Iron Throne

Walkthrough

The area in the order you play it. Tick things off as you go: they tick off in the checklists below too.

1. 1

   Docking and the Central Hub

   When you climb down the submersible ladder into the central antechamber, turn-based mode engages immediately under a strict timer (8 turns on Explorer, 6 on Balanced, 5 on Tactician or Honour Mode). Pull the wall levers flanking the central chamber to open the two adjacent holding cells and release Obelia Toobin and her fellow Gondian captives. If Omeluum is imprisoned here, it contacts you telepathically at once, urging you to prioritize Duke Ravengard.

   Key fight: The Iron Throne Evacuation

   Tip: Shoot door levers with arrows or damage cantrips to pop cells open from across the room without wasting movement.

   Watch out: Do not waste entire actions lockpicking cell doors, as every cell has an external lever that opens it instantly.

2. 2

   Securing the West Wing

   Dash down the western corridor where Sahuagin guards patrol outside two holding cells packed with up to six Gondian prisoners. Flip the levers outside both chambers, clear any intervening raiders, and keep the main corridor clear so the unarmed hostages can sprint freely toward the central ladder.

   Key fight: The Iron Throne Evacuation

   Tip: Drop area-denial spells or summons near the corridor entrance to bottleneck pursuers while the hostages dash away.

   Watch out: Gondians have low health and will not fight back, making them easy prey if Sahuagin manage to throw nets or intercept their retreat.

3. 3

   Evacuating Duke Ravengard in the East Wing

   Sprint east into the cellblock guarded by Sahuagin and a Sahuagin Champion to reach Duke Ulder Ravengard's cell. Pull the wall lever to free him; if Wyll broke his pact, Mizora materializes the moment Ravengard steps into the hall, forcing him to his knees and summoning six exploding Combustive Belly Spiderlings. Immediately heal the Duke, cast Sanctuary, or use Dimension Door to extract him before the spiderlings detonate.

   Key fight: The Iron Throne Evacuation

   Tip: Pre-casting Death Ward or throwing a high-tier healing potion at Duke Ravengard before he steps into the hallway keeps him alive through Mizora's ambush.

   Watch out: If Duke Ravengard dies during this escape, Wyll's father is permanently dead and his personal questline is severely cut short.

4. 4

   Rescuing the Southern Wing and Omeluum

   Send a mobile operative south to use the Help action on Santoria strapped to the central examination table, then push southwest into the flooded laboratory where Omeluum is restrained. Use the Help action to unbuckle Omeluum, then grab the Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen sitting on the nearby desk. Activate Omeluum's unique Teleport to Submersible ability to instantly warp both Omeluum and your rescuer directly up into the submarine cockpit.

   Key fight: The Iron Throne Evacuation
   Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen: Resting on an operating table in the southwest room where Omeluum is restrained (X: -45, Y: 17) Don't missOmeluum's Backpack: in the southwest laboratory wing, on a cupboard beside Omeluum's operating chair New

   Tip: Omeluum's teleport ability costs no spell slots and takes along an adjacent ally, making whoever reaches him instantly safe.

   Watch out: Omeluum cannot be freed by a lever; you must manually reach the operating chair and spend an action to untie it.

5. 5

   Scavenging the Northwest Corridor

   Direct a fast character north through the flooded corridors toward the secure storage rooms before your turns run out. Locate the locked Opulent Chest sitting in the water at (X: -48, Y: 98), pick the lock to loot the High Security Vault nº6 Key and the Supreme Elixir of Arcane Cultivation, then double back toward the hub.

   Key fight: The Iron Throne Evacuation
   High Security Vault nº6 Key: Found inside an Opulent Chest located in the northwest corridor of the prison (X: -48, Y: 98) Don't missSupreme Elixir of Arcane Cultivation: from the central hub, follow the northwest flooded corridor to the locked Opulent Chest at (X: -48, Y: 98)How: lockpick the Opulent ChestMissable because: permanently destroyed when the Iron Throne implodes upon timer expiration Don't miss New

   Tip: Use haste, dashes, or teleportation spells like Misty Step to cover the flooded northwest wing without falling behind schedule.

   Watch out: If you linger too long looting chests here, rising water and incoming Sahuagin reinforcements will cut off your retreat back to the central shaft.

6. 6

   Final Evacuation to the Submersible

   Guide all surviving party members and escaping prisoners up the ladder into the submersible before the turn counter hits zero. As each Gondian prisoner reaches the ladder, their portrait disappears from the turn tracker to indicate they are safely aboard. Ensure at least one party member climbs up into the cockpit before the facility implodes to secure the escape.

   Key fight: The Iron Throne Evacuation

   Tip: Any companion left behind when the timer expires can be revived back at camp by Withers, provided at least one character safely boards the sub.

   Watch out: Letting the turn counter reach zero with no party members inside the submersible results in a total party wipe and instant game over.

What you decide here and what it leads to.
