Zaviak's Vision is quest in Siege of Dragonspear.
Acquisition[]
Talk to Zaviak in Elfsong Tavern in Chapter Seven and you'll receive a pair of Spectacles of Spectacle.
Walkthrough[]
While any character is wearing the spectacles, occasionally vaguely humanoid white cloud will be seen moving around certain maps. If the wearing character then uses the spectacles on the cloud, it will consume a charge and "pull" them to the Prime Material Plane.
The item begins with 3 charges and is non-rechargeable, but there are a total of 9 encounters where it can be used, requiring a choice as to where they are to be used. Saving beforehand is recommended.
- Elfsong Tavern: Al-Alai, a hostile fire elemental worth 6,000 XP.
- Coast Way Crossing: A gauth, who, if Gorion's Ward is a Mage class, can be convinced to join the Dragonspear Castle assault, otherwise the player has no other option than battling this monster after a short dialogue. Killing the gauth grants Ring of Fire Resistance and 6,000 XP.
- Bugbear Caverns: A Greater Shadow can be convinced to fight the Bugbears for you (Viconia can be helpful if she is present), otherwise it attacks and grants 3,000 XP.
- Coalition Camp: Nazramu, who sells Wizzard Hat, Bracers of the Shuttered Lid, Dervish Crescent +2, Cloverleaf, Ring of Free Action, Ring of Purity, Amulet of Protection +2, Necklace of Form Stability, Dusty Rose Ioun Stone, Bracers of Defense AC 5 and Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise.
He sells high and buys high, thus can be a good merchant to empty your spoils. His store can also be robbed – one of the few merchants in Siege of Dragonspear that can – at a difficulty of 95, and if killed nets 10,000 XP and the Jester's Bracers. - Dead Man's Pass: Greater Earth Elemental or Raeanndra. The Earth Elemental attacks after dialogue, dropping 4 Emeralds and 11,000 XP.
Raeanndra the Tiefling gives you the Ring of the Tiny Fiend as a reward, and if killed, 2,500 XP, some gems, some potions, a Studded Leather Armor +2, Wakizashi +1 and Ninja-To +1. - Underground River: In the northeast room with Floss and Gurgle, a Rakshasa named Vidyadhar gives you Modron Heart as a reward if you solve his riddle ("Bees") before teleporting away. If killed, grants 10,000 XP, Modron Heart, a Protection From Magic scroll, and a Scimitar +3. Most of the time, however, he teleports away after losing half of his hitpoints and you are awareded only 5000 XP and Modron Heart.
- Kanaglym: The Lich Zhadroth normally gives you the Ring of Regeneration as a reward. If Gorion's Ward is a Cleric, non-Blackguard Paladin, or has Lore at least 25[1], they can select an attack conversation choice, and if it is killed, will gain 22,000 XP, the ring, and the Robe of Arcane Aptitude. Note: the Lore value can be achieved through potions that increase Wisdom or Intelligence or using items that directly affect your Lore score.
After freeing the Lich, whether you killed it or not, an Endless Watcher will show up at the area entrance, which will give Astral Crossbow +2 and 9,000 XP after being killed. An alternative dialogue options, if Zhadroth has been slain, requires at least 15 Charisma[2], but will lead to him simply gifting you the crossbow and departing.
- Avernus Entrance: A Deva named Idyletia will teleports away after finishing off a green and a red Abishai, and if killed, nets 15,000 XP.
- Avernus Elevator Interior: The Demon Xhost attacks on sight and when his health is brought to half, he offers you Gift of the Demon +5 in exchange for his life, but rewards 12,000 XP if killed.
