Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Bellegar/ Mt with dead guys

Hi..tried to enter Maxos ? place too early and Bellegar appeared and warped me to some ledge, with a bunch of dead guys, a few boxes, and a cheap chest.

There's also a big "storage" door, in the side of the mountain, which I can't open. I think it says it's Nettlemans, or something like that. Who is this person and where is he. I looked all over so I could get the password, no luck.

Is this something I get access to after I'm able to fly...cause you can't get there any other way, unless Bellegar sends you. I've finished Bellegar, the scrolls for Zix Zax?.. put the crystals in the pillars by him, pretty much everything and am now heading to Maxos? spelling again.

At what point will I no longer be able to return to Broken Valley...thanks

Dr Needleman is in a room upstairs in the Black Boar inn. You can not get the password for his storage area until after you get the battle tower (until then he wears a contraption on his head to block mindreading).

After finishing Maxos temple you get access to sentinel island. There is some stuff to do there before entering the battle tower itself, and until you get most of the way through the tower you can travel back and forth to Broken Valley. There is a warning just before the point of no return.
You will be able to enter the quarry tower in Broken Valley after getting the battle tower (as well as complete a quest on sentinel island that requires flight), but any other open quests in those two areas will fail, and you can not return to most areas.

Your first encounter on sentinel island you can mindread to go up a level, so the higher level you are (I made it to level 18 in the fjords) the more of an experience bonus that will be. You don't need to get to a high level, but it would be better if you got to a new level before entering, to get a full level bonus.
