Wyll/Location Remarks

A collection of Wyll'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, Wyll's line is not used at all, or he 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 Wyll initially (as well as for other party members) have been cut or rendered inactive during further development.

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

(Entering the crypt from the Refectory): "Dust everywhere and not a prayer to be heard."
(Looked at Jergal's statue in the crypt, Religion check):
- (Successful): "That's Jergal, 'Scribe of the Dead', walked right out of a legend!"
- (Failed): "Nice statue. Can't place the face."
(Saw the skeletons): "Well-armed for scribes, I reckon. Wonder what happened."
- (Responding remark): “Let's move before we meet the same fate.”
(After skeletons have been defeated): “They were fighting to protect something dear to them. I can always tell.”
- (Responding remark): “How about we slip out of here, before the next bone party starts?”
(Sneaked past enlivened skeletons): “Too close a call, and for what - a handful of baubles?”

(Trying to press a button that deactivates an avoided-so-far trap): “Stuck. Is this thing broken, or what?”

Emerald Grove and The Hollow[edit | edit source]

Approaching the Grove:

(After defeating raiding pack of goblins): "Good and dead. The Sword Coast is better off for it."
- (Responding remark 1): “"Standard goblin raiding party. Question is, was it plunder they wanted - or did they seek something more?"”
- (Responding remark 2): “A goblin camp must be near. Which means we've not seen the last of them.”

Resolving the initial confrontation between Aradin and Zevlor:

(Zevlor was knocked out by Aradin): “Oof - I bet he broke that tiefling's nose. Friendly place.”

- (Responding remark to any of player character’s punches): “The situation's tense, clearly. I bet these folks could use a few helping hands.”

(Helped Sazza escape from the grove): “I've turned goblins into corpses - but never into comrades.”
- (Responding remark): “Ugh - I hope we don't end up regretting this.”
(Let Arka shoot Sazza): “Nice - she saved us the work of killing that goblin ourselves.”
- (Responding remark): “Well, this makes one down. Only a few thousand more to go!”

In the Sacred Pool and the Inner Sanctum:

(Trying to recognize the ritual chanted by the druids): “That ritual - it's no garden-variety growth spell.”
- (Responding remark): “ If it's got your hackles rising, then I wager we should steer clear.”
(If Arabella was killed by Teela during the trial): “Such cruelty among druids. I've never seen the likes of it.”
- (Responding remark): “The girl had her whole life ahead of her. Gods, such wanton cruelty.”
(In Halsin’s chamber, saw dead drow): “A dead drow. And the druids did this?”
- (Responding remark 1): “Let's not overlook the tadpole in a jar.”

- (Responding remark 1): “We know the man, we know our mission. Let's move out.”
- (Responding remark 2): “Assuming the goblins haven't killed him by now.”
- (Responding remark 3): “Oh, he's alive. And we're going to find him.”
(Opened the druids’ library with the magical circlet): “Nice. Time to see what's lurking back there.”

- (Haven’t read about the weapon’s story): “A sharp blade, with sharper magic. Best be careful with this one.”

Dealing with Nettie:

(Nettie locked the party up after they refused to take Wyvern Poison): “For someone who just heard we're all beasties-in-waiting, she reacted... well.”
- (Responding remark): “Let's keep our condition on a need-to-know basis. As in, nobody needs to know.”
(Feeling sick after Nettie scratched them with a poisonous thorn): “Ngh - I'm not feeling so good. Is this Nettie's doing?”

- (Almost dying after second long rest without cure): “This... this is it. It's too much...”
- (Cured from Nettie’s poison): “That was quick - I'm feeling better already.”
(Agreed to take Wyvern poison from Nettie): “You can toss that poison. We won't be needing it.”
- (Responding remark 1): “Poison's not my style. Nor's becoming a mind flayer. We'll have to make sure to steer clear of both eventualities.”
- (Responding remark 2): “We're a long way from a measure that drastic. A very long way.”
- (Responding remark 3): “I'd go ahead and toss that bottle. We won't be needing it.”

- (Responding remark): “Sounds like a cult. And the Absolute is bending their ears.”
(Heard about the cult previously from Sazza): “The Absolute, eh? Same name that goblin Sazza mentioned.”
- (Responding remark): “A cult, from the looks of it. And word's spreading fast.”
(Saw Edowin’s tadpole exerting from his body): “Is it just my imagination, or is this bug-plague spreading?”
(Responding remark): “Ugh. Can't believe one of those things lives in my brain.”
(Found Exsanguinated Boar): “Strange - dead as a doorhinge, but nary a wound.”

(Healed the Mother Owlbear): “She's still worked up - not even a nice 'thank you' grunt.”

