| Follow Lulu's dream across Avernus as you search for the sword! | ||||||
| Area | Goal | Quests & Cinematics | ||||
![]() Lulu: |
I know where we need to go! I do, I know! Oh, but it's an awful place, friends. So much evil there... | |||||
Bruenor: |
Given where we're startin' from, I'd be surprised if it were anythin' but, little hollyphant. But ye're sure this Haruman's Hill is where Zariel's sword was hid? | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
As sure as I am of anything, Bruenor. The dream is so dark. So much shadow. But I know what I saw. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Given how the horizon gets farther away every time I look at it, I expect there's no way to tell how far this journey will actually be. Time for another endless walk. | |||||
![]() Mad Maggie: |
No, I don't think that'll do, drow. There'll be too many eyes watching for you now. Too many with an interest in keeping your quest from being fulfilled. But I might be able to help with that. Pins! Needles! Go find Chukka and Clonk. Tell them to get that new war machine ready to roll. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Oh, excellent. An excursion across Avernus on a hundred tons of high-speed, soul-fueled scrap metal. What could possibly go wrong...? | |||||
| 1 | Defeat 25 Monsters | It looks like it's goodbye to Fort Knucklebone -- but these stirges and giant flies just don't want to let you go! | ||||
| 2 | Defeat 25 Monsters | On the plus side, the stirges and the giant flies have been driven off by abyssal flies! On the minus side, abyssal flies! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Oi, look there! Them imps is sellin' abyssal chicken roast racks. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
I can't believe you're still eating the food here. How are you not dead, Bruenor? Or are you dead? I mean, we're actually in the Nine Hells. Would we be able to tell...? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Less yackin' and more snackin', elf. Come on. | |||||
| 3 | Collect 25 Roast Racks | Heading out across Avernus means you'll need supplies -- and you don't have time to be choosy. Grab up these roast racks for the road! | ||||
| 4 | Defeat 25 Monsters | These abyssal chickens aren't taking lightly to being on the lunch menu! | ||||
| 5 | Defeat the Dretch | The abyssal chickens regroup for one last assault -- and a marauding dretch looks keen to join the fight! | ||||
Minsc: |
Something hit Minsc hard in the head for that fight. All this roaring sound is still in ears. | |||||
Boo: |
Squeak? | |||||
Celeste: |
That's not your ears, Minsc. It's coming from outside the gate. It sounds like Chukka and Clonk are getting our war machine ready to go. Let's have a look, shall we? | |||||
![]() Chukka: |
Oh, it's like nothing else, I tell you. The feel of the hot hell-wind in your face. The sound of bodies ground to powder under your wheels. So what, my friends, will it take to get you into a new infernal war machine today?! | |||||
Bruenor: |
So... I guess this is it? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
From the way the kenku is bounding around, I'd say so. It does seem to be missing multiple layers of armor. | |||||
Celeste: |
Come now, Jarlaxle. It's a free vehicle, and a chance to get ahead of any pursuit. It may not look as formidable as some of the other war machines we've seen, but I'm sure it's just... oh, my. I'm sorry, Chukka? Will you be able to put this door back on for us? | |||||
![]() Chukka: |
Well, I'd love to talk but look at the time... the time... time to go, go, go, go, GO!!! | |||||
Bruenor: |
I think this crow's meanin' he's noticed he left tha brakes off this thing. 'Tis rollin'! Champions, get on board this war rig! We gotta ride! | |||||
| 6 | Defeat 25 Monsters | On this infernal war machine, you should make good time -- if these packs of stirges and abyssal chickens ever get out of your way! | ||||
| 7 | Defeat 25 Monsters | More of the local fauna seems intent on becoming Avernus roadkill. Hang on! | ||||
Nayeli: |
Bruenor, I can't help but notice that we're spending an awful lot of time running into things. | |||||
Bruenor: |
This dwarf's doin' his best, Nayeli. But these war machine controls is leavin' lots ta be desired. Like tryin' ta drive a mine cart with square wheels, this is. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Deekin! I told you to get down into the drive train space and see if anything needs tightening. | |||||
Deekin: |
Deekin has been and is back. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
And? | |||||
Deekin: |
DOOOOOOOM!!! | |||||
| 8 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Here come the stirges! | ||||
Jarlaxle: |
Bruenor, look sharp! That plume of dust ahead. It's another war machine closing in. Hard left! | |||||
Bruenor: |
I'm crankin' hard left, and we're still goin' right! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Then hard right! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Tried that already and we went harder right! Just hang on! | |||||
| 9 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Another war machine is closing in. Get these flying vermin out of your way and keep moving! | ||||
Nayeli: |
The other war machine is coming alongside. Gods, that stench! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Look at the gore crusted onto that thing. Deekin, make a note: Avernus Infernal War Machine Wash. Research franchise opportunities. | |||||
Deekin: |
Doom... | |||||
![]() Raggadragga: |
Oi, there! Bold of you to not try to outrun us. Not that it would have helped. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Weren't so much bold as a serious lack o' steerin', friend. But now that ye're here, what do ye want? | |||||
![]() Raggadragga: |
It's Raggadragga to you, 'friend.' We'll take information for a start. Rumors out of Fort Knucklebone say you've got some stories to tell -- especially that hollyphant of yours. Then when we're done with the interrogations, we'll see how much we can sell you for! Goreguts Gang! Take these outworlders down! | |||||
Celeste: |
They just launched something from their war machine! Get ready! | |||||
| 10 | Defeat the Bone Devil | Raggadragga sends in a bone devil! Hit it hard! | ||||
Nayeli: |
I'd say nice work ramming that demon grinder, Bruenor. But I'm guessing our war machine mostly did that on its own? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Ain't gonna lie, I'm feelin' like just lettin' this thing steer itself would be a better use o' me time. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
At least we've left those lycanthropes in the dust... wait. What's that clattering sound? | |||||
Minsc: |
Watch out, friends! Rats and pig-people are hanging off war machine's sides. They are climbing up! | |||||
![]() Raggadragga: |
Insolent outworlders! You destroy my demon grinder? You think you can make me look a fool? | |||||
Bruenor: |
Pretty sure ye had that one covered well 'nuff on yer own, wereboar. And fer yer information, this ain't no coach cab! Champions! Clear these riffraff off! | |||||
| 11 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Raggadragga and his followers have lost their ride -- and are intent on claiming yours! | ||||
| 12 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Hitting these lycanthropes hard has the wererats scattering -- but the wereboars are made of tougher stuff! | ||||
| 13 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The lycanthropes continue to launch themselves toward us! | ||||
| 14 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You drive the wereboar assault back -- but that only gives the wererat pack a chance to close in around you! | ||||
![]() Raggadragga: |
Get to the helm! Seize this machine! Send these outworlders to their doom! | |||||
Nayeli: |
These lycanthropes won't give up! | |||||
Bruenor: |
'Cause they don't wanna get dumped out here in tha middle o' nowhere. But better them than us! | |||||
| 15 | Defeat the Raggadragga | Raggadragga regroups his forces for a final assault! Hit this lycanthrope horde one last time! | ||||
Nayeli: |
I think that's the last of the lycanthropes cleared out. Lulu, are we still on course? | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
I think so, Nayeli... yes! There, ahead! | |||||
Bruenor: |
I don't see nothin' ahead but Avernus. This blasted hellscape all looks tha same ta me. | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
I can feel it, Bruenor. Haruman's Hill is straight ahead. I remember. We just need to keep moving. | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Easier said than done, I think. Watch out! | |||||
| 16 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The open road ahead just got closed off again! Packs of devils are on the hunt! | ||||
![]() Bearded Devil: |
Circle around! Seize that war machine! These outworlders must be brought back to Elturel to be counted and reckoned! | |||||
Nayeli: |
Oh, we'll be coming back to Elturel, fiend. And when we do, the city and all its people will return with us to the mortal realm. | |||||
![]() Bearded Devil: |
Fool. Do you know the power you deal with? Do you reckon the bargain that has been made? | |||||
Nayeli: |
Consider that bargain broken, fiend. Even if it takes destroying Zariel herself to see it done! | |||||
| 17 | Defeat 25 Monsters | As fast as you knock these bearded devils off the war machine, still more clamber aboard! | ||||
| 18 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Clearing this devil horde might be the only way to slow down this assault! | ||||
| 19 | Defeat 25 Monsters | As the imps run interference, the bearded devils regroup! | ||||
| 20 | Defeat the Barbed Devil | A powerful barbed devil steps up to lead a final assault! Hit all these fiends hard! | ||||
Bruenor: |
That's tha last o' them. By me gran's grade-school garters, them fiends is relentless. | |||||
Celeste: |
I'm more worried about the ones that didn't attack. I saw some of those imps falling back from the edge of the fray. If they take word of our journey back to their masters, we'll face more dangerous forces than them before the end. | |||||
| 21 | Defeat 25 Monsters | No more signs of devils ahead -- but packs of abyssal chickens are everywhere! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Every way I turn, there's more o' them tiny monsters runnin'... wait. What in tha Nine Hells is that? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Given where we are, that feels a bit vague as a cliffhanger exclamation. Can you be more specific? | |||||
Bruenor: |
What I'm seein' specifically is gnolls runnin' straight at us from every direction! | |||||
Nayeli: |
It's a roving warband! They're climbing on board! | |||||
| 22 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Trying to avoid these accursed chickens has slowed you down -- and these marauding gnolls are taking advantage to try to hitch a lift! | ||||
| 23 | Defeat 25 Monsters | These gnolls hit hard. Let's hit back harder. | ||||
| 24 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The gnolls begin to break -- but a sudden influx of abyssal chickens turns the fight to chaos! | ||||
Minsc: |
Gnolls are regrouping! Hit them hard, drive them back! Hit now! | |||||
Nayeli: |
Wait... what is that they've got with them? | |||||
Celeste: |
That's a shoosuva! A hyena-demon sent by Yeenoghu to serve a powerful pack leader. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Feh. Fought 'nuff oversized dogs in me day that I ain't worried about this one. Oi, fido! Get yerself front and center up here, and let's see what ye've got! | |||||
| 25 | Defeat the Shoosuva | The gnolls make a final assault -- with this dread demonic shoosuva at the front of the pack! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Any more gnolls ta be seen? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Just the ones bouncing gently along the road behind us. I think we're good. | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
Look! Bruenor, there! Go, go! | |||||
Celeste: |
Lulu, wait! Don't fly off on your own! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
She's heading for... there! Where the dust is clearing. That hill. And there's something on it. Trees? But they look... wrong. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Must be that Haruman's Hill tha hollyphant remembered. I'll get us in closer, then everybody pile off tha war machine. And be ready fer whatever's out there... | |||||
Celeste: |
Oh, gods no. This place... what is this? | |||||
Deekin: |
Doom... | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
I'm sorry, Celeste. This place is the site of Haruman's vengeance. He was one of Zariel's Hellriders, and most devoted to her. When the Hellriders deserted Zariel's cause, he hunted many down. Punishing them. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Punishing... this is torture! Betrayers or not, these poor souls deserve whatever rest the gods will grant them. We need to end this. | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
Be careful, Nayeli! Freeing even one of the condemned will bring Haruman down upon us. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Then we'll free them all at once. Celeste? | |||||
Celeste: |
Yes... there may be a way. Give me time to think. | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
We must reach the summit of the hill first. I remember... something there. Something important. Come on! | |||||
| 26 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You need to reach the top of Haruman's Hill, and quickly. But swarming stirges promise to make the ascent a slow one. | ||||
| 27 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Abyssal crabs patrol the lower reaches of the hill. Crack through these fiendish crustaceans! | ||||
| 28 | Collect 25 Crab Shell Fragments | Shell fragments from the crabs you're smashing through will make effective stirge swatters. Grab them up! | ||||
| 29 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You're making better time in your ascent, but the guardians of the hill are relentless. | ||||
