Icewind Dale Game Guide
Proceed slowly, as there are a lot of enemies to fight on this level; try to take out a few enemies at a time without grabbing the attention of others. Once the main chamber is cleared out, hit the small hall to the north-center part of the map, then the one to the south. Next, hit the northeastern hall and get the key kept in the northernmost chamber there (you need it for the southeastern hall). Grab the runestone in the southeastern hall, then pull the lever in front of the eastern pillar in the main hall to open the western door to the third tomb level. Proceed through. Note that the runestone can be worn for a +10 hit point bonus.

Here you will meet Kresselack, the main spirit entombed here. The north and south chambers are optional; Kresselack is to the West.
This level pretty much consists of beating down legions of undead to get to the westernmost chamber and a meeting with Kresselack himself. Just keep the lure tactics going and try to fight just a few enemies at a time. You can explore the northern and southern chambers for some extra loot and experience. Once you get to Kresselack, talk to him, and he'll promise to help you if you kill Lysan, his enemy.

Let's go do that. Exit the tomb. We'll be going to the caves, the only unexplored area left in the vale (It's in the center, south of the statue). Just outside the entrance, you'll run into some yeti, including the yeti chieftain, who has Mirek's family heirloom. I told you we'd get it back. Enter the cave.

Inside, you'll find Lysan, along with several yeti. After speaking with her, you'll inevitably wind up in battle. Try to take Lysan out first with magic, then concentrate on the weaker yeti. Good luck!

After the battle, rest and head back to Kresselack. He'll tell you that he really didn't know anything about the evil plaguing Kuldahar other than the fact that he is not it, but he'll thank you and give you some nice booty (and a load of experience). Now, head back to Kuldahar.

On your return, don't forget to give Mirek back his heirloom. Also, be sure to unload all your loot and restock on missile weaponry before seeing Arundel and getting your next quest. When you're ready, go to Arundel.

He'll send you to the Temple of the Forgotten God to look for an ancient scrying artifact known as the heartstone gem. Let's go get it.
