Icon Dreamscape Dreamscape
Head into Lulu's memories to discern the location of the Sword of Zariel!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
This looks like quite tha place ye run here, Mad Maggie. But ye've set all our curiosity goin' with yer talk o' knowin' Lulu, and now ye ain't saying much.
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
Patience, dwarf. Your presence here gives me much to think on. As a warlord of Avernus, it's taken me years of hard work to turn Fort Knucklebone into what it is. I have no interest in risking that by upsetting the balance of power in the Nine Hells. At least not yet...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Then you do know Lulu from when she was here before, at Zariel's side. Before she embraced evil.
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
Oh, I know a great many things, my dear. But I'll wager you know even more, little hollyphant. And I think I know just what might entice those forgotten memories to the fore.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And I'm sure you're offering to aid us out of the goodness of your heart?
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
Ha! Haven't much of either in stock, I'm afraid. Though I haven't checked my heart in a while. Perhaps it's still there...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I don't mean to interrupt another exciting game of 'Today's deal with the darkness,' but that rising buzzing sound is awfully familiar...
1 Defeat 25 Monsters You are welcome to Fort Knucklebone! For certain values of 'welcome' that include 'under attack by stirges and giant flies!'
2 Defeat 25 Monsters These stirges are proving a particular annoyance. Clear them out!
3 Defeat 2 Scrap Heap This trash pile is like a magnet to the giant flies and abyssal flies that swarm Fort Knucklebone. Clearing those vermin out means taking out the trash first!
4 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you fight through them, more monstrous flies are drawn in by the promise of fresh blood!
5 Defeat the Swarm of Flies A massive swarm of flies threatens to overwhelm you! Close ranks against all these airborne vermin!
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
Well, now! You are a capable bunch, aren't you? I'm feeling more positive about your unexpected arrival here every moment.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I take it you have some sort of arrangement in mind? The Champions' service in exchange for your aid in restoring Lulu's memories?
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
Most astute. I've made Fort Knucklebone into a thriving center of infernal war machine construction and repair, but... well, good help is hard to find. You can seek out and introduce yourselves to my assistants. Mickey, Chukka, Clonk, Pins and Needles, and Barnabas. Then help them get this place in order.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
So us takin' on yer general labor is easy 'nuff done. But what's tha squid procul?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
'Quid pro quo,' Bruenor.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Gesundheit, Celeste.
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
The squid procul, dwarf, is the information I gain from the hollyphant's memories along with you. I won't say I'm the only one who can prepare and perform the ritual that can draw those memories forth. But if I'm guessing right as to why so large a band of outworlders has come to Avernus, I don't think you have a lot of time to waste...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I'm uneasy about accepting the hag's bargain.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
As am I, Nayeli, but Mad Maggie is right. Time is of the essence if we're to find the Sword of Zariel. Lulu may be our only hope of doing so -- which means that Maggie is an ally we need.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Then let's get ta doin' what needs ta be done here. Come on. Keep an eye out fer them underlings Maggie was on about. 'Tis time ta get ta work!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters The flies finally flee for a well-deserved rest -- but the stirges have returned to pick up the slack.
Icon Deekin
Deekin:
Boss, look! Fiendish flesh golem straight ahead!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like ye can leave 'em be, Deekin. As long as he's workin' and not attackin', we got no beef with him.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
He's still badly damaged by the look of that limp. But wait... what's going on?
Descent Portrait Redcap
Redcap:
Oi, look at me! I'm doing the Mickey! Har!
Descent Portrait Madcap
Madcap:
Good one! My turn next! Ooh, look at me limp!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ah, evil fey making fun of an infernal construct's physical disabilities. Clearly, Mad Maggie has spared no expense with the fort's entertainment budget.
7 Defeat 25 Monsters Mickey the flesh golem's errands have stirred up the flies once again. Nip this swarming in the bud!
Descent Portrait Needles
Imp:
