Eilistraee's Song is a project, which expands the plot of Eilistraee - the deity of drows that rebelled against Lolth the Spider Queen. Eilistraee is actually mentioned in original BG2:SoA by Solaufein after we decide to let him go, but still players were never allowed to get know the full tale. This mods adds content for players who decided to spare Solaufein's life and let him escape. That means that your decision in Underdark actually has a consequence in the later game. I think it's a pity in original BG2 your decisions in Ust Natha don't really matter in the later chapters. When Solaufein returns to you later, after escaping Ust Natha, he tells you how grateful he is. Eye for an eye, and friendly arm for a friendly arm - he tells you about a new place, where you can ask for help with getting your soul back. Mod includes 6 new areas, 21 new items (2 of those are available through Cromwell) and obviously some new quests - it's up to you if you wish to complete them or focus on real quests and get your soul back. On the areas you may hear new music themes. Also, there is a new kit available by completing one of minor quests, although there are some requirements (female, cleric - baseclass, multi- or dualclassed, non-evil character, elf or half-elf). Yes, it's a bit harsh, but that's what the D&D book says.
Installation:
-This mod is a WeiDU mod, so you can install it as any other WeiDU mod. Unzip the archive to your Baldur's Gate 2 directory and run Setup-Eilistraee.exe -Note that this mod requires BG2:ToB installed! -Mod is compatible with Solaufein NPC -If you're using BG2EE START A NEW GAME to find the clearing on the map.
- EET compatibility (worldmap icon position adjustment) - Cross-platform support: use HANDLE_AUDIO for ogg to wav conversion - Removed usability text from EE item descriptions (EE generates usability text) - Use EE-format TIS v2 and PVRZ area graphics (fix horizontal lines glitch) - Cromwell will no longer take entire stacks of dust and gems when forging - Added Italian translation by ilot
Hah, I would rather make it secret. However, I wonder if getting the kit works fine, as I remember that once there were some problems with it. I would rather make people focus on the quests etc, as kit was always a small addition, while quest should be more interesting. Not big, but still rather ok If bugs will be spotted, the mod will be updated again - when the time is right. Feel free to report stuff.
The mod just got updated. Now it includes a brand new worldmap icon and EE savegame patching! @swit did most of the coding! Check the original post to download the mod.
Yes, BUT all your savegames will be patched and that can't be changed back, as savegames do not get backuped. Also, if you for example have two different BG2EE installations and they share the same directory, then... well, the savegames for both BG2EE games will be updated. Apart from that, yes - it makes it possible to enjoy the mod without starting a new game.
SHS/G3 has been down for a few days now. Any chance of an alternate download link for us poor BWS users? I lucked out, and this is the only mod I'm missing for my install.
Hi, I have all components for new artefacts which could be forged by Cromwell, but in the conversation with him I never get the dialogue option for making it, there is always only one option which is: "Nevermind" I really don't know, where is the problem. Is adamantine dust the same item, that is used for upgrading Mace of distruption from Sir Sarles quest? Because, I have all the components, this adamantine, both parts of Silver sword, Lichs tooth, that gems, and still without possibility to make it.
I've delivered Fall's message to Elhan and am about to go back to Fall...but how do I go to her? Where is she? It seemed like she was in a cave/tent but I can't remember where the entreance was
Solafein Rescue and Ellistree Song are probably not fully compatible. I have both mods installed and have two Solafeins. Both near the Underdark exit. One wants to join my party and the other marks new location on my map and then teleports away good ol Sola Bola style. Maybe my install order was wrong? Not a big deal anyway. Two Solafeins, well, magic.
A Solaufein at the exit of Ust Natha offering to join is from Weimer's Solaufein mod, not Solaufein Rescue. If you let Weimer's Solaufein join at this point, you will not encounter the Solaufein from the Solaufein Rescue mod, and also the rescue quest will not trigger.
Ah ok, so you already played the Rescue quest? Then this is an incompatibility with Solaufein Rescue, indeed. I have a faint recall we dealt with compatibility a while back, and I'd assume that you will not encounter another Solaufein at the Eilistraee's followers' place in case one is in your party, but it seems more work would be needed to make it consistent with each other.

AFAIR the mod that used to do this is outdated.

Requirement for normal version: The better version of the item requires:
