i. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strange things are happening in the Sword Coast.  The iron has gone bad, every
weapon forged with it is completely worthless.  Bandits plague the Coast 
stealing everything else that already isn't ruined.  And people are muttering
that it is all the work of an outside interest bent on domination.

Baldur's Gate is the latest in a long string of games set in the Forgotten
Realms.  The game uses (for the most part) the AD&D rules to set the gameplay.
It also endeavors to create the sense that you are on an AD&D quest yourself,
and not just playing the game, but rather are in the game.

  Wands
  -----
  Wands last for 20 uses, and then fizzle away.  Although no way exists to
  directly check how many charges are left in a wand, you can try to sell it at
  a shop.  The more the shopkeeper will pay, the more charges you have left.

iv. Spells

v. NPC's
--------
Unless it is otherwise mentioned, any NPC you say "no" to (or remove later) will
stay put wherever you put them.  To see the X,Y coordinate of where you are,
press "L".  The top left of any map is x 0 y 0.

Pairs: (can't have one without the other)

  Note: To get one of these in the pair without the other, simply send the other
        person into a building (the person you want to get rid of), and then
        reform the party to kick them out.  This way they can't come up to you
        and talk to you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vi. General Strategies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charisma is your friend:
  So what does Charisma really get you?  Well if you have a low charisma you may
  not be able to get NPC's to join you, if you pass a quest, the treasure may
  not be as good as it normally would be, (or there may be no treasure at all!)
  and shops may charge you more.  So don't skimp out on the charisma.

Low Dexterity Not So Bad:
  If your stats just aren't turning out so good, consider skimping on Dexterity.
  Why?  There are Gaunlets of Dexterity out there that bring you up to a full
  18!  Don't skimp out too much since you still have to fight to get those
  gauntlets.  (the gauntlets are in the gnollish fortress)

Fighting Battles:
  Let them come to you.  When you first see an enemy, your first instinct may be
  to run over to it and slaughter it.  Well don't.  Let it come to you, and
  attack it there.  This way if there are 50 more of these creatures, they won't
  see you and won't attack.  You can then pick off each creature one at a time.
  This is especially useful in dungeons where the enemies may be more difficult.

Save a Lot:
  There are 3 times when you should definately save the game.  When you win a
  battle, before you go to sleep, and everywhere else.  You never know when you
  will go to a new area, have your best warrior charmed, and have half your
  party killed.  So save often.  Also don't just save over the same slot over
  and over, use at least 10 slots.  This is especially necessary in Durlag's
  tower.  This also means you should probably avoid the Quick Save.

Resting:
  No matter where you rest, you won't get very many HP from resting.  So before
  you rest make sure to (after you save it, if you are not in an inn) heal
  everyone with spells.  You get all magic memorized during the night, you do
  not, however, get all your HP's.

The Guard:
  When you rob someone, they might summon the guard.  Keep that in mind (you
  will want to save the game before you rob someone).  Also bear in mind that
  the guard is strangely NOT summoned if you kill someone, like in an inn.


================================================================================
                                  WALKTHROUGH:
================================================================================

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Candlekeep
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companions (NPC's): none (although Imoen joins later)

Plot:
  - Buy Equipment in the Inn (you start right by it)
  - Talk to Gorion to leave Candlekeep (x 2683 y 1756)
    Note: Once you leave Candlekeep, you can't come back.

Subquests:
  - Phlydia's Book
    A little NE of the Inn, you will find Phlydia.  She has lost her book, The
    History of Halruaa  Go east, you will find a shed with hay and a cow.  Check
    one of the bales of hay for the book.  Return to Phlydia for your reward,
    a Lynx Eye Gem and 50 exp.
    Phlydia: Candlekeep (x 1601 y 311)
    Book: Candlekeep (x 3245 y 289)

  - Firebead's Scroll
    Inside the Inn is Firebead Elvenhair.  He has lent a scroll to a scholar,
    Tethtoril, near the Candlekeep central area and wants you to retrieve it.
    Do so for a small reward, a Healing Potion, 50 exp and he casts Protection
    from Evil on you.
    Firebead: Candlekeep, Candlekeep Inn (x 198 y 404)
    Tethtoril: Candlekeep (x 3154 y 1304)