Hey, Mickey! You're pretty quiet today. Giant infernal grub got your tongue?!? Ha!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Listen to poor golem creature moan. Is not right what these imps do to torment Mickey this way.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Better take a good look around and remember where we are, Minsc. Avernus has got a whole lot o' 'not right' in every direction. This is small stuff here, comparatively speakin'.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Big evils, small evils... all is evils! But size matters not when Minsc fights for what is right!
Icon Portrait Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Gotta admit, I got nothin' better ta do right now. One bout o' teachin' imps some manners comin' up!
8 Collect 25 Imp Horns These imps are done making trouble for Mickey, whether they know it or not. Send these tiny fiends on their way!
9 Defeat 25 Monsters Another verminous swarm settles in -- but not for long!
10 Defeat the Shadow Imp As the stirges circle in again, a shadow imp tries to make trouble. Clear this meddlesome fiend out!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Looks like the imps have decided that tormenting the golem isn't worth their while.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Is good, then. Mickey is fine fellow. Well, fine assembled thing of body parts.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
He's still moaning, though. I think that limp has him in real pain. Minsc, help me get close to him... yes, there. Some kind of bone is wedged deep into his flesh. Removing it should help ease his suffering.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
By me gran's untreated bunions, would ya look at that? That golem's stopped their moanin' and is hummin' somethin' like a happy tune.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
In a place of evil, we'll need to remember to look for good in unusual places. But come. We need to touch base with the rest of Mad Maggie's minions.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
This place is almost unnavigable. We're going to be forever finding the rest of Mad Maggie's associates.
Descent Portrait Chukka
Chukka:
We're going to be forever finding the rest of Mad Maggie's associates! Clearly, Mad Maggie has spared no expense with the fort's entertainment budget!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, elf. Is ye hearin' some kind o' echo?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, I'm hearing some kind of Kenku mimicry. There's our pair of hilarious crowfolk, straight ahead.
11 Defeat 25 Monsters With this cloud of stirges and giant flies still surrounding you, Chukka and Clonk will have no trouble spotting you as you approach.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I hate talking to Kenku. All that mimicry is like the world's most tedious variety show.
Descent Portrait Chukka
Chukka:
Stop bothering me! I told you, I've got ritual components to prepare. We're getting dangerously low on parts for the war machines. Find the outworlders and take them with you. There've been enough battles in the wastes lately that we should be able to stock up.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Well, that was Mad Maggie's voice, so it looks like the assignment is clear.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Excellent! So much time we Champions spend collecting things, we are naturals for this!
Descent Portrait Lulu
Lulu:
Chukka? Clonk? It's me, Lulu. Do you remember...?
Descent Portrait Chukka
Chukka:
... A friend! It's me, Lulu! I've come so far... Zariel's gone... she's gone! I don't know if I can make it...
Descent Portrait Lulu
Lulu:
That's my voice... from before. But I can't... I don't remember.
12 Defeat 25 Monsters Popping back out to the hellscape of Avernus for a scavenger hunt sounds like time well spent. You just need to push through this swarm of abyssal flies first.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, elf. Ye seein' anythin'?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes, the fort behind us, where I'd rather be. No, wait... there, just off to the right. It looks like a war machine, damaged and not moving.
Descent Portrait Chukka
Chukka:
We have a winner! Bring your ticket to the front, please! All right, Avernus! Are you ready?! It's infernal war machines in a battle to the finish as the warlords of the Avernian Wastelands fight for souls and power!!!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think I'm just going to walk way in the back here...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, friend. Clonk's yer name? Ye do any talkin', or do ye leave it all ta yer partner?
Descent Portrait Clonk
Clonk:
...I'm sorry... I didn't mean to annoy you, Clonk... Don't hurt me, please!!!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
All right, then.
13 Collect 25 War Machine Pieces The scattered pieces of this shattered war machine are easily grabbed up -- or at least they would be if this force of bearded devils wasn't also intent on claiming them!
14 Defeat 25 Monsters The buzzing of hellwasps heralds a new threat! Close ranks!
15 Defeat the War Machine The bearded devils have made this war machine operational again! Take this Demon Grinder down before it gets away!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right, that's a good collection o' scrap. I think we got 'nuff ta head back.
Descent Portrait Chukka
Chukka:
You take the high road, and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Faerûn befoooooore ye!!!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, do we have to finish up so quickly? I'm enjoying this so much...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
