Break Yurgir's Contract: Difference between revisions

''Objectives and journal entries may vary pending player decisions and outcomes.''

Below the feet is a ritual circle. Read the book [[One Becomes Many]] and then light the candles around the circle. A rat appears and offers a bargain - if the party leaves them alone, then it will show them the location of a secret treasure cache. The party can technically still complete the quest while getting the location of the cache, but it requires very quickly targeting the rat before it scurries off. Otherwise, if the party denies the deal, simply attack the rat and several waves of rats appear to fight. There are normal rats, but also necrotic rats and somniatic rats. Defeat all the waves of rats and [[Lyrthindor]] returns to his human form. Enraged, he attacks the party.  Note that the cache can still be located and looted even without making a deal with the rats, the location of it is simply not marked on the map.  It can be found north of Yurgir, at (X:-635, Y:-722).

[[Raphael]] tells Yurgir he should give his "sub-contractors" a reward for finishing the job, to which Yurgir says the party can take whatever he leaves at the Gauntlet. Unfortunately, this does not provide any unique loot and choosing to go this route means missing out on the [[Hellfire Hand Crossbow]] looted from Yurgir's corpse. Regardless, the quest completes with Raphael and Yurgir going to the [[House of Hope]] to discuss his new contract.

Lyrthindor can also be killed before encountering Yurgir in the first place, if the player heads towards Balthazar and the Gauntlet's trials first instead of encountering the displacer beast and attacks the rats along the way. If the player then goes to Yurgir's hideout, he will be encountered in the process of leaving the temple, and will not attack unless prompted. If left alone, Raphael will still show up, ending the quest as above, and Astarion will react as though the player had knowingly aided Yurgir.