  - Fuller's Bolts
    If you're still in the Inn, buy some bolts, and take them to the barracks.
    There you will give your bolts to Fuller who apparantly can't walk up the
    street to get some himself.  When you talk to Fuller, ask him if he has
    any errands for you to run.  Talk to him again and give him the bolts for
    your reward, a dagger +1 and 50 exp.
    Barracks: Candlekeep (x 1570 y 2447)

  - Hull's Sword & Medicine
    While you are still in the barracks, in the NW corner is a chest.  Open the
    chest and take the contents (a sword, and a bottle).  Now take the sword
    to Hull, who is by the main gate.  Talk to him, and he'll tell you that he
    forgot his sword.  Talk to him again to give it to him.  You get 20gp and
    50 exp for your trouble.
    Barracks: Candlekeep (x 1570 y 2447)
    Hull: Candlekeep (x 3662 y 2431)

  - Nessie's Green Elixer
    Now we're going to finish up these subquests by going up to Nessie (the cow,
    she's by where you got the book for Phlydia).  Talk to Dreppin (if you
    didn't talk to him before, you'll have to talk to him 3 times) and he'll
    take the potion from you, and you get 50 exp.
    Dreppin: Candlekeep (x 3264 y 430)

  - Killing Rats
    Talk to Reevor by the Storehouse, and he'll pester you to kill the rats in
    the storeroom.  Go inside and do just that.  Come back out and talk to
    Reevor again to get your reward, 5gp and 50 exp.
    Reevor: Candlekeep (x 4335 y 1454)

Assasination Attempts (it gets its own category...hehe): 2
  - Priest's Quarters (x 2961 y 437)
    Assasins: Shank -- Dagger, 20 exp
  - Bunkhouse (x 2055 y 2668)
    Assasins: Carbos -- Dagger, 20 exp
    Note: If you kill these assasins before they turn red and attack you, you
          get 2 exp.  But at least your reputation doesn't decrease!

Other:
  - Learn to Fight
    If you want to learn the battle system of Baldur's Gate in a controlled
    atmosphere, simply talk to the Gatewarden at (x 3065 y 3899) to set up a
    simulated combat experience.  You get no items from it, however, nor do you
    get any experience.

  - Learn to Fight part 2
    Another place to learn to fight is to talk to Jondalar (x 4094 y 1331).  He
    will attack you, you attack back.  Erik will sneak up behind you and shoot
    you with arrows.  Don't worry, they don't damage you.  You get nothing from
    this either.

  - Free Healing Potion
    Go to the healer's (x 3566 y 2932) and talk to the Priest of Oghma there,
    and tell him that you could use a little healing, and he will give you a 
    potion of healing.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a. The Crossroads (2 areas: Area E of Candlekeep, Area S of Friendly Arm Inn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companions: Imoen; Xzar and Montanon (x 4546 y 2701)
  I wouldn't bother with Xzar and Montanon here unless you are forming an all
  evil party.

Enemies: Gibberlings, Xvarts, Bandits, Wolves, 1 Ogre (see subquests below)

Plot:
  - You are now in the area where Gorion was killed, you need to go east, then
    north to get to the Friendly Arm Inn.
    Note: When you first enter the crossroads area, Elminster will talk to you.

Subquests:
  - Chase and the Cliff
    Chase apparantly has nothing to live for, and is going to hurl himself off
    of a cliff.  You can talk him out of it, but it's not readily apparant what
    effect this has on the game.  (btw, no matter what you say to him, he
    doesn't jump.)
    Chase: Area E of Candlekeep (x 1458 y 2412)
  
  - An Ogre and His Belts
    There is an ogre here who has a belt fetish.  Kill him and take the two
    belts.  The larger looking belt is the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity
    (changes your gender) and the smaller one is the Girdle of Piercing + 3 vs.
    piercing.  You may want to wait to do this until you have more than 2
    people.  If you want, you can return the Girdle of Piercing to its owner,
    Unshey, in the Friendly Arm Inn (see that section below).
    Ogre: Area S of Friendly Arm Inn (x 4787 y 1665)

