Icewind Dale II Hints
What should I ask Nickademus for?
1 of 8: Talk to him after finding him in his bedroom (adjacent to the prism room) and waking him up.
2 of 8: NOTE: If you have trouble unlocking his bedroom door, you can shoot it with the prism laser by facing it SW and firing it.
3 of 8: Agree to do Nickademus an unspecified future favor, and he'll let you choose your reward.
4 of 8: You can ask for help in defeating the demon inhabiting Auril's altar (if you've heard about it and haven't already defeated it) to get a powerful protection from elements spell put on you.
5 of 8: You can ask Nicky to share his wisdom in order to get a huge XP bonus.
6 of 8: Or you can ask for some magical items from him.
7 of 8: He gets the magic items off of the shelf next to his bed, so you could loot it before waking him and then ask for something else in order to get both it and the magic items (I recommend you go for the XP).
