Icewind Dale II Hints

Help out Olap Tamewater.

  • 1 of 12: After you clear the Docks of goblins and report the deed to Lord Ulbrec, he tells you to report to Shawford Crale. Go talk to Crale in his house in the Palisade area to get this quest.
  • 2 of 12: Olap Tamewater is standing around near a breach in the Palisade along its northern wall.
  • 3 of 12: He'll complain that he isn't getting the wood that he should from Lumbar Grundwall in the Targos area.
  • 4 of 12: If you haven't already, go talk to Lumbar to find out what the problem is. He and his crane are about halfway along the southern border of the Targos area.
  • 5 of 12: Lumbar's crane is broken, so tell Olap that.
  • 6 of 12: He'll say that his father, Jorun Tamewater in the Docks area, can help fix the crane.
  • 7 of 12: He recommends you have Swift Thomas escort you around quickly. Go talk to Thomas, who's just outside Crale's building, and tell him you want to go to the Docks.
  • 8 of 12: Talk to Jorun Tamewater, and he'll give you a wooden crane wheel that you can fix the crane with yourself.
  • 9 of 12: Return to Swift Thomas and have him whisk you away to town, then go to Lumbar and his crane.
  • 10 of 12: There's a small part of the crane along its left side that you can click on to bring up an inventory exchange screen.
  • 11 of 12: Once it's up, transfer the wooden crane wheel to the crane part's "inventory" to fix the thing.
  • 12 of 12: Report back to Olap, then return to Shawford Crale for your next assignment.
