Necromancer Soul Jars from Braccus’ Vault.

[Bella]

Other than as a source of, well, Source, is there any other use (reason to hang on to) the 3 Necromancer Soul Jars from Braccus’ Vault.

[BloodNog]

With no spoilers, yes.

[Bella]

Okay, I'll hang on to them then. Only found a use for one of the 4 so far.

[terry]

Yes , and just a little hint, you will find out the story behind them in very the same chapter.

[NeverOdd]

Go do the maze. The place on top of the cave you entered to braccus vault. Then you'll know the reason.

[Lind]

Without spoilers, yes there is.

With spoilers, would someone else want to know

Act 1 Spoilers ahead:
Three of the soul jars belong to the three necromancers inside Braccus' fortress, after the maze is completed.

Normally, if you fight them (There's a persuasion check), once killed, they will just get back up and fight your party again and again. However, you can crush or absorb the souls inside their jars to permanently kill them.

The fourth soul jar contains Gratiana's soul jar, once obtained you can decide to talk to her about it, and she'll ask you to give it to her, you have the option of doing so or to kill her. Both options will end the quest tied to the jars.

Also, if you speak to Gratiana before entering the vault, but after rescuing Gareth, and insist on her telling you where the other weapons of Braccus Rex may be, after a persuasion check she will tell you about the vault, and the jars inside of it.

[Bella]

Thanks all

[Sorceress]

Hint: dont mention gratiana name to those necromacers

[Bella]

LOL I didn't :)

I would keep the jars for later source point gain. Don't waste it in Act 1 where you can have neverending source easily. In the Maze main castle, sneak past the three Necromancers (it's easy), unlock the big gate and do the stuff there. On the way back from the tomb room and the well, kill the three necromancers twice for xp, then run out before they revive the third time.
