== Encounters ==
== Encounters ==
This section is a list of specific combat encounters where this character gets added into the initiative, and any specific differences about how ''this character'' can behave in each combat encounter.  
===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 {{cond|Shell of Resistance}} cast on him by a nearby force curtain, and will throw {{RarityItem|Reflectoguard}}s at himself and {{RarityItem|Phase Optimizer}}s 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, {{RarityItem|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 Impeller]]s and [[Incineration Caster]]s 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 Curtain]]s are malfunctioning and can debuff Gortash with {{cond|Malfunctioning Shell of Resistance}} to reduce his defenses.
 
Once per fight Gortash can cast {{SAI|Invoke the Black Hand}}, giving him 150 temporary hit points, Advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, an extra {{DamageText|1d4|Physical}} damage to weapon attacks, and [[Immune|Immunity]] to {{DamageType|Thunder}}, {{DamageType|Fire}}, and {{DamageType|Force}} damage. He will also gain the ability to use {{SAI|Tyrant's Bindings}}, {{SAI|Empowered Unarmed Strike}}, and {{SAI|The Closed Fist of Bane}}. 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 {{SAI|Grant Flight}}, {{SAI|Feather Fall}}, or {{SAI|Misty Step}}, or by simply using the climbable vines on the western side of the building.


===Get Gortash's Netherstone - Wyrm's Rock Fortress (Office)===
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{{Bug}}.  
This encounter is triggered during Act Three if Gortash has become hostile. Inside Gortash's office, a number of appliances are attached to the walls that are added into the initiative order as entities that affect the early part of the fight.


Two of these entity types apply Conditions to Gortash while he is standing in range:
== Bugs ==
* "Micromodron Force Curtain" applies the condition {{Cond|Shell of Resistance}} to Gortash.
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.
* "Deranged Force Curtain" applies the condition {{Cond|Malfunctioning Shell of Resistance}} to Gortash.
