Shadowheart/Location Remarks

A collection of Shadowheart's remarks and voicebarks in various locations or plot scenes throughout the game. In some party combinations, a particular party member (including Custom Origin (Tav)) have the priority to voice their line. In these cases, Shadowheart's line is not used at all, or she utters a responding remark, if there is any.

At some points, the locations remarks are common for all possible party members, including Custom Origin (Tav). These are not included here.

Also, some lines provided for Shadowheart initially (as well as for other party members) have been cut or rendered inactive during further development.

Act One[edit | edit source]

Ravaged Beach and Roadside Cliffs[edit | edit source]

(Near the docks): "There's bound to be a settlement somewhere along this river..."
(Encountering Intellect Devourers in the Nautiloid Wreck): "Vicious filth. Best keep some distance, or this'll be a short fight..."
(Approaching the dying mind flayer in the Nautiloid Wreck): "That thing's bound to be dangerous, even if injured. Best be careful."
(Approaching unstable rune - the point of Gale’s recruitment): “Something's amiss with that rune. Seems unstable.”
(Saw Losiir's dead body): “Our gith helper didn't make it. So how were we spared...?”
(Saw dead goblins near the crash site): “Dead goblins over there. Worth checking for supplies maybe.”
(Saw Lae'zel caged by tieflings): "A githyanki. She ought to be killed, here and now."

Overgrown Ruins and the Dank Crypt[edit | edit source]

(When found bashing on the Dank Crypt door, 1): "They can't hold forever. Come on!"
- (Bashing on the Dank Crypt door, 2): "Blessed Mother, smite the obstacles in my path."
- (Bashing on the Dank Crypt door, 3): "Bloody doors!"
- (Bashing on the Dank Crypt door, 4): "Why?! Why won't you just open?!"
(Lockpicked the entrance to the crypt): “There! Not so impregnable after all.”
- (Another player character lockpicked it): “What, you got it open, just like that...?”
(Respond to the player character’s successfully convincing the looters to flee): “You're more cunning than you look. I thought we had a fight on our hands.”
(Entering the crypt from the Refectory): "Abandoned. Whatever god this place was built for can't be in great demand."
- (Responding remark): “Who were those prayers for? Normally the patron god is obvious - not here.”
(Looked at Jergal's statue in the crypt, Religion check):
- (Successful): "Jergal? I didn't think anyone worshipped the Scribe of the Dead."
- (Failed): "Who's this supposed to be? Statue looks ancient."
(Saw the skeletons): "They look like scribes, despite the weapons. No wonder they're dead."
- (Respond to any player character’s voicebark when the skeletons awoke): “Let them come. The darkness can be to our advantage.”
(After skeletons have been defeated): "Fools. Rising from the dead just to protect some dusty old baubles." ‘’ Serves also as a (Responding remark)’’
(Sneaked past enlivened skeletons): “They looked formidable enough. Lucky they didn't catch us with their loot.”
- (Responding remark): “Their trinkets may be worth a few coins, all the same.”
(Ran away, escaped from the crypt): “They fought hard, for bone piles. We were lucky to escape with their loot.”
(Found the Book of Dead Gods): "What could a book contain that requires it to be bound with chains...?"
(Found a Soul Coin): "Is this... iron? What kind of currency is this?"
(Entering the locked part of the crypt): "Looks like nobody's ventured this far down in years..."
(Trying to press a button that deactivates an avoided-so-far trap): “And... nothing. How thrilling.”

Emerald Grove and The Hollow[edit | edit source]

Approaching the Grove:

(After defeating first pack of goblins): “Well, that was bracing.”
- (Responding remark 1): "They were tenacious. I wonder what they wanted here - other than bloodshed."
- (Responding remark 2): “There must be more, wherever they came from.”

Resolving the initial confrontation between Aradin and Zevlor:

(Aradin was knocked out by Zevlor): “If only they had the same vigour fighting goblins as they did each other...”
(Zevlor was knocked out by Aradin): “If only he'd fought the goblins with the same vigour he had for that tiefling...”
- (Responding remark to any of leaders' punch): “Let's check for a healer, then move on. Whatever else is happening here isn't our concern.”
(Aradin was knocked out by a player character): “Nice punch, though be careful you don't spoil our welcome before we get what we need.”
(Zevlor was knocked out by a player character): “ I hope that wasn't a healer you just knocked out.”
- (Responding remark to any of player character’s punches): “Now that introductions are out of the way, perhaps we can look for a healer.”
(Respond to a player character's remark on the non-lethal ending of Aradin/Zevlor conflict): “Never mind their history. Let's look for help.”
(Reaction to Zevlor’s words about more goblins): “You heard them. More goblins could be on their way.”
- (Responding remark): “Goblins aren't our concern, so long as they stay out of our way. We're here to find a healer.”

Resolving Sazza's fate:

(After Sazza told the party about Priestess Gut): “Goblins aren't exactly renowned healers, but we can't afford to ignore any options.”
- (Responding remark): “Perhaps this Gut creature stole something that could be useful. A scroll, a potion, a cranial extractor.”
(Helped Sazza escape from the grove): “Freeing a goblin? Surely that's the tadpole, reworking my mind...”
- (Responding remark): “I'm not in the habit of helping vermin. I expect it to return and bite.”
(Let Arka shoot Sazza): “Hardly a winning display of archery, but it did the job.”
- (Responding remark): “Nobody will shed any tears for a dead goblin. The opposite, more likely. Let's move on.”

