I just started playing Icewind not but 1 1/2 weeks ago and i am a lil stuck..i cant seem to survive the lower lvl of the last crypt (the one with mytos and the myrkul's sending) i kill the first lil set and then proceed and i just get annhilated mostly by that skelton mage. all my guys start getting diseased and paralyzed...i have tryed straight attacking the mage, didn't work just got killed by the skel archers (especially that one with the fire arrows). any tips? should have i gotten some special item that would help me? ANYTHING!?

listen, its kinda easy. what you should do, is get your mage, or cleric to cast some sort of a creature spell. if you can, haste them, so they can move faster, and get more attacks in. then, have your thief hide in shadows, and move up slowly, so as not to get too many enemies on the screen at once. let your hasted monsters deal out the damage, and soak up those nasty arrows. if they get killed, THEN have your mage shoot long range spells, and have anyone with missle weapons attack them too. just move a little at a time, and deal with them slowly. then, move out of their sight, and rest. then, repeat. it shouldnt be too difficult. also, shoot a couple of fireballs into the area before you go in. if you rest, and rememorize them, you will be healed, and have all of your spells, but the monsters wont. i hope this helps.

Summoned monsters, animate dead, and area affect prebombardment is good also have your mage hit the enemy mage with magic missiles, good damage and quick casting time so you can disrupt him while someone from yor party tries to get close to him to put him down.

Summoning monsters and lobbing fireballs are all great strategies for a party that can do those things. I must be in way over my head, because My party consist of an even split of 3rd lvl characters and 4th lvl characters. My mage is only third level and can't do anything worthwhile. So far he has been an XP sponge. Have I missed something along the way? Are my PC's too low level for this area?

Use arrows/bullets often here, send out a scout who is bow equiped to draw bad guys back to the rest of your group. Oh yea, and save often!
