I just recently did this fight and had to go through the cutscene at least six or seven times until I perfected my preparation and found the right approach to trigger the fight and survive the first round of combat. I was deeply annoyed by this cutscene by then, but "Because those contraptions could turn us into paste" always made me laugh and made it worth replaying the scene. Thanks to this video I can now hear him say it again and again and slowly die of laughter 😄
Haha, Thanks! You know that you can NOT fight him here. You can wait and fight him upstairs where there are less guards and much less steel watchers and they come in waves. BUT if it is your choosing to fight him downstairs, then I am happy to help 😅🤷♀😊
@@resonatinglo Yes, I know about the office fight, haven't tried it yet though. My character is more the type for "I don't make deals with tyrants" and rather fights them head on. She was even more convinced that fighting Gortash in the throne room is a good idea than Karlach was. It may have cost 13h of my life, a lot of consumables and Ravengard's life, but it was worth it. In retrospect Astarion's worries about the contraptions were in vain because I safely Dimension Door'd him around them.
@@lynn0407sd Haha, nice. At this point I also fight him downstairs, but because I have played so much of the game and know how to be careful and avoid big dmg. And still sometimes you need to reload. Anyway, we should play as we like, or roleplay it, indeed
I'm not an expert on the game or anything but, I tried to do the same thing as you, and I couldn't beat the fight. Then when I Googled it, it said that you are technically "not supposed to be able to beat the fight," like it's possible but they wanted to make it difficult enough that it's not really possible? And they did that on purpose because it's a little bit game breaky if you do win - even if you managed to not kill Duke Ravengard, there are bugs where he is dead anyway no matter what. So there are kind of like bugs and weird story things associated with defeating Gortash at this point, I think implying that you are not really "supposed to."
@@Allison_Hart Yes, that's true. If you want to safe Ravengard, fighting Gortash at the coronation is definitely not recommended. And as you said, other quest lines become a bit weird. The supposed way seems to be to strike a deal with him, then deal with the Steel Watch and then have an easier fight, but haven't tried that yet. That you aren't supposed to fight him there and that it's a very tough fight was basically an invitation for me to try it 😂 If you want to beat him there, you definitely need a good strategy and lots of consumables. I burned about 8 smokepowder arrows, various health potions, two elixirs of bloodlust, scrolls of Globe of Invulnerability + Sunbeam + Dimension Door, a number of speed potions and some other arrows. It also took a lot of reloads because at one point they kept breaking Shadowheart's concentration on Beacon of Hope. It was worth it for the challenge, not so much for the storyline, but yeah, going in blind is definitely suicide.
