Steel Watcher

A Steel Watcher in Baldur's Gate 3

This page is for the Steel Watcher race. For the creature, see Steel Watcher (creature).

Steel Watchers are a non-playable Construct race in Baldur's Gate 3. They are known for their imposing size. They almost exclusively appear in Baldur's Gate.

With the exception of Steel Watch Titan, when Steel Watchers are close to 0hit points they will gain the condition Detonation Impending! This is caused by the passive feature Failsafe Protocol.
