Baldur's Gate II Chapter 7

Baldur's Gate II Chapter 7 is the seventh part of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. After rescuing Imoen's soul from Bodhi, you must rescue your own soul from Irenicus.

Suldanessellar
Once inside the Elven city of Suldanessellar, Elhan will advise you to seek out Queen Ellesime or High Priestess Demin. Watch out as there will be lots of tough monsters scattered around the city. Fight your way to the southwest corner and defeat Raamilat who is guarding Demin's House. Enter Demin's house and defeat the Rakshasa. Demin will tell you that you need to find three relics and bring them to Rillifane's Temple to enter the palace.

Enter the House of the Talisman just east of Demin's House. Inside you will find a locked container with several plates on it. The Elven Priest Stone in the Priest's house above will give you a clue for opening it. Select the plates in the following order: Rune of Corellan, Symbol of Rillifane, Symbol of Water, Tree of Life, and Suldanessellar. You will receive the Talisman of Rillifane.

Enter the House of the Moon to the north and you will witness an elven warrior sacrifice his life to protect the Moonblade from a demon. Take the Moonblade from the elven warrior's body.

Go to the forest clearing in the northwest corner of Suldanessellar and confront Nizidramanii'yt the powerful black dragon. When you have finally defeated him, take the Golden Goblet of Life from its body.

Enter the Temple of Rillifane and defeat the enemies within. Place the Talisman of Rillifane, the Moonblade, and the Golden Goblet of Life on the alter to summon the Avatar of Rillifane. He will awaken the guardian spirits of the forest and will break the seal on the palace gates. Get the Stone Horn from inside the House of the Horn and the Stone Harp from inside the Harpists' House.

Enter the palace in the northeast part of Suldanessellar. Click on the tree in front of you a few times to gather its nuts. The larger nuts can be used for healing. Put the Stone Horn and the Stone Harp on the statues by the pool to reveal a staircase to the Tree of Life. An image of Ellesime will appear at the bottom of the staircase and will ask you to kill the parasites that are killing the tree of life.

Walk along the branches and find the three large parasites. In certain places, a new branch will be grown from one of the smaller Tree of Life nuts which will allow your party to cross. When you click on a parasite, two elementals will appear to defend it. Defeat the elementals and then click on the parasite again to kill it. When the last parasite has been killed, Irenicus will lose the power from the Tree of Life. Your party will appear before him and he will attack you.

The Nine Hells
Once you have defeated Irenicus, your soul will be dragged down with Irenicus into the Nine Hells. Your friends will also die and follow you there. To open the Abyssal Door, you need to find all five Tears of Bhaal.

In anti-clockwise order, the first staircase leads to a wraith Sarevok. Kill him and take the first tear of Bhaal.

At the end of the second staircase you will be met by a demon named Greed. He will give you the Blackrazor. Either give the Blackrazor to the enslaved genie or defeat him in battle to free him and retrieve a tear.

The third staircase leads to selfish. He will snatch one of the members of yemand that youour party and make a choice. If you go through the door on the right, the companion will be killed. If you take the door on the left, your companion will be returned but you will lose 2 maximum HPs, 1 dexterity, and some experience. The demon will give you a Tear. If you have a Raise Dead spell available, the first option is the wiser.

At the bottom of the fourth staircase, the demon Fear will offer to give you an evil Cloak of Bravery made from the skins of innocent nymphs. If you have some fear protection, take the lower passage. Otherwise, take the upper passage and defeat the Beholders. Click on the glowing red stone to find another Tear.

At the end of the fifth and final staircase,a demon will praise you for your mighty deeds and try to get you to fight a terrible beast. Refuse to give in to your pride and to fight the creature just because it is in your way. Speak to the dragon and he will give you the final Tear.

Click on the plates next to each eye surrounding the Abyssal Door when you have all five Tears of Bhaal and the Door will open and Irenicus will come through. Irenicus will summon four demons to aid him and the final battle will begin. Defeat Irenicus once and for all and you will regain your soul.
