Icewind Dale II Hints

How do I get to level 4 (the magma chamber)?

  • 1 of 12: The door is on level 3, just south of the stairs up to level 2.
  • 2 of 12: But it's closed and locked.
  • 3 of 12: There are two clues in the description you get when you click on the door.
  • 4 of 12: It's held closed by four hydraulic gizmos, and there's the faint odor of wyvern poison about it.
  • 5 of 12: "Hydraulic" means "operated by water or other liquid under pressure," so look for four water-oriented things.
  • 6 of 12: You won't be able to find all of them at first, but there are four little fountains on level 3, one in each corner of the level.
  • 7 of 12: If you click on a fountain, you'll get an inventory transfer screen and a description that mentions wyvern's poison again.
  • 8 of 12: What you need to do is use the alchemy lab on level 2 to create four bottles of wyvern poison.
  • 9 of 12: Then transfer one bottle from your inventory into each of the four fountains.
  • 10 of 12: To get to the NW and SW corner fountains, you'll need to figure out how to go west from the big central snake room.
  • 11 of 12: To get to the SE fountain, you'll have to figure out how to get into the SE corner room.
  • 12 of 12: Once all four fountains are channeling wyvern poison through the door's hydraulic systems, it'll open, allowing you access to the magma chamber.
