Assassins in the Palace - Main Quest
Your journey to the palace begins in the protagonist's cell, and your first activity will be a conversation with Imoen, who is disturbed by strange sounds coming from her bedroom. Go to her cell, and after a while you will be attacked by a group of assassins. Do not try to protect Imoen, as she will be injured no matter what you do. Eliminate the threat and listen to the conversation between Shael Corwin and Liia Jannath, who will take care of Imoen. After finishing the conversation, use the stairs to reach the lower floor of the palace and face another group of assassins hiding in the dining room.
Choose one of the stairs to reach the first floor of the palace. Go to the main hall where the Council meeting is taking place. In addition to the main character, the meeting will host a number of characters such as Captain Corvin, Liia Jannath, Duke Eltan, Duke Entar Silvershield and Duke Belt. The meeting will concern Caelar Argent and its crusade. After completing the conversation, head to the exit from the palace and talk to Captain Corvin about the whereabouts of your former party members. Thanks to this, you will be able to unlock the Recruitment Drive quest.
While chatting with Corvin, you can decide if you want to find your former companions first, or tell her that you are ready for an adventure north. If you chose the first option, leave the palace, and after you get to the courtyard, you will reach one of the edges of the screen. Then select one of the available areas on the world map and go look for possible recruiting companions. However, if you want to lead an expedition, return to the main character's cell and go to bed.
My missed fortune
This quest will be added to the journal once you reach the Ducal Palace. If you want, you can open your inventory and read Treasury bonds, from which you will learn that you must go to the treasury if you want to get your fortune back. She can be found in the basement of the palace - talk to the treasurer named Phyllis. During the conversation, you learn that Phyllis lost all his gold on the dog race, but he promises you that he will return everything.
Now you must leave the palace and go to the courtyard, where the wounded Ofillis will be waiting for you. During the conversation, you learn that the man was attacked by a group of refugees while he was mining his gold. You must now travel to The Three Old Kegs in search of the thugs who stole your treasure.
In order to find the people responsible for stealing your gold, you must travel to Three Old Kegs. Then enter the building and go to the first floor of the hotel. Approach one of the tables located in the western part of the room - there you can find a group of refugees. Once you have identified yourself and informed them of the problem, you can end the discussion in three ways:
- Leave the refugees alone. In doing so, you will receive gratitude and a battle ax.
- Tell the refugees to surrender to the guards. You will receive a large number of experience points.
- Fight and kill refugees. After that, you can get the aforementioned battle ax from one of the corpses.
The war at home
You can add this quest to your journal at the meeting with the Jospil, which can be found in the western room on the first floor of the palace. Initially, the person will be too depressed to have a conversation with you, but you can talk to him again when he reaches the main hall of the palace. You will learn about the ongoing hostilities associated with the crusader Caelar Argent. Regardless of the method you used to get the person talking, and if you decide to find out about the details of the military situation, the quest will be completed. Additionally, Jospil will give you Brevin Quarterstaff +1.
Sarevok's Servant
This quest will only appear if you decide to arrest Korlaz while scouting the Korlaz family tomb. Go to the basement of the palace and start a conversation with Korlaz, after which you learn that the sorceress managed to escape. After a short conversation with the woman, another battle will begin. Before starting it, make sure that using potions increases magic resistance, and that you have access to countermeasures such as slowing down or blindness. Luckily, you don't have to fight her on your own, as there are guards nearby who must join the fight. This time the battle will end with the death of the witch.
The fist restrained
This quest will appear as soon as you reach the basement of the palace. An officer can be found in one of the cells.It turns out that he was imprisoned for deception. Go southwest of the cell and examine the tables - you should receive a key to the camera. Go back and free the officer. Thanks to this, you will complete this short and easy quest.
Refuge for the Refugees
In order to unlock this quest, you must reach the courtyard of the palace and find a man named Garahen, who offers a refuge for refugees arriving in the city. A man named Perrin, who is standing nearby, does not have a very good opinion of Garahen - you find out that Garahen makes his living by stealing personal belongings of refugees. You can convince him to stop his activity, let him do it, or simply ignore the situation and leave the location. The quest will be completed regardless of your approach.
That's not all - you can take additional steps to support Garahen. The game will let you decide how to behave. One option is to obtain additional materials. In order to do this, you must go to Elfsong's tavern. Talk to "Lady" Alith Elendara after reaching the large chamber on the first floor. If you tell her about the refugees, you will be able to buy supplies for 1000 pieces of gold. If you agree, then you will receive the key to the supply chest, which is located on the floor of the tavern. After you've resupplied your supplies, return to Garahen.
Alternative solution: If you don't want to spend a lot of gold on supplies, you can steal them. To do this, get to the first floor and use a thief (eg Safana) to open the chest.
All the way to the bank
In order to unlock this quest, you must reach the courtyard of the palace and find the merchant Teeru in the southern part. Start a conversation, during which you must confirm that you are the hero of Baldur's Gate. She will ask you to deliver the bag of gold to the moneylender. You can agree, demand payment for the work (5 gold coins) or refuse.
Select Elfsong's tavern on the city map. Do not enter the building after reaching your destination. Instead, find Senna in the square. Give her a bag of gold. Then return to Teera and inform her of the delivery of gold.
Alternative solution: Before reaching Senna, you can approach Selma. After a short conversation, you will notice that she has stolen Teera's wallet. Go to Senna. During the meeting, you can behave in two ways. You can pay off Teera's debt (50 pieces of gold) or refuse to do so. In both cases, you must then return to looking for a donor. If you don’t pay for Teera, she will be disappointed and your reputation will deteriorate.
