Exile 1/Avernum Walkthrough

Starting Out: The Nephil

When you first enter Avernum, you are weak and poor. First explore Fort Exile and get some supplies. A good first quest is the Bandit lair to the North. There is also a Bat cave in this area. Once you clean it out, Head further North to Formello. Talk to the mayor. She wants you to get her necklace from the Nephilim Fort. The first thing you should do is to get the Bronze key from the under construction Nephil fort on the North side of the large cave you started in. The key is behind a secret passage to the Southeast (I think.) Once you have it, head West to the big fort. If you cut around the back, you can avoid the guards at thfront gate, but you will have to fight some other guards (Not as tough.) Or you can head further North to Fort Dunvo and buy the boat and then you can avoid the guards altoghether. Get to the second floor and find a locked door in the South-Central area. The bronze key opens it. Note: There are several other necklaces here that are Red Herrings. Take it to Mayor Evelyn and get your reward: some gold and a Royal Token. That lets you see the king. Now it's time to head Southwest and see the king (Must Be Registered)

Other Nephil Missions

There is a Nephar fortwith some prisoners in it to the West. In here, you have to open the escape route by turning a wheel to the East of the prison, then opening the cell. You get your reward from the Captain in Cotra. There is also an altar with demons in the very Northwest corner. You may want to avoid that, as the Demons are tough. You'll be back to it eventually.

The Sliths

The King will give you your first mission: to kill Sss-Thsss, the Slithzerakai cheif. You may want to talk to Pathass in Gnass for some interesting information. Also, talk to the mage in Fort Dranlon. She wants you to return a Slith Tome. You will need an Onyx key, as well, to get to Sss-Thsss. Both are in the Slith town in the swamp across the river from Fort Dranlon. They are in the building to the North. Fight Sliths on the way in, enter the North door, and go into the West room, the one that hits you with lightning. a secret passage leads to a room with the Key and the Tome. The tome gets you Dispell barrier, which you will need later. Now to kill Thsss. Enter the river to the south of he Slith City and head South to another lake.You don't want to enter the fron t of that castle. Instead, enter from the west, and move to the Southm, and find a secret entrance. Disarm a trap and use your Onyx key to open the door. In the central area, behind another Onyx door is the stairs. Go up the stairs and head Southeast. When you get to the Southern part, work your way back West, and Go to the Northern part of the library area. Enter Sss-Thsss' lair and kill him. Head out the western room, pull the lever and leave. When you get your reward, you her some disturbing news. Head to the source of the trouble and mbe prepared to fight for your life. When that's over, you will get your next mission.

Other Slith Missions

There is a Slith mage school to the North of the big fort. It is really a demon laboratory. There is some pretty good treasure, if you can find a LOT of secret passages. It's pretty tough, be warned. To the West, North of Fort Emerald is a small Slith fortification. On the big lake by Cotra, there is a Slith river fort. There are some plans that someone in Fort Dranlon wants hidden in the treasure room to the Southwest. 'Lost Bassikava' is a self-contained dungeon where you must find six Silver Trinagles and take them to the gate to the Slith lands to obtain a sacred Answering Stone. It is more difficulyt then the others. There are Haakai and Ur-Bassilisks in there. There is also a Slith Temple, along the river to the West of the river fort. More on that later.

Demonslayer

Demonslayer is an awesome greatsword that does extra damage to demons. It is the only weapon that can damage Grah-Hoth. (I think.) It was brought down to Avernum by the expidition led by Karzoth. When his expidition, like all the others, was brought to a close, the sword was shattered by a Haakai and the pieces were takes to diferent places. The Pommel was taken by the Nephar. Remember that altar with demons? It is there. The blade is in the very heart of the Slith temple. To get to it, you need the key in a secret library to the Northeast of the first floor. The stars up are to the Northeast. Circle around untill you reach the end, and enter the secret passage. You will fight a lot of Sliths, and then you can enter the temple. Fight a lot of sliths and grab the blade. Before you go, there is some lightly guarded treasure to the West. On you way out you will be attacked again. The tip is more difficult to obtain.