Other:
  - Search Gorion's Body (area E of Candlekeep)
    You will find some treasure's around where Gorion was killed, including a
    letter that has some clue's about your origin. (x 3149 y 1373)

  - A downed Caravan (area S of Friendly Arm Inn)
    You can check out a destroyed caravan, but there's only 7 gp there to be
    had.  (x 2348 y 3343)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Friendly Arm Inn
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companions: Khalid, Jaheira (both First Floor FAI, x 329 y 685)

Enemies: Hobgoblins

Plot:
  - Beat the assasin, Tarnesh, to gain entrance to the Inn
  - Talk to Khalid and Jaheria and get them to join.  They tell you to go to
    Nashkel to the south to find out about this tainted ore thing.

Subquests:
  - Unshey's Belt
    If you want to part with the Girdle of Piercing (which I wouldn't), talk to
    Unshey in the Friendly Arm Inn to get a reward: History of Tethyr, 95gp, and
    800 exp.
    Unshey: Friendly Arm Inn, Second Floor (x 1190 y 753)

  - The Noble's Golden Pantaloons
    On the third floor of the Friendly Arm Inn you will find a nobleman who
    mistakes you for the laundry service of the inn, and he gives you his
    Golden Pantaloons for washing.  You can't do anything with the pantaloons
    so give them back to the Noble for 100 exp.  Not bad for not doing a thing.
    Noble: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 336 y 673)

  - Landrin's Spiders
    Landrin's house in Beregost has been overrun by spiders, and that is why she
    is hiding in the Friendly Arm Inn.  She gives you a bunch of antidotes and
    promises a reward if you bring back the body of the spider, her husbands
    boots, and some wine.  Go to Beregost, and into the house by the Jovial
    Juggler.  Kill the spiders, and take the 3 items and return to Landrin for
    your reward: ??????????????????????????????
    Landrin: Friendly Arm Inn, Third Floor (x 796 y 735)
    Spiders: Beregost (x y )

  - Joia's Flamedance Ring
    Hobgoblins north of the Inn have swiped Joia's flamedance ring.  Kill them
    to get it back.  Joia is in the house just to the west of the outer gate in
    the inner grounds.  She won't give you anything, but you get 400 exp and
    Rep + 1.
    Hobgoblins: Friendly Arm Inn (x 2554 y 292)
    Joia: Friendly Arm Inn (x 1536 y 2484)

Assasination Attempts: 1
  - Steps to the Entrance (x 3364 y 2252)
    Tarnesh -- 120 exp, 58gp and 3 spells


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2a. North of the Friendly Arm Inn (2 areas: Farm N of FAI, and the BG Bridge)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companions: Ajantis (x 1572 y 3146)

Enemies: Bandits, Ankhegs (Ankheg shells can either be sold or made into an 
         armor, see the Beregost section for more information)

Plot:
  - We're here to pick up the NPC Ajantis (if you want a Paladin, that is), and
    to do the subquests here. (they have good experience!)

Subquests:
  - The Fishermen and the Sea Priestess
    Seems that whenever these fishermen get out on their boat, a horrible storm
    appears and disrupts their fishing activity.  They blame the Priestess of
    Umberlee, Tenya, for cursing them unjustly--or so they claim.  Agree to help
    them, and go north again to the Baldur's Gate Bridge. (unless you want to
    fight a lot of Ankhegs, when you go north, stay as far to the west as you
    can manage!)  Don't actually cross the bridge, but head as far north as you
    can manage.  Once you have found the Priestess' cottage, save it, and move
    the members of your party around her.  Talk to her, and say that you have
    come to end her "villainous deeds".  After a short battle, she should talk
    to you (if you killed her, reload!) and tells you that the fishermen are the
    real menace here (they are, btw).  Go back, talk to the fishermen and demand
    the bowl, then kill the fishermen, and take their Flail +1.  Give the Bowl
    to the Priestess to get your reward: 2500 exp.
    Fishermen: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 700 y 2643)
    Priestess: Baldur's Gate Bridge (x 3989 y 720)

