Hiyas,
Well, i killed all the umber hulk and rhino beatles in the area with the Svirfneblin, but i didn't get into any caves or anything.... now there are no umber hulks spawning... am i locked out of that area now and if so, am i hopelessly messed up?

Thanks for help!

Did you go all the way to the top of the map then move to the right? There is a trigger line one of your party members needs to cross here which causes a bunch more Umber Hulks to spawn. Once you've killed them, you can go through the cave entrances that appear behind them.

Thanks for reply, i tried to find trigger point, with no luck, crawled all around area i could get too, hehe. no more hulkies want to play with me, hehe, maybe a loc or something, but not sure i can trigger it.
If i did trigger it, before, and didn't go through, would it close (or has it closed, hehe)
ALso, if it is untriggerable, the other part of my question, is it a necessary area for finishing game? or can i go on and now worry about it. Or am i heading back to a previous save,

THanks again!

No, once it's open, it stays open. I don't think the area is essential to the plot, but you'd be missing out on some goodies, not to mention another safe place to rest and a priest who can heal your party members. Did you bring Tarnelm some food? I just remembered you need to do that before the Umber Hulks & cave entrances show up.
