    The outcome was a bit disappointing. I haven't found any explanation why exactly is the Duke dead, so it feels a bit like an artificial plot device so Mizora has a reason to come to your camp and ask for Wyll's soul.
    I tried different save states, but Duke was always dead.
    In the end, if you want to have a chance to save both Ravengards, you need to wait for Mizora to come to your camp, refuse her and only then go to the Iron Throne.

      I think the general consensus would be that Mizora outplays you and whilst you are travelling down in the submersible, goes to the throne and kills Ravengard just so she can then make the offer to Wyll to bring him back in exchange for Wyll's continued servitude

    • @BeautifulImperfction

      You can actually save both. I did in my first playthrough. You just have to be quick. Take Mizoras pact offer (to kill Wyll's father) then go to the submersible (make sure you have not yet destroyed the steel watch foundry). When you get the the submersible's destination, send a character with sanctuary (like Shadowheart) to Duke Ravenguard's cell as fast as possible and cast sanctuary on him. Get him back to the submersible as fast as possible.
      Both the Duke and Mizora will be at your camp. She pouts about how you outwitted her but makes no attempt to kill him for the rest of the game.

    Honestly: I think Mizora has a stronger hand if the Duke is already dead. "Resurrect him" is a stronger argument than "I will protect him", because with the protection scenario, by refusing you at least gives the player hope of saving him while not needing Mizora's help. But the resurrection angle is clearer and gives the player no hope of resolving it by themselves.

    • @Beredaman08
      @Beredaman08 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      Agreed. It's a bit awkward in how it gets to that point with him dead, but as a deal it feels like the kind of deal you'd expect in this situation, and the kind of deal Wyll would actually look at making. "I can protect him, just sign over your soul" is kind of light as far as bargains go, to be honest...and the whole reason he's got the pact with Mizora was being put in a situation where he was saving all of Baldurs Gate.
      "He's dead, but I will bring him back if you sign over your soul for good" on the other hand? Now puts him in a real position of having to make a compelling decision.
      I kind of think that the "I will protect him" option should have been her setting up that we owe her a favor to be claimed in the future (not sure what would work here to make it so you aren't necessarily cool with taking the favor deal every time), and if you turn that down because you don't want to owe a devil anything then he can end up dead (with other conditions connecting to whether he is dead or not, so you have agency in that outcome if you don't take the deal, but tricky to pull off if you don't know the exact steps needed). Then, if found dead, Wyll is given the option to bring him back at the cost of his soul.

    @nuclearchezburgr3857 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +41

    I'm gonna theory craft an explanation here that might help rectify this.
    The Duke is dead upon arriving at the Iron Throne. Mizora is a warlock patron, who surely has more warlocks in her employ - especially ones who would more dubious and loyal than sweetheart Wyll. Lets assume she assigns one of her stronger warlocks to teleport into the Iron Throne (assuming the prison isnt lead-lined to prevent magic), and assassinate the imprisoned duke. That contract is completed and the Duke's death marks his soul for no resurrection.
    Then, when Mizora offers the resurrection, she explains that "an extraordinary death by an otherworldly creature prevents a typical resurrection, pet. You'd be surprised by the power of the Absolute". She wouldn't be lying - its just two unrelated sentences to make it seem like the Absolute killed the Duke. But, another contract would supercede the death mark provided by the first contract.
    The fact that resurrection is so readily in Forgotten Realms causes issues for the stories of CRPGs because its hard to keep a handle on, so you'd have to add some BS like this to suppress it.

      I'm guessing that getting to the duke would involve some risk even for her, so she wouldn't attempt it unless she really needs to. If you're getting close to the duke before she offers the deal, she's at risk of losing her bargaining chip and thus she has incentive to intervene. But if the bargain has been made and Wyll chose to free himself, she's content to let the chips fall where they may because it seems unlikely that the duke will be found, and even if he is found, he probably won't survive the rescue attempt. Plus, she no longer has a vested interest in the outcome.

