Steel Watcher

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. Steel Watchers are characterized by their imposing size and ability to self-destruct. They almost exclusively appear in the city of Baldur's Gate. Three types of Steel Watchers are represented in the game:

• Steel Watcher
• Hellfire Watcher
• Steel Watcher Titan

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