Disable the Steel Watch

Disable the Steel Watch is a sub-quest of the quest Get Gortash's Netherstone in Chapter Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It can be started by speaking to Enver Gortash in the audience chamber above Wyrm's Rock Fortress.

Objectives

• Figure out how to disable the Steel Watch.
  • Gortash is protected by the Steel Watchers. We need to figure out how to disable the Steel Watch.
  • Orin told us not to underestimate Gortash's Steel Watch. She mentioned they come from the Lower City. We should find where they are made.
  • Wulbren, leader of the Ironhand Gnomes, wants to disrupt Gortash's tyrannical rule by taking down his Steel Watch. He's made a runepowder bomb that can blow up the Steel Watch Foundry.
  • Barcus pleaded with us not to use the runepowder bomb, saying it will kill the Gondians in the Steel Watch Foundry. He wants us to find a peaceful solution.
• Find the Steel Watch Foundry.
  • We have Wulbren's runepowder bomb, which can destroy the Steel Watch Foundry. The Foundry is in the Lower City, down by the docks.
  • We learned that the Steel Watchers are being assembled in the Steel Watch Foundry down by the Lower City docks.
• Find a way to destroy the Steel Watch Foundry.
  • We've reached the Steel Watch Foundry. Now we need to find a way to disable the Steel Watch.
  • We've reached the Steel Watch Foundry. Now to find the perfect place to use the runepowder bomb.
  • We found where the Steel Watchers are being assembled - the Steel Watch Foundry. If we destroy the Foundry, we'll severely weaken Gortash's hold on the city.
  • We met Zanner Toobin, one of the Gondians being forced to build the Steel Watch. He said if they don't comply, the Banites will kill both them and their families - who are being held hostage at a secret location. He'll help us destroy the Foundry if we find and rescue their families.
• Destroy the Steel Watch Foundry.
  • Zanner Toobin, one of the Gondians, agreed to help us destroy the Steel Watch Foundry. We have to guide him to the lower levels of the facility.
  • We learned the sequence to force the Foundry to self-destruct. We need to get to the Neurocitor, which lies in the lower levels of the facility.
  • Toobin died, and can no longer help us destroy the Foundry.
  • We reached the heart of the Steel Watch Foundry - the Neurocitor. If we use Wulbren's runepowder bomb on it, it should be enough to destroy the Foundry.
  • We no longer have Wulbren's runepowder bomb. We need to find another way to destroy the Foundry.
• The Steel Watch Foundry was destroyed. Every Steel Watcher in the city has now been disabled.
• We dealt with Gortash without disabling the Steel Watch.
