Stuck at Cave in

[σ DreDizzy]

Hey guys i think im just in a sucky stuck position where my only option is to fail and im hoping somebody knows something i dont here. I need to clear the cave in in the underdark but cant leave the area (i had to long rest). I stupidly used one of the smokepowder charges on some mythril ore because the internet told me using something that applied force damage was the only way to break it so now i only have one of the two you need to break the cave in for the quest. I didnt manage to get any extra from the barrel or the chick before she ran off to say screw all the gnomes and i havent been able to find any more smokepowder charges anywhere i look. Anyone have any ideas where i could get some more in the grymforge or anyother way i can break open the cavein?

There is also Rune powder you get from the goblin girl.

Or you can simply hit the rubble with a Greathammer until it breaks.

Just explore, There’s never just 1 way to do things.

so far ive tried using pickaxes, ive tried force spells and cantrips, and nothing seems to do damage to it except the smokepowder charge (everything else says it takes no damage because of medium toughness) it seems in the past in early access the cave-in didnt have this tag and was able to be demolished with force spells but i am no longer sure that is the case. refering to the runepowder i failed the check to get it hours before where i am now (since i explored and did the forge boss fight afterwards) so i am left with only the one smokepowder charge unless we can find something creative.

Here's your solution:
Talk to the Duegar to get the mission to free Nere (sounds like you already have). Talk to the Gnome slaves to learn about the escaped Gnome. Go meet her - go through the hidden door in the kitchen/dining hall area. Get the RunePowder charge from her. Go back to the rockslide, throw the runepowder on it. stand back and blow it up with a fire arrow or firebolt spell.

In the Grymforge, you can long rest as many times as you need to UNTIL you enter the rockslide area for the first time. After that you can't leave or long rest without consequences. That's why I always do everything else in the forge first, then go to the rockslide area and finish things up.

Use bombs or use a barrel of smokepowder (there are plenty around, like a couple of barrels in a cave with a secret entrance, just around the corner from the druid enclave). For the cave-in where Deep Rothe are being whipped by Duergar, help them kill the Duergar and they will clear the obstruction for you.

I send all smokepower barrels to my camp chest. I just used one of those,. itmade quick work of the wall,. then I made quick work of the Drow. It seemed to work out well.

So this is where i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up, ive already talked to her and didnt get the rune powder cuz i failed the check, i had the two hidden satchels but used one and now only have one for the cave in (two or more are needed) and ive already long rested so i cant leave the location without the guy and all the gnomes dying

Yeah ive seen alot online from what ive been looking up that theres a ton in the goblin camp but ive never noticed them or thought to pick them up so now im stuck and only have the one satchel charge and have rested so i cant go back up to the surface to grab any of them

Well, if you've used up all your other smoke powder and failed to get the runepowder and have no more access to the outside; then you might just have to go "oh well, guess I'm not getting Nere out". It won't end your game, just alter some events.

There's one other option that might work (I haven't tried it, but I heard it might work). If you haven't done the actual Forge yet, you could create one of the Adamantine Weapons. They have special damage vs. inanimate objects and might be able to break the rocks. Also, you can still kind of save the Gnomes by just starting a fight with the Duegar even without breaking the rockslide. Won't get Nere or his tadpole, but it might be an option...[\spoiler]

IIRC spoiler There is a room east side of the boat dock where two smoke powder charges are

For me so far, a map marker for this will appear, but I don't know how I acquire it. It's one of those ? markers.

Any maul with GWM does enough damage to just beat it open. Never bothered with using any explosives.

It kinda seems like my only option tbh, i have a save before i got the first mythril ore and did the forge the first time and another save before i decided what to do for the second forging so i could load up the second one and see if one of those weapons might help. I liked getting both armor sets but none of the stuff i could forge worked for my build specifically anyway so i might be willing to eat the second one in exchange for not having to do the forge all over again.
