I'm playing a megamod version of BGII and during SOS my gear was stripped at one point and the box is gone, I need the code for the activated Hephestus box. Also I can't find who to talk to/where to go in Mirabur to find the Mysterious Cave, any help? I'm playing a MegaMod "The Big Picture" with a very large assortment of mods, I haven't gone to IWD yet.

I cannot retreive this information myself with shadowkeeper because I have a specially compressed megamod install that runs on a cache system so it can fit on a 10GB USB stick, shadowkeeper cannot index the resources of this install.

Thanks in advance for any help.

nothing?

I looked with shadowkeeper and could not find anything with Hephestus box in the title.

I have a SoS, TDD, NEJ, TS, CtB, RoT ( etc etc... everything ) BiG World install and cannot find any item that matches your description.
the only "box" items I could find with Near Infinity are

EDWINKEY - Mae'Var's Stromgbox Key ( OBVIOUSLY not this )
M#PDUST - Box of Pixi Dust ( Invisible 10'' radius )
MISC03 - Small Box ( crashes my game )
PLOT01L - Tinderbox ( Watcher's Keep plotitem )
SD_B - Shed's Private Lockbox ( this could be what you mean.. but then.. no idea )
X#SABOX - Safana's Box ( No idea )

A search for creatures with Box resulted in 0 Results
A search for spells with box resulted in 0 Results
A search for Stores with box resulted in 0 Results

So, either you got the name wrong or.. no idea.
Did you try to look at the savegame ( if neccessary, copy it to a normal folder ) with NearInfinity? If it's a bagofholding-type of box, it is one of the .sto files. decompress the .SAV and look through.

Hey there, I searched all the .tra files and the .tp2 for SoS but didn't find any references to a "Hephestus (Hephaestus??) Box" or even a box for instance

Are you sure the item's from SoS (Shadows of Soubar )?? Or are you sure that the item's called Hephestus' "Box"??

Cheers,

EDIT: Checked Reign of Terror's .tra's and .tp2 as well (after seeing the forum's name ). Only references to a box are the "Dialog Box" and other fourth-wall-breaking stuff

nono, it's from RoT, you get the item early in the quest and later travel to Brynlaw where you are teleported to Cadderly's temple and he takes you to the dragon's lair where you have to hurt it to a certain point and the creature is contained in the box. I honestly don't remember if the word "box" was in the item's description but I know it's just an innate quest item with no SLA's or anything of the sort.

Thanks for the help fellas, I appreciate it, I'll try to get more information (or just restart the game like a good little moron).

i looked through most of the RoT items but there is nothing remotely like the item you describe. can't you just load an older save and give us the exact name of the item you're looking for?

[Lollorian]

I think I found it Is it perchance, Fangor's Holder??

@1105 = ~Fangor's Holder~
@1106 = ~This item can be used for capturing a dragon. The capturing must take place just before the death of the dragon. Before using this one must make sure no-one has died just recently in the area because the spirits of the dead can disable the effects of the Holder. The trapped dragon can be released whenever wanted and the Holder will be destroyed in the process. The dragon will vanish soon too.~
@1107 = ~You have trapped a dragon inside of this item. When the dragon is released, this object will vanish.~

Now, looking at the .tp2, you'll have to CLUAConsole:CreateItem("DRAGCAP2") for the "activated box" (with the dragon in it). The empty box would be DRAGCAP

Lol, I still don't believe this is the one but, seems to have dragons in it

Cheers,
Lol

EDIT: For the Mysterious Cave thing, check out the SoS walkthrough (it's almost at the end of the page )
