How Early Can I Get Nemnok's Cloak/Does It Break Anything to do it "Out of Sequence"?

[Cyrus_Blackfeather]

Hey guys, 

 

So, Nemnok's Cloak is really good for my Marauder build, but the Nemnok area is super late-game. I was wondering if it would be possible to get the cloak fairly early on, and then just come back and resolve the quest in whichever way I choose later on. That is, would taking the cloak, leaving, and then coming back when I'm higher level flip a hostility flag and make it so I can't trigger the conversation with Nemnok? 

 

Also, how would I go about getting it? I'm assuming just use a high Stealth character, but on another thread discussing this I saw mention of Smoke Cloud as a Rogue - so I guess I'd grab Ydwin or Mirke or something.

People say you can sneak it. I've never done it myself, and there doesn't appear to be a youtube video of it yet.

 

I'm sure if you use spark-crackers, some invisibility skills/potions, and plenty of saves (as you figure out where all the traps are) it's doable relatively early (again, haven't tested it myself).

You can probably exploit boots of leap to get there and steal the stuff.

No risk of that. You can murder and pillage everything outside his actual sanctum and it won't affect his dialogue.

It's not even in the room with nemnok. Seems you never were there, otherwise you would know where it is. I had 7 - 8 stealth and it did nearly nothing, because the fire lizards see you very fast. You need leap or the leap boots from fort deadlight +some sparkcrackers can help and high perception for the traps next to the hidden door. Or just a rogue with smoke cloud, then you can just walk there, save and reload if the enemies don't de-aggro.

Ok i made a video now, with level 15 brawler. But you can do it imm., after you get the boots, so with level 7 - 8. I had only 3 stealth. But you have to figure out the way back yourself. It should not be much difficult with the leap boots and one sparkcracker.

 

I will post it tomorrow.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Wondering if anyone had a video guide for the whole "Steal Nemnok's Cloak early" thing?
