Icon Tomb of the Nine Gods Tomb of the Nine Gods
Destroy the Soulmonger and save the world!
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Deadly traps at the entrance. Killer puzzles to solve. Scent of death hanging over everything. This is Acererak's tomb, all right.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This is hardly the time for levity, Jarlaxle.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
A fair point. Still, it's kind of my thing.
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Indeed. But the strength a light heart brings to such a dark place -- do not discount such benefits.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Watch out! No, wait... Oi, I know ye. Yer that mad tabaxi that was shootin' at us in tha city!
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
An unfortunate altercation, and my apologies you have. I am Bag of Nails. My... previous lack of focus... has been sharpened by knowledge of darkness. Acererak has desecrated my land. Stop him, we must.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I assume you gained entrance to the tomb using the puzzle cubes, as did we?
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Indeed. I have scouted only little, though. But information I have learned is yours, if it will aid you.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Better put that conversation on hold a mite. We got company!
1 Defeat 25 Monsters You stand within the Tomb of the Nine Gods at last. A reckoning is at hand.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
So what're we facin' ahead? More undead rats?
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
The least of the tomb's threats, those creatures are. More numerous and powerful undead roam at will. All under the watchful eye of wight guardians, tomb dwarves they are. Skeletons patrol all halls and chambers of this place. But you must seek those out.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I feel confident that there'll be more than enough foes seeking us, frankly. Why are these skeletons of interest?
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Certain of them are skeleton keys, as part of their undead form. Five keys roam the tomb. What they open, I know not. But Acererak's plans cannot be thwarted till they are claimed.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
This is good intelligence. Thank you, friend. And will you join us?
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Nay, my good knight. I fight and scout best alone. But we may see each other again, ere this is done. Strength to you, friends.
2 Defeat 25 Monsters The first of the tomb dwarves are spotted. These undead guardians won't slow you in your quest to end Acererak's threat!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Listen up. Straight ahead. I'd know that pitter-patter of bony feet anywhere.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Good news to me. Been a while since me hammer's had a chance fer a good skeleton-smackin'.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
But be on watch for this skeleton key that Bag-of-Nails spoke of. Which perhaps means leaving them not quite fully pulverized?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! Hardly any point in fightin' at all, then...
3 Collect 1 Skeleton Key Skeletons assault you from all sides. Keep your eyes open for the key you need!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's a lot of bones to sort through, but I don't see any of them carrying a key. No, wait... look there...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That one skeleton's skull is odd. Extended. And into a perfect triangle shape.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
That's our key, I'm bettin'. Tuck that skull away and we're one down, four to go.
4 Defeat 25 Monsters Horrid undead swarm from the shadows. Stay sharp!
5 Defeat the Crawling Claw These crawling claws mean to stop your incursion of the tomb before it begins!
6 Defeat 25 Monsters Undead flood the halls of the tomb. Dispatch these servants of evil!
7 Defeat 25 Monsters With each undead you drop, two more step up to take their place. Acererak's minions attack in waves!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The noise of this fight is drawing more undead to us! We're going to be overwhelmed.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Might be a useful kind o' overwhelmed, though. Look there -- more skeletons on tha march. Focus on them, and look fer that next key.
8 Collect 1 Skeleton Key The skeletons are your goal, for if you can't find the tomb's skeleton keys, all your bravery is for naught!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Are you sure?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I've checked every skull twice. Nothing out of the ordinary. It looks like these keys won't be walking right up to us after all.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold up. Something about this hallway doesn't feel right. Ah, yes. Pit traps.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Spiked pits, I reckon.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
How can you tell?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Checkin' out tha decoratin' on them perforated ghouls. Look sharp!
9 Defeat 10 Pit Traps The spiked pit traps that impaled these ghouls will be just as big a threat to you. Be cautious!
10 Defeat the Shadow Ghoul A ravening shadow ghoul looms before you! Fight on!
11 Defeat 25 Monsters Zombie spiders scramble out of the darkness. Acererak's defenders are legion!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters The spiders threaten to overwhelm you. Stand fast!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Never thought I'd be one to get tired o' undead, but this place is somethin' else. Might look forward to gettin' gnawed on by dinosaurs again, just fer a change o' pace.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Their mindlessness is an advantage, though. Their tactics are as predictable as their destruction.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Speakin' o' predictable, we got another skeleton patrol comin' in. Key huntin' time!
