How very annoying. I just started another game with a solo character this time, and I "cannot initiate dialog" with the sewage golem to get him to unlock the doors because he always "appears busy." I got the activation stone and all that good stuff and I even re-loaded to the beginning to do it over with the other NPC's this time, only to find that he still won't speak to me. I really don't feel like making another character just for this stupid problem. Help?

Solutions:

1) Install the patch which can be found on SP here. (http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index_misc.htm)

2) Pickpocket the key off him. He wont go hostile.

Thanks very much.

If you continue having problems, simply keep Imoen around for a few seconds and have her pickpocket and get the key so the game can progress. If you don't want to do this, you can kill him with either Melf's Minute Meteors or a Spirtual(sp?) Hammer and get the key as well.

I don't think you realu need that golem to BE busy...I unlocked the door myself or you could pickpocket him, and maybe kill him...
