Search for Ulder Ravengard to gain a grasp on the city's next steps.
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Careful. Darkness ahead. And this hallway looks like it's one solid tremor away from total collapse.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Tha crypts can't be far off. Everybody stay sharp.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Wait... listen. There's an annoyingly familiar scuttling sound coming from behind us. Abyssal crabs! They're moving for the crypts as well.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Already fought as many o' them curse-blighted crustaceans as I wanna.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, I'm sure if you explain that to them, we can all just work this out.
1 Defeat 25 Monsters The crypts beneath the High Hall stand before you -- but you aren't the only ones seeking them!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you drive these abyssal crabs back, still more take their place!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Watch yer footin' everyone. These floors is slick with somethin'.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
That's fiendish ichor. Devils who die on their home planes leave it behind. The battles between them and the demons assaulting Avernus have taken a toll.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That ichor holds power. And as long as we're in the Nine Hells, it might have value to us. There's no telling what kind of ritual magic we'll need to engage in to return Elturel to the world.
3 Collect 25 Vials of Ichor You need to collect this fiendish ichor -- but it won't be easy in the middle of a bearded devil assault!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
These fiends have brought their lackeys with them, I see. All the devil cultists in Elturel must be celebrating.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks more like fear on them faces ta me. They're bein' used as combat fodder, and they know it.
Icon Portrait Erinyes
Erinyes:
Close ranks! Clear out these defenders! The souls of those who hide in the crypts belong to Zariel!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And there's the one sending these cultists to their doom. We need to take that fiend down before her forces can reach the crypt.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Gonna need ta reach her first. Come on!
4 Defeat 25 Monsters The devils and their cultist allies have you surrounded!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Stand, fiend! How brave are you without your minions, I wonder?
Icon Portrait Erinyes
Erinyes:
You dare challenge me, human? You stand on my ground. You cower, surrounded by my forces. You live at my whim, and you die when I order it.
Descent Portrait Lulu
Lulu:
She's bluffing. I see the fear in her. A devil destroyed in the Nine Hells is destroyed for all time. That's why she sends cultists against us instead of her own allies!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Indeed. And it'll be a rare pleasure destroying you in Avernus, fiend. Knowing that you won't come back. Knowing that there's nothing left for you but darkness.
5 Defeat the Erinyes This force of cultists protects their erinyes master! Taking down this fiend will break their resolve!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The last of the cultists are scattering.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Straight back ta them devils patrollin' outside tha High Hall. Whatever punishment they get'll serve 'em right.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
However long a respite we get, it'll have been worth it. Minsc, did you see what's ahead?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
We are through, Celeste! The crypts are ahead, and Elturel guards are waiting.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Then let's move quickly. Everyone, there's safe refuge ahead at last.
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
Stay in the light where we can see you, please. And be warned -- we've killed more than our share of devil cultists posing as allies these past days.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I promise you have nothing to fear from us. We've come from Faerûn, to try to save Elturel if we can. And we've brought folk from the city who need refuge.
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
So many...! Come, quickly everyone. My friends, I'm sorry to have doubted you. Bring the wounded over here, we have people who can tend to them. I'm Pherria Jynks, acolyte of Torm.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Well met, Pherria. We'll lend you what magical aid we can... wait. What's that sound?
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
Oh, no. Another zombie attack! The power of Avernus is raising the dead of the crypts.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And we can lend you aid with that as well. Everyone to me!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters Swarms of flies follow the zombies who stalk the crypts. Look sharp!
7 Defeat 25 Monsters The survivors of Elturel remain under assault. Clear these undead out!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's tha last o' them zombies sent back ta their rest. Now maybe we can... ah, by me gran's best set o' hobnail boots! I know that scratchin' sound comin' in from tha dark. Abyssal chickens!
Icon Portrait TemplarWizard
Hariel:
At last! Get ready, everyone!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! Hariel, was it? Ye ain't set up ta fight these tiny fiends. Get ye and yer friends back and let tha Champions take care o' this.
Icon Portrait TemplarWizard
Hariel:
But you don't understand. Our food stores were already taxed even before the new survivors arrived. But these abyssal chickens are everywhere! We were forced to eat them when we first came here, but it turns out they just taste like... well, chicken.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Indeed? Let me check my pack. I think I might have some stores of spice rub for emergencies.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi, elf! Ye're buyin' inta this?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I'm just pointing out that we have nothing to eat except possibly toxic ash-rations. If I'm going to die in the Nine Hells, I'd like to have one passable meal before I go.
8 Collect 25 Roast Racks With survivors to feed, you can't afford to be choosy with your rations. Looks like abyssal chicken is on the menu!
9 Defeat 25 Monsters Zombies make another assault -- and these abyssal chickens are getting in the way of your counterstrike!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
That's the last of them cleared out, I think. Pherria, there's much we don't know. Fill us in, and quickly. Are you in charge here?
