To access
Bodhi's Tomb, you will need to cross through the Graveyard
District of Athkatla. If you do this at night time, you will face
Bodhi as soon as you enter the Graveyard. She will hold a small dialogue
with you, and then she will send 4 Vampires to attack you. Bodhi will
retreat to her Tomb. You can enter the Crypt that was locked the last
time that you were in the Graveyard.
1.
Entrance: Check the locked chest and the table. You will find
a couple of spell scrolls and a few Wooden Stakes.
2.
Valen and Del: Around the first corner, you will bump into Valen,
Del, and 2 Fledgling Vampires. Kill them...
3.
Coffin Room: Just before location #2, you will find a secret door
that leads to the Coffin Room. Go in and drive a stake into the Heart of
Valen [A] and Del [B]
(They entered the Coffin Room in Mist Form).
4.
Blood Pool: When you enter the Blood Pool Room, you will fight
Salia, Meredath, and two more Fledgling Vampires. If you enlisted the
aid of Drizzt, he will be in this room. Once this room is clean of
Vampires, walk over to the Blood Pool and dump a Vial of Elven Holy
Water into it. This will effect the strength of the Vampires. Before continuing
on, return to the Coffin Room (location #3) and drive a stake through
the heart of Salia [C].
5.
Main Room: In the main room, you will find Hareish and 6 more
Vampires. Kill them all.
6.
Spike Room: Just before you enter the Spike Room, you will run
into 6 Vampires and the Guard. The Guard is a Vampire like the others,
except that he is a mage version. Kill these Vampires, and then enter
the Spike Room. You will find 7 Vampiric Mists inside the Spike Rooms.
Once they are all dead, check the Blood Pool in the center of the room.
You will find the "Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise".
Return now back to the Coffin Room (#3) and
make sure that you do not have any Vampires remaining that need to be
staked.
7.
Bodhi's Lair: Once the upper area is clear, go down the staircase
into Bodhi's Lair. Watch out for the two traps along the way. When you
enter Bodhi's Room, you will hold a small dialogue with her. She will
give you a few questions to ask of Elhan, and then she attacks. The
first thing that you should do is have one of your party members run up
to the Blood Pool in the center of the room and drop a Vial of Elven
Holy Water into it. This will cancel Bodhi's regeneration, as she can no
longer draw off of the Blood Pool. Kill Bodhi, and then head for her
Coffin at location #8.
8.
Bodhi's Coffin: Drive a stake into the heart of Bodhi (she entered
her coffin in Mist Form). This will kill her for the final time. When
Bodhi dies you will free Imoens Soul. You will gain 55,000 exp for each
character by doing this. The Lanthorn and Bodhi's Black Heart will show
up in your inventory (you do not need to loot them from anywhere, but
play it safe and check anyway). Just below Bodhi's Coffin, you will find
the "Cutthroar +4".
Cross over to
the room across from Bodhi's Coffin and check the chest. You will find 3
books.
The
Vampiricus Omnibus: Unabridged - This book
tells you about the Oghma Monk at the Docks
District Temple.
Conjur Ota
Servanta - This book mentions experiments performed by Tomass Sangui.
Dea Vampir
Becomos - This book is too blood to read.
With Bodhi
dead, Imoens Soul recovered, and the Lanthorn in hand, return to Elhan
back at the Elven
Stockade (marked as Exit from the Underdark on the World Map).
Kidnapping
and rescue of Aerie (Submited by Hodgekins)
It
is not certain if this happens just to Aerie or to any of “the
romance” possibilities in the game. In any case, Aerie will be used as
the example. I choose the Aerie romance, so I will break down this
side-quest specifically geared towards her.
First,
it would seem that the kidnapping doesn’t occur if your “romance
level” is too low. Another thing that may cause the “Kidnapping" to
NOT occur is if you spend the night with Phaere in Chapter 5.
On
your way back to Bodhi’s lair, you will be ambushed by non-other then
Bodhi herself, and
four of her “Fledglings”. At that time she will kidnap Aerie and
leave her Fledglings to finish you off – yea right.
