Might and Magic IX Hints
Break through the hard rock.
1 of 8: Ketil Strongpick, who's in the room east of the entry area, gives you this quest if you have Jarl Sven's quest on you to find out why Thjorad production has stopped.
2 of 8: He gives you directions to the hard rock site.
3 of 8: Take the passage that leads east from his room and explore the area.
4 of 8: There's a lot of passages and rooms that way, and you should explore them all for maximum experience and items.
5 of 8: The "hard rock" is blocking the cave room that's directly east of Strongpick's room (the one near the east end of the map).
6 of 8: Shoot and/or hack at the rock until enough pieces fall away to free the demoness in the cave.
7 of 8: Don't worry about her; she'll just thank you and teleport away.
8 of 8: Go back and report success to Strongpick to complete this quest.
