Can't enter Hill Giant enclave

[banner]

I can't enter the Hill Giant's enclave (I'm blocked by a force field).

When I speak to the "Old Witch", she says that she hopes I'm able to free the hostages, or something to that effect.

However, I freed every hostage I could find.

I've been through the Orc fortress over and over, searching for a hostage I might have missed.

Also, in the original cave, I never got past some of the locked doors.

I sided with a dwarf who was opposing the king. However, he (the character with whom I had formed a pact) died during the fight with the king and his men.

I never found a key.

I sure hope that that doesn't prevent me from continuing (also, it doesn't explain why the Old Witch speaks as if I have not found all the hostages).

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi banner, if you read the letters found in the orc fortress, they point towards the under-mountain passage found in the world map. That's the next step for you.

Thanks for the feedback!

This is a bit embarrassing.

Years ago, I played all the way through the game. Twice.

Once with 2 knights, a cleric, and a wizard.

Once with 1 knight, 2 wizards, and a cleric.

The first time I played through the game, I had no problems at the Hill Giant enclave, because I read the note and played accordingly.

The second time through was almost immediately after the first time, so I had no problem there.

This time, I didn't bother with notes because I THOUGHT that I remembered everything I needed to do (I didn't recall anything tricky or non-obvious being in the game).

Anyway, thanks for the head's up.

Die slaver scum!
