============
NOTE: I forgot to Mention this, If you cannot damage a foe you need magic and if no magic +1 or above weapons. Go for +1 and above weapons. Also trolls if they are down not dead fire or acid.

Before I post the timestamps, I forgot to mention two important details. First of all some foes are immune to mundane or normal weapons as people call em. You need +1 and above on weapons. Magic works against em than again magic is limited so find some +1 weapons or better if tougher foes requires em. Second when a Troll is down, ACID or FIRE arrows will take em out. Other than that enjoy the timestamps.

I am about to play this for the first time, I never played much of these Crpg games but I played a lot of the old D&D pen, paper and dice games 2nd edition, I had this thought, these early games (icewind dale, planescape torment, baldurs gate, never winter ect. are really just an extension of pen, paper and dice games, which relied heavily upon on your imagination not graphics, hence all the reading, story dialog and branching trees so for people that haven't seen a stat sheet and made a character before it seems very alien or daunting to them, lol
@@chriscangelosi9438 That is cool to hear. This game is a really fun classic ADnD 2.0 game. One day I will put a playthrough on the channel.
@@LordFentonGaming you did a great good explaining things in the beginners guide video so I had to subscribe. Looking forward to seeing a playthrough!
I have a question:
Can a thief set up traps in Original Icewind Dale or only in EE ?
@@SkyFly19853 If I remember EE gives thieves that ability. It is going by BG 1 rules I believe so no traps in the original unless you put mods on it.
The pinnacle of computer dungeon crawling.
I agree with you on this.
Under 'sorcerer' you missed out 'dragon disciple'. Otherwise, excellent overview. Many thanks!
I knew I've missed something even though I've heavily at this time using the 3rd edition version. Thanks for enjoying this guide.
This was awesome gameplay dear very nice! loving it 💕 I left a thumbs up dear
Glad you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition guide. I wanted to do this so people on any systems who gotten this game can now get some beginners help.
Very nice intro to the basics. I just received my physical copy of the EE and will be starting this weekend. I'll be coming back to use this video to use as a guide for my party creation.
Thanks so much.
Game on Normal is very hard, and I played DnD in the 80s as a kid lol
It can be hard at times still keep your cool and you got this. This is really cool.
Dope upload, great guide as always! Big Thumbs up.
Thank you Salus Vindex. I wanted to get some IE games guides out since they got console releases. I am happy this one is out and helping people with some basics including how dungeon loot works.
Awesome game and love all the different options!!
This game is great. You can built almost any type of party. I even did an evil playthrough with an mostily evil party (Except druid, he was true neutral).
Fantastic gameplay friend 👍
Thanks RGR29. Glad you enjoyed my guide.
Thank God for this
I started with 5e and I tried to jump in and some of this stuff is kind of hard to wrap my head around.
Glad this helped you out. The rules are from 2.0 and I wanted to try to get every detail as possible including how THAC0 works.
@@LordFentonGaming it's definitely an adjustment but I look forward to it
@@getthegoons dont worry I started playing back in the day when 2.0 came out and I still dont understand it, thank god for 3.0
Superb video Lord your videos are always fun to watch big like for you. :D
Thanks YoltsLoBros. I am happy I got this guide out and I will do more of these often for awhile.
Awww dude this looks right up my street. Awesome video my friend. Keep them coming boss!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition video. I did this guide so people would get help on this game. I'm happy that people will finally use this guide to get started and not worry tons.