- (Successful): “A prayer - and with the same symbol as that chest. Seems I found myself a key.”
- (Failed): “An old prayer. Curious symbol inscribed here too.”
- (Tried to open without disarming magical seal): “Ouch! Looks like this'll take some doing.”
- (Opened the chest by reading the prayer): “Nice. Time to see what's inside.”
(Picked up the scroll with the Selûnite Rite): "Coming-of-age rites for children born into worship of Selûne. A touch drastic, no?"

- (Responding remark): “Let's hope he keeps his fangs to himself. I enjoy a good meal, unless I'm the main course.”
(Betrayed Astarion to Gandrel): “I - I can't blame you for giving him up. Vampires are monsters, by any account.”

(Found Myrna's dog collar after digging out the grave at X: -41 Y: -212): “Is this... a dog collar? There are runes all over it.”
- (Responding remark, read Letter from Amarith): “Belonged to Lenore's dog, I bet. It must be magical, right?”
- (Responding remark, hasn’t read the letter): “Odd. Wonder what it's for.”

In the Arcane Tower:

- (Failed): “Stuck. Annoying.”
- (Try to trigger it second time): “Still stuck.”
(Pressed the strange button in Lenore’s bedroom, doesn’t have the collar): “Doesn't seem to do much. And why's it so low?”

- (Pressed the button, a party member wears the collar): “Ooh, what did you do? The collar's vibrating.”
- (Pressed the button, got a Raw Steak): “Oh - the collar buzzed, and the food came down. What a clever system.”
- (Pressed the button second time): “Oh, it's stopped. Good news for my delicate figure.”

(First learned about the adamantine forge): “An adamantine forge - the stuff of legends.”
(Looted disguised book from Xargrim, Arcana check):

- (Failed): “My my - 'Flumph Mating Rituals'?^[3] The drow had peculiar taste.”
- (If already interrogated Xargrim's corpse): “Must be the book the dead drow groaned about. Concealing spell's still holding strong.”
- (The book transformed, the party knew it was disguised): “Just as I suspected - the book about flumphs has changed. Time for some light reading...”
- (The party didn’t know): “I'll be - 'Flumph Mating Rituals' was more than it appeared. Time for some light reading.”
(Looted Filro’s records, not knowing about the forge): “'Protector'? 'Magma'? Doesn't make a lick of sense.”
- (Deciphered the record scroll): “'Only in magma destroyed'. Whatever's protecting that forge, it'll take some fierce heat to crack it.”
- (If learned about the forge first from Filro): “An adamantine forge, hidden deep in the Underdark - the stuff of legends.”
  - (Responding remark, successfully deciphered drow’s records): “'Only in magma destroyed'. Whatever's protecting it, it'll take some fierce heat to crack it.”
  - (Failed to decipher the record scroll): “But what's this about a 'hot hammer'? Doesn't make a lick of sense.”
(Second mention of the forge): “More forge talk? I figured it for a tall tale. Now I'm not so sure.”
- (The party knows about it from Filro’s corpse): “The drow with the hook horrors - he was searching for this Adamantine Forge too.”
- (The party knows about it from Filro’s notes): “Seems there's more than one searching for this forge. No word of its guardian this time, though.”

- (Not knowing the purpose): “Nothing. Not sure what I was expecting.”
(Activated the mushroom ring): “They changed colour. That's got to mean something.”
(Teleported from the Underdark into Overgrown Tunnel, Ethel is dead): “The hag's lair. Glad I don't have to deal with her again.”
(Teleported from the Underdark into Overgrown Tunnel, Ethel survived): “The hag's lair. It's a bit brighter than the Underdark, anyway.”
(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel to the Putrid Bog): “Phew - from murk to muck. Not sure it's an improvement.”
(Teleported from the Overgrown tunnel into the Underdark, hasn’t been to Underdark earlier): “Suffocating shadows, dank musty air. This is the Underdark...”
(Teleported from the Overgrown tunnel into the Underdark, has been to Underdark): “Aaand I'm back in the Underdark. A shortcut worth remembering.”
(Teleported from the Putrid Bog into Overgrown Tunnel): “This place again? Can't wait to leave it behind for good.” (this line is the same regardless of Ethel was killed or survived)
(Teleported from the Underdark to the Putrid Bog): “Swamplands. Why couldn't it have been an inn, or a winery?”
(Teleported from the Underdark to the Sunlit Wetlands (Ethel’s illusion is still intact)): “To the wetlands, is it? Why couldn't it have been an inn, or a winery?”

Elsewhere in the Underdark:

(Entering Zhentarim storehouse from the Underdark): "That mark - the Zhentarim are here. Thieves and murderers, the whole lot."