This
part is the same for everyone regardless of the kidnapping or not –
you re-enter Bodhi’s lair and wreak havoc till you reach the evil
kindred herself. She will be accompanied with some more Fledglings and
Aerie
!!!
Unfortunately
she isn’t quite herself; Bodhi has begun transforming her into one of
her Vampiric Minions. So with a heavy heart you dispose of Aerie. Before
leaving the lair make sure you have Bodhi’s Black Heart, Aerie’s
body and the three books located in the trapped & locked chest in
the left hand room.
From
there you head back to Elhan’s Encampment and talk to the war sage, who recommends checking out the
vast knowledge at the temple of Oghma in Athkatla.
Making
your merry way back to the Docks
District, and enter the temple and discuss the situation with the
Priest (make sure you read those three books you found in Bodhi’s lair
beforehand). He will reveal that he sold the book your looking for to a
book merchant located in Umar Hills.
Back
in the Umar
Hills, head into the inn and look for the merchant in the top left
corner. He’ll go on and on and on (I’m not kidding – so make sure
you make him continue his ranting) and eventually will spill the beans.
He will reveal that in order to reverse the process of Vampirism, one
must bring the body of the “partial” Vampire and the Masters’
Heart to the Statue of Amaunator in a place where shadows roam (gee does
that sound familiar?).
You
guessed it, back to the Shade Lord’s
Dungeon...
Make
your way past the lettered tiles and place Aerie’s body and Bodhi’s
Black Heart in the arms of the Statue of Amaunator. And voila, Aerie
returns amongst the living.
Possible Game
Bug/Glitch:
A few people
have hit a rather odd game glitch in this section. The Glitch would
prevent them from entering the door to Bodhi, even after they had
cleared and explored the entire upper level. I had one of the afflicted
send me a copy of their saved game so that I could attempt to solve
their problem. Here is a run down on it all, and a "fix" if
you have also been afflicted.
I found Drizzt
in the Graveyard District, in the Small Tomb to the North (if you are
standing at the entrance to Bodhi's Tomb, head NE along the road until
you dead-end into a Tomb. Enter that Tomb and Drizzt is inside. You can
speak with him, and then have Drizzt follow you back to Bodhi's Tomb.
The problem is that he will not open the door to Bodhi. Instead, he just
follows you around, waiting to kill some Vampires. Only after Drizzt has
killed a few Vampires will he open the door to Bodhi. If you have
already killed all of the Vampires, Drizzt will not be able to open the
door for you.
In-order to continue your game, you will need to use the "move
to area" cheat. I have tried it on the saved game that I received,
and it does work, and it will allow you to continue the game. To use the
Cheat, follow the steps listed below [Note:
Use game cheats at your own risk. You will need to edit a file on your
Hard Drive. Do this at your own risk. Walkthrough-Online.com can not nor
will not be held liable for any damage that you may do]:
1. You will need to edit your Baldur.ini file.
Locate this file inside your Baldur's Gate directory. It may be
something like = (C:\baldursgate2\Baldur.ini).
2.
Open this file by double clicking it, or by opening a text editor.
Notepad is a good choice to use, and it comes with windows, so you
should have it.
3.
Next, you need to locate a line inside this file that says [Program
Options]. Start a new line beneath this line and then type in the
text "Debug Mode=1"
(without quotes). Save the file and then close down the text editor.
4.
Once the above steps are complete, you will be able to open the Baldur's
Gate console from inside the game. Load your saved game as you would
normally do, and then press [CTRL] + [SPACE]
(press them at the same time). This will bring up a small text line at
the bottom of your screen.
5.
Inside the text area, type the following: CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR0809")
. Notice that there are no spaces in the cheat code, and
notice the Capitalization. You will need to type it exactly (Type
everything that is in blue text).
6.
Once your cheat code has been entered, you will need to hit the [ENTER]
key to make it work.
This cheat
will take you inside Bodhi's Tomb, behind the door that you can not
pass. From this point, you can continue the game as normal. One thing
that you may want to do however, is go and grab Drizzt. Take him down
there with you.
