News tip Game of Thrones Baldur’s Gate 3: How to save the prison hostages?
In BG3, you will obviously have the main quest which will keep you busy for a while, but you also have the possibility of doing quite a few side quests, including the one which consists of rescuing the hostages from the prison after having accessed the Throne of iron from act 3.
Summary
- How to access the Iron Throne?
- How to free the hostages?
- Mistakes not to make to save the Iron Throne hostages
To access this side quest, you will need to be in Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate III and have been asked to go to the Guardian Manufacturing Plant with a bomb to detonate it. Once there, It’s better to be discreet to avoid getting into trouble.
Once you’re back inside, you’re going to want to reach the door that’s in the upper right. The simplest thing is to send a single character, as discreet as possible, which will prevent you from being spotted by people present in the factory.
The other really bad idea is to use the freight elevator. Yes, it’s faster, but it is also the best way to be immediately spotted. At the bottom of the stairs you will then find a book, “Submarine Maintenance”, read it. Then exit the factory and go into the sewers.
There, go to the point that we have indicated to you on the map below. There you will find a wall that you can climb and which will take you to the dock of a submarine. Go talk to Masserouge who is next to the latter. Don’t kill him and instead convince him to take you to the Game of Thrones underwater prison.
Before you start, stock up on items, especially potions of haste, and take a long rest to have all your spells, because it is now a question of speed to save the hostages. Once near the prison, Gortash is not very happy and tells you that he will blow up the prison rather than let you free the hostages.
You will then have 6 turns to collect them and get back into the ship. Once arrived, start by using the spells and potions that allow you to go faster. Then split into three groups so that each takes one of the corridors with prisoners.
Don’t stop for the chests, you don’t have time. Also eliminate the Shiagis as quickly as possible who can throw immobilizing nets at you. If you are caught in one of them, a fire or slashing attack can free you.
Also watch out for the Grand Duke who, once freed, comes under your control. Use your healer to keep him alive. Be careful because if you have decided to sacrifice him to Mizora, the latter appears with explosive spiders. It is possible to get out of this, but it won’t be easy. Then rush with everyone to the ship. Be careful because all your characters must be there by turn 6 to be able to evacuate!
Mistakes not to make to save the Iron Throne hostages
Let’s end this article by giving you the two things you must not do under any circumstances if you ever want to save the prisoners of the Iron Throne. The first mistake would be to destroy the guard factory as we suggest. As you saw before, this will prevent you from going to the prison.
The other mistake would be to kill Gortash. You could say that this would solve a lot of problems. Except that if you ever end his life before freeing the prisoners, The Iron Throne will simply be destroyed and it will be impossible for you to get there.