| 30 | Defeat the Chain Devil | A chain devil steps forth to block your route forward. Take this fiend down! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Them steel trees is never-endin'. Hard ta even look at them poor blighters stuck up there. And each one with an inscription above 'em. 'Betrayed Zariel,' each and every one. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Impaled but never dying. Fed on endlessly by stirges. This is evil beyond comprehension. | |||||
Bruenor: |
I dunno. Tha more time we spend in this place, tha better at comprehendin' evil I feel like I'm gettin'... | |||||
![]() Madcap: |
Stop! Passports on display, please. What? No papers? Most irregular. | |||||
![]() Madcap: |
Irregular! | |||||
![]() Madcap: |
IRREGULAR!!! | |||||
![]() Madcap: |
Mortals who wish to see the sights of Haruman's Hill should seek the master. He who will extend your... invitation. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Your master's control of this place ends today, fey. The only question is: Will you be smart enough to get out of our way? Or will you face his fate alongside him? | |||||
| 31 | Defeat 25 Monsters | You're near the halfway mark of the ascent -- but the madcaps that control this area have no intention of letting you pass! | ||||
| 32 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Hitting the madcaps full force is impossible while these stirges continue to swarm. Clear these flying vermin out! | ||||
| 33 | Collect 25 Madcap Hats | The madcaps' blood-soaked headwear fuels their frenetic power. Steal all these caps! | ||||
| 34 | Defeat 25 Monsters | More stirges swarm as the madcaps fall back. Push through! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Finally, we're makin' some headway against them blasted madcaps. Send these blighters down tha hill and rollin' back ta where they came from! | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
We're getting close to the ascent. I think I can see it through these accursed trees. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Oi! What's that infernal shriekin' comin' from ahead? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
Actually, that's an abyssal shrieking coming from ahead. You need to keep up. | |||||
| 35 | Defeat the Chasme | A chasme demon seeking to sow chaos on Avernus assaults the defenders of Haruman's Hill -- and you're caught in the middle! | ||||
| 36 | Defeat 25 Monsters | As fast as you scatter them, these madcaps continue to regroup. Hit them harder! | ||||
| 37 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The madcaps and the stirges are both faltering as you near the summit. One last push! | ||||
| 38 | Collect 25 Imp Horns | Lesser imps swarm the summit of Haruman's Hill. Collecting souvenirs from these tiny fiends might send them scattering! | ||||
Nayeli: |
Lulu, stay back from the trees! We don't yet know what kind of magic they hold. | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
It's all right, Nayeli. I'll be careful. I just... thought I saw someone... oh, Jander, no. | |||||
![]() Jander Sunstar: |
Lulu...? No... these are dark dreams. I thought you escaped... thought you were... free... | |||||
Nayeli: |
A vampire, impaled on one of Haruman's trees? Lulu, who is this? | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
Jander Sunstar, who redeemed his corruption by serving good. One of Zariel's faithful... until he broke and ran during the Hellrider charge. He fled back to Elturel... and sealed the gate behind him to ensure that no one else could escape. | |||||
![]() Jander Sunstar: |
My life, told as a tale...? Not as heroic... as I would have hoped. Lulu, please... I cannot bear this suffering. End this for me... | |||||
Nayeli: |
We will end it, vampire. For all of you. Whatever your crimes, you'll have your chance to plead before those who will judge your soul fairly. But first, think a while on the souls your cowardice might yet destroy. Everyone in Elturel, paying the price now for your betrayal. | |||||
| 39 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The imps are on the run -- but these swarming stirges make it all but impossible to close against them! | ||||
| 40 | Defeat the Greater Imp | A greater imp leads its lesser kin in a final assault! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Celeste, are ye all right? Ye're stayin' dangerous close ta them trees. | |||||
Celeste: |
I'm fine, Bruenor. Just assessing the magic that holds the Hellriders here. It's an old dweomer -- and weaker than it once was. I think I know a ritual that might break it, and release all the Hellriders at once. But we'll need some unpleasant ingredients. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Well, if unpleasant's on tha shoppin' list, we're definitely in tha right place. | |||||
