Duergar tunnels quest help!

Remove all ads!

Please help!
Acoording to all of the walkthroughs, at first I took Barud's quest of killing all the monsters and only after that I did it. I killed EVERYONE there!!! And still when coming back to Barud my party says that the quest is not complete yet and there is no any note in the diary? Why? Could anyone help me?

In exchange for some help I may tell about one of the easiest but still fair way to kill the hook horrors. At first my bard makes the whole party beside one invisible. That one visible goes "to meet his death", then, when all the hook horrors are distracted, my sorcerer casts a spell (i dont know how it's called exactly, I play this game in Russian) Otiluk's magic sphere. A violet ball that makes a guy inside it invulnerable, but he cannot influence anything. Hook horros will be still attacking him in the sphere. You may kill them all with pleasure!!!!

Yulia, do you have the patch installed? because without it, this quest is a 'broken' quest. The patch will solve this.

 

I love your method of killing the Hook Horrors; wish I'd thought of it. You want the l.02 patch, which I believe is available here.

 

You killed all the olive sime, ice trolls and the shambler in the side tunnel, right?

 

One thing I noticed with Otiluk's magic sphere (or however it's spelled ) is that any character trapped in that spell won't gain any xp for as long as he's/she's in there. In an attempt to gain more xp I introduced a lvl 1 lad which I thought would gain levels rapidly, but to keep him alive I always used to cast that spell. So he never went anywhere Invisibility works better though.

 

Thank you Takara, Cernak. Unfortunately I can't use the patch from this site, because my game is in Russian, but still I'll try to find it.

As far as Otiluk is conserned, I know about the problem with xp, Tadidas, but usually my party member stays in not until the fight is over. Only at first, when my sorcerer makes them weak with fire balls, then cleric casts 'dispel the magic'. And also I always try different party members in the sphere. Still this way may be used anywhere, when you can't win

 

I'm playing the game without the patch, mainly because I'm too lazy to un-install/re-install the Weimer mods, so I couldn't complete the quest in the duergar caves either. It's not crucial; just ignore it and keep going.

 

For the Duegar Quest Completion...I killed everyone and the Head Duegar rewarded me and everything, without the need of patch mind you, so there might be an enemy hiding in the corner somewhere so search every nook and cranny.

As far as the Hook Horror Tactic, That is a good tactic, but my tactic was fairly simple and my group receive minimal damage.

I had my lvl 9 Paladin(+ 2 lvls of fighter), my lvl 9 monk, and my level 9 duergar fighter charge the group of hook horrors while lvl 9 wizard and lvl 8 cleric blast them with powerful spells. Also, my ranger is shooting the hook horrors with arrows from long range.
