Icewind Dale Wiki

The basement foyer of the Aquatic Museum of Wyrm's Tooth is a small map in the Icewind Dale game.

Description[]

This small, round room is a "hub" connecting multiple maps.

Exits[]

Top-Left corridor: to the basement library
Top gate:
(requires Dugmaren's Key)
to the worldmap transition area
Top-right corridor: to the basement library
Bottom corridors: back to the main outdoors map

Plot[]

Your party does not have to enter this map in order to complete the Icewind Dale main quest – only the connected basement library is relevant to the plot.

Enemies[]

This map is usually empty.
However, if you come here after freeing the slaves but before killing Kerish, you are faced with 8 hostile creatures (regardless of the difficulty setting):

Creature type Count Loot
Snow Troll (lvl 9) 4 minor loot
Frost Salamander (lvl 10) 4 minor loot

Locked doors[]

The locked gate to the worldmap transition area can only be opened using Dugmaren's Key, which you can get from Kerish.
(But you can also reach the transition area without the key via the main outdoors map.)

Traps[]

None.

(The locked gate to the worldmap transition area gets detected by your thief as if it were trapped, but no trap actually springs when you try to open it.)

Lootable containers[]

None.
