From what I can decipher, and assuming my deduction is correct, you have misunderstood what the others have been talking about. What they are looking for is the Girdle of Frost Giant Strength, which is a component to make an unique weapon in the game.

Feel free to down as many Potions of Frost Giant Strength as you want.

ooooooooooo that makes sense. well what does the Girdle of frost giant strenght create? is it any good?

BWUAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!?!?!??!?!!?!?!
Is it good????! Alas, I myself used to be uneducated in the ways of Crom Faeyr. Yes it is good. Ridiculously good. The girdle of Frost Giant Strength is a component needed to assemble a REALLY good hammer that can kill golems and ogres (and ettins? but i've never come across one of those) in one hit and raises your strength a LOT. Weild it well.

Decurion

P.S. I think it also does a few points of lightning damage that aren't mentioned in the desciption? I heard that somewhere.

could you tell me what the other items where but not where they are located?

Thanks

The other items are the Gloves of ogre strength, the crom faeyr scroll, the hammer of thunderbolts, and the aforementioned girdle of frost giant strength. (take the items to cromwell to assemble in case you didn't know)

There r a few ettins in BG2, one is in the fish city and the other ones r while doing ur Paladin StrongHold Quest.

Yah, ShadowKeeper's description sez it does 5 "electrical" damage in addition to the base damage - well not literally lightning, but same thing

I've never understood why, in the description for the Hammer of Thunderbolts, it says that when the necessary components are merged, the weapon is capable of doing an additional +8 damage...?

Both done before you can assemble the hammer.
