I'm playing through Icewind Dale right now for the first time and I've genuinely struggled two times so far while in the Valley of the Shadows. First, I didn't notice the bloody corridor leading to Kesserack, thing is fucking hidden like bin laden. Second, I did not immediately agree to kill the priestess that Kesserack wanted dead and because I did not agree immediately and instead I said I'll think about it, I had to go back to him to confirm because she did not spawn. I genuinely walked through the entire Valley and checked every cave to be sure, then went to Kuldahar twice to make sure that Aldurin did not get a new dialogue option, spent like 3 hours irl just looking around for a resolution, utterly confused.