The Crypt of Drath

The tip of Demonslayer has been taken by the Lich Drath, and brought to his crypt. His crypt is in the Cavern of Spiriths, West of the Slith Fortifications, and East of the Abyss. You cAn also get there by boat, after going through the Waterfall Warren. Once you enter, you will find that you need a key that Motrax knows of. You will also find your progress blocked by a pit trap. Talk to the dragon Motrax, in the area inbetween Formello and Fort Duvno. He will tell you it is to the East. Find an eerie cave where there was once a battle. The key is there. Now to get over the pit. If you fall in, you can get back up to the South, but you can't open the gates you need to open. There is a secret passage past the trap. You will now need the key. Fight your way through untill you reach the stairs down. If you have trouble with the vampire you might want to wait to fight Drath. Once you're downstairs, turn the wheel, opening the gates. You can now go to the dock to the South. You will find a set of stairs blocked by two gates. You will need to turn two wheels to open them. The first is hidden to the West. The second is to the Northwest, in the demon labratory, off of one of the cells. Once the gates are open, you can enter the third floor. Head East through the secret passage untill you reach a teleporter. You are now faced with three teleporters. Two of them take you to another identicle place. One makes undead appear. This, of cource, is the right one. After fighting them three times, you should find yourself somewhere else. There is a secret passage here, that leads to Drath himself. After fighting him, there is treasure to the North, and his crypt to the South. The tip is in his crypt, as is the teleporter out. You can now have Boutell in Fort Duvno reforge it.

The Tower of Magi

Before you can free Grah-Hoth, you need the Blessed Athame. It is in the Tower of Magi, in the demon lab off of a storage room marked restricted. It is in a lava pit. Now it is time to go to Skarragath.

Freeing him

Skarragath is near Erika's Tower, West of the Abyss. You will need to turn two wheels to the North and South. This will make the town hostile. You will need to fight the Lich and a lot of vengeful Shades. Past Skarraghath is the prison itself. There are golems, Black Shades ang Guardians (Both of which are invisible). You need to find a secret are to the Southeast, outside of the tower. Next, find a secret entrance to the tower that leads to a teleporter. This takes you to a blocked area, with another teleporter. Here, you can enter the room where he is trapped. You the Athame to free him, and teleport out. You have unleashed a great horror, and now you must destroy it.

What else you need

To get to the Tower of Grah-Hoth, you will need the Orb of Thralni. It is in the Waterfall Warren, West of the Slith lands. The central part of the dungeon is full of Basilisks. Avoid it. Instead, take the boat around to the Northeast, and take the orb from Thralni's body. to the East is a vampire. If you kill hime, you can get all of the first seven spells at level two. Optionally, you can get the Giant's boat. It allows you to avoid a trip through a swamp and also allows you to get to some other areas, which lead to useful information. To get it, rait the Giant Fortress. You will fall down a pit to the basement. Fight your way back up. The key is in a chest in the basement, and the way out is through the guardhouse, right by the entrance.

The Tower of Grah-Hoth

The tower is all the way North. You will need to fight a Haakai to get there. Use it as a test of your strength. Then enter the large, lava-filled cave. You will need to talk to a ghost, who will tell you of another ghost, who will tell you how to get in. You will need the Orb of Thralni to get across the pit. Once you're in the tower, head West along the lava. The West part of the tower is not hostile. The imps tell of to talk tro an imp in the trash pit. It tells you how to get to the back entrance. Fight your way though the tunnel. to break through the end, you will need a hammerin the tunnel. Once through, fight the deoms and enter an open area to the West. Go North. Avoid going South. There is a Haakai there that you can't get at. Before you get the the place that causes the fight to start, cast all of the enhancement spells you can. The fight is a tough one. Don't bother attacking anyone but Hoth. The others will disappear when he dies. It is a very tough fight. If you win, you will be well rewarded.

Erika

Now it is time to seek revenge on the Empire. You will want to talk to Erika. She is across the river from Skarragath. First talk to the Witch, and finde six pieces of fungus iun that area. You can now get past one area of the tower. You can still do that part if you want. Kill the goblins and go through the maze. You now have to go through the corral and turn a wheel to the South that makes monsters appear. Fight them and you can talk to Erike. Make sure you get the key to get in easily.

