Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Missing key to human council member's house!

I still can't find the key to the human council member's house. He is still locked inside! The key was not dropped from the witch and it was not in the elf's house (not on the shelf with the banner and plant, either). I have no idea why it isn't where it's supposed to be, but I'm certain that I didn't pick it up and somehow lose it. My keys never leave my inventory. There's no possibility that I might have accidentally sold, stored, or dropped it somewhere. Am I going to have to use this cheat method to fix the game?? Is everyone absolutely sure that there aren't any other ways I can enter the house? What about the hatch inside? How do I get to it?(Reloading an old saved game isn't an option...)

mabey Raze has it in that lost items thingy.

At the beginning of the game you could come up through the hatch in Mardaneous' house from a tunnel reached by the well. However, the ladder up to the hatch is no longer there once the orcs invade Aleroth.

The dire warning in the lost items post was to keep people from file swapping when they just had to go back over an area with the alt key pressed, and when it was necessary, to encourage them to follow the procedure carefully and to save under a new name before starting. There were less warnings in the post in the old forum, and a couple people accidentally overwrote the wrong files without making a backup, and had to revert to an earlier save.

It seems my only other option is to quit the game, since I won't be able to beat it without having the key required to release the human council member. Thus, I guess I'll have to use this cheat/bug fix. I really hope it works...

I'll come back if I have any problems getting it to work.

Genius! It worked! =)

Well, Thats Just one of the Many things that I have been Unable to Complete--I have all the Other members but Mardaneous.I killed everything in that area Long,Long ago,and nothing dropped a Key for that Door.The Well entrance I used previously didn't work either. Now,HOW in this World am I [Supposed[/b]to Know just where this key is? Nothing in the Game leads me to that Revelation. And,Yes,I Searched all around the area where I killed the Witch,both with the ALT and mouse cursor but finally just gave up.
So,in My case,its not a Key that I have LOST because I have never had it in the first Place. Exactly Where is this Key Supposed to be? Pray tell exactly what and Where --In the Game--gave you this Clue/Info?

It's on a dresser in the house of lanilor, in plain sight.
Press alt so you can easely spot it, there is a known bug that the key doesn't show up though... Then you'll have to use one of the cheats to get the key.

I know, it sucks...

I had that bug before <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
