Missing deadshot?

Rhombo

Hey all, I'm playing through BGEE as an Archer, and I'm nearing the end of cloakwood.

This is my second run though to this point, as I made a few mistakes creating my first character.
Buuuuut, my first character did pick up The Deadshot. Which i loved, and which would be even more powerfull in the hands of my Archer.
But I don't have it this time round, so i looked up its location on the net and went back to the Bandit Camp to find it and, no dice.

Maybe I'ts just not available if you don't pick it up the first time there.

What i was wondering is, is this a glitch? or is there another way to get it? or was it in some hidden place i just didnt look?

Cheers.

It's carried by Hakt. If you killed him, then ran off and did all the cloakwood stuff and came back, it probably poofed.

Another deadshot can be be found :
there is this dungeon in a halfling town, forgot the name (something Wine), it has bunch of Kobolds that keep respawning.
but anyway, there are several ghost knights (non-hostile). one of the knights is an archer, you can pickpocket him to get a deadshot.

Thanks guys, good to know there is another:)

Your probably right Zutti, I did kill Hakt the first visit.
Guess I wont be rushing though an enemy encampment again any time soon; Slow and steady:)

It seems that this item is not lootable anymore.

I might be wrong but I was not able to use pickpocket on any of these knights.

See if you can still kill them with poison with the dagger of venom. Maybe the ghost knights will drop it.

Any word on whether the Deadshot +2 on the ghost knights is actually still there or not?

Why not just buy the Composite +1 in Beregost?
It's 1 less THACO but 1 more Damage.

An archer will definitely benefit more from extra damage since their thac0 will be low enough anyway (especially an elven archer with a high dex).

I confirm that in the current version I've pickpocketed the knight that is standing on the right and got this bow. None of the other knights has any items, so maybe @Aasimar069 just didn't touch that particular knight. Also, it's worth mentioning that knights don't become hostile if you fail to pickpocket any of them no matter how many times you try. So even without a good level of pickpocketing skills a thief or a bard is able to get the Deadshot +2.

I guess (IIRC) this was fixed in a TOSC patch a long time ago.

I might be wrong though.

Long composite bow +1 and Deadshot +2 are enough with eagle's bow to complete the game :-)

Ok thanks, were are speaking of the 4 ghostly knights in the south western part of the dungeon
so. I'll try again in my playthrough to test this one more time.
