Act 3: Iron Throne
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- We will head underwater to avenge the Water Queen! Go back to the warehouse on the docks where we killed those wolves. There will be a hatch in the corner you can go down. I would use the restoration fountain or be mostly rested before heading to the Iron Throne.
- Cast twin haste before interacting with the sub. You will go from conversation to sub to fight. My Lae'zel usually goes after Astarion and MC, so since we want to hit the ground running, be prepared. Follow the path in the basement and you'll find your way to a dwarf by a submarine. Talk to him and convince him to take you to the Iron Throne. On the trip there, Gortash will try to stop you, just tell him off and keep going.
- Once you get down there, it's a timed battle. The main goal is to rescue as many prisoners as we can. To do that, we need to open their cages ASAP, so they have as much time to run as possible. Keep in mind, you can shoot the switches with ranged weapons from afar to open their cages to save some movement.
- Send MC bard east to open those cages
- Send Astarion west for those cages
- Shadowheart and Lae'zel can mostly hang out at the ladder and kill fish
- Usually Astarion can get back and go to the south room faster than them
- Don't forget to open the cages in the main room, Shadowheart and Lae'zel can do that
- As long as 1 of your characters escapes on the sub you're fine, so don't get too worried
- Omeluum and Duke Ravengard are down here too, but meh, get them if you can
- If someone died, go to Heapside Strand waypoint. You'll find their body on the beach where we fought the original fish guys. Otherwise, I think Withers can just rez them. Actually just went to check the beach, you must only wash up there in a multiplayer game.
- I was about 75% of the way to 12 after this. The next area should hopefully do the trick.
