After entering the cave, a gnome greets the party, stating the boss hasn't forgotten what they did for him at Moonrise Towers. Wulbren {{Coords|-258|-1084}} can be found in the southwestern room, along with [[Barcus Wroot|Barcus]], if he survived. Wulbren states that the city has gone to hell and that the [[Gondian]]s are responsible for it. They created the [[Steel Watcher|Steel Watchers]] who are guarding the city. Refusing to go along with Wulbren's plan earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Keeping Your Hands Clean''' ([[Folk Hero]] background). Afterwards, you can speak to Wulbren again to accept the plan and receive the {{ItemIcon|name=Runepowder Bomb|size=20|show_name=1|show_rarity=1}}. | After entering the cave, a gnome greets the party, stating the boss hasn't forgotten what they did for him at Moonrise Towers.

There are multiple ways into the Foundry - including lockpicking (DC 20) the iron gates {{coords|-234|-181}}, entering a vent in [[Wild Shape]] form {{coords|-246|-126}}, or flying onto the roof and jumping down from an open hatch {{coords|-295|-135}}. | ||
There are two Steel Watchers guarding the front entrance - one which patrols the front and western side of the building, and another which stays on the western side near the loading dock. The Steel Watcher patrolling the front can easily be avoided by lockpicking the front gate and door while the Watcher is on the western side. | There are two Steel Watchers guarding the front entrance - one which patrols the front and western side of the building, and another which stays on the western side near the loading dock.

Once the Foundry has been entered, a cutscene plays, revealing that the Gondians are being forced to work by Banite cultists, under threat of explosive collars and their families being murdered. If the party approaches, the Banites move to attack the cultists and bid the Gondians to aid them.

In order to get to the console to disable the Steel Watch and destroy the Foundry, the party must defeat the [[Steel Watch Titan]], a level 12 enemy, and three level 11 [[Hellfire Watcher|Hellfire Watchers]]. These must be dealt with to gain access to the Neurociter which controls the Foundry. The Titan will drop the legendary longbow {{ItemIcon|name=Gontr Mael|size=20|show_name=1|show_rarity=1}}. After the fight, the party can use the code gained from Zanner or plant the Runepowder Bomb. | In order to get to the console to disable the Steel Watch and destroy the Foundry, the party must defeat the [[Steel Watch Titan]], a level 12 enemy, and three level 11 [[Hellfire Watcher|Hellfire Watchers]].

The Ironhand Gnomes appear once the Foundry explodes to confront any surviving Gondians and congratulate the party. Wulbren states that any Gondians must be killed, as they are a threat to Baldur's Gate. If Barcus is alive, he interjects that the Gondians are no threat and that Wulbren has been a negative influence on the Ironhands. | The Ironhand Gnomes appear once the Foundry explodes to confront any surviving Gondians and congratulate the party.

If none of the hostages were saved from the Iron Throne, Wulbren points out the dead bodies floating in the harbour. If the party had previously told Zanner that they survived, he and the Gondians become hostile and attack the party automatically. | If none of the hostages were saved from the Iron Throne, Wulbren points out the dead bodies floating in the harbour.