According to Chukka, we need to look for two imps named Pins and Needles. He said he saw them earlier in raven form, working around the market.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Be good timin' fer prowlin' around tha market. I could use a bite ta eat.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
You want to hit a food cart in the Nine Hells? Are you absolutely mad?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
If I am, it's hunger pushin' me there. Look, them kenku live here, right? So it ain't all just fiends in Fort Knucklebone. Someone here's gotta know how ta make a sandwich.
16 Defeat 25 Monsters The Fort Knucklebone market is lovely at this time of day -- at least for the abyssal flies that appear to be the most numerous visitors!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ravens incoming. Could be our elusive imps.
Descent Portrait Pins
Pins:
There they are. The Chumps of Waterdeep! Yay!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We's tha Champions, friends. And oi! Ye're the two imps that made trouble fer us outside yer gates.
Descent Portrait Needles
Needles:
Yes! Such good times we had, all in fun, eh? You are clearly every bit as resourceful as Maggie said. She spoke so highly of you! Said you'd be just the ones to fix a spot of trouble.
Descent Portrait Pins
Pins:
These madcaps, you see. Like redcaps, but tainted by fiendish ichor. Tainted! They challenge Maggie's authority. Outrageous! One among them named Wazzik is most disruptive. A murderous cur! He threatened your hollyphant. Wants to kill her! He must be taught a lesson. A lesson!
Descent Portrait Needles
Needles:
A dead lesson! Meaning you should kill him. It's the only way.
Descent Portrait Pins
Pins:
The only way.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
... Well, we'll certainly take all that under advisement. Come, friends. Let's figure out what's going on here.
17 Defeat 25 Monsters Finding this murderous madcap will be easier once you drive these cursed flies and stirges back again!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's the last of those vermin driven off. Maybe we'll actually have a chance to look for this Wazzik now that... Bruenor, what in the name of fate are you eating?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Abyssal chicken kebab. Redcaps is sellin' them right over at that cart there. Not bad fer all that. Guaranteed safe fer mortals, they said.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm suddenly less hungry than I've ever been... wait, what's going on? There's a mob of madcaps heading this way.
Descent Portrait Madcap
Madcap:
You! Chumps of Waterdeep!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not that again. Should o' had some cards printed up.
Descent Portrait Madcap
Madcap:
You working for the imps now? You in on it with them?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
My fey friend, you're going to have to clarify... no, too late. They're attacking!
18 Collect 25 Madcap Hats Wazzik's madcap allies aren't taking kindly to your attempts to keep the peace. Collecting their caps might calm them down.
19 Defeat 25 Monsters You have the madcaps on the run -- but these stirges refuse to leave you alone!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The last of the madcaps have scattered, I think. Wait, no. There's one more hiding there. But it looks... unusual.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's no red cap they's wearin'. 'Tis a rainbow cap! Someone's splashed 'em with paint.
Descent Portrait Wazzik
Wazzik:
Find me the imps! They'll pay for this prank! They'll pay in blood!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Well, I think I see what's happening here. Pins and Needles will have to deal with this problem themselves, I think.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It looks like we've got problems of our own to deal with. Watch out!
20 Defeat the Hell Hound Pins and Needles' deceit has created chaos in the fort. You need to take this hell hound down, then deal with the treacherous imps!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, there them imps are. Ye two! Pins and Needles!
Descent Portrait Pins
Pins:
Sorry? Pretty sure I'd know if my name was 'Needles,' friend. You've got the wrong imp.
Descent Portrait Needles
Needles:
And no 'Pins' here. Keep looking, though, and best of luck to you!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, they scarpered fast. Pretty sure they got tha message, though.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We need to keep moving. Barnabas was the last of Mad Maggie's followers we were to look in on.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
No sign o' anyone yet 'cept more o' them redcaps. Little blighters is everywhere. Wait... what's that mob ahead up ta?
Descent Portrait Redcap
Redcap:
Quick, get the flameskull mad. Get him to speak! Speak, Barnabas!
Descent Portrait Barnabas
Barnabas:
Whspeak?!? You want me to whspeak? I will whsummon down your dewhstruction!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Flying green-flame head has quite the whistle when it speaks.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
