Wings walkthrough

This is a walkthrough for the content added by the BG2 mod "Wings".
__TOC__
== Friendship and romance ==
As in the unmodded game, Aerie may romance a male human, elf, half-elf, gnome or halfling protagonist.
The mod also adds a friendship path for protagonists who don't qualify for the romance, or choose not to enter it, or did something that ended the romance.
[TODO: Add a list of romance/friendship talks here like on the Fade NPC walkthrough]
Aerie's quest and encounter content (see below) is available even if you are not in a friendship or romance with her.
== Banters ==
The mod adds banters between Aerie and the other BioWare and Beamdog companions.
While most banters occur randomly during your travels, some are tied to special encounters, such as:
* One if you enter the Copper Coronet (after completing Free Hendak and the slaves) with both Aerie and Neera in the party.
* One if you approach Joe in the Athkatla Docks with both Aerie and Imoen in the party.
== ENCOUNTER: The Spectrum Knights ==
* Return to Waukeen's Promenade 24+ hours after completing the base-game quest Investigate the circus tent, to encounter the Black Knight, White Knight, Green Knight, and Pink Knight standing outdoors near the circus tent during daytime6 a.m. to 5 p.m..When you approach them, a humorous dialog cutscene ensues in which the "knights", who are part of a circus act, bicker among themselves.If Aerie is in the party, she is embarrassed and reasserts her decision to leave the circus life behind.
== ENCOUNTER: Tira ==
* Re-enter the Circus Tent in Waukeen's Promenade 24+ hours afterTechnically, the first conversation with Tira is available immediately after the Circus Tent has been restored at the end of that quest; but the second and third conversations are only available 24+ hours after the quest. completing the base-game quest Investigate the circus tent, and talk to the circus member Tira three times with Aerie in the party.Tira used to bully Aerie, and still tries to get a rise out of her. At the end of the third conversation, a cutscene ensues in which Tira attacks Aerie and Aerie responds by temporarily turning her into a chicken. The other circus workers have some funny remarks if you talk to them after this.
== QUEST: Raptair ==
* Travel to the Umar Hills with Aerie in the party.To the right of the inn, a little girl named Lilian initiates dialog and tells you about a suspicious deva.
* Walk north a short distance, to see a winged elf named Raptair preaching to a crowd of villagers . You witness a cutscene in which he scams the villagers by pretending to be a deva.Talk to Raptair with Aerie in the party. She recognizes that he is an avariel like herself, and tries to expose his fraud – but he just insults her until she gets emotional and runs away.
* Find Aerie next to Lilian, and talk to her to get her to rejoin the party. She wants to make another try.
* Talk to Raptair with Aerie in the party again. This time, she conducts the conversation more thoughtfully, and manages to persuade the villagers that Raptair is a fake deva. He flies away.
** OPTIONAL: Talk to Lilian again. She suggests that Raptair flew straight west.
* Walk to the center-left part of the Umar Hills map, to find Raptair again , counting his loot. Aerie initiates conversation, and pleads with him to find out if her parents are still alive. But he is unsympathetic, and flies away with his loot – and spawns three hostile creatures2 Air Elementals and 1 Phoenix to cover his escape.
** After you defeat the creatures, Aerie initiates conversation and discovers that one of them (a phoenix) dropped a warm gem. With your permission, she picks it up and it becomes an immovable item"Mysterious Gem", item code B2#PHNX. (Can't be moved or dropped, just like Minsc's Boo.) in her inventory (see the ↓ Ammale section for the consequences of this).
** Raptair is now gone from the Umar Hills for good. Lilian has some more optional flavor dialog.
* You meet Raptair again later in the game:
** POSSIBILITY 1: If you haven't yet completed the ↓ Wing Taker quest, then this follow-up encounter happens in the Slaver Stockade of the Athkatla Slums at the end of that quest.
** POSSIBILITY 2: If you already completed the ↓ Wing Taker quest before meeting Raptair, then this follow-up encounter instead happens as a random enconter while traveling via the worldmap with Aerie in the party in chapter 6.After meeting Drizzt.
** Either way, this time, Raptair has been captured by slavers. Kill them, and then talk to him to free him.If Aerie is in the party, he expresses his gratitude by promising to look for her parents (). Otherwise, he flies away without much thanks (.
* ADDENDUM: If Raptair promised to look for Aerie's parents, then you meet him once again in the Throne of Bhaal portion of the game (see ↓ Wing Avenger).
== FAMILIAR: Ammale ==
* During the ↑ Raptair encounter (see that section for details), Aerie can come into possession of a Mysterious Gem that was dropped by a dying phoenix.
* 3+ days later, Aerie initiates conversation and excitedly tells you that the gem has activated. A cutscene ensues, in which a phoenix-like fire creature is reborn from the gem. It turns out that it is friendly, can talk, and is now bonded to Aerie. She names it Ammale.
* From now on, you can summon Ammale at any time via the gem (now labeled Ammale's Heart) in Aerie's inventory, talk to it, let it fight for you, or tell it to return to its gem – similar to how familiars work for a mage protagonist.Ammale cannot permanently die – if it falls in battle, it restores itself inside its gem and can be summoned again 24+ hours later.

