Icewind Dale II Hints
What can I do with the otyughs and fire beetles in a cage?
1 of 6: You can fight them for fun and XP.
2 of 6: You can bash them when they're next to the cage wall or shoot them with arrows and spells to kill them safely.
3 of 6: Or you can open the cage doors and go in after them.
4 of 6: Or you can open the cage doors and lead them into groups of orcs and other monsters to get them to fight each other. This is a bit dangerous, as a lot of them will still go after you.
5 of 6: NOTE: A safer way to lead the monsters together is to make one character invisible via spell or potion and have him open the cage doors while everyone else stays out of sight around the bend.
6 of 6: There's a container inside the cage that has some good treasure, including a magic bow called Sophias Flight.
