Even if Wyll does not sign the contract with Mizora, Duke Ravengard can still be found alive. The party can either stumble upon him randomly while exploring the Lower City, or by completing Disable the Steel Watch, [[Save the Gondians]], or [[Avenge the Ironhands]].
 
After the previous events, Duke Ravengard is moved to the [[Iron Throne]], either alive or dead. The party may find the Iron Throne either by exploring the Lower City, or be guided there as part of the quests [[Disable the Steel Watch]], [[Save the Gondians]], or [[Avenge the Ironhands]].

Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. He is in the middle cell, and has only 35 HP. He will also have the Fiendish Obeisance status, unless the player simply did not recruit Wyll. Upon opening the door to his cell, the party gains control over the Duke's movements. However, once he leaves the cell, if Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, then she appears and summons multiple [[Combustion Belly Spiderling|Combustion Belly Spiderlings]] to kill the duke. She orders him to kneel while the spiderlings explode on their turn. The Duke can be saved by healing him while he is in his cell (via [[Healing Word]], throwing healing potions, or other tactics) or through spells like [[Arcane Gate]].

Under some circumstances, the duke is found already dead. After escaping the Iron Throne, the party may be able to make a deal with Mizora to resurrect the duke in exchange for renewing Wyll's pact, or reject the deal in order to break his pact. The availability of this option may depend on Wyll's status and earlier choices.


If Duke Ravengard is saved, he stays at camp under the protection of the [[Astral Prism]]. If Wyll was recruited, the pair can reconcile, and Ravengard asks the party to seek out [[Ansur]], Baldur's Gate's guardian dragon who sleeps under the city.