It's not interfering with its verbal components, though. Watch out!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Never mind tha flameskull. Tha fire it's unleashin' has spooked another flock o' stirges!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters As you seek out Barnabas, the stirges of the fort seem intent on testing you once more. Take these tiny parasites down!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Barnabas! We've been sent by Mad Maggie. Please, stand down.
Descent Portrait Barnabas
Barnabas:
Oh, I'm whso whsteamed. Inwhsolent fey! A thrown rock knocked my tooth out, and these redcapwhs will all pay!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Or maybe, in tha interest o' letting Mad Maggie keep up her ritualin' and not need ta preside over tha immolation o' a big chunk o' her workforce, ye let us work on them redcaps. We'll get yer tooth back, nice and easy.
Descent Portrait Barnabas
Barnabas:
Whsee that you do.
22 Defeat 25 Monsters Looking for the redcaps that have tormented Barnabas would be easier if these clouds of flies weren't constantly obscuring your path!
23 Collect 25 Bloody Bags Any of the bloody bags these redcaps carry might be holding the missing tooth. Grab them all up!
24 Defeat 25 Monsters You have the redcaps surrounded -- even as they call their madcap kin in to their defense!
25 Defeat the Magma Mephit The redcaps release a magma mephit as a distraction -- and you're caught in a two-front fight!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, that ain't tha prettiest rescue mission we ever undertook, but it's done. Time ta get this tooth back ta tha flameskull.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
And just in time, perhaps. There's Chukka coming in at a run, and with Mad Maggie's voice.
Descent Portrait Chukka
Chukka:
Take this message, Chukka! Champions, all is prepared.
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
Champions, the ritual is prepared -- save for the most important part. Little hollyphant, are you ready to remember?
Descent Portrait Lulu
Lulu:
I... yes. I must remember the path to the Sword of Zariel. And... all else that I have forgotten.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I'm sorry, Lulu. I can only imagine how painful this might be for you.
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
For her and all the rest of you. This ritual will bind all together for a journey through the hollyphant's dreams. But watch yourselves! For these memories may hold the key to breaking the power of Avernus -- and that power will be watching.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Everythin' goin' gray... feelin' like I'm hearin' things... all o' ye talkin'...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That's the ritual's telepathic connection. Everyone hold on...
26 Defeat 25 Monsters Lulu's first dream taps into an unfamiliar peace and beauty -- but the hollyphant's idealized dreamscape is already under attack!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
All right, I gotta say, this here sight's a little less infernal than I was expectin'.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Agh! No! Make them stop!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, elf! 'Tis rabbits and pink elephants. What's ta be afraid o'?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Let's save that story for another day, shall we? And right now, attack!
27 Defeat 25 Monsters These dreamscape creatures pack a much deadlier punch than their look suggests! Watch out!
28 Collect 25 Rabbit Feet Plucking the feet from these dream rabbits might not bring you luck, but it should slow down their assault.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Something's changing. The dream is growing darker.
Descent Portrait MadMaggie
Mad Maggie:
This is repressed memory seething beneath the peace the hollyphant yearns for. The natural balance is destroyed. Watch yourselves!
29 Defeat 25 Monsters Lulu's memories turn darker -- and dread wood woads materialize within the light!
30 Defeat the Dryad A fearsome dryad means to hold you in this dreamscape! Hit all these creatures hard if you wish to break free!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Fer a fight that weren't real, I got a real good collection o' bruises off o' them wood woads.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's all right, we're through now. The dreamscape is changing. Maggie, do you know what's next?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Maggie...?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
We're in the Blood War! Watch yourselves!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Lulu and Mad Maggie are both down! The forces of hell were too strong for them. This must be Lulu's dream of betrayal, buried in her subconscious from when Zariel turned to evil.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
So what happens if them devils get ta tha hollyphant in tha dream?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't know... and we can't afford to find out!
31 Defeat 25 Monsters Spined devils press in from across this desolate infernal battlefield. Lulu and her dream of Zariel must be protected!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters The spined devils are relentless in their assault. Stand fast!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Watch yourselves! There's something gleaming on the ground ahead.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Them's steel shards, straight from Lulu's memory. Celeste, is it...?

