Icewind Dale II Hints
Repel the three-pronged goblin attack.
1 of 10: The first of the three goblin attacks begins as soon as you report to Shawford Crale after dealing with the Iron Collar Band.
2 of 10: After you talk to Crale, a brief non-interactive sequence will begin in which the goblin attack is reported to Crale, and he heads out the door.
3 of 10: When you get control back, quicksave your game (Q key) and head out to do battle with goblins just NW of Crale's house.
4 of 10: Soon after that, you'll get a non-interactive scene that shows you that the second part of the goblin attack is up in the NE corner.
5 of 10: Stop off in Crale's building and heal up with Nolan the Healer if you need to, then head off to the next battle.
6 of 10: One way to deal with the second goblin wave is to send someone up there with some flaming oil bottles and throw those at them to thin their ranks as they march by. A rogue who's adept at hiding in shadows would be a good choice for this mission.
7 of 10: The third attack happens right next to the sealed NW gate that leads to the outside.
8 of 10: Once you finish off all of those goblins and their leader, you should get XP and a journal entry stating that you've driven the goblins from Targos. If not, hunt around for strays.
9 of 10: CHEAT NOTE: One fun way to make these battles quick and easy (if you don't mind cheating) is to use the Cheat Codes and Item Codes information to give yourself a Summon Monster IX scroll or two. Use them to summon creatures that will easily tear through the goblin hordes.
10 of 10: Report success in repelling the attack to Shawford Crale for money, and then to Lord Ulbrec for XP and your Chapter 1 orders.
