'''Steel Watchers''' are a non-playable [[List_of_Creature_Types#Constructs|Construct]] [[race]] in [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. Steel Watchers are characterized by their imposing size and ability to self-destruct. They almost exclusively appear in the city of [[Baldur's Gate]]. Three types of Steel Watchers are represented in the game:  
{{SpoilerWarning}}
*[[Steel Watcher (creature)|Steel Watcher]]
== About Steel Watchers ==
{{quote|The operations of these huge steel juggernauts are powered by engines of churning hellfire. }}
Created by [[Enver Gortash]] to serve him, Steel Watchers uphold the law in the city of Baldur's Gate. Steel Watchers are formidable foes with large amounts of health and multiple [[Resistance|Resistances]].
 
If the player fully explores the [[Steel Watch Foundry]] they discover that the Watchers are not fully mechanical; rather, they are hybrids of technology and necromancy. Each unit is built around a zombie whose brain has been removed, infected with a [[Mind Flayer Tadpole]], and preserved in vats at the Foundry, where Banite cultists can use them to remotely control the corresponding Watcher.
 
With the exception of [[Steel Watcher Titan]], Steel Watchers will gain the condition {{cond|Detonation Impending!}} when their hit points are low. This is caused by the passive feature [[Failsafe Protocol]]. The explosion will deal {{DamageText|4d12+26|Fire}} damage in an area around the Watcher. This attack ignores [[resistance]] and [[immunity]] to Fire damage. Target will still take half damage on a successful {{SavingThrow|DEX}}.
 
If the player defeats Gortash without dealing with the Foundry and hasn't defeated [[Orin]] yet, the Steel Watchers will be taken over by the [[Netherbrain]] who will make them ignore the party and not assist the [[Flaming Fist]] in combat, in order to aid the party in defeating Orin. On top of that, the Netherbrain will blow up the Foundry and the [[Iron Throne]]. Once the player also defeats Orin, however, the Netherbrain will turn on the player and all the Steel Watchers will be hostile to the party, which will drag the Flaming Fist into combat as well.

* [[Steel Watcher (creature)|Steel Watcher]]

* [[Hellfire Watcher]]
* [[Steel Watcher Titan]]
* {{Blur|[[Steel Watcher Titan]]}}
 
With the exception of {{Blur|[[Steel Watcher Titan]]}}, Steel Watchers will gain the condition ''Detonation Impending!'' when they are close to {{DamageText|0|Healing}}. This is caused by the passive feature [[Failsafe Protocol]].
