I've got another lvl2 clue that demands I re-enter the desert mining camp (I have completed the Tourist Trap quest). I seem to recall the last time I had one I ended up throwing it away because I couldn't get back in the camp - is there a way to get back in?? I've tried following the quest guide again and I just get dumped in the desert by the guards.

have u done the part to get the key?

Yes, as I say above, I have completed the Tourist Trap quest. I had the key. No, I don't have it any more (I think I might have worked out how to get in if I had the key....) - I probably cleared it out for bank space before I ever got the key ring (assuming it will fit on the key ring...but that's another question).

If you haven't got the key (it does go on the key ring). Then I guess the only possible ways to do it would be to either fight the Captain again or talk to the woman by the Shantay pass who you spoke to at the end of the quest (bit of a long shot).

thanks - I'll try both....or just throw the clue away. You know how you spend hours killing guards when you want a clue, then later when you're doing something else and you just happen to smack one in passing, lo! a clue! that you can't finish...

I had this exact problem before but i figured it out. The way to get the key again to get back into the mining camp is that you have to speak to the captain and get the dialogue up of when you can say to him, "I guess you can't fight your own battles", he then chalenges you to a 1 on 1 duel and when you kill him he drops the key.

Sorted, thanks - I couldn't find a dialog that got me into a fight so I did it the old-fashioned way...right click, attack Captain - he dropped the key right into my inventory :)