Another reason why in IWD multi-classing is better than dual-classing while it is the opposite in BG2, is that BG2 has an EXPERIENCE cap while IWD has a LEVEL cap. You can get multiple classes up to level 30 so there is no reason to dual-class and stop development of one of the classes prematurely (well besides getting grandmastery).
IWD is a Mutli-Classers dream. If I remember I had a fighter/mage, mage/thief and even a ranger/cleric. Glad they did release the enhanced edition of the game to show this front and center for a very good reason.
Sorry im late rocking up here!! But this was a a good watch
No worries. Glad your here watching my guide. I am doing a few more Infinity engine games since they got their console releases guides than see what is next on the guide end.
@@LordFentonGaming 🤘🏿
Thanks for uploading this informative video.✌👍
My pleasure. I wanted to deliver much information for this game as possible.
Nice video big thumbs up
I am happy you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition video guide.
Awesome gameplay! Really enjoyed the upload😁 keep up the amazing, hard work😊🙌
Thank you very much Don Don. Glad you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition guide. I wanted this guide out since the console versions getting released. So now everyone who can play this game on what system they have it on benefits.
Oh that is great! I’ll have to try it out😁
Cool guide man! 👍 I remember this game coming out years ago, but never got around to playing it.
Thanks Force Hammer Gaming. This game came out in 2000 than they released it in 2014 on the PC and this month it just got a console released. I am happy I did a guide on it to help everyone who wants to play this game on any system.
Nice gameplay mate, keep up the great work! #LIKED!
Thank you SpitfireSpud. I am happy you enjoyed my Icewind Dale guide. Next up will be Planescape Torment.
Been playing for years! Working on a Bard for the first time 😂.
Very cool. The Bard is a great leader to have in your party. The bard does unlock some cool dialog in this game. Your going to love it.
Can u make don't panic guide on divine divinity and disciples games
I can in the future when I get the time. I did the 2nd original sin one. I will work on the first original sin one after the walkthrough is done.
Crap, I unknowingly picked a Beast Master as one of my guys. The rest of my party is Berserker, Cleric, and Mage. Hopin' I didn't screw myself for when it gets really hard 😬
As long as the other 5 are alright you'll do fine.
Wonderful guide, thank you.
My pleasure and I am glad this helped you out.
awesome guide i like these old school graphics 🔥👍
Thanks. I wanted to do an guide on this game since my Baldur's Gate 1 late success. I'm hitting all the IE Games including Baldur's Gate 2.
very interesting good video 👍
Thanks and glad you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition video guide.
Awesome Guide , keep up the good work !
Thanks x_Korndawg_x. Glad you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition guide.
Great guide dude 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
I am happy you enjoyed my Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition guide. I wanted to do this for everyone who plays any version of the game.
Saludos excelente videojuego pulgar arriba🎮👍
Thanks and I am happy you enjoyed the guide.
Great video my friend
Thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video guide.
Great, but needs to be about 4 more videos as a minimum. 1 if these would be a detailed walk-through of first 2 or so challenges and show how to do stuff and how to manage your team. Another would be examples of casting of common / effective spells. Is there a way to resurrect a character who has just died?
Thanks. I had to get so much in that much time.
Super, super, super like!
Thanks for your support and enjoying the video guide.
Huge like stay amazing never stop have a great day
Thanks Maryo1stt Gaming. I wanted to get this guide for PC and now new console players out. I am glad I did and hopefully I get more Infinity Engine game guides out more.
@@LordFentonGaming nice broo
Just picked this up for 2$ on the playstore. My head is spinning over all the depth to this game lol
It's a really fun and good game to play.
@@LordFentonGaming bro i can't find the dungeon key and Beamdog forums are down lol what do i do? I've checked all the crypts soooo many times. Can't find it
@@xgetxsickx Therik the armored skeleton has the Sanctum Key. The crypt with the golden altar has the Gate Key.
@@LordFentonGaming I already got the sanctum key oddly enough. Idk lol I've looted everything in all 3 crypts. Some people are saying there's a lever?
@@xgetxsickx It might be. I know the armored skeleton drops it though.
Like number 12 amazing bro
Thanks Gamer Universe for the like on this guide.
hey, is it worth to play, compared to Icewind Dale 2? Whats are the main differences? I only played 2, many times, but it has kinda issues with multiplayer online
Difference is the Dungeons and Dragons rule version. The first game is Dungeons and Dragons 2.0 with some heavy restrictions on classes and race combo. While Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 you can almost be any race and class combo for example an elven paladin instead of just human like your in Icewind Dale 1. The enhanced edition of Icewind Dale 1 is easier to get online than 2 due to 2 is using TCP/IP that requires you knowing the host or using a program like Game Ranger. I hope this helps.
@@LordFentonGaming yea, thanks. I wasnt able to run iw2 with some ppl even via hamachi or gameranger, only worked on LAN. But overall it sounds good, thanks.
amazing tut bro,
Glad you liked the tutorial for Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition.
@@LordFentonGaming no problem man :) keep up the awesome work on your channel.
Subbed
Amazing🙏💐👍
Thanks. Glad I got this guide up. Next stop Planescape Torment.
Fantastis video 👍
Glad you enjoyed my Icewind Dale guide.
How do you equip spells? Have a tone memorized but there's no way to get them onto my character menu
On the hot bar is an icon related to your class. click it and you should see your spells memorized.
How in the hell do you copy spells from scrolls to your spellbook on XBox1? Can't figure out how to do it and there seems to be no mention of it anywhere... as if I should already know. Help!
With the spell scroll of your choice, go into your inventory, inspect the spell scroll than if you see write magic than you will be able to write the spell into your spellbook unless your spell caster's intelligence is not a good number than you hit the limit or your not at your character's level (IE Level 1 caster can only write level 1 spells, gotta be level 3 at least to write down level 2 spells, and ect). I hope it helps.
This video is pure gold.

