Icewind Dale II Hints
How can I stop Izbelah from casting the temporal stasis spell?
1 of 7: This, unfortunately, is a timed event, and you have very little time.
2 of 7: You need to get to Archon's boat ASAP, which means going west from where you start and taking damage from the rockfall just west of the boat.
3 of 7: The best way to do this is to have your fastest character wear Boots of Speed and start him running west immediately upon entering Day 1. You should make some progress before getting the cut scene where Izbelah moves into position.
4 of 7: Keep running your character west and then south, hopefully making it past the rockfall. If he doesn't make it, restore your save from the end of Day 2 and try again.
5 of 7: Have your character talk to Archon and book passage to the embassy as quickly as you can.
6 of 7: If you get there fast enough, Izbelah may not have had time to clog the pathway to her with summoned monsters. If that's true, then immediately have everyone rush to melee attack her (even before she talks to you, if possible).
7 of 7: If there are monsters in the way and you can't get past them, have as many people as possible use ranged attacks against Izbelah (I hear the spell Finger of Death does very well in this situation).