13 Collect 1 Skeleton Key As the spiders fall back, skeletons take their place. Is one of them the next key you seek?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Hah! Got ye, ye malformed monster. One skeleton with a suspiciously square skull.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Our second key. I wonder how much more of this accursed place we'll need to fight through to find the rest?
14 Defeat 25 Monsters The spiders renew their attack -- with a phalanx of zombie warriors close behind!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Hold up! That's our feline scout making a return.
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Greetings to you, friends. The spiders are on the run, I think, yes, all good. But I slipped past another creature pushing in along their far flank. A thing most fleshy... a bit golemy...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I think we get the picture, thanks.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Fine by me. Seems like we been smashin' small critters endless-like. Gimme somethin' solid to bash fer a change. I ain't gonna complain.
15 Defeat the Flesh Golem The spiders follow the lead of a mindless flesh golem master. Take this horrid construct down!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's gotten quieter. Will we have a chance to rest, I wonder?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I wouldn't count on it. Tomb dwarves ahead -- and they've spotted us.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Is it just me, or is one o' them dwarves on tha tall side?
Icon Portrait Withers
Withers:
The intruders are there... Destroy them... in the master's name...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And more talkative to boot.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
An intelligent servant of Acererak might have knowledge we can use. We need to question that wight!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Easier said than done. He's boltin'!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters That wight does Acererak's evil bidding -- and might have information you need. Fight past these tomb dwarves and follow it!
17 Collect 1 Skeleton Key Another wave of skeletons crashes against you -- with the promise of another skeleton key when this fight is done.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. No sign o' any key in this lot either.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Next time, my friend. There appears to be no end to these horrid halls -- or the creatures that haunt them.
18 Defeat 25 Monsters Yellow musk zombies! The tomb has drawn its horrid defenders from across the jungles of Chult. Watch yourselves!
19 Defeat 25 Monsters Crawling claws race out of the darkness -- protecting something. The wight must be near!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
There's somethin' movin' in tha shadows behind them undead hands. It's that wight! Oi! If ye still got yer voice, ye can save yerself a beatin' by talkin' to us.
Icon Portrait Withers
Withers:
It is sad... but your violence precludes any questioning... I would have enjoyed speaking to you... hearing of the world outside...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The world outside is dying, monster! And your master is behind it. Surrender and we may show you mercy before your end.
Icon Portrait Withers
Withers:
Foolish talk... mortal... And you may call me Withers... before death claims you... as it will claim all...
20 Defeat the Withers With nowhere to run, Withers throws himself into the fray. Bring this undead lackey to heel!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Tryin' to talk to undead is ever and always a waste o' time. Never met one that dinna have tha conversation sense o' a mine mule.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't think that matters, Bruenor. Withers' office is a trove of notes and records. I just need time to go through it all.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye might wanna work on yer speed-readin', lass. Look out!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters Withers' tomb dwarves have come to check on their master. Better break the news to them gently.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I've learned much from Withers' journals. We seek a site called the Cradle of the Death God, beyond guardian hags the wight called 'the Sewn Sisters.' There are no maps of the tomb I can find, but the records of the tomb dwarves' patrols hint that we're close.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Best ye grab up what notes ye can, then. We got runnin' footsteps in tha hall that say we've overstayed our welcome.
22 Defeat 25 Monsters You fall back under a renewed tomb dwarf assault. Time to turn the tide!
23 Collect 1 Skeleton Key A skeleton patrol beckons you. Time to find another key!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We got lucky again rollin' them bones. Check this skull with a five-edge-thingy stuck out tha top.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
That's our third skeleton key. And it's a pentagon, Bruenor.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ain't gone at all, lass. I got it right here.
24 Defeat 25 Monsters Ravening ghouls have been set loose to hunt you. Hit them hard!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Armored monster promising death and mayhem, straight ahead.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Gotta say, that mail's seen better days. Oi! Sand off some o' that rust, ye lazy berk. Show some pride in yer attire.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Pretty sure that's blood, actually.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ah. Well, more o' a washin' called fer, then.
