Act 2 Ending Help

[Jivebot]

I wanted to do Shadowheat's Nightsong quest and save Ketheric and Moonrise for last.

And now just as i'm about to end the last leg of the quest I get a warning that "some things may change' i proceed

So do I HAVE to go do Ketheric/Moonrise now? Or can it wait til after I finish Shadowheart's quest?

Before entering the Shadowfel to kill/save Nightsong do everything you need to do both in ACT 1 and ACT 2. It is hard lock for those quests/locations/NPC/vendors. Explore and loot everything. Especially the Gith creche/Underdark/goblin camp/Moonrise Towers.
It is advisable to not make Moonrise Towers hostile before going to the Shadowfell. While sneak killing future enemies without agro everyone else to make the final marathon battle easy.

Going through with the last part of the quest will result in other quests failing if you haven't completed them yet, including all of the secondary quests in Moonrise Tower, such as rescuing the tieflings.

Do everything possible.

Everything that you can physically and mentally endure.

There's no turning back once you advance.

People were negatively affected in my game for progressing too soon.

While with other stories you may get a second chance.

if you want to rescue the tieflings and sazza you need to hit up moonrise first, but don't finish it, go back get nightsong then go finish it, its stupid if you want to do some side things you gotta backtrack.

Whenever you get a pop-up like this, all other sidequests in that area - except for your main quest - will end. This is because of the major effects that main quest will have on that area. It's the same when you wish to return from Act 2 to Act 1. Your character will say there is no time to linger, urgent matters need your tending to.

You can return to Act 1 from Act 2 before entering the shadowfel region.
The save the tiefling quest/assault the grove is failed when you reach the mountain pass / Act 2 area . But otherwise you don't have many side quest failures.

act 2 order from my experience
1- save Inn
2- go to moonrise pt1 - save people (if you want and go talk to them at inn) get ordered to to to the mausoleum
3- do all other side quests before entering the mausoleum first (world state changes if you complete the shar temple
4- enter mausoleum and do or dont do Raf's quest, clear shar temple
5 - back to moonrise pt2 - follow this to the end of act 2.

if you enter the mausoleum and clear the shar temple before visiting moonrise you can no longer save anyone at moonrise or finish any of the quests at the Inn.

This is so annoying. Every reasonable thought process would make you think that MOONRISE is the quest that would End Act 2. That's why I steered away from it. I only even found this place by exploring and once I realized it was part of Shadoweart's quest I was like "Ohh neat I can wrap up her side quest before getting back to the main quest".

Nothing leading to this moment indicated this was the culimnation of Act 2.

Ah well. Thanks for the headsup everyone. Feels really anti climactic to have to walk away at this point, but next stop: Moonrise.

Omg thankyou so much for this info. I thought balbafart was a bit tough as Im a bit underleveled. I thought moonrise was the end goal for that chapter too. Ive done everything in the shar temple apart from proceeding past that text you get right before entering that stairs portal thing. Can I still save everyone at moonrise though?

This was an old thread, but to answer your question, yes. At least you should be able to.

Moonrise is part of the ending to the chapter, but until then the area acts like the Goblin Camp in Act 1. WIth the right dialogue you can get in and talk to everyone and complete quests without anyone turning hostile. There are a few vendors, NPCs related to your companions, and quests. There is only one door that is strictly off-limits, and only one area that's marked red (but you can still safely sneak in there if you know how). You can save everyone in the prison basement floor (which usually triggers combat) and kill those guys without making the rest of the Tower hostile. I think you can also kill the guys on the docks safely if you want, or save them for later. Or skip them entirely.

There will still be a few Moonrise-related quests (to save people) that you can't complete yet, as they're part of the final goal where you return to (a hostile) Moonrise Tower after Gauntlet of Shar.
