How To Kill Lord Gortash During His Ceremony Without Triggering Any Traps Or Disabling His Watchers

Here is an easy way of dealing with this version of the boss fight, utilizing a seemingly useless item from Act 2. I don't believe you're meant to kill him in this room without completing the quests associated with his Steel Watchers, but I finally found a scenario that made the Signed Trade Visa item feel worth using.

How fitting for a tyrant king to be defeated by being turned to gold

If you want get the the achievement later on in the game just hoard 6 invisibility pots to sneak your way past everyone in turn based mode, put about 15-20 different bombs into a bag, drop the bag next to Gortash, shoot it with an arrow, and watch the fireworks.

The good ol' 'the DM gave us about 50 smokepowder barrels across the whole campaign and by the gods I will fucking use ALL OF THEM on ONE GUY' strat. I used that one on Raphael. Forgot to bring all my barrels with me the second time, though - only got away with 12 plus a few assorted random bombs I was carrying.

The easiest method is telling your Str character to use Gortash as an improvised weapon, let your character carry him to the furthest away place and quicktravel to rivington asap while gortash is still being carried. Now Gortash is next to the Rivington Portal with you without being aggroed so you can prepare everything and one turn kill him.

I did this without knowing the achievement existed on my first playthrough. I had a bard/thief hand crossbow build, I had wyll as a bardlock, and both karlach and laezel with great weapon master. I hasted everyone because I knew I wanted to kill him for Karlach's sake and we one turn KO'd him on tactician. Mind you that this was after the coronation, when he asks you to join forces. I wanted to before, but I did not want to kill Wyll's old man.

@hythunza1811 9 ай бұрын

I honestly just went ahead and lured him into the back rooms behind the audience hall, and then jumped him. You can do so by shooting out an arrow; gortash and the duke will investigate it, and the duke will leave before gortash does, giving your party time to go jump him while nobody is looking. No items or spells needed for this, just jump to the spot next to the bridge.

@blind6745 9 ай бұрын

when I killed him the majority of his party members were dead (I was in the later half of the game where Gortash orders his followers to execute nearly everyone in the castle for some reason) and I tried sitting on the balcony on the side where the vines are and had one party member go and detonate an explosive barrel near the steel watch, and when I did it hit one of Gortash's followers (all the steel watch were still alive) and then caused only his followers to attack me, but none of the steel watch cared so I essentially fought them separately. I fought his followers first, long rested, went back and then fought the steel watch and it was significantly easier having to kill them separately. then i killed gortash upstairs and it was also easy because he only had like 1/10 of his followers there from when i first met him

I did this achievement, just go to the balcony on the bottom right of the room and pull one of the guards nearby, and bottleneck the entire armada of watchers and guards at the door with boxes, then they'll trickle out to the balcony one by one, and you can kill them off. And when Gortash finally arrives, just hammer him to death. But this is quite fun. Easy peasy.

I went to this video to figure out a more passive way. I accidentally triggered aggro on everyone and gortash followed me out one side of the castle. Since i have a dragonborn fight with athletics and the raven queen neckless i jumped back up to him after running and threw him off the cliff to his death...

I went and did IronThrone + SteelFoundry before the coronation, because i thought i could deny him the "crown" if i didn't trigger the ceremony. Managed to bug Wyll's quest as it kept saying to participate to the ceremony. Saved everyone from the Iron Throne, but wyll's father wasn't there, as the trigger did not yet happen... but he wasn't with Gortash either. Killed Gortash on top of the fort in his room, and wyll's quest still says to participate to the ceremony... Oh well... maybe next time Wyll :D Is there a way to stop the ceremony without bugging Wyll's quest?

@Rystefn 8 ай бұрын

I tried the same thing. In my version, Wyll's dad also wasn't in the Iron Throne, but instead of bugging the quest and still talking about the ceremony, it bugged the quest and said I killed him.

Just to unlock the achievement because you'll fuck up your game badly. Say goodbye to gondians, Duke Ravengard and a bunch of quests just disappearing because almost everything changes with Gortash dead.

@Spook_is_Back 11 ай бұрын

You can wait to do the achievement. But if you want to skip the quests associated with the Steel Foundry/Iron Throne to kill Gortash at this moment, lets say even for RP purposes, this would be a way to do it. Also you can revive Duke Ravengard at a later point, and the point of no return for the other quests in Act 3 comes after killing both Gortash and Orin, so even if you decide to do this you aren't bricking your playthrough at all. I still had the options to complete everything outside the Steel Foundry/Iron Throne when I did this.

@KorhalKk 11 ай бұрын

@Spook_is_Back But some other minor quests breaks/bugs or it just completes without rewards. Sometimes npcs won't trigger dialogue. Its a fine line between intended content and bugged content. I don't know the state of the game right now, but I'd advise not to kill Gortash first. Do everything you have to do related to Gortash before killing him.

Yes but Wyll's dad dies and everyone in the Iron Throne goes with him. Also the Elder Brain takes over the Steel Watch after he's gone. It's best to kill him when the story sets up to kill him, but it's not the worst way to get things done. I'm sure you can still try to take out the Steel Watch Foundry afterwards and not having Wyll's dad isn't the worst thing, it depends on what players want in their story.

The Steel Foundry and Iron Throne Prison will be destroyed immediately. The elder brain controls the steel watchers after Gortash is killed, and talking to one reveals that the brain destroyed the Steel Foundry themselves upon taking control. You can still revive Wyll's father with Mizora, but doing so results in Wyll keeping his pact.
