Objectives

Objectives and journal entries may vary pending player decisions and outcomes.

Recruit allies in the fight against the cult
  • Freeing ourselves of the parasite is proving more difficult than we imagined. We should be on the lookout for powerful allies - we'll likely need them in the fight to come.
  • Volo has become a most loyal ally. His powerful words of encouragement are sure to be at our backs in the trials to come.
  • Auntie Ethel is grateful for us letting her keep the child. We can rely on her help in the trials ahead.
  • Halsin is grateful for our help protecting the sanctity of life. We can count on his formidable druidic powers, should the need arise.
  • Yurgir, pleased to be free of his contract, will lend us the hellish might of an orthon in the trials to come.
  • Mizora is sure to seek revenge for her abduction to Moonrise Towers. When the time comes to face the Absolute, we'll find her on our side.
  • Isobel is grateful that, thanks to us, her beloved is safe. We are sure to have the light of Selûne guiding us in the darkness to come.
  • Dame Aylin, the fearsome aasimar, is now our sworn ally. She'll have our backs in any fight - no matter the enemy.
  • Lorroakan is more powerful than ever with the Nightsong in his possession, thanks to us. The might of Ramazith's Tower will be at our backs, should we ever need it.
  • Rolan is grateful for our help securing his position in Ramazith's Tower. We can rely on the tower's full power, should we ever need it.
  • Arabella is back from learning how to control her powers. We can trust that her magic will be there to help us when we need it most.
  • The strange creature is thankful that we helped it enter the city. No doubt we'll have a powerful ally when we need it most.
  • Valeria feels indebted to us for having saved her from an untimely death. She and her City Watch are prepared to support us in the final battle.
  • Dammon the weaponsmith has become a staunch ally. We can rely on his ingenuity and the owlbear cub's might in our final battle.
  • Wulbren and the Ironhand Gnomes no longer have to contend with the Gondians. We can rely on their aid, should we ever need it.

  • Florrick is immensely grateful that we freed her and helped with the threat at Moonrise. We are sure to have her and the Flaming Fist by our side when we need it most.
  • The Zhentarim don't like to be in anyone's debt - it's bad for business. For helping them, we are sure to have their blades on our side, should it come to protecting the city. It's their new home, after all.
  • Nine-Fingers is grateful that we helped her retain control of the Guild - she's not one to give away what's hers. We can count on her and her Lady's Court in the final battle.
  • Mol isn't one to forget those who have helped her along the way. She'll have our back in the fight to come.

  • After completing Free Orpheus, the final battle begins to Confront the Elder Brain. The player receives the special skill Call Forth Allies which summons friendly units in combat based on the characters who have been recruited. The recruited characters also appear in a room in the High Hall, where they give a short dialogue line of support.

Notes

  • Volo's passive buff, Volo's Guide to Monsters, is also a manual for the Dungeons and Dragons tabletop game.
  • Despite the Gondians being mentioned in the journal entry, saving them does not provide any benefit to the party. However, there is summon dialogue for a Gondian Steel Watcher in the game files, so this may bugged or unfinished content.
