Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark Hints

Is there a way to get past the rubble blockade in Olgin's room?

  • 1 of 10: Did you talk to Olgin about it after you defeated him?
  • 2 of 10: Try asking him about ways down to the next level.
  • 3 of 10: He'll mention the blocked passage and say that it might be cleared by setting off a keg of alchemist's fire next to it.
  • 4 of 10: You need to search around until you find such a keg, then bring it here.
  • 5 of 10: The only keg around is in the south part of level 1, in the small treasure room that you can get to through the Fairy Sorceress' room.
  • 6 of 10: Lug it all the way back to Olgin's room (using the yellow portal network for a bit of a shortcut if you can put up with its randomness) and set it down right next to the two huge rocks that are blocking the path to the door in the NW corner.
  • 7 of 10: To drop the keg, stand next to the rocks and bring up your inventory screen, then right-click on the keg and choose to drop it.
  • 8 of 10: Now click on the keg and choose to ignite its wick.
  • 9 of 10: Back off so you don't get hurt, then wait for the explosion.
  • 10 of 10: The rubble will be cleared, allowing you to reach the door that's beyond it.
