Icewind Dale II Hints
How do I deal with all the guards in the barracks on level 4?
1 of 12: Have you tried entering the barracks (SE room)?
2 of 12: You could insist on fighting them.
3 of 12: Or you can learn of an alternate solution by talking to Riki, who's standing around in the NW part of the level (near the passage to the sealed fifth tower).
4 of 12: She outlines a plan for poisoning the guards' food.
5 of 12: To implement this plan, you must first find the ingredients for the poison.
6 of 12: Then you need to find an alchemy lab that you can use to mix up the potion.
7 of 12: Go to level 2 and have your most diplomatic person ask Dracein if you can use her alchemical table.
8 of 12: Then give the three ingredients you need to your best Alchemy skill person and have him put them on the alchemical table in Dracein's room.
9 of 12: As soon as you drop the third ingredient, they should be replaced by a single potion.
10 of 12: Take the potion and go put it in the container that's next to the guards' food stack in the kitchen on level 4 (NW room).
11 of 12: After they're down, you can go raid their barracks of lots of great stuff, including the Chain of Drakkas (armor which a thief or magic-user can wear without any penalties to ability performance).
12 of 12: Then report back to Riki to finish the quest and be referred to a priest of Ilmater in the War Tower for a purification ritual.