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
Only because those who should be in charge have gone off on a mission. Duke Ulder Ravengard brought us down to the crypts, fighting every step of the way. But then he took a squad of soldiers to the cemetery in search of some magic item said to be hidden below the chapel.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Ulder Ravengard? The Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate? What was he doing in Elturel when the city was taken?
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
A diplomatic mission, he said. He talked as though it were some sort of plot. But Duke Ravengard and his force should have been back from the cemetery by now, and I fear the worst.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
A plot of Duke Thalamra Vanthampur's no doubt. She knew what was to befall Elturel. So she sent Ravengard here to keep him out of the way of her plans to seize power in Baldur's Gate.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, he'll be pleased ta hear o' recent political developments, no doubt. But... oi! Listen up!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Looks like more zombies on the move. And they've got someone leading them this time... wait... it can't be...
10 Defeat the Resurrected Hero of the Vale Oh, but it is! The unexpected return of the Hero of the Vale threatens all! Clear these crypts out one last time!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Unbelievable. The Hero of the Vale returns once more. His soul must have wound up in Avernus. More fodder for the fiends' armies.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
'Tis too strange ta ponder on. But it makes me wonder who else we might find down here before tha end...?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We have more things to worry about in the short term. If Ravengard is overdue returning from the cemetery, we need to go after him. I don't know what magic item he was searching for, but if he was willing to leave these survivors behind, it must have been important.
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
The cemetery is easy to reach. Well, as easy as getting anywhere in the city right now.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not ta worry, lass. Ye got 'nuff able hands and weapons here ta defend yerselves fer a while.
Descent Portrait Lulu
Lulu:
And me! I'll stay here if that's all right, Bruenor. I'm not much of a fighter, I'm afraid...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Sounds a good plan ta me, Lulu. And as long as tha Champions is bright and visible on tha streets, maybe we'll help draw off any reinforcements tryin' ta get down here. Come on, everybody. Let's move.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right. We got ta tha cemetery straightforward 'nuff. Let's hope tha way inside is just as easy.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I wouldn't count on it. This wrought-iron fencing looks as though something's been chewing on it. And the gates have been torn down.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I sense fiends ahead... and undead...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
So it'll be slightly slower goin', then. Let's see what we got...
11 Defeat 25 Monsters Imps and dretches appear to be fighting for control of the cemetery -- and you need to get through them both!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Okay, I expected to find a fight here. But this is six different fights at least!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The devils and the demons are facing off for control of the site. They've brought their Blood War battle from the shores of the Styx into the city in full force.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And these undead is a nasty wild card. Where is they comin' from?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
By their garb, at least some of them were the keepers of this place. But they're more focused on fighting the demons than on fighting us...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, that ain't gonna make tha goin' any easier until we get out o' this graveyard and inside tha chapel. Come on!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters Bearded devils and quasits hit you from both sides as another fiendish battle erupts around you! Push on!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
This outbuilding must have been some sort of quarters for the cemetery's priests. The battle that took place here must have been fierce.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'm guessin' tha battle ain't over. Undead is comin' in!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Look there! Those scattered papers are some kind of journal. They might tell us what happened here!
13 Collect 25 Journal Pages The writings of the cemetery's missing keepers are a potentially valuable clue. Grab these pages before the undead destroy them!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This was the journal of Gideon Lightward, the high priest here. But... oh, my. These writings are madness.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Lot o' that goin' around Elturel recently, it seems.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
What Thavius Kreeg did was malice, not madness. Gideon claims to have been visited by angels, warning him that demons would take over Elturel. Devils in disguise, I would guess. Preparing him as an ally after Elturel's fall.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
He spoke of suspecting the priests who served with him of being demon allies. He swore to kill them. That was the fight that tore through this place, no doubt. We need to find him if he's alive. Help him undo the damage he's wrought if we can.
14 Defeat 25 Monsters Zombies and skeletons pursue as you press through the graveyard once more. Move!
15 Defeat the Minotaur Skeletons Vicious minotaur skeletons have laid claim to this section of the cemetery. Take these undead down!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters Packs of roving zombies are drawn to the sounds of battle. Don't let them hem you in!
Descent Portrait GiddeonLightward
Gideon Lightward:
Heathens! Demon spawn! By the grace of the angels that guide me, I will see you all laid low!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Guessin' that's our missin' mad priest right there.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Gideon! You've been lied to. The angels that spoke to you were fiends of Avernus, intent on Elturel's fall. Please, help us to...
Descent Portrait GiddeonLightward
Gideon Lightward:
Speak your lies no more, servant of the Abyss! I will raise still more of my faithful to vanquish you!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