    • @DaDude2011

      So what I get out of my experience is that by breaking contract and showing Mizora Wyll can take matters into his own hands - he’s finally outgrown her and is no longer the desperate “pup” that she always called him. She makes this pretty clear to you once you outsmart her by breaking contract and saving Duke Ravenguard anyways.
      After this the interesting bit is that she wants to stay if you allow her which I took as her wanting to find another way to have influence in your party. If we can all recall from the first meeting with Mizora she admits she takes interest in you. I took this as she’s loosing interest in Wyll and looking for others to begin a contract with.

Your cat for your soul. Your breakfast for your soul" and destroy all those until. Wyll is going to sign?

Also the video AND the game makes it VERY CLEAR how important Ulder is to Baldur's Gate.

    Plot enforced inability to use, in world AND gameplay accessible, means to do something clearly doable is literally the worst thing you can find in all video game RPGs.
    And this specific case even reenforsed by letting you prevent Mizora from killing Ravenguard persanaly later if you refuse her deal.
    Its a masssive problem that stems from how great BG3 is:
    By letting players have numeros options for almost all situation, game make it so that when there is obviouse solution to the issue that you canot inact because devs just didnt do it this particular time, it is so much more visible and grading. And yes, i know that, if they did let players to just ressurect Duke on their own, they would have to let players ressurect literaly every NPC, wich would be simply unfisable to develop ALL the variables that would bring.

      It was even worse in previous games such as Neverwinter Nights, where you ran around with countless scrolls of Raise Dead and Resurrection, yet could only use them on PCs and companions. Here at least the only options you have is Revivify, which originally only worked on people very recently dead, favors from the avatar of a prior God of Death, and an incredibly hard-to-obtain item that I'm actually surprised they've left in the game. But yeah, it's still frustrating.

      I do wish they'd kept the time limit for revivify that the table top game has, that way you could easily hand wave it as "it's been too long". Then Withers as a mechanic is basically letting a handful of people come back after that time, because of his own goals, to revive any party members you don't make it with.

    Cordula is actually the backup character to confront Wyll if his father is not saved. Its supposed to be Counsellor Florrick who you can have met in acts 1 and 2. But that's only if you complete the side quest to rescue her in act 3. I didn't know this until I think my second or third playthrough and discovered this part of the story.
    Cordula's last name is Eltan, which may mean she is descended from Duke Eltan who created the Flaming Fist (he's in the first Baldur's Gate game).

    That was an incredibly annoying discovery for myself, first playthrough I thought going straight to Gortash was an endgame thing that would prevent me from exploring the city as I assaulted their ruler as well as wanting to take out the Steel Watch as I assumed they would be hard to fight alongside Gortash, so I left that for later and after many hours of doing virtually every other quest (including the iron throne where I somehow didn't even see Ravenguard's body) I finally go back to the palace with Gortash and find Mizora and Wyll talking about his dead father (this was the first time it was ever mentioned by Wyll or any other character) and all the palace is immediately hostile. I have no way of going back to before the iron throne and frankly I wouldn't want to undo all the hours of progress.

    As disappointing as I'm sure this scenario is, you have to admit it's impressive that Larian thought about all the little details. They considered what would happen if you went to the Iron Throne first, and they considered what would happen if you saved Wyll and then tried to save Ravenguard. As much as that feels like "Well, of course they did", that's something most modern games don't do, and I love that there is still a way to indisputably win, even if it's a bit out of the way
    That being said, it still would've been great if Mizora ambushed you while trying to save Ravenguard, and then either teleported him away or killed him. Even if it was a scripted loss, where there's no way to stop her, directly seeing her involved as you try to get ahead of her would have been incredibly awesome and had a level of horror to it that feels appropriate for crossing a devil in a D&D setting

      Reviving Karlach would null the reward because she's not dead at the time of reward, sort of like putting in an air conditioner into someone's window, taking it out, and then demanding payment. That window has no AC, you didn't fulfill your end of the bargain.
      As for Minthara, Larian DIDN'T want to add this, but the playerbase kept finding more and more convoluted ways to bypass the check (seriously, look it up. One method was polymorphing her into a sheep and then fast traveling to Act 2) they probably got tired of both fixing the exploits, getting bug reports from people who modded her in, as well as people outright demanding it, so they caved and added it in almost half a year later.