In the Sacred Pool and the Inner Sanctum:

(Trying to recognize the ritual chanted by druids): “This is a druid ritual... but not as I know it. Something's off.”
- (Responding remark): “Why, that's not at all foreboding.”
(If Arabella was killed by Teela during the trial): “They killed a child, for that...? Let's get in and out of this place before any vipers decide to bare their fangs at us.”
- (Responding remark): “We... can't help everyone. Even if we want to.”
(Saw the mural in the druid’s caves): “That mural... they look like Dark Justiciars.”
- (Saw the mural in the druid’s caves, suspects of Dark Justiciar activity in the region): “That mural shows Dark Justiciars. All these signs can't be a coincidence.”
(In Halsin’s chamber, saw a dead drow): “A dead drow. These druids aren't to be tangled with lightly.”
- (Responding remark 1): “There's a tadpole too, pickling in a jar.”
- (Responding remark 2): “ Quite the statue. A formidable piece of stonework.”
- (Responding remark 3): “Seems like the domain of a well-versed scholar - and not a squeamish one at that.”
(Read Halsin’s research on tadpoles): “This 'Halsin' person seems to know a lot about tadpoles.”
- (Responding remark): “Got to find him then. See if he can help.”
(Read Halsin’s research on tadpoles, knows druid’s missing): “Halsin sounds like the best chance of finding a cure.”
- (Responding remark 1): “Time to track him down and see what he knows.”
- (Responding remark 2): “Assuming he's even still alive.”
- (Responding remark 3): “He won't get off that easily. We can force his corpse to talk if it comes to that.”
(Opened the druids’ library with the magical circlet): “That did the trick.”
(Saw a magic-imbued glaive in druids’ library, knows the story): “This is the weapon mentioned in the notebook. Supposed to be cursed...”
- (Haven’t read about the weapon’s story): “There's something off about this glaive. Touched with magic, or... something.”

Dealing with Nettie:

(Nettie locked the party up after they refused to take Wyvern Poison): “Could have been worse, I suppose. At least she didn't just attack.”
- (Responding remark): “Blind honesty is always a bad idea. We should keep quiet in future.”
(Feeling sick after Nettie scratched them with a poisonous thorn): “Whatever Nettie did to me... it's getting worse.”
- (Sickness getting worse after LR without cure): “Agh... I need to reverse whatever Nettie did to me, before it's too late.”
- (Almost dying after second LR without cure): “Agh... killed by a bloody dwarf healer. Pathetic.”
- (Cured from Nettie’s poison): “Poison's faded. Just my luck to find a healer, only to have her try to kill me.”
(Agreed to take Wyvern poison from Nettie): “Wyvern poison. Never tried it, and I hope to keep it that way.”
- (Responding remark 1): “Better than becoming a mind flayer, I suppose. Keep it - in case things start to go very wrong.”
- (Responding remark 2): “Better than becoming a mind flayer. Keep it - in case things start to go very wrong.”
- (Responding remark 3): “Better to have more options than fewer. If you start sprouting tentacles, I'll pour it down your throat myself.”

In the Secluded Cove:

(Charmed by a Harpy's song, 1): "Such splendour... how did I live without it?"
- (Charmed by a Harpy's song, 2): “So beautiful. Like Shar's embrace...”

(Broke the Harpy's charm): "Foul winged charlatan! Your tricks will cost you!"

Elsewhere in The Hollow:

(Saw the Strange Ox): "That ox seems a little too interested in me..."
(Watching at the map in Zevlor’s cave): “Elturgard? A lot of territory to cover before Baldur's Gate - and any cure found there.”
- (Responding remark): “These little markings look like goblins and gnolls - right in our path.”
(Near statue in the Underground Passage): "I don't think that statue's eyes are glowing to provide illumination. Best be careful."
(Found malnourished Torchstalks behind the Makeshift Prison): "Something tells me I should give that mushroom a wide berth."
(Found dead tiefling children after goblins' attack on the grove): “This is what we sowed. Shar's darkness will embrace the children now.”
(Found the vines all around the grove blocking the entrance): “Impressive, as weeds go.”
- (Found the vines all around the grove, knows about Rite of Thorns): “All entrances sealed tight.”
(Tried to attack the vines): “I won't be getting through these things - nor will anyone else.”

The Forest and the Owlbear Nest[edit | edit source]

(Dealt with Andrik and Brynna, not knowing about the cult of Absolute): “Absolute? True what? What were those raving fools on about?”
- (Responding remark): “They're clearly devoted to the Absolute. Whatever that is.”
(Heard about the cult previously from Sazza): “They spoke of the Absolute, same as that captive goblin. They must be part of the same sect.”
- (Responding remark): “Looks like the Absolute's drawing all sorts to become followers. Impressive, in a way.”
(Saw Edowin’s tadpole exerting from his body): “That tadpole wasted no time in abandoning its host. Not sentimental creatures, clearly.”
(Responding remark): “All the more reason to rid ourselves of our own uninvited guests.”
(Found Exsanguinated Boar): “Curious. No wounds on that boar, but doesn't quite look like it died peacefully either…”

(Healed the Mother Owlbear): “Beast still looks murderous. Not sure it appreciates the healing touch...”
(Found Mother Owlbear killed by goblins, if the party have spared her earlier): “Seems like a pack of goblins swarmed the owlbear.”
(Responding remark): “Not a fate I'd wish on any creature.”

- (Successful): "Looks like a shrine to Selûne over there."
- (Failed): "Looks like there's a little shrine over there."
- (Successful, if it’s already known she’s a Sharran): "A Selûne statue? In a stinking cave? Hardly a place of honour, even for the likes of her."
- (Failed, if it’s already known she’s a Sharran): "A Selûne statue? In a stinking cave? Hardly a place of honour."
(Near the magically sealed chest): "There's magic at play here - a spell keeping this chest shut."
(Found a Selûnite Prayer Sheet, Investigation check):
- (Successful): “A Selûnite prayer. Marked with the same symbol as the chest. I'll have to sully my tongue and recite it.”
- (Failed): “A prayer and a symbol. Perhaps it does more than just flatter Selûne…”
- (Tried to open without disarming magical seal): “Agh! There's magic guarding this thing...”
- (Opened the chest by reading the prayer): “That's it? A few pious words and the magic's dispelled?”
- (Failed to recite the prayer): “Nothing but empty words, clearly.”
(Picked up the scroll with the Selûnite Rite): "Selûnite coming-of-age rites? Barbaric nonsense."
- (If the party does not know she’s Sharran): “Worthless.”

Sunlit Wetlands/Putrid Bog[edit | edit source]

Dealing with Demir and Johl:

(Saw Auntie Ethel disappeared after helping her against brothers): "Magic? Ethel is less helpless she made out. I don't trust her."

(Read Kagha’s recruitment letter from Shadow Druids): “Shadow Druids... it seems Kagha's been keeping secrets.”
- (Responding remark): “Useful information. Or dangerous. Both, likely.”
- (Read the letter before meeting Kagha): “Seems like some Shadow Druids turned someone called 'Kagha' to their cause.”

Elsewhere in the Wetlands/Bog:

(Found a sword and a helmet in the middle of the bog X: -3 Y: 277): “Rather fine blade and hat. Left behind by some unfortunate adventure-seeker, perhaps.”

- ( Nature check, successful): “Redcaps. They certainly made a mess here…”
- (Failed): “Whatever did this must've worked itself into quite a frenzy.”

- (Responding remark): “He's not without his uses - as long as we can keep him in line.”
(Betrayed Astarion to Gandrel): “Vampire spawn or not, I'm surprised you actually surrendered Astarion like that…”

In the Riverside Teahouse/Gnarled Teahouse:

(Near the fireplace in hag’s house, Investigation check):
- (Successful): “An illusion - with a passage hidden behind it.”
- (Failed): “No time to be warming myself by a fire.”
(After Ethel didn’t succeed to extract the tadpole): “Bad enough to have a tadpole, never mind one that's been tampered with.”
- (Responding remark): “We need to keep looking for a way to get rid of these things - they've overstayed their welcome as it is.”
(Ethel fled from the house, peaceful encounter): “Off to find someone else to ensnare in her dealings, no doubt.”
- (Ethel fled from the house escaping a combat): “Now where has she slithered off to...?”
(Reached out to Connor’s coffin while the hag is still alive): “Agh! That stings.”
- (Tried to touch it second time): “Agh! Still stings... don't know what else I expected.”

In the Overgrown Tunnel and the Ancient Abode:

(Chasing after Ethel through the illusory fireplace): “Where's that hag scurried off to now...?”
(Entering the Entrance Gallery): “Such charming aesthetics this place has.”
(After speaking with Lorin): “A mind flayer? Hopefully there's no truth to his ravings.”
- (Responding remark 1): “Just a trick, surely. We're being toyed with.”
- (Responding remark 2): “Probably another of the hag's mind games. Nothing more.”

Blighted Village[edit | edit source]

(Spotted goblins' ambush upon entering the village): “Goblins ahead. Looks like they're laying an ambush.”

At the blacksmith's house and cellar:

(Picked up Selûnite Necklace in blacksmith’s house): “Moon witch rubbish. How much time did some dimwitted artisan waste on that?”
- (If the party does not know she’s a Sharran): “Not to my tastes, certainly...”
(Found blacksmith's blueprints): "Plans. Looks like someone was intending to forge weapons."
- (Responding remark): "Not too refined here - just quick ideas sketched out."
- (Found another set of blueprints on the wall near the smithy): “More plans. Must be from the same blacksmith.”
- (Responding remark, if already knows about adding Sussur Tree Bark): “These don't mention sussur bark though. Perhaps an earlier draft.”
(Added sussur bark to the melting forge, has read blueprints): “Right. Now I need to add a greatsword, sickle, or a dagger.”
- (Hasn’t seen blueprints): “All right. What comes next?”

- (Successful): "Best not touch these webs or I'll end up as a meal."
- (Failed): "You could spin a cloak from all these cobwebs."
- (Touched the web and heard Ettercap's shriek): "Sounds like something's less than pleased…"
(Felt air motion from the deeper pit): “Endless dark. Transfixing, isn't it? Who knows what's down there.”

In the Apothecary's Cellar:

(Upon entering the secret cellar): “Hmm. What might be tucked away in here?”
(Found the tome): “'The Necromancy of Thay'? Not a children's book, I assume.”
(If the party knows about Gale’s needs): “ 'The Necromancy of Thay'? Not a children's book, I assume. Gale may want it though.”
- (If the tome was destroyed): “Hmm. Probably wise of you to get rid of that thing.”

The deal with Lump the Enlightened:

(Blowing Lump's War Horn, if the ogres are dead): “Can't summon any ogres now. Not unless this horn has necromantic properties...”
(Responding remark): “Doesn't matter how loud the horn's blown - dead ogres can't hear it.”
(Blowing the horn, while staying at the camp): “Hmm. Probably best to not have ogres traipsing through the camp, come to think of it...”
(Blowing the horn, if the ogres are too far away to hear it): “No sense in bursting my lungs on this horn - the ogres are too far away to hear it.”
(Blowing the horn, if deal with the ogres is done): “A waste of breath. The ogres won't answer this thing anymore.”

Elsewhere in the village:

(Found a hopscotch game): "Looks familiar… did I play this once? Long ago…?"

Goblin Camp[edit | edit source]

At the gate and in the outer camp:

(After any party member knocked a rhythm on a War Drum near the outer gate): "That should alert a good few goblins to our presence. Not planning on discretion, then?"
(After any party member smeared worg dung on their face): "I'd rather have a second tadpole than do that."
(Walking among the celebrating goblins): “We have to find Halsin before it's too late. I doubt these goblins care much for their prisoners' welfare.”
- (Responding remark): “Let's keep an eye out - and hope he's still drawing breath when we find him.”
(Freed the Owlbear Cub and directed it to the camp): "Not your typical pet. Hopefully it doesn't wreck the camp when it gets there."
(Saw sleeping drunk goblins at the platform above the entrance): “Blackout drunk, the lot of them. You can smell it from here.”
- (Responding remark): “Easy to liberate some purses or slit a few throats... if you were so inclined.”
(Found a loose wall at the upper section of the outer camp): “Loose brickwork. Best not lean against it.”

