Cheat List

To make the cheats work, you'll first have to edit a game file with a text editor. Make sure you back this file up before proceeding.

In the game's folder, find the file named "nwn.ini." In the Game Options section of this file, add this phrase:

Debug Mode=1

If you are going to be affecting the character at all, open the "nwnplayer.ini" file and add these lines:

Single Player Enforce Legal Characters=0
Single Player ItemLevelRestrictions=0

This will allow you to play past the module you're on.

Once these things are changed, save the file and start the game. During gameplay, press the ~ key, then type DebugMode=1 in the console that appears. This will enable cheat mode. Now, you can cycle through the codes with the ~ key. Enter cheats from the list below. If you get the message "Enter Target Mode" appears, click on the character you'd like it to affect in order to enable the code. A "Success" message will tell you you've entered the code correctly.

Hint - Snow Globe Quest Made Easy

When playing Chapter 3, Snowglobe quest found out the following help:

Before you enter the globe you have the option of turning/rotating the globe. Doing this will affect the world inside: if you need to talk to the Dryads or Dwarves and they are hostile to you, simply exit the Globe and rotate it, then re-enter it and they will talk to you instead of attacking you.

After you get the Amulet of Ages you will need help from both the Dryads and Dwarves to fix it. If Hodd (Dwarven leader) is hostile exit the globe, rotate it, re-enter it and he should talk to you. Then to talk to Arwyl, you will need to exit, rotate and re-enter the globe to do so. Get her to enchant the Amulet, and you can then use it against the white dragon inside the cave. With the amulet his AC drops and it is way easier to kill him, you still need strenth and health, but it is doable.
