Icewind Dale II Hints
How can I find and cleanse Auril's altar?
1 of 8: The altar is on level 2 of the temple.
2 of 8: It's in a hidden room and is behind a locked door with a lightning symbol.
3 of 8: To learn how to find and open the door, read the following link. The door you want is referred to as the "third door."
4 of 8: Once the door is open, you'll want to send in one character who has a lot of hit points and elemental resistances on him.
5 of 8: In the dialogue options, choose to reveal the spirit's true name if you learned it from Xhaan or Ondabo (see following link). If you don't know the altar spirit's name, you can still exorcise it if you've freed all of the prisoners from the prison in level 1.
6 of 8: Then run out of the room quickly, before the door closes and the spirit turns into a powerful whirlwind. (If you don't make it out in time, do the best you can to dodge the whirlwind.)
7 of 8: When the door reopens, watch out for other monsters to appear outside.
8 of 8: The whirlwind will eventually dissipate, leaving Auril's altar room unsullied by possessive demons.
