One way to weaken him is by destroying them. The party can learn more about the Steel Watch by speaking to [[Wulbren Bongle|Wulbren]] and embarking on [[Avenge the Ironhands]], or simply by exploring the [[Lower City]]. | ||

Once the Foundry has been entered, a cutscene plays, revealing that the [[Gondian|Gondians]] are being forced to work by Banite cultists, under threat of explosive collars and their families being murdered.

If either the Intimidation of Persuasion options are chosen and passed, the Gondians help the party. Otherwise, they are too scared to fight against the Banites and remain hostile until Black Gauntlet Tamia Holzt is defeated. Upon her death, the [[Motivator]] she carries begins to activate and can be deactivated with an Intellect roll (DC 5). After the battle, the Gondians begin to panic and state that their families are being kept hostage. | |||
In order to gain more information, the party must go into the Security Office. The key can be looted off of Tamia Holzt's body, or lockpicked (DC 15). Only one Gondian is inside - Zanner Toobin, who immediately recognizes the party as intruders. He explains more about the Gondian's families being held hostage and beg the party to rescue his daughter. If the party agrees, he will help shut the place down. Unfortunately, Zanner is not sure where the family members are being held and suggests going deeper into the Foundry to find more information. | In order to gain more information, the party must go into the Security Office.

Save the Gondians and Avenge the Ironhands do not need to be undertaken to finish Disable the Steel Watch. If the party fails to disable the Motivator and the Gondians die, the party can delve deeper into the Foundry and plant the runepowder bomb. If the runepowder bomb was not taken, Zanner's body can be spoken to with [[Speak with Dead]] and he provides the code to destroy the Foundry. Otherwise, the party can choose to forsake the Gondians and plant the bomb, killing them in the process. | Save the Gondians and Avenge the Ironhands do not need to be undertaken to finish Disable the Steel Watch.

Alternatively, if Zanner's corpse can not be spoken to (for example, because it was destroyed by an elemental spell), you can find journal where it is stated that the code is the true name of Gond. To find it, go to the small surgery area in the large foundry area before the room with the Steel Watch Titan and search the bookcases - there'll be a book called The Many Faces of Gond, which will tell you the true name. If you go to Camp, then Zanner will stay there until you ask him to join you again. | |||
Going deep within the Foundry, the party needs to sneak or fight their way to the Control Centre Antechamber on the western side of the facility. This leads to a hallway filled with Steel Watcher brains, and the control room beyond. | Going deep within the Foundry, the party needs to sneak or fight their way to the Control Centre Antechamber on the western side of the facility.

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. 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]].
