Icewind Dale II Hints
Tips for the Battle
1 of 4: Your first priority is to find and kill de'Naly, since he likes to hide off to the side and summon lots of tough monsters.
2 of 4: When fighting Isair and Madae, it can be useful to use Protection from Magic scrolls on them, since that will ruin any spells they have on them plus prevent them from casting any more spells. However, don't expect any spells of your own to affect them, either.
3 of 4: Weapons have a very hard time hurting the twins, so use the most powerful you have (+ 5 ones like the Great Sword of the Soulless +5 should work fairly well). For some reason, I had much better luck in hurting Isair than I did Madae, so I suggest you go for him.
4 of 4: Another strategy would be to make all your characters invisible, retreat to the side, and cast all the summoning spells you can. This and the monks helping you out ought to finish off most of the other monsters in the area, allowing you to concentrate on attacking Isair.
