Iron Throne
The Iron Throne is a underwater prison located in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate in Act Three. It can only be accessed by a Submersible from the basement of Flymm Cargo.
Area Information
The prison is made up of a central area with four tunnels leading off in each cardinal direction. Each tunnel has Double Glasshouse Doors at the end, which can be closed by using a lever inside the tunnel next to the door. Each tunnel also has a pair of heat detectors. Destroying either one will close the doors at both ends of the tunnel.
There are eight locked cells throughout the prison, each locked by a Glasshouse Door which can opened and closed by pulling a nearby lever, or lockpicked with a Sleight of Hand check (DC 21-25).

Notes
- The levers in this area can be flipped with ranged attacks.
- Sahuagin confronted with a closed door will often stop to try to break it down, which is usually futile as they cannot do enough damage in a single normal hit to overcome the doors' Sturdy condition. Closing some of the doors to the central area can thus effectively neutralize them, though this may make it impossible to rescue anyone still on the other side.
- Any character that died either during the escape or because of the structural failures will wash up on the small beach south of Old Garlow's Place.