(Entered a banquet hall, Religion check):
- (Successful): “That smells rank. The remnants of a Shar ritual, I'm guessing. To eat and drink your fill before killing another...”
- (Successful 2): “That smells rank. The remnants of a Nightfall feast, I'm guessing.”
- (Responding remark): “To just eat and drink, then finish it all by murdering someone for Shar? These people were monsters.”

- (Filled only crucible): “Nice. Now for the mould.”
- (Placed only mould): “In it goes. Now to find something to forge.”
- (Filled and placed both, seeking how to activate): “The forge is ready to go. I just need to start it.”
(The platform moves down after activating): “Downwards it is - and a stylish ride, no less.”
(Trying to forge without lava): “No joy. Mould and metal, but it still needs something more.”
- (If has already crafted one piece): “The hammer can't do much without a little heat to move things along. The lava.”
(Forged the first item, Grym appears): “Would you look at that? Someone's come to say hello.”

(Stepped on a pressure plate in the tollhouse vault): “That did something, all right. Just not sure what.”
(Found the skeletal couple under the broken bridge): “Soldiers at rest. I bet those bones have some stories to tell.”
- (Successful History check): "That's Harper and druid gear. Old comrades, it seems."
- (Failed): “Their gear might still be good. It'd be a shame to let it rot here.”
- (Failed 2): "Soldiers at rest. Although maybe their armour's still good?"

Fighting gnolls and dealing with missing shipment:

- (Responding remark): “Well - let's pry it open and have a look.”
(Found the missing shipment, Rugan dead, has met Zarys): “Zarys was looking for this chest. She will pay handsomely if I return it intact.”
- (Responding remark): “Hm - but it does raise a question: what if its contents are more valuable than the reward?”
(Found the missing shipment, conspired with Rugan, has met Zarys): “Zarys' chest? I bet it holds all sorts of treasures.”
- (Responding remark): “We could always return it. Or maybe...”

Rosymorn Monastery[edit | edit source]

Walking down the Rosymorn Monastery Trail:

(Looking at the valley vista from the viewpoint X: -30 Y: -100): “Pretty enough to paint. Too bad I don't have a canvas. Or paints. Or the skills.”

(Approaching the statue of Lathander at X: 73 Y: 4): “The undead, smashed to bone. Lathander's sun does not rise on the soulless.”
(Heard the warning from speaking bust, Arcana check):
- (Successful): “A Magic Mouth^[4] spell? Whoever spoke those words is long dead, I wager.”
- (Failed): “A talking statue. Now was that a warning - or a command?”
(Found the corpse with a longsword in the chest, History check):
- (Successful): “That's one outlandish blade. Githyanki, I reckon.”

(Placed a non-Ceremonial weapon on altar): “Oh - a perfect fit. That's unexpected.”
(Heard Gremishka meowlings): “I hear weeping. And not the happy kind.”

(Entered a combat with drunk Kobolds): “That kobold smells like it's been swimming in wine. One spark, and things could get... heated.”
(Pass by an inactive Lathander's Lance on the roof, knows the where crèche is): “This weapon is massive. Is this what obliterated those gith?”

(Found a githyanki skeleton at X: 45 Y: 19, has been to the crèche): “All that's left of this githyanki are bones and armour. One of the temple's raiders from long ago?”

(The Giant Eagle calling for help in combat): “Hells - the damn bird's screeching for its chums!”

Crèche Y'llek[edit | edit source]

(Saw anatomical diagrams in the Classroom): “Oh, well, that is a lot more of the illithid anatomy than I'd ever hoped to see.”
(Hit a training dummy in the far end of the Classroom): “Mind flayer training dummy? Makes sense. The githyanki despise all things illithid.”
(Started a fight with sa'varsh Kethk and his students): “Watch it. The students are as fanatical as their teacher.”

Searching and obtaining the Blood of Lathander:

(Found empty altar for the fake Blood of Lathander X: 74 Y: 67): “If the 'Blood of Lathander' was so important, maybe an altar display wasn't the best storage solution.”
(Read the note in the Dawnmaster’s secret stash): “The Blood of Lathander. Sounds precious - it can't be far from here.”
(Picked up the fake Blood of Lathander): “So this is what passes as a holy relic? I expected a little more drama, honestly.”
(Noticed the statues in Inquisitor’s Chamber, Perception check successful): “Grooves on the floor. I should give these statues a good push.”
- (If the party read Old Maintenance Records at X: 102 Y: 26): “These statues should move, if that book's to be believed.”
(Failed to rotate the statue in Inquisitor’s Chamber): “Hells - it won't give.”
(Hit the stuck statue weakly): “A good hit - but not good enough.”
(Solved the statue puzzle in Inquisitor’s Chamber): “A hidden door? Time to poke around a bit.”

