Icewind Dale II Hints
Kill the immortal glabrezu guards.
1 of 11: Start this quest by talking to Jerre Stoh in the SW section of level 1 and revealing to him that you're here to finish off Isair and Madae and their dirty "legion."
2 of 11: He'll tell you a bit about the glabrezu guards, including the fact that they're immortal, and that Isair and Madae are constantly protected by two of them.
3 of 11: That means you're going to have to find out how to destroy the immortal glabrezu in order to finish the game.
4 of 11: Exploring around, you should find a strange and well-guarded purple globe in the NE room on level 2.
5 of 11: Ruinlord Garuk Katah, the one in charge of guarding it, won't tell you much about it.
6 of 11: However, Hatemaster Drothan will.
7 of 11: Examine the purple globe, talk to Garuk, and read Garuk's diary (which is on a table in the northern room on level 2) before talking to Drothan.
8 of 11: You'll find Drothan in the infirmary (NE room on level 4). He'll then confirm that the purple globe on the second floor is indeed the reason the three glabrezu guards are immortal, and he will further tell you that a priest of Ilmater who's imprisoned in the war tower can help you destroy the globe.
9 of 11: Go to level 1 of the War Tower (accessible from level 4 of the main fortress) and free Toral Sorn, then talk to him about the ritual he wants you to do.
10 of 11: Once you perform the ritual, you can destroy the Globe of Essence on level 2 of the fortress by attacking it. (Naturally, all of its guards will attack you when you do.)
11 of 11: Once the globe is smashed, go down to level 1 and kill the glabrezu guard there, then tell Jerre Stoh the good news to get credit and XP for freeing the slaves.