Wandering around the outer camp:

(Recognized the ruins as a Selûnite temple):
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 1): "So many Selûne statues. But no worshippers."
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 2): "Some deluded fool actually took time to carve this."
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 3): "No Selûnites left to bow before this."
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 4): "More Selûne dedications. What happened, I wonder?"
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 5): "More Selûne idolatry. No sign of her followers though."
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 6): "Selûnites wouldn't have abandoned this place willingly. What happened?"
- (If the party knows she's a Sharran, 1): "A disgusting waste of stonecraft."
- (If the party knows she's a Sharran, 2): "All these blasted statues. At least the worshippers are long dead or gone."
- (If the party knows she's a Sharran, 3): "All of these idols should be torn down. Another time, perhaps."
- (If the party knows she's a Sharran, 4): "More vile idolatry. Makes my stomach turn. For once, the goblins' decorations are an improvement."
(Hasn't recognized the ruins as a Selûnite temple):
- (The party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 1): "A statue of Selûne. This ruin must have been dedicated to her."
- (The party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 2): "This ruin's dedicated to Selûne. What happened here...?"
- (The party knows she's a Sharran, 1): "A statue of Selûne. This ruin must have been dedicated to her. And now it's a nest for some filthy goblins. A fitting end, heh."
- (The party knows she's a Sharran, 2): "This ruin's dedicated to Selûne. Vile moon witch... For once, the goblins' decorations are an improvement."
(Saw a mural near the waypoint):
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 1): "Selûne's markings… she was worshipped here, once. (Also comes if Shadowheart is played as an origin)
- (If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 2): "More Selûnite markings. No worshippers left though."
- (If the party knows she's a Sharran, 1): "More heretical symbols. Of course."
- (If the party knows she's a Sharran, 2): "Her patronage couldn't spare this place from goblins, clearly. Heh."
- (Conclusion, if Shadowheart is played as an origin): "Now left to ruin and goblins. Good."
(If the party has already interrogated Liam):

In Worg Pens:

(Halsin died while in bear form and reshaped after death): “Wait... he was no true bear. I need to see that corpse.”

(Halsin escaped Worg Pens on his own, the party hasn’t been to grove): “Looks like something broke free... and tore its way through its captors...”
- (the party does not know about Halsin missing): “Looks like someone broke free... one of the adventurers? Maybe they're back at the grove.”
- (the party knows Halsin was missing): “Claw marks and magic wounds... the work of Halsin maybe? He must've left for the grove.”
- (the party met him afterwards): “Must be where Halsin escaped from - looks like his handiwork. Or claw-work, rather.”
- (the party knows only about the adventurers): “Looks like someone escaped from there - rather violently. One of the adventurers?”

At the Selûnite Outpost and around:

(Approaching portcullis, saw a Minotaur killed by traps): "Those flames will make short work of anyone who gets too close."

(Took an item OUT of the chest): “Wait. This was different a moment ago...”
(Interact with lights without activating Power generator): “Doesn't look like I can light these... at least not by normal means.”
- (Activated Power generator): “Magical illumination. Useful if you don't have flint or a taper to hand...”
(Blocked lift in the Arcane tower, Arcana check):
- (Successful): “Powered by magic, it seems. Now to just get it working...”
- (Failed): “Not a budge. Better take a look around...”
- (Try to trigger it second time): “Still nothing. Bloody contraption.”
(Pressed the strange button in Lenore’s bedroom, doesn’t have the collar): “The button does nothing. And why's it barely above the floor? Strange.”

- (If already interrogated Xargrim's corpse): “This must be the book that dead drow spoke of. Magic's hiding its true contents.”
- (The book transformed, the party knew it was disguised): “Hmm. Looks like 'Flumph Mating Rituals' has revealed its true colours.”
- (The party didn’t know): “The true contents of that book on flumphs were hidden by magic - ingenious.”

(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel into the Underdark, has been to Underdark): “A shortcut to the Underdark. Interesting.”

(Teleported from the Underdark to the Sunlit Wetlands (Ethel’s illusion is still intact)): “Nothing like being dropped in the wetlands in the blink of an eye...”

Elsewhere in the Underdark:

(Entering Zhentarim storehouse): "A Zhentarim symbol. Those outlaws must be operating here."

- (Failed): “Perhaps the creatures of the Underdark had a masquerade ball. I'd like to see that.”

(Interacting with mould chamber, has at least one Mould): “That mould should slot in here.”

- (Placed only mould): “Should work now - as soon as I find some metal to feed it.”
- (Filled and placed both, seeking how to activate): “Everything's in order. Let's see what this contraption can do.”

(Approaching the lava lake, Nature check):
- (Successful): “Something's got this lava stirred up.”
- (Failed): “Lava. Better watch my footing around here.”
(Noticed Lava Elemental, Arcana check):
- (Successful): “No wonder the lake is so treacherous, with a lava elemental fanning the flames.”

- (Responding remark 1): “Vile beasts. Nothing good is born from a corpse.”
- (Responding remark 2): “Let's move. The smell of blood will draw trouble.”
(Witnessed a birth of a gnoll, seq 2): “Ugh. Anything that enters the world like that deserves to swiftly exit it again.”
- (Responding remark): “Our tadpoles have competition for the most vile parasite, clearly.”
(Witnessed a birth of a gnoll, seq 3 - knows about gnolls’ presence in area): “Trust gnolls to enter this world in the most grotesque way possible.”
- (Responding remark): “Vile creatures. Nothing that's born of a corpse should be allowed to live.”
(Found the missing shipment, Rugan dead, hasn’t met Zarys): “That's a curious-looking chest. I wonder what's inside.”