== QUEST: Wing Taker ==
* Complete the first portion of the base-game quest Free Hendak and the slaves, i.e. at leastFeel free to also complete the remainder of the quest, which is the Slaver Stockade portion, if you want. up to the point where Hendak thanks you after Lehtinan's deathAfter Hendak kills Lehtinan and takes control of the Copper Coronet..(It does not matter whether Aerie is in the party for this.)
* 24+ hours later, travel between districtsTechnically, traveling away from the Gate District or any mod-added district does not count. of Athkatla with Aerie in the partyTechnically, Aerie only has to be in the party in order for the game to decide that the alley encounter will happen on the next worldmap travel, and not necessarily during the encounter itself., to trigger an alley encounterOn the same alley map as the base-game random encounters in the city. where you witness some slavers murdering a guard in revenge for Lehtinan's death.Their leader Laravyl then initiates conversation. She recognizes AerieOnly if Aerie is still present and not incapacitated. But it does not matter; either way, the game assumes that you learned this information., and brags that she was the archer who shot Aerie down from the sky and sold her into slavery.No matter what you say, Laravyl escapes and her underlings attack you.
* 24+ hours laterExact conditions:
# It's been at least 24 hours since the Laravyl encounter.
# You are outdoors in one of the 8 base-game Athkatla district maps.
# Aerie is in the party, present, and not incapacitated., when you are outdoors in Athkatla with Aerie in the party, the anti-slavery agent Trent approaches and initiates conversation.If you haven't yet completed the Slaver Stockade portion of the base-game quest Free Hendak and the slaves, Trent asks you to do that now and then meet him again at the Crooked Crane Inn upper floor to hear his plan (so do that). Otherwise, he tells you his plan immediately.
* Trent's plan is to take down Lord Praxis, the mastermind behind the Athkatla slave trade. Agree to help, and he hands you a letter and tells you to stop the slavers from procuring a magic rod from a merchant.
** OPTIONAL: If you demand up-front payment before agreeing to help him, Trent gives you 1000 .
Travel to Waukeen's Promenade, and talk to Merchant Arben on the bottom-left terraces about the magic rod. There are two ways to handle this:
* CHOICE: Reassure him.
** Insist that you are not working for the slavers, and Arben gives you a task to prove it: He wants you to take a portal lense from the slavers.
** Travel to the Bridge district, enter the Five Flagons Inn, and find the Slaver Lieutenant at the very back of the upper floor. Either pickpocket the Portal LensItem code X3WLENS. off him, or kill him and loot it from his body. (Talking to him just makes him call for backupCausing 6 extra hostile slavers to appear..)
** Bring the lens to Arben in Waukeen's Promenade. He is satisfied, and promises to give you the magic rod if you meet him in the Slums quickly. (⚠️ Start of 1-hour time limit!)
* CHOICE: Deceive and threaten him.
** If you are speaking to Arben withShe has to actually be the speaking party member. a female protagonist, you can convince him that you are Laravyl. He is scared, and promises to give you the rod if you meet him in the Slums quickly. (⚠️ Start of 1-hour time limit!)
* Travel to the Slums district, and find Merchant Arben in the center-left part of the map . This plays out differently based on your earlier actions, and how long you took to get here:
** If you made it in time, and reassured Arben earlier:In this case, you find Arben alive. He tells you that the slavers are hunting him. Laravyl appears, assassinates Arben, and taunts you. She leaves with the rod and lens, and her six underlings attack you.
** If you made it in time, but deceived Arben earlier:In this case, you find Arben alive. No matter what you say to him now, he attacks you together with two guards and you lose 2 points of reputation. Once he is dead, you can loot the Rod of SilverItem code X3WROD. off his body.
** If you took more than 1 in-game hour to get hereIn-game time between Arben telling you to meet him in the Slums, and your party arriving in the Slums.:In this case you find Arben dead, with no rod, but with a note from Laravyl on his body in which she taunts you. (But the quest continues.)
* Travel to the Gates district, and report back to Trent on the upper floor of the Crooked Crane Inn.Regardless of whether or not you retrieved the rod, Trent tasks you with finding the gem that activates the rod – before it falls into the hands of the slavers. (⚠️ Start of 1-hour time limit!)
