Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
The Illithid Lair
1 of 9: To get here, you MUST have done the paladin stronghold quest.
2 of 9: You'll find the needed key on your old buddy Tazok in the dungeon.
3 of 9: Once you have the key, enter the Temple District sewers, and search for a secret door on the northern wall.
4 of 9: If you have the sewer key, it will open.
5 of 9: Go through, and then go up the stairs.
6 of 9: Now, I strongly suggest having either a greenstone amulet, or someone who can cast Chaotic Commands, because you're gonna be fighting A LOT of illithids in here.
7 of 9: In the first room, there are a bunch of slaves along with one illithid.
8 of 9: Now just go through the rooms, killing all the illithids and ulitharids here.
9 of 9: In the last room, there is a container with a bunch of little treasures and the Hammer of Thunderbolts +3, part of the Crom Fraer, and an awesome weapon by itself.
