Encounters
Wyrm's Rock Fortress- (Audience Hall)
If the party chooses to attack Gortash during his coronation ceremony, they will face one of the most difficult fights in all of Baldur's Gate 3. Gortash is accompanied by Duke Ravengard, an army of Steel Watchers and Flaming Fist, and innumerable traps along the walls.
Gortash will begin combat with cast on him by a nearby force curtain, and will throw 
Reflectoguards at himself and Phase Optimizers at nearby Steel Watchers. This will give him immunity or resistance to most types of damage and make him very difficult to kill quickly, while turning all Steel Watchers into even more dangerous threats.
Gortash has +5 Initiative (+10 on Tactician and Honour modes) and all Steel Watchers have +6 Initiative, making them very likely to win initiative unless the party is using the Alert feat, 
Elixir of Vigilance, and/or equipment that increases initiative. Considering that there are 9 Steel Watchers in addition to Gortash, it is easily possible for an unprepared party to be killed in a single turn.
The traps along the walls can also be quite dangerous. Grenade Impellers and Incineration Casters fire projectiles that constantly force the party to move, while Micromodron Force Curtain will repeatedly grant Gortash many resistances and immunities. However the Deranged Force Curtains are malfunctioning and can debuff Gortash with to reduce his defenses.
Once per fight Gortash can cast 
, giving him 150 temporary hit points, Advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, an extra 1d4
Physical damage to weapon attacks, and Immunity to 
Thunder, 
Fire, and 
Force damage. He will also gain the ability to use 
, 
, and 
. This will make him significantly more durable and drastically increase his own damage.
Wyrm's Rock Fortress- (Gortash's Office)
If the party forgoes fighting him at his coronation, they can return to Gortash in his office later on. If the party agreed to his deal during Consider Gortash's Bargain and finished Get Orin's Netherstone then they can attempt to fulfill the bargain. If the party either destroyed the Foundry, travelled to the Iron Throne, or killed Gortash's parents at Flymm's Cobblers, he will become hostile to the party and begin combat.
This fight is significantly easier than the Coronation fight, especially if the player completed Disable the Steel Watch to take out the Steel Watchers. All information about Gortash's high initiative, conditional buffs from traps and Reflectoguards, and his spells and abilities remain the same.
After defeating Gortash in this location, the lower floors of Wyrm's Rock Fortress will become hostile to the party. However those floors can be bypassed by using 
, 
, or 
, or by simply using the climbable vines on the western side of the building.
Note that if the party returns to the lower floors of Wyrm's Rock after having destroyed the Foundry, the lower floors will already be hostile, and the party may find itself fighting their way up through the Audience Hall and its traps and guards in order to reach the top floor. This sometimes results in a bug[See: Bugs].
Bugs
Fighting in the Audience Hall after destroying the Foundry will sometimes trigger the enemies on the top floor to become involved in the combat. In this case Gortash and friends may make an appearance near the entrance to the Audience Hall (despite this not being the door to the location they are coming from). This can make the fight easier as Gortash is further from his most deadly traps, but can also make the fight difficult by adding an unexpected wave of additional enemies.
