Killed Nere by going in the back way, broke the quest.

[BananaGuy]

There are two double doors behind the place where Nere gets stuck. I stacked a bunch of boxes and then misty stepped to get back there. I unlocked the doors and then fought Nere, killed him. Then got the bomb to blow open the rubble and now nothing happens.

I don't think the game has a resolution to me killing Nere early.

Q; What did you expect to happen. If Nere is dead you can deliver his head to the Myconids.

So yes, I wrote a detailed bug report on this in the end. Ultimately Nere being killed before you get him out, results in breaking the cutscene that follows when you free the surviving trapped gnomes on the other side. There is supposed to be a confrontation, but it can't happen because Nere is dead. So the scene gets bugged and any npc that was supposed to be a part of that scene is also bugged and unresponsive. So it breaks the game.

All I was trying to do is save the gnomes by killing Nere early and not having to go into the confrontation.

That's clever play. I would've hoped it saved that gnome woman that otherwise gets blasted into the lava. But sounds like a nope.

I might try to replicate, maybe next week.

I tried this and the same thing happened to me. I looked online after to see if others have tried this. Gnome bugged in room not moving. No dialogue with her. Dark Dwarf leader does not acknowledge that he was killed. Also when I got in room before the doors were opened I couldn't talk to any of the three within. I was hoping for a secret way to save the gnome but all it really does is break quest. The gnome has to die unfortunately. I doubt this will change now that ive seen that others have tried and nothing has been changed. It was fun to try though.