25 Defeat the Tomb Guardian This armored tomb guardian construct means to shatter you in body and spirit. Time to see who breaks first!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Is it just me, or are the statues up ahead all unnervingly lifelike?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not just tha statues. Them relief carvings is too fine by far. Feelin' like their eyes is followin' me.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Don't let them distract you. I can hear more skeletons ahead.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, and we know tha drill. I'll be knockin' them heads off and golfin' them yer way. Ye tell me when ye find tha next key.
26 Collect 1 Skeleton Key The clatter of another bone patrol draws you in. This hunt for the skeleton keys is costing you precious time.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Nothing. Again.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Just a setback, lass. We know them keys is here somewhere. So we just keep lookin'.
27 Defeat 25 Monsters The noise of the skeleton fight brings a force of tomb dwarves down upon you!
28 Defeat 25 Monsters The restless undead of the tomb give you no respite. End their threat!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Everyone stay close. These gargoyle statues are creating a gauntlet that seems a bit too convenient.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, and that one's movin'. Now we got ourselves a real fight!
29 Defeat 25 Monsters Not all the statues in this chamber are what they appear to be. A gargoyle assault begins!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The gargoyles are making way for something. Something big...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. Don't matter how big it is or how many extra arms it's got. Ain't no gargoyle can stand against this dwarf.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Be careful, Bruenor. I should have recognized this creature when we saw one in Omu. It's one of Acererak's deadliest creations.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, we'll let this hammer be tha judge o' that. Let's go!
30 Defeat the Giant Four-Armed Gargoyle This four-armed gargoyle is a creature of dark legend. Time to write a new ending for its story!
31 Defeat 25 Monsters The halls of the tomb are alive with undead! So to speak.
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
My friends! Look alive now!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Good to see ye still jumpin', cat. What've ye seen ahead o' us?
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
More of the dwarven undead, the tomb guardians, yes. They run search patterns now. Someone knows you're here, yes.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I'll call that good news. Let that archlich think he can send his undead to take us down. He's just helpin' us kill them that much faster...
32 Defeat 25 Monsters Tomb dwarves home in on your location. Destroy them as a warning to their master!
33 Collect 1 Skeleton Key Another skeleton patrol means another chance for a skeleton key. Quickly now!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Got it! A hexagon key this time.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, we don't want no hexes messin' with tha other keys. Best ye get Celeste to dispel that.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No, not a magical hex. A hexagon.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, if it's already gone, why'd ye even mention it?
34 Defeat 25 Monsters More tomb dwarves! As long as Acererak's servants continue to seek their own destruction, you'll be happy to deliver it.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! Everybody hold up, and now. I got a nose fer poison, and me nose ain't happy right now.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I can hear it as well. There's gas being released into the room!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The way back is blocked. We need to find another exit.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
We need to shut down these vents first, or it'll be the shortest search of all time. Come on!
35 Defeat 9 Gas Valves These clockwork cogs control the deadly flow of gas. Stop that flow, before it's too late!
36 Defeat 25 Monsters Vampire spawn haunt this chamber. End their threat while you can!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I can hear more skeletons ahead. But there's somethin' odd about them footsteps.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's because they're not footsteps, they're hoofbeats! Everybody move!
37 Collect 1 Skeleton Key A skeleton cavalry has you at a disadvantage in this open hallway. But as long as they might have a skeleton key in their ranks, you have no choice but to fight!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I got it! This skull's all long and bumpy out tha back. Some kinda blob key.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
That's a horse skull, dwarf. Like the last four you thought were the key.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oh, yeah. Gettin' a bit ahead o' meself.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
I ain't likin' tha look o' this place. Everything crumbled, but not from age. More like it's been crushed.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Watch the ceiling. And the floor. The walls. Watch everything, is what I'm saying.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Business as usual, then.
38 Defeat 25 Monsters The vampire spawn that fled from you previously have taken refuge in this ruined hall... or have they come here to draw you in?
