Icewind Dale II Hints

How can I lower the drawbridge that's just south of the snake room?

  • 1 of 6: You need to find a hidden drawbridge switch.
  • 2 of 6: Such a switch is on the west side of level 3. See the following link to find out how to get to the west side.
  • 3 of 6: Once there, find the room with the Sseth's Eye gimmick in it.
  • 4 of 6: You need to get past that eye and into the room beyond it.
  • 5 of 6: Once you're in the room, use the ALT key to find a hidden switch on one of the back shelves.
  • 6 of 6: Ignore the other histachii in the room and go hit that switch to lower the drawbridge.
