Irenicus's Dungeon 1st Floor

Irenicus Dungeon is the area where Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn begins. Imoen, Minsc, Jaheira and Yoshimo can be found within the dungeon.



Background:
Irenicus' first base in the game that consists of several rooms with different purposes for Irenicus' experiments. These include prisons, libraries, bedrooms and even cloning rooms. This base appears to be underneath a Waukeen’s Promenade considering that once your character escapes this place one of the buildings are destroyed and in rubble.

The main character and his canon companions are initially trapped here in then prison room (Area 1) excluding Khalid and Dynaheir. They were all captured by thieves under the command of Mae’var and handed over to Irenicus.

Rooms of the Dungeon
In the Weapons Room (Area 2), there are basic weapons for the main Character and his companions to use as their original gear from the first Baldur's Gate was taken away and sold to various characters throughout the game. There is also a hidden stash behind a trapped picture in this room where you can retrieve a Dagger +1, 3 Potions of Healing and the Golden Pantaloons if the main character has them in the last game. Imoen’s current abilities will disarm and unlock this stash with relative ease. There is also a Jailkeep Golem that was not designed to attack escaping inmates (as it was not expected for anyone to escape.) That will not attack at but will only tell you to get back into the party’s jail cells.

The Portal Rooms (Areas 3 and 17) are magic portals that lead to the second level of the dungeon once the key from Area 16 has been retrieved.

The Electricity Power Room (Area 4) is where a buzzing contraption that seems like a battery to produce electrical power and to spawn Lightning Mephits. It can be turned off with a switch that will also grant 2000 XP.

The Crystal Room (Area 5) is a room full of pools and magic crystals that show images of cityscapes and presumably other things as well. Ataqah the Genie will be here to ask the player a question that will lead to different outcomes.