39 Defeat 25 Monsters Something has these zombie rats running like they're fleeing an undead ship. Time to follow their lead!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Do ye feel that rumblin'? These stones is shakin' like an earth elemental weddin' reception.
Icon Minsc
Minsc:
Look there! Not even Boo could squeeze past that thing running toward our valliant band! It must be another puzzle!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
He speaks!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Not the time. Also, it's not running - it's rolling! Move before we're crushed!
40 Defeat the Stone Juggernaut A stone juggernaut! With nowhere to run to, destroying this massive construct is your only chance!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters The fury of the undead attacking you hints of desperation. The heart of the tomb is close -- and Acererak knows you are coming.
42 Defeat 25 Monsters The tomb dwarves and their servants make a final assault. Stand fast!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
More skeletons ahead. And they're chasing our wandering tabaxi.
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Be looking sharp, friends! Some trouble this group gave me, but you've got numbers to take them on.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye, and experience in plenty. Bone-breakin' time!
43 Collect 1 Skeleton Key The final skeleton key still eludes you. Is this your chance to find it?
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The last key! Thank Tyr.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
An octagon, to match with all the other shapes. We have all five keys now, but still no idea what door they unlock.
Icon Portrait BagOfNails
Bag of Nails:
Ah, I can be a help there. I've seen this door, yes, beyond the hags who guard it. I can show you the way. Then I do what I can to keep these undead from following. Hurry now!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters Powerful undead guard the route to the so-called Sewn Sisters. Push on!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Finally through that horrid gauntlet. We need to rest, and soon.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Not quite yet, lass. We got a meetin' set with hags -- and they're on time.
Icon Portrait PeggyDeadbells
Peggy Deadbells:
You have advanced far enough, strangers. You are not welcome here. Our master forbids it.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Your master's days are numbered, hag. And whatever depredations have been done at your hands will be paid for this day.
Icon Portrait PeggyDeadbells
Peggy Deadbells:
I think not. And I think the keys you carry will be reclaimed in our master's name. Sewn Sisters! Finish them!
45 Defeat the Sewn Sisters The hags stand fast to defend the gate that leads to your goal -- and to your doom!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
This door is imbued with magic beyond measure. The Cradle of the Death God must lie beyond.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We have the keys. This is our time, friends.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Ye might wanna hold that thought. We got a few more friends comin' in that're lookin' like they're set on keepin' this gate closed.
46 Defeat 5 Skeleton Key Holes Dark determination has brought you to the heart of the Tomb of the Nine Gods. Let nothing stand in your way now!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:

Celeste:
Now! Strike now! Those tentacles are the Soulmonger's protection. Destroy the archlich's infernal machine, and his plans are destroyed with it!

We've got new trouble! Archlich sized, and teleporting in!
Icon Portrait Acererak
Acererak:
I think not, mortals! Look at you! Too stupid to fear me, I think. And too foolish to flee.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Bein' dead as long as ye have, I'm guessin' ye've lost track o' what drives us mortal folk, ye wizened wizard. Trust me, I fear ye just fine. But it's somethin' stronger than fear that's gonna see ye broken at me feet before this fight's done!
50 Defeat 2 Acererak and Soulmonger The Death God cannot be allowed to wake! The Soulmonger must be destroyed! For Faerûn!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The Soulmonger is shattered! The souls that were stolen are freed! We've done it!
Icon Portrait Acererak
Acererak:
You have done nothing, mortals! Only cost me time and guaranteed that your lives are mine! We will meet again. And that day will be your last...
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh! Teleported away like tha undead craven he is. And one way or tha other, we need to be leavin' here close behind him.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
No. There's something I must do here, before it's too late. A resurrection, before she moves on...

Azaka:
Oh! I don't... What's happened...?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Too much to tell in one sittin', lass. But ye were gone, and now ye've come back.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
And come back to a world saved. The Death Curse is no more.
Icon Portrait AzakaStormfang
Azaka:
You did it! Thank the fates.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Nay, lass -- we all did it. Ye're as much a part o' this victory as any o' us, fer yer collectin' those puzzle cubes in time. And when we've healed and rested, I got a feelin' we'll be talkin' about ye joinin' our little band o' champions in good time.