A pulse of darkness. Some kind of portal. And devils coming through!
Icon Celeste

Another infernal assault from Lulu's memory. Can anyone see her?
Icon Bruenor

Blasted smoke's too thick ta see anything. So let's get close and finish these blighters fast!

Champions! So pleased to see you again -- and to complete our unfinished business.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye're talkin' codswallop, cambion. Ye can't get yer precious shield in this dream place any more than ye could at Candlekeep. Shoulda stayed in hidin' like tha craven ye are.
Descent Portrait KaddrusCambion
Kaddrus:
Oh, dwarf. Always the last to understand. But Celeste knows. Don't you?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I know that for you to be here, you must have known Lulu from before. Tell us what you know, cambion, and we might show you mercy.
Descent Portrait KaddrusCambion
Kaddrus:
Or I might show you the future that awaits you, Champions. And mercy will be what you beg for before the end...

Icon Nayeli

Keep your poison words, fiend. Every one of you in this dream will find the same fate that awaits those of you foolish enough to face us in Avernus. Destruction and darkness is all that awaits you now!
40 Defeat the Cambion Kaddrus summons a force of dream-devils for a final assault!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Lulu? Is she here? Can anyone see her?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
She's here, Nayeli. I feel her presence. This place is the desolation she feels in response to Zariel's fall. We're fighting her resistance to seek the truth.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And that resistance is tryin' ta drag us all down with it! Hit this sludge hard!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters The dreamscape turns even more foul, as ashen mud gives rise to countless oozes! Look sharp!
42 Defeat 25 Monsters As quickly as you dispatch these ochre jellies, more flow in to torment you!

Watch yourselves! The ground is moving!

Something's shiftin'. Tha darkness is thinnin' out.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I can see Lulu! There, still sleeping. But what is that? A spyglass?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's a symbol of the dream state. She's looking into the past, remembering! But we need to keep her safe or all is lost!
46 Defeat 25 Monsters Feral creatures of the world and the Nine Hells plague Lulu's final dream. Protect the hollyphant!

What in thunder... what's that fallin' from tha sky?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Conch shells. Lulu's dream is going tropical, apparently.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And it's addin' a musical chorus ta boot. Them shell horns is all blowin'!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
No, listen! That's Lulu's trumpeting. She's remembering what happened -- and trying to wake herself.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And these fiends are trying to prevent it. Come on!
48 Collect 25 Conch Shell Horns These horns won't be able to wake Lulu if the devils seize them. Grab them all, and quickly!

But I can't... so sad... Zariel, why? Why?!

If that vision hits as hard as tha rest o' these dreams, sleepin' Lulu don't stand a chance!

That dream was your memory, Lulu, of what happened before. The Sword of Zariel? Did you see it?

... Yes. I remember now. The sword. Zariel's spark! I know where it is!
Icon Bruenor
