Icewind Dale Game Guide
Chapter 2
It's on to the Dragon's Eye to claim the heartstone gem to discern the location of the evil leader.

Dragon's Eye
When you first enter the map, you'll be beset by several ice trolls; they're not tough. Enter the eye and take out the lizard men. They're large, but they aren't tough. Take them out and help yourself to the treasure in the room to the north. After this, head south and proceed to clear out the level; just stay clear of the northeastern chamber, as that's where this level's final battle will occur. The area is occupied by a combination of lizard men, wraith spiders (that are only susceptible to magical attacks, and they will disease your party members; have some mummy's tea on hand to remedy this), sword spiders (quick melee spiders), and phase spiders (generally weak spiders with the dimension door ability). Kill them all and rest before the final northeastern battle.

The northeastern chamber holds a battle with the lizard king.
For the final battle, the lizard king will speak to you as you enter the room. After you're done talking, retreat down the passageway for a more close-quarters fight. There are two lizard man shamans in the room, so you don't want them to cast spells on you right away. After killing all your opponents, loot the large statue and head to the next level through the southeast exit.

You'll immediately run into a few more lizard men. Take them out and head to the southwest. Be prepared for tougher battles than on the last level. Trolls will attack you here, and even though they seem to go down after a few blows, you must hit them with magic or fire to kill them. Flaming oil is excellent for the task.

Presio, a powerful mage, is waiting for you in the southeastern area surrounded by many a zombie and wight.
Be sure to rest before taking on the massive group of trolls and priests of Talona here. Also, they have a captive, Mother Egenia, and you don't want to erroneously kill her with a stray fireball spell. Once you've defeated them, Mother Egenia will tell you of the captives to the southeast. Note that in the small space directly north of this battle is Sheemish, Conlan's son. If you rescue him, you'll get a nice experience reward and more once you speak to him back in Kuldahar. Proceed eastward and talk to the captives, then go free Sheemish. Afterward, backtrack past the entrance to this level and clear out the easier eastern path. The exit to the third level of Dragon's Eye is in the southeast chamber.