He's runnin' -- and is gonna raise more undead unless we can get ta him!
17 Defeat 25 Monsters The master of these undead stands against you -- and his servants renew their assault!
18 Collect 25 Wicked Tridents Opportunistic mezzoloths protect Gideon Lightward. Disarm these mercenaries to thin their ranks!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters You have the mezzoloths at a standstill -- but another mob of Elturel ghouls turns the battlefield into chaos!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There he is. Friends, try to restrain him. Celeste's magic might be able to restore his mind.
Descent Portrait GiddeonLightward
Gideon Lightward:
Blasphemer. I will lay down my life before allowing the touch of your unclean hands. But I will see as many of you as I can returned to the chaos you worship before the end!
20 Defeat the Gideon Lightward Removing this mad priest from the fight might be the only thing that can stem this undead tide!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Whatever's addlin' that priest's mind ain't messin' with his reflexes none. He's scarpered again.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Gone to raise more undead. We need to stop him! Come on!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters Patrols of bearded devils are guarding something ahead in the cemetery. But what?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There's something ahead... I sense the power of undeath growing stronger.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I feel it too. Powerful magic... centered in that pit just ahead.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Gideon must be using the pit for mass raisings. And he's getting these devils to dig up the bodies of the dead to do it!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Time ta break that first link in his supply chain, then. Hit all these fiends hard!
22 Defeat 25 Monsters You need to drive these bearded devils from the cemetery grounds -- and an attack by quasit scouts gives you a chance!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We're making headway against the devils. Now we need to shut down the magic of this place.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The pit can't function if its magic can't be reached. Fill it in, and quickly! It might be the only way to stem this undead tide!
23 Defeat 25 Monsters Bearded devils regroup to protect the pit. You need to destroy this site to end its threat!
24 Defeat 25 Monsters A flight of vrock demons attacks the bearded devils as you fall back -- but you're caught in the crossfire!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
There! Our friend Gideon is bolting for the chapel. And he's got a force of undead with him.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Then we have even more reason to get there. Gideon might have killed Ulder Ravengard already, but the magic the duke sought might still be down below!
25 Defeat the Barbed Devil A great barbed devil tries to regroup its forces against the vrocks! But reaching the cemetery chapel means needing to get past all these fiends!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Dinna see nothin' on tha chapel upper levels but fallen undead and rubble. Looks like we're goin' down.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Lots of movement on these stairs. More movement down this hall. Bootprints, clawed feet. Devils and more.
Icon NPC Boo
Boo:
Squeak!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It's the boot tracks we need to focus on. Hopefully it was Ravengard and his forces coming this way.
26 Defeat 25 Monsters Demonic hordes fill the corridors below the chapel. Push through them, and quickly!
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Fernax:
Halt! Who goes there?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
New friends o' yers, if I recognize that insignia o' Elturel. We're here lookin' fer Duke Ravengard. Are ye one o' his?
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Fernax:
Yes! And thank the gods you've come. I'm the last one left. Duke Ravengard is alive, but... well, you'd best see for yourselves. Help me drive these fiends back! Then follow me!
27 Defeat 25 Monsters Ravengard is alive! But this quasit patrol does its best to hold you fast, even as dretches and abyssal chickens circle in!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
My word... what's going on?
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Fernax:
Duke Ravengard lies where you see him, my lady, caught up in some magical fit. That's the Helm of Torm's Sight he's wearing. A relic we came here to claim. He was convinced that it would show him some vision that would help to save Elturel. But you can see him now -- shouting gibberish, his mind gone.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like dark magic ta me. Best we get that helm off right quick.
Icon Portrait GralhundGuard
Fernax:
No! I tried before, and the duke began to scream. I fear removing it might kill him.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I think you're right. But if we can get the duke back to the High Hall, I might be able to undertake a ritual that can help him. We need to bring him with us. Carefully, now.
28 Collect 25 Vrock Feathers The lesser fiends fall back as a vrock pack attacks from the air! You need to ground some of these fliers, and quickly!
29 Defeat 25 Monsters You have the vrocks on the run, but the sudden appearance of abyssal chickens turns the fight into chaos!
30 Defeat the Minotaur A guardian minotaur has been driven to mad rage by this demonic incursion. Getting Ravengard to safety means getting past!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
How's Ravengard doin'?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
No better. These words he's speaking... they're familiar to me, but I can't place them. We need to get him to safety, and quickly.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye heard Celeste. Start lookin' fer tha fastest way out o' here. We ain't got time ta worry about which o' tha devils and tha demons lays claim ta this place. Gettin' Ravengard back ta tha High Hall's tha mission now!
31 Defeat 25 Monsters The last stretch of the chapel dungeon is swarming with foul undead. Clear these crawling claws out!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters Roving zombie packs join the fray. Push past them!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
There's action at the undead pit again. Looks like Gideon's ghouls are trying to dig it out.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Pretty sure that flight o' vrocks circlin' in is gonna keep 'em busy 'nuff. Can we get by 'em?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Too late. The vrocks have spotted us as well!

Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think we've got trouble. Well, more trouble. One of the priests Gideon killed is back. And looking a bit undead.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
No doubt these devils all appear as angels to it, thanks to Gideon's programming. We need to take this creature down!
35 Defeat the Zombie Cleric You're holding your own against the fiends, but the power of a zombie cleric will tip the balance of this fight against you!
36 Defeat 25 Monsters You leave the main battle behind you, but a patrol of lesser imps seems intent on getting in your way.

Ravengard is fading fast. This journey is taking too much of a toll on him.

These devils ain't takin' any excuse ta back down from this fight! We gotta clear these blighters out ta tha last, or we ain't gettin' out o' here!

Bruenor:
One on one, these dretches ain't nothin' ta fight -- but these numbers is overwhelmin'!
Icon Minsc

Minsc hopes for sudden distraction! Alarm these fiends to scatter them!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Wait... do you feel that? The ground's breaking apart! Watch yourselves!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Yes, just like that! Well done!

Descent Portrait GiddeonLightward
Gideon Lightward:
There you are! Stand, demon spawn! The power of this place will be your undoing!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Stay your hand, Gideon! Look at what you've done to these poor people. What's been done to you! The fiends are the enemy here. They're fighting over Elturel, and if either side wins, it means the end!
Descent Portrait GiddeonLightward
Gideon:
Save your deceptions, servant of the chaos. I know my place. I know my duty!

We can't keep fighting wave after wave of undead. We're going to run out of healing at some point.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Just keep hittin' 'em, Nayeli. Try not ta think about it.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The cloth on these undead are fresher than most of the cloth around here. Let's see if we can collect some for bandages.

Gideon, stand down. This madness of yours can be cured, I promise you. The fiends have you in their grasp. Don't let them win.
Descent Portrait GiddeonLightward
Gideon Lightward:
I know your honeyed words. I've been warned against them, and I will not heed! I will destroy you all! For Elturel!
45 Defeat the Gideon Lightward Gideon Lightward's corruption cannot be undone. For the sake of the survivors of Elturel, he must pay for his madness.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I'm sorry. There was no other way.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We all know that, Nayeli. This is another sad loss for Elturel. The treason of Thavius Kreeg continues to sow its dark seeds.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Yeah, that weren't a fight I wanted, but it's done. And we gotta keep movin'. Duke Ravengard still ain't wakin', and if more devils is comin', we don't wanna get caught out. Come on!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
All right. Tha streets seem safe. We cleared 'nuff o' them devil patrols out that we got a straight shot back ta tha crypts, I think.

Hold that thought. Something's moving in behind us. Zombies!

And something ahead! Bird fiends!

Squeak!
Icon Bruenor

Feh. Gonna be one o' them nights, then.
46 Defeat 25 Monsters You're clear of the cemetery, but roving packs of zombies and abyssal chickens block your return to the High Hall. Push through!
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Friends, follow. Minsc finds different route through to crypts. Empty halls. Much easier, I think.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not a bad idea. We don't wanna bring more enemies followin' us inta tha refuge.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yes, about that. Minsc, walk me through this 'empty' concept you speak of?
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
'Empty' is clear of devils. No fiends to worry about. Abyssal chickens, bye bye.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, that's a relief. Also, look out!

These eyes ain't got tha range o' yers, elf. What is it we're lookin' fer?

Large. Eight legs. Animated by powerful necromancy. Trying to kill us all. And moving in really fast!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right. Fine warnin', there. Everybody move!

Where am I... no, wait. I remember. Pherria, is everyone still safe?
Descent Portrait PherriaJynx
Pherria:
For now, and with thanks to the Champions. But we're trapped here. The city is still under siege.
Descent Portrait Ravenguard
Ravengard:
That's all right. It worked. The Helm of Torm's sight worked. The visions I've seen... I think I know how Elturel might be saved.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's tha first bit o' good news we've had since we got here, duke. Let's get our wounded patched up and make sure these crypts is secure again. Then ye should tell us everythin' ye know.