* Travel to the Graveyard district, and enter the first crypt on the left of the southern district entrance . Check the sarcophagus inside this small room. What you find depends on how fast you got here:
** If you made it in time:In this case, the sarcopagus contains the real Catalyst GemItem code X3WGEM.. Pick it up.(If you also have the magic rod from Arben, it automatically fuses with the gem, turning into the Rod of Paralysis"Rod of Paralysis" (casts Power Word, Stun); item code X3WGEM..)When you step back out of the crypt, you are attacked by six slavers.
** If you took more than 1 in-game hour to get hereIn-game time between Trent telling you to find the gem, and your party entering this crypt.:In this case, the sarcopagus contains a fake gem"Activation Gem", item code X3WFGEM. – when you pick it up, it crumbles, and out falls a note from Laravyl in which she taunts you. (But the quest continues.)
* Travel to the Gates district, and enter the upper floor of the Crooked Crane Inn again. Trent is no longer here; instead, you are attacked by nine slavers. Loot the body of the Slaver Lieutenant for a note"Laravyl's Orders", item code X3WLET2. from Laravyl, which reveals that they abducted Trent and are holding him in their slave compound. (⚠️ Start of 24-hour time limit!)
* Travel to the Slums district, and enter the Slaver Stockade again:
** You witness a cutscene involving Laravyl and Lord Praxis. (If you took more than 24 hours to get here, Trent is executed during this cutscene.)
** Lord Praxis then initiates conversation. If you retrieved the magic rod and/or gem earlier, he tries to trick you into giving it to him. But in the end, no matter what you say, he and all the other slavers here attack you. (If Lord Praxis has the completed rod, he uses it against you during this battle.)
** Once Lord Praxis is dead (or Laravyl herself is severely injuredOnce she is down from her initial 204 HP to below 50 HP, or once Lord Praxis dies – whichever comes first.), Laravyl teleports away, vowing to rebuild the slaver organization in a different city. You cannot stop her, but you can meet her again later in the game (see ↓ Wing Avenger).
** Pick up the Rod of Paralysis from Lord Praxis' body, if he had it.
** If Trent wasn't executed, you can find him in a large prison cell in the back of this level , guarded by two more slavers. Talk to him to free him.
** If you already met ↑ Raptair before coming here, you can find him in the other prison cell . (See that walkthrough section for details.)
** The final quest reward is one of these four:
*** , if you free Trent and give him the Rod of Paralysis.In this case, the experience reward and journal entry is given when you talk to Trent after the battle.
*** , if you free Trent but tell him you want to keep the Rod of Paralysis.
*** , if you free Trent without having the Rod of Paralysis in your inventory.
*** , if Trent was executed.In this case, the experience reward and journal entry is given immediately once Lord Praxis is dead and Laravyl escaped.
== QUEST: Love for Boo ==
* Travel with both Aerie and Minsc in the party. EventuallyIt's the second banter between Minsc and Aerie. (The first one is the one in which Minsc agrees to let Aerie be his new witch.), the two have a banter about miniature space hamsters like Boo. At the end, Minsc asks you to check with local merchants whether another such hamster exists. Agree.
** ALTERNATIVE: Or refuse, which ends the quest immediately.
Ask four different merchants whether they've seen such a hamster.The following merchants can be asked; it does not matter which of them you choose, or in what order:

* 24+ hours later, Argin Olly reappears outdoors in Umar Hills near the ranger cabin ; Talk to him there again with Minsc in the party. No matter what you say, he ends up revealing that he has no female hamster and is only trying to steal Boo. Then he attacks together with several bodyguards; defeat them.

* Follow along the plot of the Throne of Bhaal portion of the game, until you leave Saradush and reach the River Area.

** A cutscene ensues in which the slaver boss Laravyl appears and assassinates Raptair before he can tell Aerie more about her parents. After some more taunts, Laravyl attack you together with multiple underlings. Defeat her.
