On the second Act of The Fury of Icewind, you will encounter Goblins, Verbeeg and Wraith. It is recommended not to skip any enemy and defeat them all to loot their drops and gain additional XP. On this Act you will have to make your way to defeat several groups of enemies at different locations, after this, you have to retrieve a lever and place it at the gate of the Mausoleum, defeat their guardians and encounter Bjorn at the Hall of Judgement. You may encounter zones with icy ground. If you step on icy ground you will suffer Cold Damage and you may gain Slowed status effect for a short period. There are fireplaces and firesword from where you can gain the Warmth effect to avoid getting any damage by walking through the icy ground and explore new ways, these fireplaces are sometimes hidden by some rocks you'll have to wreck off to be able to find them. Avoid stepping on icy ground when it's possible or sprint quickly out of it. A waypoint mark on your screen will always indicate you where to go to reach the objective locations but it is recommended to always explore each alternative way to find additional loot, find and defeat Nathourn the Spiteful, find and destroy the giant urns to complete optional objectives and gain extra experience.

  1. Reach the Portal
  2. Reach the ruined Temple of Othea
  3. Defeat Icewind
  4. Activate Ballista
  5. Fire Ballista
  6. Defeat Icewind

 

Reach the ruined Temple of Othea: Move forward, behind the elevator there's a Relief on the right corner. Go back to the elevator, press both pressure plates and go up. The elevator is very long. You skip the cutscene if you want to.

Defeat Icewind: Icewind fires cold damage through her mouth. If you are not close enough, it will be hard to avoid getting damaged by the cold. If you are melee hitting in, pay attention to the front feet, if it lifts one, jump back quickly to avoid getting hit.

Activate Ballista: Icewind will become invulnerable and fly away making a wind storm after you've taken a small part of her health. Take the way to the side, to the ballista, it will be guarded by Goblins. Defeat them to remove the force field over the ballista.

Fire Ballista: Hit the ballista to fire at Icewind.

Defeat Icewind: Return to the center and defeat the Goblins around, to charge your Ultimate while Icewind is not at range. When Icewind comes to ground, use your Ultimate against her if you fully charged it 

(This process must be repeated a few times until Icewind is defeated)
