    [​IMG] did you enter the passageway/tunnel that leads you to the bottom part of the map? There are trolls and stuff there that you may have overlooked. If you killed the Hook Horrors already, you're over the worst of it!:) And you opened all the doors in the area, right?

    I think I recall a bug wherein, if you clear the caves before talking to the dwarf, the quest cannot be completed.

    thanks for your replies guys...

    coine howdy? yes i already killed those trolls and the the other monsters inside the passage way.. is it the passage where leads to the key of the duergar stronghold's gate right?

    heeya Acrux! nope, i killed only the trolls, jellies and a monster with entangle (forgot the name) since the key to the stronghold is there... i followed the walkthrough from this site but still didn't work.. im stuck from this map for 2 days now :(

    thanks guys

    Just help the Duergar with everything you can to get XP and other stuff(especially have a character with 18+ int help to build the crossbow) and kill them afterwards. They're evil and this way you'll get better stuff than I got in my game.

    [​IMG] it might be possible that you missed an encounter somehow. walk around more, and you might get abushed again by hook horrors... there's a chamber with eggs, if you walk in, some horrors should pop up.

    and you should wait till entering the monastery - you can get the most XP by completing quests in the monastery, then killing everyone in the monastery, then returning for a reward from the duergar, and THEN killing the duergar. Those Gray Dwarfs don't know what evil is....muahahahaHAAAAAAA:evil:

    cheat in 51misc39 (mining tools) to avoid having to kill the duergar early, you can return to this area later to solve the problem, hopefully.

    IIRC, you have to walk right to the back of the egg chamber and pick up whatever's on the floor before the monsters appear.

    You really should kill the dueargar, it makes for more XP later on
