Chapter Six

Baldur's Gate Chapter 6 is the seventh part of Baldur's Gate.

Chapter 6 will begin when Duke Eltan has transported to outside Candlekeep. Before you can enter Candlekeep, you will need to give the Keeper of the Portal the History of the Nether Scrolls that you received from the Duke.

If you have explored the map inside, you will notice that things have changed. You need to enter the Candlekeep Library in the center of the map. Once inside, Karan will talk to you and reveal some odd facts about Koveras. On the second floor Koveras will talk to you and pressure you to attack the Iron Throne leaders. On the back of the third floor is Rieltar and the other Iron Throne leaders. You can kill them, just talk to them or avoid them. If you kill Rieltar, the second and fourth floors will be filled with Watchers intent on your arrest. If you have talked to Rieltar or Koveras you will arrested outside the library or the sixth floor. Do not resist in any way or you will be instantly killed. On the fifth floor Piato will show you that there is a letter Gorion left for you in his room. On the sixth floor Gatewarden will be there and will arrest you.

After you have been arrested, you will be sent to prison. Ulraunt will talk to you and find you guilty no matter what you say and scentences you to death. Tethtoril will then come and explain the Koveras is acutally Sarevok and offer to teleport you to the Candlekeep Catacombs. Accept this.

Enter the catacombs on your right. If you want to rest before you enter as you can rest without trouble here.

Go up the passageway and Phlydia will approach you. She will turn into a doppledanger and attack. You can go down the south-west corridor and there will be three routes that each lead to a tomb. The tombs will contain lots of useful items. Watch out as there are lots of traps in these passages, and the tombs will be trapped themselves. When you are done go to the north-east corridor and you will then go to the second level of the catacombs.

On the second level there are lots of old friends around, all who are actually doppledangers. Even the likes of Gorion and Elminster will be there. Only Arkanis and Deder are not doppledangers and will help you through the level. If you accuse them of being doppledangers and your reputation is less than 8 they will attack. You will see that there are lots of archways. There are traps in between some of the arches. Inside the archways there will be lots of skeletons. Go to the north-west of the catacomb and go up that passage until you reach the next exit.

After going through the exit you will be in the Candlekeep Caves. Watch out for traps. Just south you will find Prat and his party. They will attack. Kill them and keep going south you will eventually being facing some Basilisks. Go south of that area when you have killed them and then go west. You will find Diamid who will mistake you Prat. Pretend you are Prat so you can gain information off him. Eventually he will find out your not Prat but will go away rather than attacking because he is to busy. Follow him to the exit and once you are out Chapter 7 will begin.
