That fight at the Iron Throne tower *Spoilers*

[Sistalis]

This has to be one of the most frustrating/satisfing battle yet.

Just curious has anyone been able to get all the Gondian's out? I've replayed this battle 3 times. I'm at my best try I split my forces in 4, I've saved about 80% of the Gondians, the duke (Finally), my Tav just reached Omeluum ( I know he'll teleport away)

But I have some Gondians, who are free but won't make it I think until the timer runs out and Shadowheart is stuck fighting Sahaguin and won't be able to help the woman strapped to the chair...

I'm not sure if I'll try a 4th time as the results will be ok. But has anyone been able to save everybody?

There is youtube video with solo character. All hostages have been saved.

The first time I succeeded it was by doing the following:
- Getting Haste potions for everyone.
- Splitting up the party depending on movement speed (the fastest one went to where the furthest Gondians are, the slowest went to Omeluum, you get the idea).
- Rushing to free the Gondians.
- Never engaging the Sahaguin unless I had a free action AFTER getting as much movement as possible to free the Gondians.
- Throwing Haste potions and spore pods at the Gondians (they'll make it before they become Lethargic, in my experience).
- Sanctuary is critical to ensuring some Gondians survive.
- Close the doors behind you when the Gondians leave. It's mathematically impossible for the fish things to break through them.

Since then I just put it on Easy, because ain't nobody got time for this ♥♥♥♥.

It took me 6 attempts but i finally managed to.

Before going in i summoned 4 Minor water elementals via scroll, my Tav got Wyll, SH and Karlach in their group.

SH and Karlach went to save the duke, SH teleportet him out of the room into the main area.
my elementals took care of the enemies, blocking and killing when necessary. Note: Water elementals are extremely effective here, because of all the water they can freeze.
Tav and Wyll sought to omelum and freed some prisoners on the way. After sh was done with the Duke, I turned my attention to the remaining wing, freeing them.
meanwhile, karlach goes to free those in the main area and two of the elementals take care of the spiders. while the two remaining block the access from omelums area.
then the rolls of the prisoners just need to work out and you get to flee on the last turn.

That was oddly satisfying to watch... But I'm Tadpole abstenant so I think a few of the tricks done in the video won't apply to me.

But I might try a 4th time, (AnnielsOk mentionned) with the help of summons and I saw in that other tread people saying you can open the lever doors with Arrows...

Quad sorcery with misty step, haste and a bunch of offensive spells in our wizard pouch. Zero issues, but wasn't able to rescue that unconscious woman cuz she is stupid and got proned on ice. Could restart and rescue them all and I guess loot everything, but why. Man, misty step with distant spell really shines here.

I'm sure some players have succeeded, but I haven't. On my first (and only) attempt at this quest, I saved the Duke and a few Gondians, that's all. The woman sitting in the chair looked doomed, so I didn't save her. I didn't want to reload and try again, because... sometimes, even as heroes, we can't save everyone. And I was happy with what I did here. :)

Yeah, it was added in patch 4 for this fight.
