    [​IMG] I seem to be having problems with the first duergar quest. I've already gone and cleared out all the monsters I could find in the caves, but when I go back to the duergar commander It says taht I haven't completed it yet. I don't know if it's because of my constant editing with Dalekeeper2 or because of installing the IWD2ease patches. Can anyone help?

    You must go through those caves until you kill all those monsters. It takes some time and you must go few times through each tunnel and kill everything.

    And don't forget that one room (I think its the first on the right) has an entrance to a deeper passage, where you have to kill a large number of slimes.

    I hope its not the old bug where if you kill everything first and then take the quest you cant complete it and dont get the reward.
    There was a silly little problem with a variable not being switched due to the fact that it did not exist prior to accepting the quest. I think some mod fixed it, but I'm not too sure.

    If nothing else works load from the auto-save and and this time leave something alive before taking the quest from the druegar.

    I killed everything before going into the Duergar fortress... had no problem completing the quest.

    I ALWAYS have a problem with this quest. I've only been able to complete it a couple of times even though I know where all the monsters are and I always talk to the dwarves before killing everything. There is definitely a bug in this quest.

    I havent seen any problems with it. First you go in and kill all the hook horrors at the start of the level. Then you go to the fortress find the door is locked, tehn you go to the cave and you find 7 ice trolls, and about 12 slimes, and a shambler, kill all of those, and get the key. Go back to the fortress, talk to Barud and get the quest. Then you wander off to the east and confront about 12 hook horrors at the start of the cave entrance. Kill all those. Click on the cave in, go through. Come back to the fortress talk to Barud again (needs to be the same character I think). I dont remember him saying anything about the cave in quest after that. But before you can rest, you need to accept the quest to clear out all the monsters in all the caves. :)

    Oh, and I would strongly advise you to eliminate all the denizins of the fortress before leaving the caves for the next set of caves, otherwise youre gonna have a really messy fight when you attempt to leave the Monestary...
