With whom did you try to use it? Your fighter can't use scrolls. Imoen is the only one who can use mage scrolls from the party you described.

Have your thieves search for traps, it will increase the chance to find secret doors.


You can see how the identify spell works here:

In vain.
Am I in the wrong place?

Nalia is searching for the secret passage

Actually not. IF you go for a natural strenght (aka. high without item), then take 18 ONLY! Then when you get a +1 STR bonus you'll skip all 18/XX stats, and imediatelly jump to 19!

Yes, a 150 pages manual is at least a hint that you should look up some infos, but I always voted on walkthroughs:ph34r:

You are at wrong place indeed. You went into a simple house, instead of the Tieves Guild:hello:

You're confusing BG2 with Planescape:Torment where you have stat points to distribute and raising from 18 to 18/.. costs extra points.
In BG2 you don't have a point buy system, you just roll your stats. You get the second number for free, 18/.. is always better than 18 and 18/00 is the best you can roll.

Pfew
 

Hmmm..
I found this Aran Linvail at last.

But..but some writers of walk through must be hang at ship roam, as we did when the brave was pirate around Cape of Good Hope.

new misunderstand:
..find Mook at south end of the docks.????

No any Mook or yoga is idiot at all.???

Still I dunno my main task! Only sub quests..

Rats! I lost 2 days for some stupid Mook..

angry yoga:(

I will take my AK 47 and start massacre..

:((((

That's not "Mook", but "nook". It means "hole". A certain semi-hidden spot what contains (minor) treasure. You'll find those at the location given in the walkthrough (x,y coordinates are given).


Btw, your task is: take revenge on the one took you captive. Another goal is to rescue Imoen. For these you have to find allies (your captor is strong, remember), destination to travel, means to reach that destination. Some info and equipment wouldn't be bad either. You might even found your own Guild in the city of Amn!
Along those you also might evolve your True Power, as your captive intended.

Yep, BG2 has a little bit ore story then the usual "open door, kill dragon, take treasure" line.

You can find Mook only at night, the shadow thieves don't work at daylight.

About your quest:

Imoen has been captured and imprisoned by the authorities for using magic illegally and you're trying to free her from prison.
For getting to the location where Imoen is imprisoned somewhere across the sea you need help.
After earning money with quests you paid the shadow thieves (an evil guild of blackmailers and assassins, you also had the opportunity to ask the mysterious woman from the graveyard instead) a lot of gold for the help they offered, but instead of taking you there immediately they force you to do some unrelated quests for them first.
You have to do those quests in order to proceed with the story and get where Imoen is.

As kmonster said, Mook appears only at night. When you go to the most south of the docks area, there's stairs down to a small boot platform, just below the big orange house at the left (and a nice fellow who sells and buys stolen goods at nights). There you'll find her. Be sure you've got a good protection from level drain before you go there, you'll need it very soon.

Why brave yoga uses a walktrough ? :omg:
