Icewind Dale Play Order

Both Icewind Dale epics in order, from the 2000 Easthaven caravan through Kuldahar temples to the 2001 Heart of Winter expansion and Trials bard finale. Play the base game before the expansion, since Trials assumes you know the Heart party level.

About Icewind Dale

Icewind Dale from Black Isle launched in June 2000 as a combat heavy Infinity Engine trek with a custom six party from Easthaven to Dorn's Deep. The linear dungeon crawl spans 40 hours with pause tactics. Heart of Winter from February 2001 continues with barbarian threats and higher levels.

Trials of the Luremaster from July 2001 adds a free bard castle as finale. Enhanced Editions from Beamdog in 2014 match PC content with new kits. No third Dale was made, so the base plus two addons form the set with Icewind Pass closed.

Good to know

Play Icewind Dale then Heart of Winter then Trials in order since party levels and gear carry over directly. Trials assumes a Heart level party around 15, so import your finale save. Enhanced Editions play the same maps with zoom and kits, so prefer them. Treat the run as closed with one pass cleared at the end.
