either side. For helping the ogres you will get a staff (1d4 acid damage, casts Acid Splash and Cloudkill). If you help the dwarves you will get a +1 warhammer.

Christov's Crew – You can talk to him and use Sleight of Hand at the end of the conversation to steal 1000 $. You can also fight him and his crew. By his body you will find a band (Spot +5, casts True Seeing).



Trade

Trade is the main source of profit in game. You start off as a unimportant figure and slowly climb towards the top. Towards the end you will grab the reins of a powerful organization bringing a profit of hundreds of thousands gold pieces. Your can start trading as soon as you complete quest 4: Samargol – Job Application, which you are given at the very beginning of the game. From this point on you will be able to buy resources at one city and sell them in another. Early in the game you will only be able to carry 10 resources. Once you reach the Sword Coast the limit will rise to 15. You can buy resources for trade bars. In turn, bars you earn can be exchanged for gold. 1 bar is worth 15 gold pieces. You can make the exchange with Osi Tchaluka (Samargol), and later with Variel (Crossroads Keep). Trade gets interesting once you reach the Sword Coast – resource prices are the same in all cities in Samarach so you can't really trade between them.

Resources There are 11 resources available in Storm of Zehir:

Basic:

Ore, Timber, Skins

They are the most common resources, but for this reason their price is the lowest

Rare:

Cold Iron, Darksteel, Mithril, Adamantine, Zalantar, Ivory, Mead, Salt

Rare and thus expensive.

Trade Outposts All throughout Sword Coast you will be able to set up trade outposts from which you will be sending caravans. The more outposts and caravans you have, the more profitable your company will be. Profit, generated in trade bars can be collected from Variel (Crossroads Keep). Be sure to check in with her every once in a while to collect your share. Setting up an outpost in a city may be expensive and may sometimes be tied to some quest. Below you will see the requirements for each of the cities:

Leilon – 300 trade bars and 5 skins

West Harbor – you need to complete West Harbor – Dragon Hunting and kill the monsters

Phandalin – 200 trade bars and 5 ore

Highcliff – 100 trade bars and 5 lumber

Neverwinter – you need to complete (Neverwinter): Trade Outpost

Thundertree - 100 trade bars and 5 ore

Port Llast – 100 trade bars and 5 ore, complete (Neverwinter): Under New Management and get rid of Luskan forces



New Leaf – 800 trade bars and 10 ore, Quest 12: Shortage

Conyberry – 500 trade bars and 10 skins

Caravans Caravans can be sent from one trade outpost to another. They generate profit which can be collected by talking to Variel (Crossroads Keep). Caravans can be upgraded to make them more resilient to bandit attacks and more profitable. It pays off to create as many caravans as possible and upgrade them when possible, the expenses you take should be covered pretty quick. If a caravans gets looted by bandits you can approach it and repair it by giving it the amount of resources or trade bars. Below, you will see a table containing the costs for creating caravans (in gold pieces), upgrade costs and the income they produce:

Organization upgrades You can also increase your profits by upgrading your organization. Those upgrades can be performed with Variel (Crossroads Keep). Such an investiture is best performed when you have trade outposts in most or all of the cities. Each investiture costs a set amount of trade bars:

1 investiture – 500 trade bars



4 investiture – no costs


Possible upgrades:

Propaganda – costs 5 ore, 5 lumber and 5 skins

Chapel upgrade – costs 5 lumber and 5 mithril / Opens the temple at Crossroads Keep.

Walkthrough Ship

1. Captain Lastri Kassireh

2. Volothamp Geddarm / guide book

3. Below deck / passenger manifest

Your adventure starts on board of the „Vigilant”. Start by talking to the captain. She will tell you to fill in the passenger manifest. You will find it right next to the stairs leading below deck – use it, to create three additional characters. Now, you will be able to talk to Volo and read the book besides him. Browsing through each chapter gives you an experience reward. This is pretty much everything you can do at the moment. Head back to the deck and listen to the story.

Talk to him about the nearby Batiri. During the conversation use your skills to convince the survivorsto hand you their weapons. Volo will try talking to the goblins looking for a peacefull solution. Meanwhile it's up to you to search the wreckage for items, such as fireball scroll. The negotiations will prove futile however and you will have to fight the first wave of goblins. After the fight Volo resume the negotiations, which will result in another fight. The one final band of Batiri won't get convinced to leave you be. During this fight a Samarach patrol will appear. They will help you win the fight, then arrest you and the other survivors – resistance is futile.

2. What's her favored way of dying? - Drowning

3. What's the symbol of Umberlee – Two split waves

4. What does Umberlee rule over? – Seas and oceans

After you give all the right answers the next door will appear to a room with some drowned people. Search their bodies and kill them, once they come to life.

If you manage to reach Level 4 without engaging your enemies you will receive a Master Infiltrator feat (Hide +2, Move Silently +2) you need to avoid the high-up Yuan-Ti, as such meetings will raise an alarm. Also be sure to avoid the traps scattered all throughout the temple. Triggering them may also alert the enemies. Stay away from Hal’Seh. You might want to buy some stuff from the merchant, who's selling some powerful Healing potions. Before leaving approach the scrying sphere, which will allow you to see some interesting moments and places. Now enter the armory, loot it and proceed to Level two.

