Iron Throne Prison: Save All Prisoners (Gondians, Grand Duke, Omeluum) | Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3)

Can you kill gortash and still go down here to save everyone

Damn I bombed the factory and totally missed out on all this. Also led to a ton of bugs. I read that this is skipped and bugged out when you kill Gortash at the ceremony as well

How on earth did you get 8 turns I only got 5

omeluum isn’t sitting in the chair in my game? but he still talked to me telling me where duke ravengard was and such

Mines glitched😢 they don’t run on their turn

why did I some how get just 6 rounds to start with?

I only had 6 turns, but i used speed-potions and Astarion cause he had double sprint

You can teleport with him yesss.

This is easy mode.
Because on tactician you only get 5 round.
I don’t know if it’s actually possible, but I’m on my 1st playthrough. I was able to get Ravengard, but not the mind flayed.
Got to him un locked him out of the chair but couldn’t get him out.
Admittedly, I didn’t long rest so there’s that too.
Thanks for the guide and nice job with all the other content you’ve made also.

Yeah I would not recommend doing this on Tactician. Nearly got everyone out with 2 turns left and then one of the Gondians decided to end his turn standing right in front of the ladder, blocking everyone else from leaving. >.<

I had only 6 turns... why?

Would shooting an arrow at the lever not work? haven't tried it on this mission but theoretically it should work no?

How do you have 8 turns??? I have 6

This was painful to watch. Felt like you were deciding what to eat at a restaurant and deciding on a bar of soap.

How did he start with 7+ turns? Mine is set to 6?

question will the steel guardian be hostile to you? or gortash just think you blow up?

xddd i was lockpicking this all doors

why i only have 6 turns bro

I absolutely F***ING DESPISE the Iron Throne Prison. I HATE being timed for any quest.

Don't use fire damage against wet enemies...
The best you can do is to grab some "summon elemental" scrols and get some water elentals to do frost damage to them wile the team rescues the civilians.
Also rush to get the mindflier, he can instantly teleport people to the ship.

so i save ravenguard...and when i try to find him later i get the Quest journal the : Grand Duke Ravenguard has died....wtf?

How do you get 8 turns. I only get 6.

so you have 8 turns ???? i only have 4

You can find those two in the under dark at the mushroom colony

BRO who tf is Omeluum ??!!! can't believe I missed that

How did you save them like what is the strategy

Bg3 iron throne commentary

How do u have 8 turns? I have 6

how come you got 8 turns?? i only get 5!!

Eight turns?! Damn. I had to do this in 5 turns.

Man, so I had tried this several times, and in the end I manage to save everyone but that one gnomes daughter. So I thought, hey, good enough, lets move on. Then, when I tell the truth to the gnome, he's angry, I get that, but he and all the other gnomes attack me! I mean I know your mad, but come on, realistically what were the chances of you ever seeing your loved ones again? And you'd have to know that the chances of surviving a fight with my crew is a bad idea. So, that happened.

Why I nly have 6 turns??

I gave Astarion an Invisibility Potion and made him sneak past everyone into the Steel Watcher Foundrys Cellar to blow the whole thing up. Well, after that all those Quest Lines ended with only a note at the basement saying that the ship took off bc reasons. Too bad, this looks fun.

To me Omeluum couldnt use any spell because it was under a flower effect

Haste Helm/Springstep Boots/Fleetfingers: At the start of the Iron Throne this helmet increases movement by 4.5m, and stacks with the elk buff from a raging wildheart barbarian for 6m, upon dashing this increases to 10.5m. If the character is wood elf or wood half-elf  (Varanna Sunblossom) their movement is 21m, 24m while carrying a transmuter's stone before any other buffs. Once per turn the Fleetfingers allow you to jump after dashing without using a bonus action.

Omeluum is such a wholesome guy, I just can't leave him behind lol

After I saved everyone and talk to Ogro Nettles outside, he says "if only my Gladiola was free too" I went back to my save to see I forgot anyone in the Prison, but I cant find her. Did I miss her or is he talking about something else??

why i only have 5 turn ?

Like 2 hours doing this, gosh everyone kept dying xd

This PISSED me off…I had everyone saved it was the last turn only a few had to climb the ladder including ravenguard… but my main party turns came before half the prisoners and ravenguards so I climbed them up coz I legit COULD NOT WAIT ANOTHER TURN and had them get in the sub…pop up came up saying I couldn’t come back me thinking it just meant once they got in they couldn’t get out…nope just instantly sailed away how fucking dumb why would they make it so once you get in it ends despite other turns being left?????

Some of the NPCs you rescue will bug out either because: 1) someone decides to stop at the bottom of the ladder so no one can climb up, 2) someone decides to stop at the top of the ladder so no one can climb up, 3) someone decides to crowd around the portal (from arcane gate), esp. uncontrollable summons like ghouls who can't actually activate the portal but tries for it anyway, causing the NPCs to also not be able to use the portals and sit there confused, 4) decides to just sit there because all the NPCs actually move once, and sometimes the game get confused because it thinks another NPC is in the way when that NPC goes before and wouldn't be, and 5) randomly freezing up for no reason when there are too many NPCs going at once and the game can't take it.

Very frustrating.

You can fix 1 and 2 by shoving them. You can fix 3 by not using uncontrollable minions or moving through portals yourself which drags all those minions with you, or killing mobs that crowd portals. You can sometimes fix 4 and 5 by reloading, but rarely will it work.

Oh, and any NPCs that have a turn after your last turn will automatically be considered dead, even if they are inches away from getting into the ship, because the combat "ends" there. Just to make it even more annoying, and they're likely going to have lower initiatives since they have a +0 to dex.

Actual recommendations:
* Mage hands to pull levers. You can have multiple (one from each character).
* Arcane gate to set up a quick access. Doing it to the right as you descend the ladder is helpful, since there are 6 NPCs there (the Gondians).
* Dimension door allows you to bring a friend.
* Misty steps cost a bonus action and it's great.
* Fly is great, especially to get around water which is difficult terrain (2x movement required).
* Haste allows you to move faster and have an extra action. This can also just be a potion.
* Almost all of these can come from scrolls if you don't have spell slots, especially Wyll if you keep him as a Warlock.
* You can precast things before going down from the ship. You are only here for 6 turns anyway, and most buffs are 10 turns, so losing 1-2 turns casting another buff doesn't matter.
* Enemies are almost always wet in this level, so you can deal double damage with lightning and cold. Glyph of Warding becomes helpful.

To anyone wondering, you can use fly to get into omeluum’s room. From there he can teleport you both out

How does he start with 8 turns i only get 6

WHY DO YOU HAVE 8 TURN?

This is so weird, I only got 6 rounds, not 8..

The ladder on the way back up doesnt work for me? It says no entry.

This is the type of quest that made me hate Baldurs gate, I hope there is a special place in hell for the developer that added that sound that runs through that quest it drives me up the wall.

the lamest quest in the game, its stupid that you can shoot every level in the game except in this mission

isn't Omeluum totally screwed anyways when the Netherbrain attacks the city? as soon as the Netherbrain uses its full psychic ability he'd become its thrall
