Shadow Cursed Lands - Underdark entrance
To reach Act 2 from the Underdark, head to Grymforge.
Enter the elevator the two drinking Duergar were once standing by.
After the elevator ride, you’ll end up in a ruined temple.
Go upstairs and continue forward until you meet a Weary Traveller.
Talk to him - having Gale in your party unlocks additional dialogue options.
After some brief dialogue, you might take him directly to camp.
If you so desire, it’s possible for you to ask him to wait for you there instead.
Regardless of your choice, you won’t miss this conversation.
Search the nearby corpse and leave the temple.
You’ll find yourself in the cursed lands.
You need a constant light source to traverse it safely.
you’re able to use regular torches or the Light cantrip.
Without a light source, the curse will gradually hurt your party until you die.
Keep going straight ahead until you reach a bridge.
it’s possible for you to talk to Shadowheart here, if she’s in your party.
Go across the bridge to soon trigger a cutscene, and then a battle.
You’ll face six shadows - they’re resistant to most damage aside from Radiant.
They can alsoturn invisible in the dark - spells such as Dancing Lights and Daylight will expose them.
If you have a Cleric in your party, the Spirit Guardians spell should make this fight trivial.
After the battle, follow the Harpers to a safe haven.
you could spot a dead raven along the way - clicking it triggers a fight.
If you’d like to end the battle quickly, trigger it after casting Spirit Guardians.
Keep going forward until you reach a stone bridge.
You’ll meet Jaheira - a druid, here to slay the evil at Moonrise Towers.
She starts off hostile and distrustful, though you’re able to change her mind about you.
Either way, you’re free to either explain everything to her or avoid answering.
Regardless of your choice, you’ll have full access to the Inn.
There are some familiar faces here, such as Alfira, Mol and Dammon.
Speak with the Harper Quartermaster by the bridge and Dammon - both are selling some useful gear.
Once you’re done, enter the building, talk to Jaheira, then to Isobel.
Last Light Inn
After a cutscene you’ll be thrown into a battle.
There are many enemies, who tend to focus down Isobel.
Keep her alive at all costs.
It won’t be easy, but once you’re done, talk to Jaheira to continue the quest.
After the battle, you could head towards the Moonrise Towers.
Agree, follow him to the ambush site and prepare for another battle.
How to get a Moon Lantern?
If you’ve saved Isobel, the Harpers will lead you to the ambush site.
The battle against the convoy is difficult.
After the battle, search the Drider’s corpse for the Moon Lantern, triggering a cutscene.
They have some interesting items in stock.
Go to the main hall to meet Ketheric Thorm.
He’ll pass judgment on a group of goblins for their failure.
Their fate is up to you - killing them will divert suspicion from yourself.
Agree to find Balthazar at the Thorm mauseolum, go to his room and take the lantern.
This activates a pedestal, on which you must place the heart.
You’ll unlock a secret room.
If Gale’s in your party, clicking the circle on the desk will trigger some special dialogue.
