'''Bernard''' is the [[Construct]] guardian of the [[Arcane Tower]] in the [[Underdark]]. Created by the tower's owner, [[Lenore De Hurst]], Bernard was designed for both protection and companionship.

== Encounters ==
=== Act One ===
Created by the former resident of the tower, Lenore, Bernard guards the [[Arcane Tower]]. It is located on the top level of the tower and wields the {{RarityItem|Light of Creation}}.

'''Bernard''' speaks only in poetry. If the player has read the book, ''[[The Roads to Darkness]]'' on a desk in the [[Arcane Tower]] upper floor, they will have the option to respond in kind with ''"Or art thou friend, a rescue from my lonely wake?"''. Responding in any other way will cause Bernard to immediately become hostile and attack.

Bards have an optional {{Ability Check|History|18}} to remember/unlock all verses from the play.

If the player replies to Bernard with the appropriate line from the play, it will acknowledge them as its master. The player can then speak additional lines from the play to cause Bernard to take certain actions:

|Bernard will acknowledge the player as their master, and remain passive.
|[[The Roads to Darkness]] (third floor / bedroom)
|-
| ''"How can I trust? How will I ever know? / How can I show myself, my darkest me?"''
| Bernard will give {{RarityItem|Guiding Light}} to the player.
| [[Threadbare Book]] (first floor / greenhouse)
|-
| ''"These empty sheets are all that's left of you. / The last of all the thoughtless gifts you gave."''
| Bernard will give the player a {{RarityItem|Potion of Greater Healing}}.
| [[Patched Parchment]] (table next to Bernard, top floor)
|-
| ''"There is a light in every living thing. / It's crawling t'wards the surface to survive."''
| Bernard and the nearby [[Animated Armour]]s become hostile and attack.
| [[Evil's Ascent]] (second floor / main entrance marked as Dusty Book before reading it)
|-
| ''"The silence stretches on - I'm all alone. / Please, can I hold your hands, for just a while?"''
| Bernard will hug the player and reassure them. It speaks as if the player is Lenore.
| [[Torn-Out Paper]] (third floor / bedroom)
