Elven Holy Water

Elven Holy Water is water that has been ritually sanctified in the name of elf deities by clerics. This imbues it with powerful abilities to combat the undead. It appears in both Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, as well as in the Enhanced Edition of both games, with a different origin and use in both games.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
Besides its quest-related uses, Elven Holy Water also works as a regular consumable item that inflicts 4d8 piercing damage to Undead. 
With the vial in the character's quick item slot, select the item and place a targeting cursor on the desired target. The item has a 40' range, and when released it sends a "Sparkle Blue" projectile No. 47 towards it.
The damage inflicted is considered nonmagical (so it ignores magic resistance and magic protections) and has a Power level of 0 (the best possible), so even a Lich would have trouble protecting against it, if it wasn't for the fact it does piercing damage, which makes Stoneskin block it (and most skeletal undead with 50% piercing resistance, for example, take half damage).
A Reflected Image or Mirror Image can fool the attack.
==Shadows of Amn==
In Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, elven holy water is a mandatory quest-related miscellaneous item that has to be used as part of the main quest The final battle with Bodhi quest.
===Acquisition===
After speaking to the elven leader Elhan at the beginning of Chapter 6 and beginning the quest The Elven City Requires My Aid, by speaking to him again and requesting aid in defeating Bodhi, he will give the player several vials of elven holy water and several Wooden Stakes. 
===Involvement===
On both levels of the vampire hideout in the Lower Tombs and Bodhi's Lair, there are bloodbath pools feeding the resident vampires on that level with unholy power. By "clicking" on these pools, the player is given the option to pour holy water into the bath, negating the power of that level's vampires in different ways.
* In the Lower Tombs: All vampires on that dungeon level are slowed and have their Strength reduced by 5 points (-5 Strength). (ref: SPIN818.spl)
* In Bodhi's lair: Bodhi is slowed, loses 2 points of both Strength and Dexterity (-2 Strength, -2 Dexterity), takes 20 acid damage, and her Regeneration is negated. It also sets a global that removes the MINHP1.ITM item from her equipped items, making her vulnerable to several status effects and hit point loss "death". (Ref: SPIN 817.spl)
==Throne of Bhaal==
In Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, elven holy water is an optional quest-related miscellaneous item that can be used as part of an unmarked quest in Saradush.
===Acquisition===
A vial of elven holy water can be purchased from the Temple of Waukeen in Saradush.
===Involvement===
In the Saradush prison, after finding the secret door deeper into the prison, the player will enter a room where the ghost of an old man will appear; a nearby barrel contains a Skull. In the secret part of the prison, the ghost will appear a second time near a set of three cells; if the skull from the barrel and the Rusted Amulet from the middle cell are placed in the first cell, the ghost will appear for a final time, giving the player the option to sanctify the grave with the elven holy water. Doing so releases the ghost to its final rest, granting the party 10,000 Quest EXP and access to a previously locked chamber in the prison, where they can retrieve the Bronze Ioun Stone by defeating a vampire.