(Found a secret entrance to the Zhentarim Hideout): “Nicely designed. Secrecy always inspires ingenuity.”
(Illusory wall in the Zhentarim Hideout, successful Investigation check): “An illusion. There must be something worth being kept secret through there.”
(After the Flaming Fist guard refused to attack the Zhentarim): “If Flaming Fists shy away from a fight, then it's probably a fight best avoided.”

Meeting with the githyanki scouts near the Mountain Pass:

(Found giant scratches near Mountain Pass entrance): “Look at these gouges... tore through rock like it was butter.”
(Successful Arcana check): “Dragon claws. The marks look recent.”
(Failed): “Anything with claws that big is best avoided.”

(Heard Gremishka meowlings): “What is that? Almost sounds like weeping.”
(Recognized Gremishkas, Arcana check successful): “Gremishkas - they don't react well to magic. Better be careful with my spells.”

(Pass by an inactive Lathander's Lance on the roof, knows the where creche is): “I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that thing. Maybe that's what happened to those gith nearby.”

(The Giant Eagle calling for help in combat): “Perfect. That screeching is bound to bring more of them down on us.”

Crèche Y'llek[edit | edit source]

(Entered the Dormitory)^[5]: “Rather conventional beds, for githyanki. Do they cuddle plush red dragons, I wonder?”
(Read the parchment with the rules on the dormitory wall): “All these rules. Reminds me of home.”
(Set Gremishka loose from the gith kids’ chest): “Hells below, what's that?!”
- (Responding remark): “That's what was in there? Those brats deserve a taste of their own medicine.”
(Looking at the devices in Stornugoss’ laboratory): “Gith contraptions. Curious, imagining them wielding something other than weapons.”
(Breathed in the Strange Gas in the Hatchery): “What's that ghastly stench? I feel light-headed...”
(Looking around in the Hatchery): “What is this place...?”
(Saw anatomical diagrams in the Classroom): “Anatomical sketches of a mind flayer? Not something to hang over the mantlepiece...”
(Hit a training dummy in the far end of the Classroom): “A mind flayer target dummy. Not quite as intimidating as the real thing.”
(Started a fight with sa'varsh Kethk and his students): “Those students are under his spell - makes them more dangerous for us.”
(Opened the apple crate in the corridor): “An apple a day keeps the tadpoles away. I wish...”

(Interacted with the deactivated barrier): “No need for this - the barrier's already down.”
(Walking the bridge that leads to Inquisitor’s Chamber): “Charming place. Makes the rest of the crèche look like, well, a non-githyanki crèche.”

- (Responding remark 2): “Do you think this Inquisitor person is really going to help us?”
- (Responding remark 3): “I'll keep an open mind. But I'll also keep my hand near a weapon.”

(Read the note in the Dawnmaster’s secret stash): “The Blood of Lathander. Might be important - if it's still around.”
(Picked up the fake Blood of Lathander): “Is this the Blood of Lathander? A bit underwhelming, for a relic.”
(Noticed the statues in Inquisitor’s Chamber, Perception check successful): “Markings on the floor... looks like these statues can be moved.”
- (If the party read Old Maintenance Records at X: 102 Y: 26): “These Lathander statues can move, if that book is to be believed.”
(Failed to rotate the statue in Inquisitor’s Chamber): “No use - it won't budge.”
(Hit the stuck statue weakly): “Damn - not quite hard enough”
(Solved the statue puzzle in Inquisitor’s Chamber): “A hidden door. Who has the time to design such things?”
(Upon entering the Dawnbreak Gate): “Looks untouched. Quite something, to have escaped notice all this time.”
(Took the Blood of Lathander, using Dawnmaster's Crest): “Quite a jealously guarded item, I must say.”
- (Responding remark 1): “The monks were intent on keeping their relics safe. They didn't count on us, though.”
- (Responding remark 2): “Let's be sure to make good use of our prize then.”
(Managed to stop the armed Lance): “That was a little too close for comfort.”
- (Responding remark 1): “Indeed. I don't know what I'd look for in a final resting place, but this isn't it.”
- (Responding remark 2): “A little more caution in future won't kill us. Quite the opposite, actually.”
(Managed to stop the armed Lance, answering to Lae'zel): “Take it down a notch - we managed to stop it, didn't we?”
(Near the armed Lance on the roof): “That machine's going blow - and it'll take this whole place with it!”
(Took the Blood of Lathander and got trapped): “Bloody hells - get me out of this thing! Hurry!”
- (Responding remark, a player character is trapped (not her)): “Hold on - we need to get clear of this chamber as well.”
- (Responding remark, another party member is trapped (not her)): “I'll get you out - but someone else needs to get us out of here.”
- (Took the mace after destroying the barrier’s source): “Hells, the entire place is collapsing!”
- (Responding remark 1): “Time to go - now!”
- (Responding remark 2): “Time to move.”
(Got through the portal on the roof): “That was close - but not in the clear yet.”
(Ran to the right roof): “I need to get clear of this roof - right now.”
(Ran to the left balcony): “Safety's within reach - got to keep going.”
(Jumped to the left roof 1): “Got to go - this whole place is about to blow sky-high.”
(Jumped to the left roof 2): “Need to get off this thing while I still can.”

- (Response to the voice of Shar): “I hear you, Lady Shar. I shall not fail.”
- (Heard Shar speaking again, elsewhere in the temple): “That voice... is that Lady Shar...?”

- (Saw any of the glowing rings around the statue): “Repulsed again... but that glowing ring I saw may show the way.”

- (Pushed off by force field of the inner ring): “Ugh, need to be more careful. I'm almost there...”

Elsewhere in the inner temple:

(Saw the giant statue of Shar): “Lady Shar... so many must have toiled to make a visage so grand. It's beautiful...”

(Starting Soft-Step Trial and read the hint book in the Silent Library): “It's like the book mentioned - get through the maze without being caught or setting off a trap... easier said than done.”
- (Spotted by a Shadow during the trial): “Blast it. Got to try again - and not be seen this time.”

