How to Prepare for the Iron Throne Prison Escape in Baldur's Gate 3

Before attempting to escape the Iron Throne, it's essential to prepare your party. This involves bringing a variety of helpful potions and ensuring that every member of your party has certain spells ready. Here are some recommended potions and spells to bring:

• Speed Exilirs, which unlock a second action and increase movement speed
• Elixirs of haste or movement-increasing spells like Haste, Misty Step, and Dimension Door
• Scrolls, such as Misty Step, Dimension Door, or a way to increase speed
• Teleportation spells or abilities, such as Dimension Door or Misty Step

Additionally, make sure to create a quick save before entering the prison and another one inside the facility before making your first turn. This will allow you to immediately restart the encounter if things go south or restart to grab additional supplies if needed.

How to Get to the Iron Throne in BG3

To get to the Iron Throne, follow these steps:

1. Head to Flymm Cargo, located in the Lower City beside the Counting House, closest to the Grey Harbor Docks waypoint.
2. Enter the building by lockpicking one of its side doors.
3. Inside Flymm Cargo, dispatch a handful of Wargs and look for a hidden Basement hatch on the floor covered up by several small crates.
4. The Basement hatch is located in the northwest corner of the building (X:-163, Y:-143), immediately left when entering from Flymm Cargo's western entrance.
5. Once inside the basement, head forward to find a submersible and a friendly dwarf named Redhammer the Deviser guarding it.
6. Convince Redhammer to pilot you down to the Iron Throne, or kill him and use the Submersible Hatch to take control of the submersible yourself.

The Best Way to Escape Iron Throne Prison in Baldur's Gate 3

When you begin the Iron Throne encounter, you and your party have six turns to grab everyone you can (eight turns on easier difficulty and four turns on Tactical difficulty). Here's a step-by-step guide on how to escape the Iron Throne:

First Turn in the Iron Throne

Split up your party to cover as much ground as possible. Send one character to the left, one to the right, and two down to the south side of the prison. Make sure one of the characters going to the south veers to the left and enters the back corner, where they can find Omeluum, who has a very helpful ability.

Second Turn in the Iron Throne

Create a protective path for the prisoners by making your way to the cell doors and attempting to get them open. The goal is to protect the prisoners and get the doors open as quickly as possible.

Third Turn in the Iron Throne

Get everyone back to the center by having your party members make their way down to the center area and protect as many people as possible with ranged or melee attacks. They should also open all the doors in the inner area, releasing the prisoners.

Final Turn in the Iron Throne

Get everyone on the submarine by having Omeluum teleport the prisoners to the submarine. Make sure to have a party member on the second floor, leading out of the prison, to ensure they make it to the submarine and survive the mission.

Iron Throne Tips

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when escaping the Iron Throne:

• Sahuagin will increasingly spawn each turn; ignore them when possible, but make sure to create a safe passage for prisoners to escape.
• Use Elixirs and movement-increasing spells like Haste, Misty Step, and Dimension Door to speed up the process.
• If a party member dies, leave them behind; they can be revived by Withers later.
• There's decent loot in the Iron Throne, including a tadpole specimen near Omeluum and an Infernal Iron below the submersible.
• You don't need to save all the Gondians to advance the Save the Gondians quest; only Obelia Toobin needs to survive.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to successfully escape the Iron Throne in Baldur's Gate 3 with every prisoner.