The Five Broaches

You will need to get five broaches to get your revenge. They were brought down by the first expidition. One is in the possesion of the Giant Intelligent Friendly Talking Spiders. They want you to rescue a prisoner from the arenea. The second is in the spiral grypt in the Grim Cavern. You will need to find a lot of secret paggages to get to it. You will have to jump down a lot of ledges. There is a wheel that lets you back up. At the bottom, you can get the broach and temporarily stop the curse. The next is in the possesion of Motrax. He will let you have it, but you will need to fight fire lizards. The fourth is in the possesion of the dragon Pyrog. You will need to kill him. He is located near the Giant cave. Go into his treasure room and find the secret passage to where the broach is. The fifth can be bought from a man in Mertis. Once you get them, Erika will tell you how to summon her.

Hathawisa, Patrik, and the Royal Seal

You also nead a royal seal. It is in Hoth's oold fortress, Ackronath. It is the most terrible, horrific dungeon ever. To get in, you need a gold key. It is in the castle. Patrik has the password. His wife has a disease. Graymodle Salve will cure it. The recipe is in a shack South of the Spider Cave. The ingredient is on an island in the River that feeds from the Northern waters (Not the one the passes by Erika's Tower, but the one from which you cannot enter the Northern Waters, North of the Slith Lands). Once you make the potion, give it to Hathawisa. Talk to Rone, in the Castle. He will tell you to ask Patrik about Akhronath. Greatful for saving his wife, he tells you the password. Get the key (It's int he Southeast corner of the castle). You may now enter Akhronath. It is in the lava, West of the Tower of Magi. Good luck. You'll need it. The seal is in the large lava-free chamber to the Northwest. The only sane way to get there is to find a boat. It's fairly straight-foreward, but fiendishly tough. You'll need yo climb a lot of stairs, and cross a river of lava many times. Soon you will reach a structure. You will need to go East to a pool of lava, jump off a ledge, and turn a wheel. You can now enter the structure. Jump into the pit and take the seal. Atairs will appear, and so will mung demons. When you finally slay them, you can escape. Good luck!

The Rituals

You will need two rituals. One is knows by Aydin, Empire traitor. Their tower is blocked by a deadly field. You need to drink from the enlightening pool and use the secret passage to get to your waighting boat. If you aren't enlightened when you get there, you die. Once inside, talk to the three people, get the ritual from Aydin, and make sure you get the spell that lets you out. The other ritual is known to the dragon Khoth, East of the fortress of Grah-Hoth. After being tested, he will ask for an empire scroll. It is in a strange cave across a large pit in the Giant Cave. Thralni across and enter. You will be teleported to another cave. You want to use the hidden teleporter, that takes you to a recieving pad. After fighting the invisible monsters, take the East passage into the Empire fort. The scroll in in the eastern room. The exit is South of the recieving pad. Take it to Khoth and you're ready.

The Two Towers and Hawthorne

When you're ready, head to the Black Spire. It is along the river South of where Khoth is, through a secret passage. After fighting some Black Sahdes, Go North. Don't turn the wheel untill you place the empire seal in the fresco. You may now turn the wheel and continue. You can pass the next tower using the ritual Khoth told you. After fighting a few demons, you willcome across a barrier you should be able to pass. You will later need the Orb of Thralni to pass. Now you can step onto the Teleporter Enchancer. Go North and fight for your life. Circle around to the East (DON'T go West). You will eventually (hopefully) reach Hawthorne. Ignore the guards. Attack Hawthorne. Once he dies, you will be teleported home.

Joining the Scimitar

To get started on your escape, you need to join the organization that most wants to escape. The Scimitar. Talk to Malka, in Dharmon. She refers you to Royce, in Blosk. Talk to Calder, in Bargha. There is a secret door to the basement. Cleese, the man downstars will send you to break an orb in the gramlin cave. There is a secret passage and a teleporter. There is a secret door to the South. The teleporter there takes you back to the entrance; There are runes that you can touch to make the teleporter take you to the right place. Don't look into it; break it. The way out is to the South. Don't take the obvious portal. Take the hidden one. There is a secret passage out to the South. Talk to Clesse, and you're in. Talk to the Woman to the South. You may now ask Athron, Patrik, and Erika to share their pieces of the password.

