If you put the Helm of Opposite Alignment and Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity on Shar-Teel at the same time, she turns into Aerie.
(Now you know what became of Shar-Teel between BG1 and BG2.)
The idea of putting the girdle of femininity/masculinity on Shar-Teel and then listening to her man hate is just so delightfully ironic that I'm going to have to do that sometime
There is a hack to get all the Icewind Dale spells in the game, it's been around since 2000 from a bug that was fixed with patch 26498 for ToB, but was overlooked in the EE. Here are the steps (you need an arcane caster and Minsc, and you have to be in the Copper Coronet):
1. Make a spell trigger with three Flesh to Stone spells. 2. Have a druid cast Goodberry (if no druid is around, cast Repulse Undead with a cleric) 3. Have your character eat all the Goodberries. 4. Position Minsc in front of the bar. 5. Make him go Berserk. 6. Cast Fireball, centered on Minsc. 7. Cast the Spell Trigger on your character. 8. Attack Minsc. 9. Stop when he is at 4 HP. 10. Go to his inventory. Boo can be used as a once-a-day item that unlocks all IWD spells for all classes. Enjoy!
If you tell Duke Eltan that you won't talk to him about your involvement with the Iron Throne he totally won't instakill you. Though when the time comes you will have to get a book to enter Candlekeep from someone else.

Fortunately there's a squirrel in one of the wilderness areas (I forget which one but I *think* it's on the western side of the main North-South road) that drops a valuable book which can get you into Candlekeep.
A squirrel was the reason the Bhaalspawn party was captured by the Shadow Thieves after their victory in Baldur's Gate.
That squirrel was a polymorphed thief who has tracked the Bhaalspawn party and used its cuteness so that everyone in the party was relaxed and didn't wait for an attack.

Of course it's a well-known fact that the Lady of Pain is in fact six squirrels, a cloak, a headdress, and a ring of levitation. It is less well known that these squirrels like to spend their holidays in the quiet wilderness between Baldur's Gate and Nashkel...
Did you actually know that Elminster isn't in the first game?
Notice that Melicamp was turned into a chicken when he let *something* out of a pair of Netherese bracers. Notice that when you attack "Elminster" he turns you into a chicken.
That isn't Elminster. It is a demon that uses his shape as a disguise. Do not be fooled! Kill it on sight!
You can kill Irenicus in the Spellhold with ability drain. But then you miss a large part of the game: you will be transported in the final area (the hell) instantly.
Edit: i almost forget, you must attack Irenicus before you speak with the other inmates for this to work!
If Keldorn has the Golden Pantaloons, the Silver Pantaloons and the Bronze Pantalettes in his inventory, he can speak to Cespenar who will then buy them all three for 23,456 GP. But you have to forgo the Big Metal Unit.

If you, however, give the Bronze Pantalettes to Jan Jansen and let him carry it for a month of adventuring, the inventor can then demand that Cespenar summon Jan's uncle. Uncle Scratchy will then take 8 weeks to decorate Pocket Plane and make it look like a proper garden. Afterwards, you will be able to recruit Uncle Scratchy's party gnoll, who is a swashbuckler/fighter specialized in longswords and bears the most worthy name of Patrice.

Whenever you use the bard song he sings "Doom, doom, we is all dooomed!"
Sadly, he's not a joinable NPC.
You will be able to reenter Candlekeep before Chapter 6, though.

Annoy the squirrels at your own risk!

There's also a hidden movie in BG2 that you can only see by casting Polymorph Other on Minsc.
