Icewind Dale Hints
Wow, I got into a room packed with skeletons of all sorts. Help me out!
1 of 5: This is a rather annoying battle.
2 of 5: You'll have to deal with a skeleton mage, who is massively annoying, since he can just put your party to sleep or send them running in all directions. You'll also have to fight some imbued wights, which are annoying too, because they can cast a free Magic Missile at you before they charge.
3 of 5: The best thing to do for this fight is to let a few of the lesser skeletons see you, and then run back into the empty chamber, and let them follow you.
4 of 5: Take them out a few at a time until you can attack the mage. You'll get magic missiled by wights, but you should be able to take it.
5 of 5: Once the mage is dead, it shouldn't be too hard anymore.
