Line 59: Line 59:
Once the coronation is complete, [[Mizora]] appears and reveals that Duke Ravengard is already being moved to another location to be disposed of. She refuses to elaborate and tells the party to go to camp. After a Long Rest, Mizora appears before Wyll to present a new contract - an eternity of servitude for Zariel in exchange for rescuing the Duke. If Wyll signs the contract, she reveals that Duke Ravengard is in Gortash's underwater prison, the [[Iron Throne]] and promises to keep him from harm. Otherwise, if Wyll breaks the contract, Mizora states that he's as good as dead, but that she plans to stick around to see what happens.

If the party ignores the coronation and moves into the [[Lower City]], then Duke Ravengard remains in the Audience Hall with Gortash until the ceremony is completed. If the party completes the questline [[Disable the Steel Watch]] without attending the coronation, then the entirety of Wyrm's Rock Fortress becomes hostile, including Duke Ravengard. Note that clearing the [[Iron Throne]] causes the coronation attendants to become hostile, even if you don't fully complete [[Disable the Steel Watch]]. To ensure that the Duke can be rescued, it is advised to attend the coronation, speak to Mizora, and take a long rest to ensure that he can be found in his intended location.

==== The Iron Throne ====
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]], [[Avenge the Ironhands]], or [[Avenge the Drowned]].

Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. Normally, he is in the middle cell, alive, and with 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]].

The Duke is found dead if the party has yet to speak with Mizora and her witnesses Cirrus and Feena at camp. 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. If the party has killed Wyll, such as playing as an origin [[Karlach]] in their altercation during Act One, this detail is NOT shared with Ravengard when sharing your memory via [[The Emperor]].
