Area Walk-Throughs and Guide to the Quests

Each of the 51 area sectors in the Sword Coast is full of monsters and characters who will vie for the destruction of your party; non-player characters who will impart advice and quests; and valuable magic items you can use to help your party succeed in its goals. This section of the guide provides a comprehensive walk-through for each of the 50 sectors in the game, generally listed in the order you will likely uncover each area.

In addition to the walk-through tips, each area description includes a chart that lists each quest you can obtain in that sector; the quest giver; the solution location and explanation; and your reward for completing the task. Each area description also lists all of the non-player characters that reside in that sector, as well as the enemies that lurk in that location and the magic items you can find there. While all of the key monsters you'll find in that area are listed, you may also find additional random monsters (although the most commonly encountered creatures are itemized), so keep up your guard to avoid unpleasant surprises.

To the extent events occur in a sector only during a specific chapter in the game, those events will be listed under a sub-heading for that chapter. Since each area description contains a complete walk-through for that area, if you want to avoid spoiler information, you shouldn't read the descriptions under the chapter sub-headings for each sector until you've reached that chapter in the game.
