Gortash fight is scuffed

[Logi]

I take the room on kill them all and above 4 people including gortash take like 20mins each per turn to do NOTHING

Why are they even aggro when there a literal floor above me and my part its dumb af!

Not only this about 7 different game breaking bus with questlines broken combat constant crashes....like how is anyone singing larians praises right now when they cant even release a "feature complete" game yet claim they have!?

Features include no bugs/crashes and being able to bloody play the game with immersion included!

Having the same problem.

Agreed. This game is insanely broken in some places. People are so blinded by microtransactions they think a game that doesn't have them is suddenly GOTY. The rolls are terrible. Some of the fights are terrible. But it's not so much Larian's fault with the fights as it is 5e's fault: 5e is a garbage, garbage, garbage system when it comes to combat and Pathfinder is miles ahead of DnD when it comes to combat. Wizards just hasn't figured out the broken action economy thing and this game echoes a lot of those problems.

The story and writing is great the problem is doing a one-for-one 5e implementation into a video game. It doesn't work.

Exact same issue, the bug is caused by blowing up the factory before facing him, it completely ruined the entire quest.

You can still reach him! It's just wonky, not broken. You can go out the back door behind the throne room there's a set of busted ladders/scaffolding that you jump onto to get up to the level with Gortash and kill him.

I had the same problem as I apparently bugged the "coronation" by murdering all of the guards in the 'corridor', armoury and barracks areas before leaving to do the rest of the missions (to blow up the steel watchers because it's basically unwinnable without that).

i did this i also pushed gortash of the castle and i cant find the body to loot it . he fell under the drawbridge at south wyrm's crossing.i cant find so i cant obtain the 3rd netherstone and proceed. i already try fly, dimension door , telekinisis, jump with featherfall but nothing works. any ideas?i had way big fight with steel watchers etc. so i don't want to load back previous saves in order to proceed.also after a few rests i think its just a pouch and not a body. any solution?

cast greater invisibility on your rogue and you can kill gortash without fighting any of his guards, id just reload and do that.

just stand behind him and keep sneak attacking him, ez

The game is feature complete, stop overreacting
The enemies above aggro because they're apart of the fight, since you're now in the vicinity- The fortress is ofc now out to get you.
Whilst I agree this def could be handled better- It partially does have to do with them being on the 'same tile' as you so to speak and being literally like 20m above your character. Its not so much a bug, but how aggro functions and whatnot. If it proves to be a genuine issue, Larian will most likely fix it. Rather than immediately going into rage mode- How about just offering an actual constructive description of your problem in the future?

Lmao. This exact issue just got fixed by the Devs in Hotfix 4.

So clearly this wasn't an "over-reaction" and it was something Larian had to fix.

It is not how aggro works, it's just a buggy mess. The moment you destroy the Foundry the whole Keep bugs out and behaves totally abnormal. The moment you set foot in it and start the encounter it engages most of the first floor(but somehow not the Fists in the room with the mechant) while it also aggros the Fists and Bodyguards on the second floor despite them not having line of sight or any other mechanics that alerts them to your presence(i.e. War Drums, NPCs running upstairs to alert them, Horns etc.). The second floor cultists don't get aggroed unless you actually go to the floor. Additionally even if you eliminate every hostile in the bottom two floors and don't aggro the 3rd floor(which was a one of the bugs Hotfix 4 was supposed to fix) it still doesn't take you out of battle mode as it should.

So, despite hotfix #4 seemingly addressing the issue, I am currently experiencing it. Was I supposed to re-download hotfix #4 or something because of the rollback?

It's probably already triggered.

But as stated above, you can still go out the back of the throne room to the left and do jumps up the broken scaffold to get up to the next level to fight him.

So... I'm also in the same boat. I came in, fought the guards on the bridge, I feel like I was caught roping in the guys in the guard room, but then broke left, fought everyone in the room where all the attendants are, went up to the coronation room, killed probably more lords and ladies than I should have before I realized they were literally no threat, disarmed everything that showed up in the turn counter, killed Gortash and his top floor friends and... I'm stuck. I just keep getting a new grenade popping up even though all enemy combatants are gone, though maybe 60% of the nobles who show up as red (but not on the combat initiative counter) are still around. Do I need to murder-hobo the entire aristocracy of Baldur's Gate? Or should I just reload at the bridge?
