Icewind Dale II Hints

How can I help Xhaan, the white abishai leader?

  • 1 of 7: Go talk to him in the white abishai room near the NW corner of level 1.
  • 2 of 7: Talk to Xhaan about the voices, and specifically agree to help him.
  • 3 of 7: The next step is to find and talk to the genie Ondabo.
  • 4 of 7: He's in the third room that's north of High Priestess Cathin's central chapel area (also on level 1).
  • 5 of 7: He'll tell you the true name of the spirit that commands Xhaan, and he'll say that you'll need to banish him from the object he resides in.
  • 6 of 7: Well, the object he resides in is Auril's altar, which is on level 2 of the temple.
  • 7 of 7: Once the spirit is banished, report back to Xhaan for your XP reward.