  - Farmer Brun's Son (or the Cave of the Ankheg's)
    Warning!  This subquest is a little more difficult since you have to fight
    the mighty Ankheg's!  So if you don't feel up to it, don't try it!
    Just to the East of the Fishermen you will find Farmer Brun.  It seems that
    his son has gone missing.  Agree to help him.  Go a little to the west to
    what appears to be a giant pit in the ground, and go into it.  Go down the
    tunnels to the east, when you get the option, you usually want to take the
    north path.  Eventually you will find a treasure horde, in which you will
    find Wand of Fire, Chain Mail +1, Dagger +1, Dart of Stunning, Dart of 
    Wounding, 2 spells (Dire Charm and Ghost Armor), 3 potions (Cloud Giant
    Strength, Antidote, and Magic Protection), 560 gp, and Nathan's corpse.  (In
    case you are wondering, there is nothing else down here except for more
    Ankheg's) Return with the corpse to Farmer Brun's to get your reward: 
    500 experience points.
    Farmer Brun: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 3492 y 2328)
    Ankheg Pit: Farm N of Friendly Arm Inn (x 2137 y 2404)
    Nathan's Body: Ankheg Pit (x 2458 y 137)

Other:
  - Gerde and the Ankheg Fighting
    You may find Gerde around.  She explains a few things about Ankheg's and
    will let you hunt up to 9 of them.  Kill every Ankheg that you can find on
    the screen and she will give you 75 gp.

Note: The Baldur's Gate Bridge is important later, and we will come back this
      way again.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Beregost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mirianne's Letter (subquest)
Just south of Beregost you will find two Ogrillons, and on one of their bodies
is a letter for a Mirianne, who lives in Beregost.  Take her the letter and she
will give you a Ring of Protection + 1 and 300 exp.
Mirianne: Beregost (x 4804 y 2086)
Ogrillons: S of Beregost (x 3850 y 1460)

Firebead Elvenhair's Book (subquest)
You'll find Firebead in Beregost (he was also in Candlekeep while you were
there) and he wants you to pick a book up for him, the History of the Fateful
Coin.  You can find it across the street in the Feldepost's Inn (for 2gp).
Give him the book and you get 300 exp, the History of the Dead Three, and
a Reputation + 1.
Firebead: Beregost (x 2044 y 2905)

Marl the Drunk (subquest)
Marl is in the Feldepost Inn, and he has had his fill of adventurers.  He
accosts you in the bar, and you can fight him (????? exp), but you can also talk
him out of fighting.  Choose options 1, 1, 3, 3, 1.  For your trouble you get
900 exp.
Marl: Beregost, Feledepost's Inn (x 1406 y 2640)

X. Durlag's Tower
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nymph's Hair (subquest)
In the tower on level 3 you will come across a jerk named Riggilo.  Don't kill
him.  On level 4 you find a Nymph (Kirinhale), agree to help her out, and she
gives you a lock of Nymph Hair.  Go back to Riggilo and give him the hair.
Finally go back to the Nymph and get your reward:  4000 exp.  Also Riggilo is
now trapped in the tower for eternity.  It's win-win!  If you want, go back and
talk to Riggilo again, and he will get upset and attack you.  Kill him for 1400
more exp, and some minor treasures.

  "Dryad" Fighting:
    A dryad (or any other female monster type, such as the Siren) has some nasty
    magical attacks, namely Charm Person, which if used on the right person in
    your party, screws you over.  Nothing worse than having to fight your own
    best fighter.  So if you lose too many people to her, then go back to your
    last save, then send only your best fighter to where the dryad is.  If your
    fighter is charmed, no big deal (enemies won't attack charmed party members, 
    so you won't get killed).  Once she is out of the worst magical attacks, 
    send in the cavalry.

  Exp Cap Removers:
  -----------------
    Godlike (144kb download, version 1.1)
      This really cool utility removes the experience cap from any version of
      Baldur's Gate, including the Tales of the Sword Coast.  If you don't know,
      there is a limit to how much experience you can get in the regular game, 
      and this removes that limit.  Really cool.

      useful when playing a multi-player game as well since you can then edit
      your character at any moment.