- (Knowing its purpose): “Another gem. One step closer to proving my worth to Lady Shar.”
(Collected all needed Umbral Gems): “That's the last one. The inner sanctum is within reach now.”
(In the Silent Library, pressed the correct button): “That worked. The door's open.”
(Picked up the Spear of Night, not knowing its purpose): “This is no ordinary spear... it may be important. Best keep it close.”

(Entered the House of Hope, doesn’t hear the Emperor anymore): ‘“The Emperor's fallen silent. Raphael's doing, no doubt.”
(Saw a Pillar of Souls, Arcana check):
- (Successful): “There's something devilish to this. Infernal magic.”
- (Failed): “Look at that thing. Raphael's taste in decor is surely his most evil trait.”
(Observing Avernus from the Boudoir balcony): “Quite a view - if not exactly a peaceful one.”
(Leaving the boidoir without Debtor's Attire after playing a “game” with Haarlep): “Better wear the debtor's attire before continuing, or things become unfriendly.”
(Read Raphael’s parole, already been to the Archive): “We should get back to the Archive and lift that dome.”
- (Haven’t been to the Archive yet): “A magic keyword. We need to put this to use in the Archive.”
(In the portals' chamber, looking at the mirrors):
- (Ankathla): “This leads to Athkatla. Perhaps I'll see it for myself, some day.”
- (Baldur’s Gate): “The way back to Baldur's Gate. Raphael will be returning through here before long...”
- (Luscan): “Luskan? Can't say I know much about the place.”
- (Menzoberranzan): “This leads to Menzoberranzan. The drow city must be quite a sight...”
- (Mephistar): “A portal to Mephistar? I think I've had my fill of devilish strongholds, if it's all the same...”
- (Neverwinter): “Raphael has a portal to Neverwinter. Imagine what tricks he must get up to there.”
- (Waterdeep): “A passageway to Waterdeep. The Mother Superior used to talk about this place.”^[13]
(If Hope died in a fight with Raphael): “That's the end of Hope. A little on the nose, Raphael...”

Lady Jannath's Estate[edit | edit source]

(Saw a precious painting in the exhibition): “I'm no expert, but that painting looks like it'd go for a nice sum.”
(Attacked the cursed portrait): “Either that's a remarkably realistic undead horde, or that canvas is cursed.”
- (Defeated portrait ghosts): “Not exactly the sort of thing that'll endear audiences to your artwork, is it?”
- (Attacked the cursed portrait again): “I suppose I brought this on myself...”
- (Defeated portrait ghosts again): “Better not tempt fate again.”
(Found the easel with mechanism): “That easel's crying out for something to be placed on it.”
(Solved the easel puzzle): “There! Looks like the secret's unravelled.”
(Read Mystic Carrion’s letter): “So, this Mystic Carrion offered aid to Oskar? Perhaps we should follow suit.”
(Commenting on player character’s portrait painted by Oskar): “Very nice. He really captured you.”

Philgrave's Mansion and the Ancient Lair[edit | edit source]

(Percepted the spell at the entrance): “There's a magic ward on this door. Need to be careful...”
- (Removed the spell): “The magic's gone. Should be safe to open the door now.”
(Spotted the Beggar's Portrait): “There's death magic embedded in this portrait.”
(Found Thrumbo’s note in a portrait): “A note, right under the canvas.”
(Entered “meat larder” on the second floor): “Ugh. Sometimes having a sense of smell is a true curse.”
(Read A Mummy's Memories): “A secret lair in the Undercity ruins. That doesn't sound at all nefarious.”
(Before entering the Ancient Lair, read the warning plaque): “'Those who draw breath, embrace death.' Charming.”
(Felt the lair’s curse effect): “Rumbled. Sounds like this place doesn't care for intruders...”
(Entered Carrion’s study): “A rather creative show of butchery. A necromantic ritual, perhaps?”
- (Read Funerary Jar Form and Function): “So the secret to immortality is sewn up inside a zombie? Better than tucked under a mattress, I suppose.”
- (Found first Carrion’s jar): “This thing has the chill of death to it. Necromantic magic.”
(Destroyed the first Carrion’s jar): “Jar's broken - good.”
- (Attacked Carrion’s jar with wrong means): “Agh! Rather tough, as pottery goes...”
(Killed Carrion without destroying his heart, Intelligence check):
- (Successful): “Carrion's demise won't be permanent - not unless all ties to this plane are severed.”
- (Failed): “That's the last of him - I hope.”
- (Killed Carrion and destroyed his heart): “Carrion's dead - and with his heart destroyed, he'll stay that way.”

The Guildhall and Lower City Sewers[edit | edit source]

(Found a letter about Stone Lord and Nine-Fingers’ plans about Counting House): “The Stone Lord has plans to rob the Counting House - but Nine-Fingers has an ambush prepared.”
(If Nine-Fingers died in the fight with Zhentarim, in her office): “A fine seat. Would suit someone with ambitions... and a ruthless streak.”
(In the Abandoned Cistern, sluice valve stuck): “Jammed tight.”
- (Sluice puzzle going wrong): “Mmm... doesn't sound very promising.”
- (Solved the sluice puzzle): “That did the trick.”
- (Saw polluted water): “I'll brave a lot of things, but I'd rather not wade through the city's waste water, thank you.”
(At the Stone Lord’s hideout, saw his whittles):
- (Aerie’s wings): “Wings? Who did these belong to?”
- (Dynaheir’s mask): “A wooden mask. Looks old.”
- (Jan’s turnip): “A turnip? Not the most exciting of keepsakes.”
- (Keldorn’s fist): “A mailed fist. There must be a story behind this.”
- (Mazzy’s hammer): “It must take quite some brawn to wield a warhammer like that.”^[14]
(In the Undercity Ruins, found Sarin’s skull): “Um, that skull is doing... something. Not a good sign.”

