Icewind Dale Hints
I met an ogre with a nasty headache. What should I do with him?
1 of 4: Well, there's a few things you can do.
2 of 4: For one, you can always just insult him and start a fight. He's not very tough, just one ogre, but you don't get much XP.
3 of 4: If you opt to help him, you can either have any type of Druid character talk to him, and they will discover a cure, or you can wait until you talk to Arundel in Kuldahar. Ask him about the ogre's plight, and he'll give you a recipe for the cure to bring back to the ogre.
4 of 4: Either way, if you help him, you get more XP, so it's probably a good idea.
