Icewind Dale II Hints

Where can I get mining tools to clear the cave-in in the NE corner cave?

  • 1 of 5: Go ask the duergar.
  • 2 of 5: They're behind the locked door that's a short distance north of the area you entered the lair by.
  • 3 of 5: You can either talk nice to the duergar and get permission to take the mining tools, or you can trash the place and loot it.
  • 4 of 5: Either way, you'll find the tools in a crate in the storage room that's a short distance beyond the duergar entry room.
  • 5 of 5: Go click on the rubble pile now to clear it away and reveal the exit to the final portion of the caves.