Sulfrus

The Exit is controlled by the dragon Sulfrus, in the dangerous tunnels beyond Fort Remote. She wants two items before she will let you go. The Onyx Scepter, and the Silver circlet.

The Silver Circlet

You can purchase the information on the traps guarding it from the bartender in Cotra. First you need to impress a shady man in Spire by fighting in the arena twice. You also need a key hidden in a cave to the West of Spire. Then you will find it in the Mayor's chambers in Spire. Enter from a secret passage to the Northeast.

The Tower of Magi, Revisited

Another thing you will need is the Onyx Scepter. Talk to the apprentice in the Tower of Magi. He will tell you where a message from Solberg is. Then go to Solberg's Tower. It is off the river near Formello. Solberg will give you a crystal key. Use the key to get into the back of the demon lab. There are some demons and secret passages thart lead to the end. The Haakai is past a lava pit. The fight isn't that tough. There are no other demons. Once you kill hime. Take the Scepter. Now the apprentice takes his vow of silence, X will teach you anatomy, and Linda will kick you out.

The Password

To find the password, you need to talk to the right people. Aimee, in the Northern waters will give you part. So will Athron, Patrik, and Erika, once you join the Scimitar.

The Final Gauntlet

Give Sulfrus what she wants. You will then be attacked by gazers and eze beasts. You can Thralni around them. Time to enter the final gauntlet. If you go North, you will be trapped. There is a way to escape further North. Travel West past the giant. This is where you need the password. Next you will come across an unstable bridge. To get across, turn a hidden wheel. You won't be aable to get back out now. The next area is a trip up a lot of ledges, back and forth, with giants above attacking you. There are some good potions hidden at the top. East of there is a wheel surrounded by barriers. Turn it. The next area is similar to the area with giants and ledges. The difference is, it has stalagmites, and golems. It is very dark here, too. There are a number of wheels you must turn. If you turned the one with the barriers, the first is accessable. It is near the end. Turn it, and monsters appear. You can now get at one off of the East guardhouse. Next comes the lava, And another wheel, and more monsters. This one opens the Stalagmites to the South. The wheel there makes more monsters and finally opens up the stalamites at the North end of the cave. You are now in a building outside! You can escape if you want, or you can stay. There is also a room where you can sleep, and a portal should you want to return to Avernum. Congratulations!

3.0 The Answers:

1. To free Grah-Hoth, you need to go to the tower he's imprisoned in, west of Spire in the Abyss. It's beyond a well-guarded fort; you'll need to kill a bunch of guards to get through. Once there, the flask he's trapped in is inside the tower. Go find it...

2. The statues are not relevant until very late in the game. Don't worry about them until you've met Erika. 79

3. You get the royal token by returning the mayor of Formello's necklace to her. Go ask her about 'necklace.'

4. To get the key to the stone door in the Crypt of Drath, go visit Motrax, the dragon far to the northeast. Ask him about 'bribe.' He tells you about the key. Go find the battlefield where the people he describes were slaughtered - it's a bit south, then a bit east. You'll find the key there.

5. The slith tome is in the slith town across the river from Fort Dranlon, and to the north end of the swamp. Go the the temple in the northeast corner of the town. The tome is hidden up there.

6. The first step in joining the Scimitar is talking to Malka in Dharmon. She refers you to Royce, in Blosk. Ask him about 'scimitar.' To go farther, go to... 76

7. To get past the blue field, find the pool on the island to the west. When you bathe in it, you become immune to the field for a brief time. Go to the pool through the secret passage at the east side of the island. Bathe in the pool. Go straight to the field.

8. You get the password to enter the tower from an outdoor special encounter behind a hidden passage to the east of the Tower of Magi. Kelner, in the Tower of Magi, knows about it. Ask him about 'haakai.'

9. To get into the king, you need a royal token... 3

10. Grah-Hoth went to his fortress, at the very, very northwest corner of Exile.

To find the boat that will get you up there... 39

11. You get the first part of the password from the dragon Athron. Ask him about 'password.'

Athron? Where's Athron? 80

12. To get past that big chasm, first hit the button beyond the secret passage in the corridor leading there. Go to the chasm, and hit the button nearby. Run across the second bridge.

