I just finished saving Duke Ravenguard and the first thing he did was complain about his son. Dude is kind of an ass. Is it too late to put him back in the prison? I kinda wish I hadn’t saved him.

Huh, I read about this mission before hand and was expecting it to be very difficult. Reading about it doesn’t really give you a clear picture of what you’re going to encounter, but it does let you know that you only have 6 turns to get everyone out. I had everyone drink speed potions as soon as their turns started. The Duke wasn’t an issue at all. The spiders popped up and exploded, bringing his health down, but the spiders never got a round two. Astarion can attack I think 7 times in one round with speed potion, and I think 11 times if he uses action surge. He hits hard too. So I had Astarion run over and end those spiders. He killed all of them in 1 turn. I suppose a well placed fireball or other AOE could do the trick too. Once the spiders are dead then it’s just a quick dash to the sub and the Duke is safe. The biggest challenge is making sure you don’t get restrained by one of the Naga or whatever those things are. The second biggest is making sure that you send people down each of the correct 3 corridors. Send extra people to the corridor that is flooding since you will have extra NPC enemies pop up there. If you take Wyll and have an earth elemental summoned, you can leave it there and all of the enemies will pound on that thing while you make your way to safety.
This is not a good strat for that part. Send your longest distance runner down there on turn one. Make sure they have a bow. Free the chair lady first and shoot the lever to free the other. Then go to the door and wait just outside. Once those two get past the door you can just close the door using the outside door lever and you don’t have to deal with those Sahuagin at all. They can’t get through the door. You only have to spend one turn and one person in there. Those sahuagin are menaces on tactician which is why I just lock them up.
Oh, nice! I didn’t realize you can close the door. Isn’t there two levers to pull in that room? Did you miss a prison cell door? I can’t recall off-hand. I guess just use this strategy and check if there’s an extra door lever. I also didn’t realize that you can just shoot the levers. That’s brilliant.
Technically omeluum the mind flayer from the underdark is back there too if you did his quests but he can teleport.
But no there is just the lady in the chair and the dwarf lady (maybe halfling) locked in a cell in that room. There are two door levers to close the doors but they are one for each door. One is just outside the room with the respawning sahuagin and the other is on the opposite end of that corridor. You can’t really use that one to lock them out though since you’d be on the wrong side of the door.
I love optimizing my route through the iron throne. I’ve done it like 8 or 9 times now. If you have flying it makes the entire place a joke. Basically fly to everyone turn one, free everyone turn two, and escape on turn three.
