Docks (AR0300)*

Prebek's House Kangaxx' house Athkatla - Docks District (AR0300)

If you want to see the traps on this level, hover your mouse over SHOW TRAPS.

    When first entering the Docks District, if you have Yoshimo in your party, he will warn you that this is Shadow Thief territory and Shadow Thieves do not appreciate solo operators like himself. After being caught by them, Yoshimo now has to report to the head of the Guild, Renal Bloodscalp, or suffer the consequences. Yoshimo proposes to go see Renal Bloodscalp as meeting with him may even bring some kind of a reward. Also if your main character is a thief, talking to Renal Bloodscalp will initiate a Thief Stronghold quest.

    Near the Shadow Thief Guild you will be assaulted by a Mad Priest of Cyric. Depending on your wisdom, you can either fool him into believing that you already worship Cyric or, otherwise, you'll have to kill him.

MAD CLERIC: 750 exp, 20 Gold, Onyx Ring, Sunstone Gem, Quarterstaff.

Shadow Thief Guild

    If you have sided with Bodhi, the minute you approach an entrance to the Shadow Thief Guild, you will be assaulted by a number of thieves. You'll have to dispatch them in order to gain entry inside.

    If you have sided with Bodhi, you'll have to kill the guards near the guild.

Rylock

    You can also return Renfeld to Rylock at the Harper's Hideout. For this you will get good experience and some gold. However, bear in mind that should you ask Rylock for a reward, then you'll receive less then had you not asked for it.
    If you happened to run into Xzar nearby and he told you about his quest to save Montaron, you can confront Rylock about this house being a Harper hideout. If you confront Rylock with this information, he'll say that he can't let you inside the building until you do a task for him. He tell you to eliminate the mage Prebek who performs vile experiments on creatures. Yoshimo smells a rat though, he says it is too simple of a task to be granted entry into the Harper's hold. Anyhow, go to Prebek's house and dispatch him and his creatures.
    After you've killed Prebek, talk to Rylock and he will allow you to enter the Harper's Hold, however, he warns you to keep to the first floor only as the second floor is too dangerous and only Harpers can go there. At this point Edwin gets excited at the possibility of learning Harper's secrets.

Xzar tells you that somebody has killed his two apprentices and all the creatures. Hmm, who might have done that ? =)d When you return the bird to Xzar you'll see it transform into the assassin named Lucette instead of Montaron. Lucette then promptly kills Xzar. Such is the justice of the Harpers. If you have Jan in your party pay attention to his funny comments. Lucette also tells you that Xzar was a necromancer in the services of Zhentarim. She also mentions that the Harper Amulet that you've found on the Harper's Hideout is worthless as the true Harpers wear Harper Pins.

    Right after this encounter, Brus, the little kid from Slums, will run up to you and say that his uncle, Gaelan Bayle wants to talk to you. Apparently he wants to sweeten the deal. Brus says that you should go to talk with his uncle before you meet the Mistress.

    When you descend into this crypt, you'll see that the center of it is occupied by a massive sarcophagus. Should you be foolish enough to lift the lid of this sarcophagus, despite all the warning runes on its side, you'll see a Golden Skull. The Golden Skull is Kangaxx who is trapped in this tomb, it says that it needs your assistance. It tells you to find its arms, legs and torso in a similar looking crypts. Kangaxx says that you will be generously rewarded for your efforts.

    You can find the Golden Torso in one of the unmarked houses in the Bridge District, you'll have to defeat an elemental Lich to get it. The Arms and Legs can be found in the Upper Reaches area beneath Athkatla Sewers. To obtain this evil artefact, you'll have to defeat the Shade Lich. Once you have both pieces, bring them back here and put them inside the sarcophagus. But before you do that, prepare yourself for one of the toughest fights of the whole game.

    As soon as you put the Golden torso and the Golden Arms and Legs, you will awaken Kangaxx the Lich.
    NOTE: There is one really cheesy thing you can do with Kangaxx the Lich, if you'd really like to know, then hover your mouse over CHEESE.

    Defeating Kangaxx the Lich is only half the job as, when you kill him in his Lich form, KAngaxx will transform into his Demi-Lich form. Kangaxx is an incredibly tough adversary. To defeat him in his Lich form the first thing you'll need is to summon some monsters so that he releases his deadly arsenal of spells on them and not on your party members. Also, you need a +3 weapons or better in order to hit him. Kangaxx's defences is a standard Lich combination of some Contingencies with Spell Turning and Mislead, and he uses the standard offensive spells - Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting etc. Need more tactics on how to defeat Kangaxx.
    Once the Lich form is dead Kangaxx appears in his true form - that of a Demi-Lich.

    Kangaxx the Demi-Lich is an ultra tough opponent. It can be hit only with +4 weapons or better, casts Imprisonment at will, regenerates, can only be dealt a few points of damage at a time. Naaaasty !!! So, first of all, get yourself some +4 weapons and only then come in here to deal with Kangaxx. You can protect yourself with Protection from Undead scroll, although then Kangaxx will not be able to talk to you, and you do really need him to talk to you. What you should do is buy some scrolls of Protection from Magic over at the Adventurer's Mart, give them to your characters with +4 or better weapons, read the scroll and send that character to hack at Kangaxx's golden skull. If you happen to have the Holy Avenger +5, Carsomyr and a paladin who can wield it, then this weapon will do wonders.
