The Gnoll Stronghold is located far southwest of Nashkel in BG1. Your primary purpose in this area can vary depending whether parties are assisting Edwin, one of the Red Wizards of Thay. Or the Rasheemen Ranger, Minsc to either rescue the diviner, Dynaheir, or at Edwin's behest: kill her.

The area is controlled extensively by gnolls, and the only bridge connecting the cliffside manned by two ogres, which can be bribed or killed by the player. Regardless of how the Player proceeds about his/her mission, Dynaheir is located in one of the upper level pits, awaiting her fate at Gnoll hands.

The gnolls are fearsome fighters in close combat, and can take more than a few blows or projectiles for low level parties to bring down. The worst part is, the enemies constantly respawn in the area, so there is no shortage of enemies of the player to fight through.

The quests in this area are:

Edwin located in Nashkel - Kill Dynaheir Minsc located in Nashkel - Find Dynaheir
