Icewind Dale II Hints
How can I get safely past the swinging axes that are on one doorway?
1 of 4: You can select one character at a time and send him through with careful timing.
2 of 4: You probably don't want to divide your forces when battling the locals, so get their attention and fall back toward the bridge to the west to get them to come to you.
3 of 4: There's a switch that turns off the axes along the west wall of the large barracks area that's north past the axe door.
4 of 4: You could try sending in a stealthy rogue to flip the switch and allow the rest of the party safe and quick passage. (But note that your rogue will become visible when he hits the switch unless he's had Improved Invisibility cast on him.)
