this is pissing me off, i went out to zorkatraz without the key. i have a save there.

I came back and got the key, but the tard won't bring me back to there

is there anyway to get another ride out there? any help is appreciated

could be wrong, but i don't believe it's necessary to have the key before you go out there. you must have killed all the soldiers, or Zidar wouldn't have come back to pick you up -- didn't you find a key dropped by the dead commander? i know you can get a Zorkatraz key by killing all the soldiers in the eastern barracks, but i think i did that later in the game, so you should be able to get one on Zorkatraz (use your save).

thank you! i missed the key previously, i was thinking i f'd up the whole quest