(Took the Blood of Lathander, using Dawnmaster's Crest): “Well. That was quite the security system.”
- (Responding remark 1): “High risk, high reward. This relic must be something special.”
- (Responding remark 2): “I'm hardly surprised. That thing looks powerful.”
(Managed to stop the armed Lance): “Well - tragedy averted, I suppose.”

- (Responding remark 2): “Let's think twice before getting grabby in the future, yeah?”
(Managed to stop the armed Lance, answering to Lae'zel): “And we stopped it. For now, that's all that matters.”

- (Responding remark, a party member is trapped (not him)): “Traps within traps. There's got to be a way out.”
- (Took the mace after destroying the barrier’s source): “Gods, the building's on the verge of collapse!”
- (Responding remark): “We need to move. Now.”
(Got through the portal on the roof): “Holy hells, that was a close one. And I'm not about to stick around.”
(Ran to the right roof): “If I don't get off the roof, I'm as good as ash!”

Elsewhere in the Lower City[edit | edit source]

(In Bloomridge Park, noticed the Bhaalist ambush): “There, in the undergrowth - unfriendly faces. Be ready.”
(At Crimson Draughts, drank Araj Oblodra’s potion): “Explosive blood. And all it took was one little potion.”
(In the Elerrathin's Home basement): “'Rite of the Timeless Body'. Does Jaheira know about this?”
(At Flymm's Cobblers, saw Gortash’s portrait): “Gortash? The man should be burning in hellfire, not painted and framed.”
(In the Lodge, saw the massacre unleashed by Ptaris): “This is an atrocity. It must be avenged.”
(At the Murder Tribunal, became an Unholy Assassin): “'Unholy Assassin'? No, no. This is not the path I was meant to take.”
(Approaching Baldur’s Gate (way to the Upper City), reacts to feeling Netherbrain close): “Gods - it's as if a giant's squeezing my head... Is this the brain's doing?”
- (Trying to proceed after the Emperor’s warning): “Hold up. The Emperor warned us that death waited beyond the gate, and I see no reason to doubt him.”
(In the Water Queen's House cellar, noticed the cracked wall): “Something's back there. Shouldn't take much to break down this wall.”

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

Looking at Orin’s corpse installations:
- (Penela Lumpensicks as Illasera): “Hells. Only a broken mind could create such a sick scene as this.”
- (Courageous Little Kimmabeth as Yaga-Shura): “Fire and death. Is this what this city is coming to - or is this always what it's been?”
- (Danfora of the Kingfish as Sendai): “Horrifying - so many damned corpses.”
- (Winslow Reginol as Abazigal): “Dragonborn cadavers? No, not just cadavers, but effigies. This isn't just spectacle - it's storytelling.”
- (Gohumberry Tresp as Balthazar): “No blood - but no less vicious a display. To what end?”
- (Wilting Alex as Amelyssan)^[15]: “A frightful message, written in blood and garnished with corpses.”

Bhaal Temple[edit | edit source]

(Encountering the Farslayer): “Bhaal's sent a heavy hitter. Slay the ghost first - he's the one provoking the others.”
- (After Farslayer started casting): “That's a killer spell - literally. Finish him, before he finishes us!”
- (Defeated Farslayer): “A less ceremonious exit than I expected. Not that I'm complaining.”
(Entered Orin’s room): “Orin's bloody headquarters. Even worse than I expected.”
(Found the Dark Urge’s corpse (for no DU in the party)): “By the gods, the torment this one must have endured.”
(Mourning over killed companion): “Shit. To the Hells with you, Orin.”

Inactive/Cut Location Remarks[edit | edit source]

(Saw dead fishers near dead Intellect Devourers): “Rotten luck. One moment, they're fishing. The next, murdered by monsters.”
(Looking at cave paintings, History check):
- (Successful): “Mind flayers and driders at war. How old are these scribbles?”
(Failed): “A painting of creatures in battle? Art imitates life, I suppose.”
(Trying to use Regeneration pod, never used it before ? check failed): “Hm - dead as door hinge.”
(Trying to use Regeneration pod, never used it before ? check successful): “It sucks energy from the occupant of that cradle. Seems - unpleasant.”
(Trying to use Regeneration pod, used it before): “It needs power. Living power. Figures.”
(Regeneration pod being used on non-living creature): “Nothing. I reckon it needs a different power source.”
(When lying on the bed near the regeneration pod being used): “Ouch! A hungry little device, this.”
(Turned statue head behind Baldur's Mouth, Perception successful): “Hm - something just clicked into place above.”
(Hit by a flying chair): “Hells. The furniture's gone flying!”

Notes[edit | edit source]

↑ Wyll, as well as Karlach, Lae'zel and Shadowheart, 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. 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
↑ 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
↑ A master artist, famous in the Realms, long dead by the events of the game. Known by a series of Waterdeep landscapes. A bit more on him on Ruben Delgaug on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