Fight your way to the gauntlet, near the end of the level. You need to hit three buttons hidden throughout this huge cave. This clears the way to the exit from the underworld, at the north end of the cave. The best tip for surviving wandering around: go with your lights out. The monsters won't be able to attack you from far away.

13. To get through the Black Spire, you need the royal seal. Talk to Aydin, in the hidden tower on one of the northern islands. To find the way in... 72

Once Aydin's tower, ask him about 'trap.'

When in the Black Spire, go to the fresco at the north end. Press the Seal in the lower corner. Go to the eastern door. Pull the nearby lever. Leave.

14. Graymold can be found at the north end of one of the rivers. Start in a boat by Fort Dranlon. Go downriver south until you see a branch going west. Go west until you can go north, and keep going north until you reach the very head of the river (you will be blocked from boating further by waterfalls). The graymold is nearby.

15. First, heal Hathwisa (in Patrick's tower). 81

Then, ask Patrick about 'fort.' Go to his office, and search his desk. Go to the end of the hidden corridor and search the bookshelf. Finally, go the the Castle. The key is hidden behind a magic barrier in the southwest corner.

16. To get to the onyx scepter, you need the crystal key from Solberg's tower. To find it, go the the special encounter described in... 8

Get past the magic barrier to get into the large hidden area in the southwest corner of the Tower of Magi. Get past the huge magic barrier with the crystal key. Fight through the tiny maze beyond. Kill the really big demon at the end of the maze (Demonslayer is a big help for this). The onyx scepter is there.

17. To get the door back open, search the north end of the rooms at the west side of the crypt. When you find a statue, pull the arm down and run (not walk) to the front door of the crypt.

18. The gold key is beyond this barrier. To find out how to get in, go to... 15

19. The blade is hidden in the second floor of the huge slith temple, which is upriver north of Almaria, at the north end of the swamp. To get to the blade requires a key, which you will find hidden in the northeast corner of the first floor. Be prepared for lots of fighting.

20. You need the onyx key in the slith castle. You can find one in the slith town or the slith mage school, both to the north of the slith castle. The town is across the river from Fort Dharmon. The mage school is down the river to the west.

21. Any weapon can kill Grah-Hoth, but Demonslayer works best. To survive long enough to get to him, try casting a lot of protection spells just before tripping the special that exposes yourself to him.

Focus fire on Grah-Hoth. When he dies, the other demons disappear.

22. To get to the exit from the underworld, you want to pass the huge energy barrier in Sulfras' layer, just near where Sulfras sits. Get the silver circlet and the onyx scepter, and ask Sulfras for 'permission.'

23. To get started on your revenge, talk to the person who most desires the blood of Hawthorne: Erika. Go to her tower and ask her about 'mission' and then 'instructions.'

24. Find the witch to the southeast. Get her the mold (it's hidden beyond secret passages in the vicinity - don't miss the bunch just next the where the witch is). That makes getting through the tower easier.

Enter the tower from the south. Dispel the barrier. To get past the goblins: 25

After that, it's just fighting and searching for secret doors to get to Erika. Once there, be sure to search her library. You'll find a key which will make it much easier to get in in the future.

25. 'Pierce them both to get the prize.' Take it at its word. Kill the goblins. Search for secret doors in the wall behind them. Go down the middle corridor.

26. Talk to Gilbert (sitting by the fire). Ask him about 'door.' Go northwest. The door will be there.

27. To join the Scimitar, you need to talk to the right people. Go to... 6

28. Aydin, in the hidden tower on one of the northern islands, tells you how to find the passage to the teleporter to the surface world. In short, go to the river to the west of Aydin's tower. Go down it to the west, and the to the south. Search for secret passages on every ledge with swamp on it. Eventually, you'll find the beginning of the passage.

29. It's a giant slayer. It does bunches of extra damage to giants.

30. One of the brooches is on a body in the lowest parts of the Dark Pit, northeast of Mertis. You need a way to dispel barriers to get to it.

