Icewind Dale II Hints
Destroy the Elder Brain.
1 of 5: This becomes your main quest once you destroy the drider generator and enter the Z'hinda Citadel.
2 of 5: The Elder Brain resides in a case in the center of the circular maze inside the citadel, but don't approach it right away.
3 of 5: When you attack it, all surviving thralls in the entire citadel will come to its aid. It's a very good idea to go around and kill all the thralls, mind flayers, mind golems, etc. that you can find in the maze before going to its center.
4 of 5: If you've done this, then save your game and rush in and attack the brain case frantically.
5 of 5: You should be able to smash it and kill the Elder Brain fairly quickly and then concentrate on the local thralls.
