Icewind Dale Hints
What places should I explore here?
1 of 8: The main place you're looking for is on the far eastern side of the Vale.
2 of 8: If you listened to the people in town, it's the tomb of Kresslack. However, you can't open it without some keys.
3 of 8: These keys can be found in four other tombs around the Vale.
4 of 8: The tombs are pretty straightforward. Be sure that you have a Thief looking for traps in them at all times. Some of them can be pretty nasty.
5 of 8: Also, be careful when you battle the more powerful undead. Ghasts can paralyze your party and kill off one of two characters before you manage to kill it, which is extremely annoying.
6 of 8: Note that only two of these crypts have keys in them, but you should explore all of them to find some nice magical items.
7 of 8: Once you have the Gate Key and the Sanctum Key, head to Kresslack's crypt.
8 of 8: You'll know you're in the right place if you run into some Shadows that are a bit stronger than most that you've been fighting.