31. The Blessed Athame is in the secret area to the southwest in the Tower of Magi. Find a big room with two magic barriers side by side at the north end. Dispel the west barrier. Beyond it will be a 3x3 room with lava. Search for secret doors in the east wall of that room. In the room to the east, you'll find the Blessed Athame.

32. There is a set of slith plans hidden in the slith fort to the south of Fort Dharmon on a small island. Take the boat in the fort across the water and search to the southwest.

33. You will need to get the Royal Seal and 5 brooches (4 won't work). You will also need to get instructions from Aydin (in a tower on one of the northern islands) and the Dragon Khoth. Then, you need to learn a ritual from Erika to summon her. You get it by getting all 5 brooches and asking her for 'instructions.'

Finally, you need to find a special teleport pad created by the surface worlders. Erika will teleport you to the surface, where you can try to assassinate Hawthorne.

34. You get the second part of the password from Aimee. She lives on one of the northern islands, to the north of Pyrog's lair. Enter her hut and don't attack her.

To find out how to get a boat to get there... 39

35. First, you need to get over the chasm keeping you from Grah-Hoth's tower. 69

Then, you need to get past the lava. To do this, talk to a certain imprisoned demon to the northeast of the steam-filled cavern in the southeast end of Exile. He gives you good instructions to get into the fort, but only if King Micah has given you the mission to kill Grah-Hoth.

Finally, you need to get past the barriers to the north in Grah-Hoth's tower. To do this, talk to the angels hidden past secret passages in the lava filled area in the outdoors just to the southeast of the tower. One of them will tell you how to get past the barriers. Getting past by drinking at the fountains works, but it sucks your experience.

36. You need a royal token. 3

37. The buttons don't have anything to do with getting in. Search the stone area to the southwest of the tower for secret passages. Examine the runes (this area is still inside the town, not outdoors).

43. You need to get the crystal key from Solberg, who is in a hidden tower surrounded by lava near Formello. Go to... 8

Go through the passage to the room with the undead, kill them, and leave to the south. The teleporter there takes you back to the stairs up. Don't forget to grab the piece of Demonslayer!

86. The trick to getting through the ruined demon fort is to find the boat. It's to the west of the entrance. With the boat, the thing is difficult, but possible. You'll need to wend your way through the dungeon. The thing you need is to the far northwest.

87. The prisoners are in the Nepharim fort, north of Cotra. The easiest was to rescue them is to enter and find, near the entrance, the secret passage to the west.

Sneak northeast, going to the north side of the northernmost building. Enter the room the the east of the portcullis and pull the lever. Enter the building just to the south, and free the prisoners. Escape through the secret passages around the dungeon.

88. The main thing to remember is that your job is to kill Hawthorne. You're at the south end of the dungeon. He's at the north.

Hawthorne isn't too strong. All you really need to do is get close, and a few kill spells will finish him off. To get close, you simply need to get past all the guards in the way.

There are many ways to do it. One of the better ones is to, when you arrive, kill the guards in the room with you. Go up to the north doors. Haste everyone repeatedly. Use a lot of protection spells and potions. Then make a run for it. Don't stop, just charge. Between the haste and protection, you should be able to get within spell range of Hawthorne. Then cut loose with your spells. With luck and a decent party, you'll succeed.

89. Go to the Waterfall Maze. Start one space south of the sign that says "The Waterfall Warren."

Go 5 west,1 south and down the waterfall, 1 south, 3 east, 3 south, 3 east, 1 south and down the waterfall, 2 south, 5 west, 1 south and down the waterfall. Keep heading roughly south. After the second waterfall, the dungeon you're looking for is to the east.

90. It's hidden in the north end of a dungeon in the waterfall maze. Can't get through the maze? 89

91. You are supposed to kill Pyrog. All four other dragons know something useful. If you killed one of them before you got what you're needed, you're stuck.

One is in a temple (to the northwest) accessable only by boat. Finally, one is in the caves of the Spider Lord, hidden to the northwest, by a large swamp.

93. The key to the temple on the second floor is hidden in a secret room in the northeast corner of the first floor.

94. One of the pieces of mold is on the other side of the river. You need either the Orb of Thralni or one of the giant's boats to get to it.