At the Heapside beach:

(During the Sahuagin attack, if saw them for the first time): “Hells. More gills than a fish monger's stall...”
(If seen them before): “Damn, these things again?”
(After Sahuagin defeated, Nature check):
- (Successful): “Sahuagin. They're not exactly in their element here - why are they so close to the city?”
- (Failed): “Ugh, those things smell like a fishmongers unsold stock. What are they?”
- (Seen them before): “More sahuagin. This can't be a coincidence - they're drawn to something around here.”

Flymm Cargo, the Iron Throne and the Steel Watch Foundry[edit | edit source]

(At Flymm Cargo, saw the oil leak nearby, Perception check): “Black blood? No, it's machine oil - seems to lead inside this place.”

(In the Iron Throne, doors stuck 1): “Won't budge. There must be some way to get it open...”
- (Doors stuck 2): “There must be some way to get this open.”
- (Doors stuck 3): “No lock in sight. There must be mechanism or something...”
(Found Ulder Ravengard, Wyll broke the pact): “Duke Ravengard...? He's still alive?”
- (Found Ravengard, Wyll stayed in the pact): “Duke Ravengard...? Better free him.”
(Trying to use the Submersible after returning from the Iron Throne): “Broken. This won't be taking us anywhere in a hurry.”

(In the Steel Watch Foundry, deactivated first Motivator): “It's disarmed. My heart's about to hammer right out of my chest.”
- (Deactivated second motivator): “It's safe. A little less terrifying once you've done it before.”
- (Deactivated third motivator): “Done. Nothing to it.”
(Found headless corpse in the Foundry lab): “The brain's been removed... is this how the Steel Watchers are controlled?”
(Found a headless zombie inside a Watcher): “The Watchers have headless corpses inside them? Not an aesthetic choice, I assume...”
(Read Toobin’s book (only)): “Gond's true name... I certainly don't know it. Perhaps I did, but I've forgotten.”
- (Read Gond’s lore book): “So 'Nebelun' is Gond's true name. Every god has their secrets, I suppose.”
- (Read both books): “Gond's true name is Nebelun. Not-so-secret after all.”

Elsewhere in the Lower City[edit | edit source]

(In Bloomridge Park, noticed the Bhaalist ambush): “People hiding in the undergrowth - and I don't think they're relieving themselves.”
(At Crimson Draughts, drank Araj Oblodra’s potion): “Explosive blood? That might prove useful... once.”
(In the Elerrathin's Home basement): “'Rite of the Timeless Body'. Some druidic practice? Jaheira may know.”
(At Flymm's Cobblers, saw Gortash’s portrait, knows his parentage): “Ugh, Gortash. Anyone have some throwing knives? I found a nice target.”
- (Not knowing his parentage): “Is that Gortash? Of all the leering mugs to have up on your wall...”
(In the Lodge, saw the massacre unleashed by Ptaris): “Dead scholars. All their vaunted learning couldn't protect them.”
(At the Murder Tribunal, became an Unholy Assassin): “Unholy Assassin? Subtle.”
(In the Stormshore Tabernacle, saw depictions of gods, Sharran): “I should pay my respects to Lady Shar as well.”
- (Saw depictions of gods, Selûnite): “I would have been compelled to offer a prayer to Shar here once... but no longer.”
(Approaching Baldur’s Gate (way to the Upper City), react to the player feeling Netherbrain close): “The Netherbrain... it's power is bearing down on me. Can scarcely draw a breath...”
- (Trying to proceed after the Emperor’s warning): “Perhaps we shouldn't go any farther just now - seems risky.”
(In the Water Queen's House cellar, noticed the cracked wall): “This wall's ready to crumble - shouldn't take much effort to get through.”

Going along Find Dribbles the Clown quest[edit | edit source]

Looking at Orin’s corpse installations:
- (Penela Lumpensicks as Illasera): “Hells, they're displaying murder victims openly now...”
- (Courageous Little Kimmabeth as Yaga-Shura): “What a ghastly diorama...”
- (Danfora of the Kingfish as Sendai): “Why arrange the dead like so? To intimidate us?”
- (Winslow Reginol as Abazigal): “Hmm. Corpses as a statement. Someone enjoys their bloody work.”
- (Gohumberry Tresp as Balthazar): “Imagine if some of this artistry was applied to a canvas instead of dead bodies.”
- (Wilting Alex as Amelyssan)^[15]: “These corpses are arranged with a certain sort of gruesome flair...”

Cloister of Sombre Embrace[edit | edit source]

