Icewind Dale Hints
How can I get into this watchtower without a fight?
1 of 6: You're going to have to answer the questions of the guard correctly.
2 of 6: Having talked to Norl, the gnome in the house guarded by a whole bunch of Salamanders and Tarnished Sentries helps, but it isn't strictly necessary.
3 of 6: The answers to his questions, in order, are:
4 of 6: Purple, Marketh, and Ilmater.
5 of 6: If you get a question wrong, you'll have to fight a bunch of thieves.
6 of 6: Once you get into the watchtower, kill the archers, and be nice to the gnomes, and you'll get a place that you can rest in without danger.