| 41 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The imps are in a state of chaos with their leader vanquished -- and are bringing that chaos straight to you! | ||||
| 42 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The last of the imps are ready to break -- but a flock of stirges seeking fresh blood joins the fight! | ||||
Celeste: |
There! Those stirges coming toward the hill. They've fed, and recently. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Most likely they've been swarming patrols in the wastes. | |||||
Celeste: |
Which means they've fed on both blood and fiendish ichor. The power of that vile combination can be used in the ritual. Quickly, friends! Help me claim it! | |||||
| 43 | Collect 25 Vials of Fiend Blood | The tainted blood held by these bloated stirges holds the power to free the Hellriders trapped on Haruman's Hill. Squeeze these parasites dry! | ||||
| 44 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The stirges aren't taking kindly to your assault. Stand fast! | ||||
| 45 | Defeat the Bone Devil | A bone devil patrolling the wastes is drawn to the sound of the fight -- and means to make an example of you! | ||||
| 46 | Defeat 25 Monsters | It's time to end Jander's suffering -- but these swarming abyssal flies won't make it easy for you! | ||||
| 47 | Defeat 25 Monsters | The imps you routed earlier have regrouped -- and are out for revenge! | ||||
Bruenor: |
Look sharp! Hellwasps is comin' in! | |||||
Celeste: |
With perfect timing. Their fiendish venom can be broken down by the ritual, letting its corrupting essence burn away the bonds that hold the Hellriders here. Hurry, friends! We're almost there! | |||||
| 48 | Collect 25 Vials of Hellwasp Venom | Hellwasp venom is the last ingredient needed to free the souls bound here. Collect it quickly! | ||||
Celeste: |
Almost ready... almost... there! The ritual is complete! | |||||
Bruenor: |
And tha Hellriders is startin' ta vanish, up and down tha hill! | |||||
![]() Jander Sunstar: |
At last... so long. Thank you. Gods forgive me... Zariel... Lulu... forgive me... | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
Forgive... how can I? What he did to Zariel... Aagghh! No! Get away! | |||||
Bruenor: |
Watch out! More hellwasps comin' in! And they grabbed up Lulu! | |||||
![]() Lulu: |
No! Let me go! Help me! Please! | |||||
Celeste: |
Lulu! Hang on! I can't get to her... | |||||
Bruenor: |
They're headin' over tha hill, and there's a storm o' stirges comin' in! We gotta catch up! | |||||
Nayeli: |
There! Lulu's managing to fight them, slowing them down. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Not as much as these blasted wasps is slowin' us down. Wait... what's that ahead? | |||||
Jarlaxle: |
More of those steel trees are forming. With more inscriptions on them... oh, lovely. | |||||
Celeste: |
Those are our names. Every one of the Champions is there. And all with the same inscription of sentencing... | |||||
Bruenor: |
'Offense -- Assaultin' an officer...' Looks ta me like this Haruman's got in mind that we're gonna be stickin' around. Have ta hope he shows up so we can explain ta him that we got a hollyphant ta catch. Come on! | |||||
| 49 | Defeat 25 Monsters | Keeping Lulu in sight means clearing the summit of Haruman's Hill! But swarms of hellwasps and stirges circle around to hem you in! | ||||
Nayeli: |
Something's coming... I sense the presence of great evil! | |||||
![]() Haruman: |
You sense the coming of justice, Champion. And you will feel that justice this day. | |||||
Nayeli: |
Haruman, your work is done here. The Hellriders have paid a hundredfold for their betrayal of Zariel. Now her evil must be undone, one way or another. | |||||
![]() Haruman: |
My work is eternal, mortal! You have let the guilty escape their just punishment. And now all of you will pay! | |||||
| 50 | Defeat the Haruman | Haruman has come! Take this vengeful narzugon down quickly or Lulu is lost! | ||||
Bruenor: |
That armored fiend is down and done, finally. Now we gotta get ta Lulu. | |||||
Nayeli: |
It's too late, Bruenor. The hellwasps have taken her. I watched them go. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Ah, no. No, little hollyphant! Curse all o' this godsforsaken place! | |||||
Celeste: |
Bruenor. Everyone. Listen to me. We have a chance. Hellwasps use celestials like Lulu to expand their nests and feed their foul larvae. They'll be taking her back to the nest to be added to their larder. We have time. But we need to move quickly. | |||||
Bruenor: |
Then why are we still standin' here? Everybody! Back ta tha war machine. Then we got a date with a hellwasp nest -- and ain't nothin' gettin' in our way! | |||||