    Have you tried using Speak with Dead on the Duke? Ask him who killed him? Maybe he justs says it was random guard, but maybe be confirms Mizoras involvment

      Yes I tried. You can't ask about that.
      You can ask where Florick is, how he got captured, and if he knows how to defeat the Absolute.
      Options 2 and 3 lead to him talking about the Wyrm.

    I was so disappointed about that. I tried to squeeze out every piece of exp before I got to act 3 so I could have all I could to make the fight easier. I sprinted to the iron throne and then.... dead

    This scene happened for me when I was Level 12 and had (very easily) killed Raphael. I really wish the game took that into account and my character could take her aside, talk quietly with her with Wyll craning his neck to try and hear while Mizora swallows audibly and glances back over her shoulder at him, then we both return to the group and Mizora's like, "Oh, I just remembered, you've completed 10 tasks for me, so your, ahem (nervous glance to me as I crack a knuckle) devil pact punchcard grants you a free father resurrection! No strings attached! (fidgets with collar) Well, I uh... nice to be of service, I have to go away now."

    its a weird failsafe so the deal cutscene/story beat can still happen. Its a lot like how Yenna will always be in your camp whether you accept her into it or not. Oddly enough, i also have a really weird, very specific Duke Ravengard Perishes Story: Husband and i were playing co op and wanted the Fancy Footwork Cheevo, so we set up this crazy elaborate oil/smokepowder/firewine maze behind Gortash's Ceremony Room n start the boss fight right then n there, but unfortunately this meant Ravengard was there. we made extra double sure that he survived the fire maze and that we had Passive Attacks ON. but when my husband smacked him, Mr Duke spontaneously combusted. EACH MEMBER of the party commented on it basically each saying "wtf?! That wasnt an unaliving blow! this must be a trick of the Absolute, surely?!" But Husband and I knew: it was a really really weird failsafe to ensure that the bargain can still happen: Mizora exploded him so she'd have a chip later. We defeat Gortash, get teh cheevo....and then i remember that i was romancing Wyll, so naturally he broke up with me on the grounds that i blew up his dad. BUT. in the dialog with him, there is NO OPTION to explain it wasnt us, it was Mizora. Which kinda irked me. Ultimately Husband and i decided to *not* scum save the fight, so i spent the rest of that playthru alone and annoyed...but! in the party epilogue, if you have no romance partner, Jaheira will offer to make you a Harper, so that was nice :)

    Can you resurrect the duke in the prison, perhaps with the scroll of true resurrection

    @andrew2677 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This has to be a bug of some sort. You absolutely can save the Duke in the Iron Throne. However once you do, Mizora will show up and summon exploding spiders to try and kill him.

    • @GamingBirch
      @GamingBirch  5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, but that is if you let Mizora come with the offer before you go to the Iron Throne.

    In my first playthrough
    I had Wyll sign the deal
    But the next thing I did was destroy the Steel Watch factory, not realizing that doing so would result in the Iron Throne being purged
    So Wyll gave up his soul for nothing lol

    I tried this too, was hoping to get a step ahead of her but seems devs saw through this. The Duke will always be killed if Mizora doesnt visit the camp to make a new deal.

    That is astonishing. I literally skipped the Gortash meeting just because I wanted to experiment with what happens if I don't have Mizora sit around in my camp at all. And now you're telling me that I have to put up with her anyway just so my favorite character's dad doesn't die? Fucking really?!

    • @GamingBirch
      @GamingBirch  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am not sure what exactly happens if you skip the meeting. I read that in that case, *_SPOILER_*
      Ravengard is not in the Iron Throne, but instead stays at the ceremony, until you decide to deal with Gortash.

    Does anyone else find it hillarious that Wyll has to sell his soul to resurect his dad while Withers over there can do that for chump change?
