Cloak of the White Cape & Stormy Coast Armory

After teleporting back to the Lower City Main Wall, your first stop is the Cloak of the White Cape, located right next to the portal. Here, you'll find familiar faces like Dribbles the Clown and Baron. Stock up on potions from Dribbles!

Next, head south of the Main Wall teleportation circle to the Stormy Coast Armory. Two merchants await with unique equipment:

Sorcerous Sundries: Quests and Rare Gear

Adjacent to the armory is the renowned Sorcerous Sundries. Upon entering, you'll witness Astarion confronting a magic servant.

Dialogue Choice: When discussing the Nightsong, be strategic. Revealing you've found her might lead to demands, while silence is often the safest bet to avoid Astarion's sneak attacks.

Inside, meet Roland at the counter. He's nursing some wounds, but you can still purchase valuable items from him:

Ascending to Lorroakan's Tower

Head upstairs to confront Lorroakan's projection.

Lorroakan's projection

Lorroakan opens four portals, each with a description of the Nightsong. The leftmost portal is your key to the tower's summit. Choose wisely, as the wrong portal means a swift, fatal fall!

At the summit, feign cooperation with Lorroakan, promising to bring him the Nightsong.

The Hidden Vaults and Secrets

To access the lower levels, drink a Potion of See Invisibility, cast Feather Fall, and jump down.

Jumping to the lower level

Loot the chests for potion supplies. Locate the webbed button marked "Below." This requires invisibility detection.

Webbed button 'Below'

Other webbed buttons trigger Arcane Turrets or poison gas. The vault is also accessible from here.

Use invisibility detection on the lower level to find two levers that disable the arcane barrier. This grants you the rare armor Robe of the Weave and the legendary weapon Malkosh's Khopesh.

In the cellar, loot the room. Reading "The Red Knight's Last Will" grants a spell scroll.

The Red Knight's Last Will

Proceed through the south door. Don't forget to open the chests in the corridor!

Corridor chests

Behind the east corridor chest lies an illusionary wall. Inside, discover a "Unique Lantern" containing potions and camp supplies.

Elminster's and Karsus's Rooms

Head to the room labeled "Elminster." If the Knock spell doesn't work, follow the sequence: "Silver Hand" - "Evocation" - "Wish" to find the lever.

Elminster's room

Inside, find the rare armor Cap of the Firebrand and other valuable items.

Cap of the Firebrand

Take the Savant's Codex from the display case.

Savant's Codex

Reading the Savant's Codex allows you to decipher the Selûnite Necromancy Tome from Chapter 1. A successful DC 20 Perception check reveals the 5th-level necromancy spell "Dance of Death."

Now, proceed to the "Karsus" room. If Knock fails, use the sequence: "Silver Hand" - "Abjuration" - "Silver" to find the lever.

Karsus's room

Here, you'll find the rare weapon Foehammer, the excellent weapon Legion's Greataxe, and other armaments. Karsus's Chronicle contains vital information on Netherese magic.

"Silver Hand" rooms lead to branching paths with little of note. You can return to the second floor of Sorcerous Sundries via the portal.

Gale's Quest and Mystra's Revelation

Speak with Gale. He believes obtaining the Crown of Netheril and the three Netherstones could allow for its reforging.

Elminster will visit your camp. If Gale is present, you'll learn Mystra awaits him at the Storm Coast Sanctuary.

After a Long Rest, return to the tower and speak with Aylin. She and Isobel will depart for a Selûnite settlement but will return to aid you in the final battle.

Final Preparations and Gale's Fate

Before leaving Sorcerous Sundries, check behind the Fire Elemental by the door for equipment and scrolls. Use invisibility to snag them.

Fire Elemental loot

These include the Staff of the Golden Dragon, Cap of the Frost, and Grasp of Winter.

Bring Gale to the Storm Coast Chapel near the Stone Lord's Gate for his meeting with Mystra.

Gale meets Mystra

Mystra reveals the "Orb of Destruction" within Gale is Karsus's Weave. She offers to remove it if you surrender the Crown of Netheril. Alternatively, Gale can control Karsus's Weave with the Crown, potentially altering the story's path significantly.
