Rescue the Grand Duke, i need help

[Otacon97]

In my previous run i was able to both break Wyll's contract and save the Grand Duke from the Iron Throne. But today, instead, the quest completed itself stating: "Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, The Grand Duke is no longer our concern”. Did they actually make this ridiculous change or is just a bug? And if it is, how can it be fixed?

You can still rescue him, provided that you haven't done other things that result in e.g. everybody in the Iron Throne dying.

Was gortash already dead ?

[Otacon97]

You sure? Because last time the quest just uptated itself not completed. And i also got ambushed by Florrick, and this didn't happened also

You spoke to mizora after the coronation to get information about the duke ? With no infos the game probably assumed the duke is dead, you can still probably found him in the iron throne or have extra clues with mizora in camp.

yeah I also got "the duke is no longer our concern" after I explicitly broke the pact with Mizora. But i still went and saved him on the Irone Throne afterward with no problem. Shadowheart even said, "Duke Ravenguard is alive?!" when I reach his cell.

As long as you don't kill Gortash before you find out about the iron Throne (through "Avenge the drowned" or just wandering aorund/exploring) you should be fine.

Gonna tag this.


Mizora is lying, she knows Ravengard is still alive in the Iron Throne, (*) but wants Wyll to feel guilt over breaking the Pact so he will come running back to her. Or maybe he's still alive, but come back to contract my pet and we'll tell you what's up.

(*) in most game states.

The new thing post-patch 5 is I also run into FF accusing me of "killing" Ravengard, who I tell is of course still alive (granted that's meta knowledge), and they tell me they were put up to this by Mizora. Well, good to see you're listening to tips from devils, that's fine police work, there, mates.

[Sentient_Toaster]

Yup.

Mizora complicates the rescue, but it's still entirely doable and having done so will be recognized (e.g. directing you to the next stage of Wyll's companion quest, and follow-up dialogue with Mizora).

If you try and rescue Ravengard after Wyll broke Mizora's pact, she will appear when he comes out of his cell, and sic some exploding spiders on him. They are little threat to you, but be cautious, throw healing potions on him, and kill them when he's not nearby, as these exploding spiders will definitely kill him.

After all this drama, she just hangs out in your camp near Wyll and Ravengard, possibly offers to have sex with you, and is just annoying.

I've seen that in my journal too, where the game assumes the Duke is dead. I broke Wyll's contract and saved the Duke anyway, despite what the journal said.

Thank you mate. I'll proceed with the game then, to see if this is gonna work for me too

In my run, the Grand Duke died along side Gortash because he caught on fire. I even tried to hit him with non lethal the entire time too. But the game was like "That shouldn't have happened, maybe it's a trap or some nonsense" You see, I refused to let Gortash have his coronation. So I avoided the fort entirely and explored the lower city until I found out about deactivating the Steel Wardens. A few innocent dead gnomes later, I charged into the fort taking out EVERYONE then eventually Gortash and daddy.

Then Mizora outside the fort told us that "he's not quite dead" which left me confused. After that, she came by in camp and offered to bring him back from the dead in exchange for Wyll's eternal service which we refused. In the end, the dad stayed dead, Wyll became the sword of Avernus, and Mizora helped out at the final battle.

I was never able to find the Iron Throne.
