Any way to kill goblin leaders without angering the whole goblin camp?

[Alex_x86]

Basically the title. Or maybe there is a way to sneak out without facing a huge horde of them next to entrance? My party (Wyll, Shadowheart and Gale) was all level 4 and basically made barely alive most credit to my gyth barbarian that was throwing enemies left and right... Kinda not sure how other classes would make alive out of it.

Not that I'm aware of. You can get rid of Priestess Gut and Minthara somewhat stealthily, but if there's a way to kill theHobgoblin without making the entire camp immediately hostile I never found it.

It's weird, because the game "talks" to you as if that should be possible, but still...

You need to one-shot them from stealth without being discovered. This is very difficult to do.

Yeah i would also want to know, that`s why i access Underdark shrine first, then proceed on killing Hobgoblin

At the very least goblins should disperse, because it is the whole point of your actions. But currently they just stay at their camp hostile to you.

Priestess Gut can be killed quickly in her study, but I bungled that last time - it was a horrible drawn out killing. Basically went on a bloodthirsty killing spree.

Minthara and advisor can be eliminated by stealth, or you can stealthily destroy the nearby bridge as she walks over it while the goblins are all looking ahead.

I had already agreed to 'help' her war party, so I found her and her raiders in the corridor having not left yet. Cloud of daggers and Shatter, voila no more war party.

Dror Ragzlin is harder. I suppose you could Minor image his followers together and Cloud of Daggers them. He's vulnerable to yeeting into a nearby chasm when on his throne, so perhaps use an arrow of darkness or Fog cloud next to him so his followers don't notice?

I was oneshoting Dror Ragzlin with a crit from magical longbow with wyvern poison. It was funny. i guess you can technically repeat that shot from stealth

Ok, but did this make the goblin camp non aggro?

A well aimed eldritch bolt can yeet Dror into the nearby chasm (though you won't get any items that way). Personally I just climb onto the rafters in his room, and just kill everyone from up there.

Nah i guess it is sort of automatic. Was just talking about the possibility of killing him from stealth.
You can kill the other two leaders without aggroing the rest of the camp, but once their chieftain is killed the whole camp turns hostile somehow regardless.

Hmm... So looks like not really good way :( My biggest issue was dealing with the crowd that was outside: huge crowd with ogr and warlock (or two)... Fortunately for whatever reason they all really hated Wyll and knocked him out even before my turn started, I healed him few times using Shadowheart and goblins were immediately knocking him again while my barbarian was slaughtering all the goblins and Gale was sniping others.

However the most interesting part of all this is that goblin that kept Volo in the cage were still friendly and I was able to force her to give me the key to Volo's cage so I wonder if there is a bug somewhere in all this logic or a really silly rpg element?

[Harukage]

TBH if you have trouble with goblins outside, you can talk 3 ogres in the village to help you atacking them. It takes some serious checks, but it is possible.

[Tuco]

Guys, the original question was if you can kill the leaders without alerting the whole camp, by the way.

NOT "how to kill the leaders efficiently".

And as far as I know, no, you can't really kill the Hobgoblin without making the entire camp AUTOMATICALLY hostile.

[Adamenski]

just go deeper into the camp till you reach the underdark and theres a warp portal you can use

[ziyal-]

Gut and Minthara you can kill easily without alerting the rest, just make sure to destroy the wardrum near Minthara first. If you kill Ragzlin, the rest of the gobbos will turn hostile.

iron flask plus the ogre horn, then pull everything in the castle at once lol
