Information

It was not Goblins that drove the Battlehammers from their halls. It was Duergar. They came from the Underdark and had penetrated the lower Halls, exposing the dwarved to attack.

With the dwarven warriors off fighting Kessell, those dwarves who remained behind were no match for the invading duergar.

Before the Battlehammer Halls could be secured, we would have to seal the duergar breaching tunnels.

Use it in the covered tunnel to complete the objective.

Now you have to locate the dwarven foundry. Go to where the lowered platform is and climb the small wall. Turn left, to see a giant dwarf statue. There are spikes all over it, read the pattern and move patiently through it to avoid receving damage.  Use a ranged attack to destroy the red barrel just in front of you. Head inside that small room in front of you, andactivate the lever to lower another platform. This one contains a Tome and gold sacks. Move to the fall to face some Duergar.
