Icewind Dale Game Guide
Appendix: Cheating
It's conceivable that you'll hit a point in the game that you just can't get past, no matter how many times you try. For these rare occurances, game designers of old invented a little system called CHEATING. If you need (or just want) to cheat in Icewind Dale, here's how you do it.

First, note that these cheats will only work with version 1.05 and later of Icewind Dale. You can obtain a patch to the latest version from http://www.interplay.com/icewind. Next, back up your 'icewind.ini' file. (Just in case)

Use Notepad to edit the 'icewind.ini' file (Located in your Icewind Dale directory) by choosing 'Start -> Run -> Notepad.exe'. Add the line 'Cheats=1' under the '[Game Options]' section. Start the game and press [Ctrl] + [Tab] to display the console window. Type 'CHEATERSDOPROSPER:EnableCheatKeys();' (case-sensitive) to enable cheat mode. Then, enter one of the following codes while playing a game:
