Icewind Dale II Hints

Rescue the captive villagers.

  • 1 of 9: You'll get this quest from Kaitlin Silvertongue, who approaches you when you head east into the village ruins.
  • 2 of 9: In order to get to the captives, you'll need to unlock the big gate that's just NW of the village ruins.
  • 3 of 9: Once the gate is open, proceed through it and kill all the orcs standing guard near it.
  • 4 of 9: Heading west, you'll find the captive villagers milling around inside a large keg circle.
  • 5 of 9: Immediately hit the orc firestarter that's standing nearby with everything you've got. You don't want him to shoot one of the kegs of blasting inside the circle and blow up all the villagers.
  • 6 of 9: Once he and all the other orcs around are dead, bash a couple of the kegs so the villagers can escape their vicious circle.
  • 7 of 9: Then report back to Kaitlin to get some XP.
  • 8 of 9: She'll then task you with killing Torak. You may now do so by mounting a frontal assault on his encampment.
  • 9 of 9: Once Torak and his cronies are dead and looted, report back to Kaitlin for some more XP. (And ask her the way to the ford and the dam for even more.)
