The Baldur’s Gate 3 Iron Throne jail is likely one of the most memorable sections within the recreation, as you’re employed towards the clock to save lots of a bunch of prisoners in Gortash’s underwater jail. You see, town’s new archduke is forcing Gondians to construct his military of Metal Watch robots, and is guaranteeing their obedience by holding their households in a secret underwater facility.
However whenever you rock as much as save them, Gortash decides everybody’s higher off useless, and so units the place to self-destruct. It is a race towards time as you attempt to save as many as you’ll be able to, whereas additionally looting something not nailed down and combating the fishmen who’ve damaged in. Oh, and Wyll’s father can be caught in a cell. Here is learn how to get to the Iron Throne in addition to some ideas to offer you a combating likelihood in saving the prisoners.
How you can get to the Iron Throne

Gortash’s underwater jail is just accessible by way of submarine, so it’s good to head to the docks. Discover the Flymm’s Cargo warehouse and break in, although be careful for the 4 Wargs standing guard when you’re via the doorways. Now, use the hatch hidden underneath the packing containers within the northwest nook of the room to climb right down to the basement.
Preserve going straight on then take a left flip when it seems, and you will find your self within the submarine dock. Say a fast phrase or two to Redhammer the Deviser by the hatchway and he’ll conform to take you to the Iron Throne. Upon docking on the jail, Gortash will ship you a message threatening to blow it up in the event you do not go away, which ends up in your present predicament of getting out as many hostages as you’ll be able to earlier than issues go increase.
How you can rescue Duke Ravengard
Whenever you arrive within the Iron Throne jail, you may have six turns to free as many prisoners as you’ll be able to and get again to the dock earlier than the entire thing explodes. Whereas saving Gondian prisoners is necessary, Duke Ravengard is the true precedence, since rescuing Wyll’s father helps you to proceed his quest within the Wyrmway. Climbing down the ladder into the principle jail, you may need to head east towards the three cells on the finish of the hall. I used Shadowheart for this with a few minions to maintain the Sahaguin enemies occupied. Duke Ravengard is within the central cell, which will be opened utilizing the lever subsequent to the door.
Now, in the event you selected to free Wyll from his contract in alternate for his father’s life, Mizora will present up and attempt to kill the duke as quickly as he exits, summoning some explosive spiders. I used Shadowheart to solid Sanctuary on him, after which Dimension Door to teleport previous the spiders for security. Get him onboard the submarine and he’ll be secure.
How you can assist the Gondians

The trickiest a part of the Iron Throne is saving the Gondian prisoners locked in cells all through the jail, and getting them again to the dock earlier than these six turns are over. There are a couple of ideas that may enable you deal with this, although:
- Use spells to maneuver shortly: Whether or not it is Misty Step, Dimension Door, and even simply Fly, the faster you get to the prisoners and allow them to out, the sooner they’re going to sprint again to the submarine and security. Gale will be fairly invaluable right here since his Arcane Restoration will let him solid an additional Dimension Door, as will the Markoheskhir Legendary workers in the event you’ve received it.
- Carry minions: The Sahaguin enemies will maintain spawning periodically, so it is higher to maintain them occupied as a substitute of making an attempt to kill all of them. Minions are an important methodology of distracting enemies. I used the Danse Macabre capacity you get from the Necromancy of Thay, which helps you to summon six ghouls who can probably paralyse enemies with their assaults.
- Don’t fret about companion deaths: There are a good few invaluable objects to seize within the Iron Throne, together with a Thoughts Flayer Parasite, so make sure to ship a personality off to loot the whole lot. It is unlikely they’re going to make it again to the sub in time, however you’ll be able to simply revive them with Withers afterwards. Crucial factor is that your most important character is on the submarine when your time is up. Should you’re trying to find treasure chests, your most important port of name ought to be sending a personality north, then west down the hall, plus south after which west down that hall.
- Save Omeluum—in the event you can: You could have met this Thoughts Flayer within the Underdark, but it surely appears a bit inconsistent as as to whether he really exhibits up as a prisoner on the Iron Throne. If he is there, you may discover him within the room on to the southwest with the working chair, subsequent to the flooded hall. Sadly, this makes him the toughest character within the jail to rescue, since he is so distant, but when considered one of your characters is looting that space already, it should not be too arduous to free him. Omeluum additionally has a spell that lets him teleport again to the submarine with one different character.
The Gondian Hostages are marked as aims on the minimap, so are simple to search out. Apart from the hostages within the central room with you, the 2 most important concentrations are to the south and the west, whereas Duke Ravenguard is to the east with another hostages. The excellent news—although not for the hostages—is that you just solely must rescue a couple of to persuade the Gondian’s within the Metal Watch Foundry to stand up, letting you proceed the search to destroy it, and get to Gortash with ease.
