Illithium Ore

Illithium Ore is an item needed in the side quest Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple. You need to bring this to Sir Sarles in order to convince him. Afterwards, you discover that he tried to give you an impossible task to get rid of you . This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
This item can also be used to upgrade Mace of Disruption by taking both items to Cromwell.
==Location==
This item can be gained by killing Neb in the derelict house in the Athkatla Bridge district.
==Description==
==Notes==
*If presented to Sir Sarles, he will choose it unerringly over the chunk of Illithium Alloy and take it from the party – without the possibility to e.g. pickpocket it back. It could, however, be looted from his dead body at the most likely cost of reputation for killing an innocent.
*If you haven't yet cleared out the Vampire lair, it is possible to lead a vampire encounter into the building Sir Sarles is staying in. If you allow the vampire to kill him, you can recover the Illithium Ore without losing any reputation.
*If the party wishes to upgrade the Mace of Disruption and they have both the real and the fake ore in their inventory, they should remove the Illithium Ore from their inventory - simply dropping it on the ground before speaking to Sir Sarles will suffice - and speak to him with only the chunk of Illithium Alloy present in their inventory. This will reward less XP than giving him the pure illithium alloy, but will allow the party to upgrade a powerful anti-undead blunt weapon, which is arguably very useful given the number of liches, vampires and similar monsters the party will fight over the course of the game.
==Mod Content==
The Azengaard quest Mod provides an additional 200 pounds of Illithium Ore. It is hidden in a locked container.