Library

11. Back to Level 2

12. Archivist

13. Bookcase – Powerful magic scrolls

On the second level you should start off by talking to Nessa. If you manage to convince her, she will tell you that there is a Calendar hidden in one of the rooms here and that it should help you reaching the next level. It's not necessary, but you may want to use your rogue skills and send your character to retrieve it. On your way you should be wary not to get noticed by a golem. The corridor is filled with traps which are worth disarming for the experience they provide. Once you get through the corridor approach the chest and take the Calendar. You can now enter the library to pick up some powerful spell scrolls. There is an Archivist, who will recognize you here, but you can convince him that he's wrong unless you want to start a fight. You can also talk to Ar’Sulis and loot some chests. Now head to the door leading to Level three. In order to get through them you need to answer some questions (the answers can be found in the Calendar). Below, you'll see the list of questions and answers:

Winter Solistice – Greengrass

Melting – Midsummer

Highsun – Highharvestide

Leaffall – Midwinter

Marpenoth – Mirtul

Alturiak – Hammer

Elasias – Tarsakh

Kythorn – Ches.



Level 3

0. Back to Level 2

1. Chest – 10000 $, Bastard Sword +3, Tower Shield +3, Wand (casts Restoration)

2. Switch


On this level each and every Yuan-Ti is your enemy. If you want to sneak to the next level, none of them should notice you. Yuan-Ti can be found mostly in the western part of the area. There's only one patrolling the eastern part. You can sneak past him and get to the next level. You need to pay attention to traps scattered throughout the area and disable them whenever possible. The door to level four are open until you get noticed. If a Yuan-Ti notices you the door will close and you will need to use the switch in one of the western rooms. You might want to consider visiting the room with the chest, as there are some valuable items there. If you don't want to get noticed you can visit the room with your rogue in stealth mode only.



Level 4

0. Back to Level 3

1. World map – Available only after the fight

2. Zehir's Herold

3. Hierophant N’Safa

4. Zehir

5. Fanatics

You finally reached the final battle (or the second to final, if you decide to deal with Sa’Sani). Be sure that you are prepared for it. Spread the healing potions and coins of life throughout your party and buff your characters. You will listen to a conversation between Zehir and his servants, and the fight will begin. Start by killing the fanatics bombarding you with magic missiles and only after you're done with them you should switch to Herold and the Hierophant. Those two are really tough but killable if you'll keep an eye out on dying characters and use resurrection magic whenever necessary. Summoning spells will be a great help here. After the fight is over you will talk to Zehir himself. You won't be able to face him. You can now leave the area. You have three options now: you can finish the game at this point, continue exploring or return to Sa’Sani. If you decide to return to Sa’Sani you will be given the option of either fighting her, getting her to pay you for her life (50000 $) or making her promise that she won't hurt anyone again. If you decide to kill her, you will find: bracers (armor bonus +8), Magic Ring (armor bonus +3), magic amulet (Wisdom +6), Magic Ring (Freedom of Movement).



Locations

1. Viper Temple See Quest 15: Following Sa’Sani.

2. Derelict Camp The only thing you can do here is examine the area. After looking at the tracks you will notice that there have been both humans and Yuan-Ti around here.

3. Destroyed Temple Entrance to this temple has collapsed and there are some Yuan-ti bodies out front. You can examine the bodies using Search to get some Healing Potions and two magic scrolls.

4. Foreign Temple See Quest (Neverwinter): Fixing a Hole.

5. Ruins You'll notice some inscriptions that can be deciphered using Lore.

6. Mine Enemies: Dwarves, earth elementals

Loot: Chest – Jewels

In this mine you will meet a Brigadier. You can talk to him but it will give you nothing, and the dwarf will ask you out. If you want the jewels from the chest standing by him, you will need to fight some dwarves and earth elementals.



7. Barrow Enemies: Ogre mage

Loot: Ogre mage's body – Battle mace +3, Magic Ring (Fire Resistance 30)

Sarcophagus – 4500 $, Greataxe +3, leather armor +3

4. Chest – Jewels, Magic Ring (Fire Resistance 20)

In this temple you will run into a devil. Before you manage to fight him you will need to kill some Erynie and Imps present in both east and west room. Prepare for a rought fight and enter the room with the Horned Devil, Erynie and Diabolic Yuan-Ti. Empty the chest and leave.



9. Zecorian's Domain In order to enter this area you need to use Spellcraft to neutralize the defences.

Level 1

0. World map

1. Giant Skull / Wraiths

2. Closed door


There are some wraiths on this level. Kill them paying attention to the traps scattered throughout the level. You can examine the giant skull but there's nothing you can do about it. Disarm the trap on the door and enter the next level.



Level 2

4. Back to Level 1

5. Hell Skeletons


Kill the skeletons, and prepare for a rough fight before going to the next level.



Level 3

7. Back to Level 2

8. Two Vampire Lords, Lich Zecorian

This level contains what I consider the toughest enemies in the game. The fight that takes place here is extremely difficult so don't be ashamed if you decide to lower the difficulty gauge. Be sure to provide your characters with as much magic and negative energy resistance as you can. After dealing with the undead search their bodies to find: bracers (armor bonus +8), Magic Ring (armor bonus +4), Morning Star +4, Magic Ring (extra fifth level spell slot), Chainmail +4, Halberd +4, Magic Ring (Fire Resistance 20).

10. Empty Temple There is nothing inside.

11. Temple of the World Serpent See Quest 16: The Fall of House Se’Sehen.
