Tips and Misc
- You kick this quest off by using the Inkwell of Aureon to unwrite the Codex's sentience. For once, something goes to plan! At least, until Vecna turns up.
- Vecna takes the Codex (from which, of course, you've just removed the ability to resist him) and sets his forces upon the University – which is now at risk of being destroyed outright!
- Head through the university basement and to the first staircase, running into a Balor on the way. (Luckily, the Balor can't be bothered to take you on directly, and just sets some Dretches on you.)
- As you go through this area, you'll see two locked barriers.
- The first area, locked with blue and green levers, contains the Controlled Nightmare fight and the red lever.
- The second area, locked with red and yellow levers, contains the Necromancy Professor, Sir Jarus ir'Omik.
- As you go through this area, you'll see two locked barriers.
- Fight off a Goristro and head up the stairs to the Lower University (the blue lever is under the stairs.)
- Eight of the missing students are in the Lower University area – one each in the library and lecture hall, and six randomly located in the classrooms, generally in pairs.
- After the Demon portal, you can head West (minding the acid pool – hires will just jump into the pool) for the yellow lever and a locked chest, or go east to the stairway up to the Lower Library (the green lever is under the stairs.)
- Head through the library keeping an eye out for two more students. A door here will take you to the Lower Quad, where you can find the last two students (in the bushes) and the Controlled Death Slaad.
- Finally, fight and slay Archmage Lathornal and head east to witness the Balor being driven off by a Red Dragon in a familiar hat – or, as he finally introduces himself, The Traveler.
- Morgrave University may have survived the attack, but Vecna now possesses both the Codex and the Planar Eyes. Luckily, it sounds like the Traveler has a plan...
