Got any more details cause I cant find him

There are wooden stairs that lead down to the docks where you can find a few pirates and two ogres who fight each other by the water.

Before you head down these wooden stairs the very man you seek can be found to the left side wearing a red robe.

You must arrive at night to find him.

Syl...

That's not how I remember it Sylvus. It's behind a couple of those houses to the right (south in bridge area). And you don't have to go there at night.

Yup, I went there in broad daylight and he was there. Took me an hour to find him though. Heh.
But once you spot him, he's unmistakable. Someone at Bioware really loves red. :p

I still aint found the mofo

He is between the two most southern houses, facing the sea. One of the houses has a closed door. After several hours, I noticed that he isn`t there every day, so do your other quests and return there sometimes.

You can find the houses easily when you send out you thief or cleric searching for traps.
In the neighbour house there are two trapped doors with two funny little quests behind. Just take care that you have a roughestone in your luggage when you enter, you´ll need it :D

Man that guy in there kicks my ass

Yep. There are TWO doors with TWO quests :) Have you tried the door to the waterside too? Good fun :D

And don´t forget the roughestone...

I dont think my guys are on the right level for this guy, he has killed me everytime.

Fighting the liches and the twisted-rune are probably some of the hardest fights in BG-II :D

Got any strategies for a newbie still on Chapter 2??

Leave'em for later!

Yep, really good Idea - depends on how many quests you´d like to do in chap-2, but after going through the underdark you´ll be far better equippped for them.
I found twisted rune accidentally while playing a thief and looting the bridge area :D
I came to that door, disarmed the trap (ignoring the text on the screen), entered and found me in this room with no way out but to kill the nasties in there. I was a level 10 lvl-6 fighter/ lvl-10 thief then and my party simply greyed out in a minute :D

whats a roughestone?

They mean a Roguestone...it's that funky rainbow coloured stone.

:D Hoo häs äver carret forr ortografy, hehe? :D

Ragusa............WTF?????

Going back to the origional topic, I noticed that the man in red won't appear unless you've talked to the gravekeeper. So if you've been looking for him and still haven't found him I suggest you talk the th grave keeper...he's the guy in the top right corner of the Graveyard District (looks like a begger)

;) ALAAF, ALAAF, ALAAF!!! ;)

Helau und Alaaf to you :) :) :)

Only Alaaf, Silroth! Helau´s for these unbearable Dusseldorf scump only (all right and for some mid-rhine freaks too) :D

Be aware that Colognians would consider it a major insult, and dropping that in a pub in Cologne could result in you getting beat up ;)

Ouch, beaten up, Silroth ;)

;) ALAAF, ALAAF, ALAAF!!! ;)

I know Duesseldorf, my sister lives there, but where the hell is Cologne??? :D :D :D

For clarification: Cologne=Köln, and watch what you call us Rhinelanders.

I know my way around the Düsseldorf area. But still nothing of Cologne. Just some barbarian area to the south. :p :p :p

I still haven't found the blasted guy in red.

bgp

As for uncivilised: Cologne was founded in 56 AD and has existed before. It developed urban prosperity at a time when bavarians were just getting familiar with the thought to make clothes out of furs - a tradition they still hold up :p

And indeed, somehow they learned to brew some kind of beer :p - they are pretty inventive :D

Dusseldorf has never been much more than a fisher village in he shadow of colognes cathedral :rolleyes: . They have electric light now, don´t they?

ok, this is a 'wheres the guy in red?' forum. so take that jibberish talk outside
