Free the captive villagers (level 5) is an optional quest that was added in the Enhanced Edition.
Quick walkthrough[]
- Kill the High Baptist in level 5 of Dragon's Eye.
- Talk to one of the captive villagers there.
Walkthrough[]
When chapter 2 takes you to Dragon's Eye, level 5, be sure to go down the fifth corridor off the main hallway, which leads to some pools of water.
There, the High Baptist attacks you together with his histachii minions.
The captive human villagers also get hostile (their selection circles turn red) when the High Baptist sees one of the party members, because he mind-controls them — but don't harm them (it's better to have the AI turned off and no summons near them), they don't have any weapons and shouldn't pose a threat to you.
Once the High Baptist is dead, the captive villagers regain control over their minds again, and their selection circles turn blue. Talk to one of them, to get your thanks and experience reward:
- 10,350 exp, if all 8 villagers survived.
- Only 5,175 exp, if at least one of the villagers got killed.
If all the villagers got killed, you get nothing.
Trivia[]
- This quest originated from the mod Unfinished Business for IWD (component "The High Baptist's Flock"), but was incorporated into the official game by the Enhanced Edition.