Thank you. I did this over an year or so ago to help new players into this wonderful game. I believe I did all the Bioware DnD Ones to help others out. Only one I regret not doing is Icewind Dale 2.
@@LordFentonGaming
You are welcome.
I understand what you mean.
I care about this video since I plan to make videos games...
How do I find character record on ps4
Hit R2 to go into the radical menu. I believe you select X on a character to see their stats and ect.
is this easier to pick up then baldurs gate?
I am going to say Baldur's Gate has an easier tutorial. Icewind Dale has the starting area than you get shoved into the world. What is great about this game is the entire party is custom made so you control how your party is made.
Tyty good sir
My pleasure and happy hunting.
I came here for mostly opinions on the classes.
It was really limited in this regard ☹️
I had to cut that part short due to the first edit of those classes being over an hour and yes I was going into deep detail even was laying the difference between for instance a rogue vs shadow dancer. Sorry to disappoint on that end to get the other important stuff like how THAC0 works.
Lord Fenton Gaming you could do another video on top 5 favorite classes. Your 5 least favorite classes and finish off with your top 5 party configurations. Opinions and differences of opinions are important
@@shadowdance4666 If I get time I am considering it since I did play about 3-4 good guy parties and one bad guy (The IWD EE one was the bad guys). There is so much class kits thanks to the Enhanced Edition and those kits are just awesome and at times wrong in a good way. This game to be honest is a great dungeon crawler with the option of customizing an awesome party.
Lord Fenton Gaming I believe that people are intrigued with fun party builds. Meaning not just ones that work but, experimental diverse parties that characters complement each other which just mesh well. I’m just getting into EE now. Was a fan from way back. I’m attempting a offensive party without a cleric or Druid. Just a Bard, paladin, ranger(archer) for healing. Topped off with a berserker. A dual class fighter magic user and fighter thief. My objective is to get the Bard alone as high as possible to getting war chant of the Sith. Then adding other characters. There’s a bard only quest right in town. Along with the other quests 5 level is possible before investigating the caravan at How level experience. It was easy in the old version but, we’ll see. Call upon holy might are great scrolls for cheap thrills and healing until you get the spell lol. I might go with a dwarf defender instead of berserker not sure
How do you revive dead party members on PS4??
Sure in Kuldahar there is a temple there to revive dead party members. Temples in games will cure you, heal you and even raise your dead party members. Same on other systems. Later on Clerics and Druids do get Raise Dead at spell level 5 and at spell level 7 is the more powerful version of Raise Dead called Resurrection.
How do I take out the contents of my gem bag/ scroll bag/ potion bag?
Also, can you do a tutorial on how exactly are these scrolls, potions and gems to be used?
Are there any special effects if my characters have necklaces? Or are they just for vanity?
What version of the game you do have? PC version you click on it, take out the contents from those items and put it in the inventory.
Scrolls are used for two things, if arcane spells you can add them in your spell book if your int is high or if they are both types arcane and divine magic than use em however they are gone upon being used.
Potions well you use them you either get healed if it is a healing potion, a buff or a different effect depending again on the potion.
Gems are just for selling unless noted.
Necklaces if they have stats on em yes useful otherwise go ahead and sell em for money.
Im playing on easy and i still get hammered by Partys of 10 or more,
I would abuse the pause feature. This would give you time to set up your party. For example send in your fights to attack one foe at a time while your casters pull back to avoid getting owned. Keep your cool and you got this.

Thank you for the like.
First !
Cool. Glad your first. I was busy posting a big warning about the missing +1 weapons.
@@LordFentonGaming you're very underrated. Not to many people would take the time out to do that !
👍👍👍
Thanks for the support and watching the video.
As much as I love the Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale games, THAC0 is the dumbest shit AD&D has ever done. Everything about this mechanic is counterintuitive, hey look at my ultimate warrior, he´s so good his AC is -10.
I am so glad when 3.0 came out and got rid of Thac0. I agree the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series is great.