Sharran
- (Entering Infiltration Training) "All these disguises...we were taught that Lady Shar's warriors had to be able to hide in plain sight, wherever we went... I think this was my favourite part - losing myself in here. Being someone else, even just for a while."
- (Entering Interrogation Training) "I learned how to inflict pain here, for Lady Shar. I can't remember the faces...but I think I can still hear the screams. A disquietening place...but you must inflict pain in order to end pain. Lady Shar's embrace can soothe all mortal torments."
- (Approaching the main chamber) "The Mother Superior raised all of this from nothing, in secret. It took years. Soon it'll be mine. And with Lady Shar's blessing, it will become even greater."
- (Entering the Night Orchid Cave) "My old haunt. Strange...I don't remember it, but its comforting to be here."
- (Opening Jewellery Box) "Mother Superior's jewels - a gift from the queen of Suldanessellar... I suppose they're mine now. Curious. I could never tell if she was proud of them or not."
- (Picking up Shar Headwear) "A Dark Justiciar helm. I wanted one of my own so badly...and the Mother Superior would always deny me."
- (Entering Chamber of Loss) "Prisoners...? Is this my final task for Lady Shar?"
Non-Sharran
- (Entering the Cloister of Sombre Embrace) "I remember this place now. A whole stolen childhood, spent in these halls. The Mother Superior must be close. Soon this will all be over."
- (Entering Infiltration Training) "A cunning disguise can serve a warrior of the Dark Lady better than any armour. That's what they always told us. I think this was my favourite part - putting these on, pretending to be someone else. I suppose that's been my whole life."
  - (Passing 0-1 of 4 History Checks on an Outfit) "Strange. I thought for a moment I remembered these mannequins... But no."
  - (Passing 2-3 of 4 History Checks on an Outfit) "I don't think I ever wore this one. Shame - the colour might have suited me."
- (Entering Interrogation Training) "I... I think I might have hurt people in here. Learned how to break their bodies, their spirits... Quiet in here now. But it wasn't always so. Screams rang off these walls. I swear I can almost hear them."
  - (Torture Rack) "How many people did I help break upon this thing...?"
  - (Torture Bench) "There's so much I can't remember, yet I picked up these implements... I'd know exactly what to do."
- (Entering the Night Orchid Cave) "A little hideaway... why does this place seem so familiar?"
- (Removing the black diamond from the altar) "The disc rose up... after I moved something on the altar?"
- (Patriar's Loss) 'Only a Patriar's Loss can open this door.' If there's anything this city's nobility would hate to lose, it's their wealth."
- (Reading the Interrogation Log in the Dormitory) "Githyanki. Research into the hunt for the Astral Prism, I'll wager."
- (Opening Jewellery Box) "These jewels... why do I remember these, of all things? A gift from Suldanssellar, Mother Superior said. Curious. I could never quite tell if she was proud of them or not."
- (Picking up Shar Headwear) "A Dark Justiciar helm. I wanted one of my own so badly... hard to imagine, now."
- (Entering Chamber of Loss) "I... I see them. I see my parents. Gods... what's been done to them?"
(Bookshelves in the Dormitory) "These are all about me...forty years of my life, documented like I was some sort of specimen."

Bhaal Temple[edit | edit source]

(Encountering the Farslayer): “The undead one's inflaming them - he's the one we need to slay first.”
- (After Farslayer started casting): “Hells - I've never felt magic so powerful. Focus your strikes!”
- (Defeated Farslayer): “Vengeful husks - just shadows of shadows without Bhaal's rage to fill them.”
(Entered Orin’s room): “Orin's personal chambers. About what I expected from a crazed killer.”
(Found the Dark Urge’s corpse (for no DU in the party)): “All the hallmarks of a protracted torture. Orin clearly enjoyed herself here...”
(Mourning over killed companion): “A death offered to Bhaal himself... we can't undo this.”

Inactive/Cut Location Remarks[edit | edit source]

(Saw dead fishers near dead Intellect Devourers): “Put up a fight by the looks of it. Not that it mattered in the end...”
(Looking at cave paintings, History check):
- (Successful): “Lolth's driders in combat against mind flayers. This artwork must be ancient.”
- (Failed): “Crude, but vivid as artwork goes. Whoever made these must be long dead.” - Couldn't find the place. Probably another cut-out upon release
(Trying to use Regeneration pod, never used it before ? check failed): “Not working. How is this thing powered?”
(Trying to use Regeneration pod, never used it before ? check successful): “Looks like it siphons power from whoever lies in that cradle. Just needs a volunteer.”
(Trying to use Regeneration pod, used it before): “It draws power from a living host. Nothing in life is free, I suppose...”
(Regeneration pod being used on non-living creature): “No good. Must need a different power source.”
(When lying on the bed near the regeneration pod being used): “Agh... Not the most pleasant feeling, though I've definitely felt worse.”
(Turned statue head behind Baldur's Mouth, Perception successful): “I think I heard something click into place above.”
(Hit by a flying chair from a ghost): “What the...?! That's one way to offer me a seat...”

Notes[edit | edit source]

↑ Shadowheart, as well as Karlach, Lae'zel and Wyll, comes to senses on the floor in the Nursery. Astarion, Gale, and the Dark Urge, as well as Tav, wake up inside a pod as it opens.
↑ The githyanki Losiir appears only in case when one of the players has chosen Lae'zel as a character origin
↑ Flumphs are a sentient race that inhabits the Underdark. They are known to reproduce themselves through a budding process, hence the bemusement of party members. Also, flumphs express their emotions by changing body colour, which is probably the point of Shadowheart's ironic remark when the disguise magic is dispelled. More on these creatures can be found at Flumph on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
↑ An illusion spell that allows to transfer a voice message to anyone who activates a certain trigger. It is not available to cast or learn within the game. Apart from the monastery, active spells can also be found in the Thorm Mausoleum and in the Undercity Ruins, on the path to the Bhaal Temple. More on it at Magic mouth on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
↑ If Lae'zel is in the party and not divided from the group, her voicebarks in the crèche have priority over all other party members' ones
↑ As long as Shadowheart remains a follower of Shar, the Shadow Curse does not affect her, unless the party wanders into a deeper curse domain (Reithwin Town and further). However, the curse will start affecting her just as badly as any other character, if (and when) the player acting for Shadowheart takes the decision to spurn Shar.
↑ Tara becomes a camp follower only if Gale is played as an origin
↑ The History check here is rolled only once by every party member, on any single mural; if any of them succeeded, it impacts all three murals. It is also common with the History check on speaking to the statue of Balduran near the entrance.
↑ Kozakura is an archipelago in the far eastern part of the Forgotten Realms, with history, nature and culture partly mirroring Japanese. More information on it can be found at Kozakura on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
↑ A neutral plane within the Astral Sea, the dominion of Kelemvor, where the souls of mortals are collected after death. Read more at Fugue Plane on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
↑ Third layer of The Nine Hells, described as an endless stinking marsh. Read more at Minauros on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
↑ Massive, ferocious, powerful but rather dimwitted hellish fiends. Unless put to any task, tend to destroy everything that comes in their way. More on these creatures on Ghargatula on the Forgotten Realms Wiki.
↑ For more info on these places look here: Ankathla; Luscan; Menzoberranzan; Mephistar; Neverwinter; Waterdeep
