Ironhands gnome quest issue

[YourMoms#1Fan ❤]

Im way past the point where i get halted by the steel-watcher at the south checkpoint but when it happened, the gnomes didn’t come to save me at all, and the cave that they’re located in is closed off. Did i miss something or was i too late? I don’t exactly have the save anymore so how am i going to get rid of the steel watchers without that bomb im hearing about? They dont appear at all in the area for me.

There is another way to destroy it without talking to the ironhand gnomes. You have to go to the steel watch foundry and listen in on their conversation. Then kill the guards. Dont attack the gondians!

After that talk to the gondian with a blindfold that is up the stairs on some machinery. He will ask you to save their families by going to the iron throne (you can also go there first). Then go to the temple near the foundry with the huge mermaid statue and talk to umberlee and say that you will avenge their storm sister. Then go to the docks and talk to some fishermen cleaning their boat. From there just follow the quest and go to the iron throne, rescuing the families. Then the Gondian with the blindfold will help you destroy the foundry

Its the only other way to destroy the foundry, i dont know if its also bugged though... i am not in that point of the story yet with my new playthrough

its just another general method to destroy the foundry i could think of if there is no way to talk to the gnomes
