Ranger stronghold

dagda · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 9:45am

My main character is a ranger...
I am nearly finished clearing out the keep and I have read that the Keep is the fighters stronghold ... When finished I intend to go back to the governmet district to find the boy who will give me the quest for the Rangers Stronghold...

What is the rangers stronghold ... is it a worth while exersise?

Tue, 18th Sep '01, 9:59am

The stronghold itself isn't much, but by doing the stronghold quest, you'll get some neat items. The subquests are rather cute, though I don't remember what the rewards were.

In my opinion, it's a quest worth doing even if you weren't interested in the stronghold...

Ranger-Protector of Imnesvale

You will take Merella the Ranger's place as the protector of Imnesvale. I think that this is one of the most interesting strongholds, with several good quests and good reward. You don't have to go there every tenday, Delon'll tell you when you're needed.

Hope that helps...

thanks fo rgetting back to me so soon guys

Imnesvale?
Is that a place, and where is it ... I think I would like to do it!

Namuras · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 10:43am

Imnesvale is the village in the Umar Hills area.

dagda · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 11:15am

cheers
I look forward to it

corbulo87 · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 12:14pm

how dya get to the fighter stronghold quest?

dagda · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 12:34pm

i did not get the fighter stronghold quest
I talked Naila in the CC and went there... it is the first thing I have/am doing in Chapter2

As I get a quest I will just do that one and then take them in turn

tjekanefir · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 3:13pm

You do get a good reward item for the ranger stronghold, actually. Plus the quests are fun and the villagers are cute. One of the better strongholds in my opinion.

Masa-mune · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 3:20pm

Did you like Drizzt's panther?If yes complete the ranger's quest.

Tiamat · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 4:21pm

But you don't get a kittie (Gwenhwyvar). You get a doggie. The moon dog figurine. Bummer..... Hey, not that I'm complaining about getting that, but.........

Question: Can Drizzt summon Gwenhwyvar in the BG games? How?

Namuras · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 4:30pm

Dagda, you're a ranger, right? This means ranger stronghold for you, not fighter stronghold.

And Tiamat, I think Drizzt summoned a panther when I played, but I don't know how.

Judas · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 4:35pm

SPOILER ahead...

I'm not sure you actually see Drizzt summon his panther, but it's definately with him when he joins you in your assault against Bodhi later... unless someone else in his party can assume panther form.

Tiamat · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 4:37pm

Anybody who's a good hand at the infinity explorer feel like telling me if there's an item that can summon Gwenhwyvar, and any information on the Gwenhwyvar creature??

Extremist · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 6:01pm

There is no Gwenhwyvar summoning item in SoA.

Also there is no creature with that name in SoA.

Wildfire · Tue, 18th Sep '01, 6:39pm

Exremist: It's not nice lying to people

Gwenhwyvar is in the game. C6GUEN or C6GUEN 2

I dont think there is a statue to summon him tho...

Doing the ranger quests will "unfall" a fallen ranger (the result of a stray fireball I think), but when they ask you to go do them quickly, make sure you go quickly, or I believe you end up getting the sack from your ranger's job. The quests do give you a nice little wedge of experience, and like has been mentioned a nice pet dog.

Excuse me? But who is lying here? Me OR YOU?
That cat is called Guenhwyvar. I just answered about a name with W not with U.

Oricalcum · Wed, 19th Sep '01, 5:34am

How...anal.

corbulo87 · Wed, 19th Sep '01, 12:43pm

so all u have to do to get to the fighter stronghold is to talk to nalia, right???

JohnnyRTFM · Wed, 19th Sep '01, 1:42pm

When you finish the keep, she initiaates dialogue with you in which she pays you and you get your xp for the quest. If your PC is a fighter, you are also given the stronghold at this point.

Wed, 19th Sep '01, 2:25pm

Just some additional info

The Guenhwyvar of SoA goes fighting with 13 THACO, 2 AC, 3 attacks per round and 45HP...

Cerebus, the moon dog, goes with 11 THACO, 0 AC, 1 attack per round and 54 HP, as well as cast Healing Lick, Improved Invisibility, A self-made Mirror Image, Moon Dog Howl and Moon Dog Lick...

Now, compare and contrast. Hmmm... honestly, I had expected Guenhwyvar to be more powerful... maybe it's just the game... or is it???
