Ajoc's Minimod

A Spellhold Studios mod for Baldur's Gate II

     

Introduction

This is an old mod that adds a medium-sized quest to Shadows of Amn, along with new areas, monsters, and items. The quest starts in Athkatla, where you are asked to escort a rich man who is being hunted by mages.

While Ajoc's Minimod originally required The Darkest Day mega-mod, this version can be installed separately.
