You’ll need to pass a Perception check near the steps to discover a hidden passage that takes to you where the Glass Key is. It is inside a chest. This key allows you to access a portal back in Areelu’s lab. In a Balor area, there is a secret area south of the house, where you pick up another piece of Areelu’s research. You encounter Areelu at the end of this area. The previous two choices with the ghosts change what you must select. The first one is always the same. This means you must play the game of asking questions. Being Golden Dragon isn’t required. Don’t smash the projector. If you mess up the combination, you made a quicksave earlier for this reason. If you forgive both the correct answers are; 1. Sadness or Anger 2. His guilt is indisputable, but he had already suffered enough. (if forgiven) 3. He deserved death. If you refuse both it is :1. Sadness/Anger 2. For the sake of Justice 3. Betrayal deserves punishment ; the first ghost is always the second question, and the second ghost is always the third question. Feel free to interchange the two if you desire. (Ie forgive 1, don’t forgive the other)
- After the encounter with the Hand of the Inheritor – do not quit the area immediately – make sure to travel back to the south of prison to pick up an important piece of information from Hepzamirah’s ghost. It is located behind two athletics checks.
- Defeat Deskari and make your way back to Areelu’s Lab. Once at the lab, go to the Lexicon Project and enter a protal that will take you to a hidden area of the lab.
- Upon discovering the hidden section of the lab, you can try to convince Areelu to attain Godhood which requires mulitple high skill checks.
Obtaining Godhood
If you’ve met all the requirements, you’ll be able to talk to Areelu about obtaining godhood. In order to do so, you will have to collect certain items, as well as completing the required research projects. At this point, it is advisable to save your game often so that you can reload your last saved game in case it doesn’t go as planned.
- First, you will need 1 Nahyndrian Crystal, and to obtain this, you need to have Midnight Bolts and use it n Demon Lords to extract Fresh Nahyndrian Crystals, the more crystals you have, the more companions in your party will be able to ascend to godhood. You can find the Midnight Bolt in locations such as Ivory Sanctum, Xanthir’s Chamber, Areelu’s Lab, Noctiula’s Palace, Projector Room, Mines, Iz, and Ruins.
- Second, complete the Lexicon, the second part of the lexicon is located in Noctiula’s Palace in the Projector Room. You need to pass a Perception Check to discover Lexicon’s hiding place.
- Once you combine the book, you will need to pass multiple high-level skill checks. And you are required to pass them all. Alternatively, you can complete Elven Notes with the Storyteller to not require the checks.
- Next, complete 4 Research Projects such as the Sword of Valor, Nahyndrian Crystal, Areelu’s Notes & Pulura’s Map. The Sword of Valor can be researched at any time much earlier in the game, while the last remaining projects can only be researched in the fifth act of the game.
- To obtain godhood for the entire party, you require more than one Nahyndrian Crystal. They are obtained from Demon Lords, by shooting a Midnight Bolt at them and at times, pick it up mid-combat. The Demon Lords that yield the crystals are Deskari, Baphomet and Areshkigal – all having 2 encounters in addition to the very first encounter of Deskari at the beginning.(the purple crystal dagger)
