I’m kinda curious I’m on my third playthrough and I usually just free the guys daughter and a few of the ones in the main room (I’m lazy) and now I’m wondering on what other people do
How many of the Gondians do you usually save?
SpoilerAct 3 - SpoilersIron Throne, I’ll get them all.
Factory, fuck those idiots.
Exactly this. Everyone in the Throne is saveable. The ones in the factory are near suicidal.
All of them.
I look at the iron throne as a kind of puzzle mini game. How efficiently can I release them all then kill everything so they can escape.
In the factory, if they're standing in the aoe of the exploding robots I start pushing and tossing those little fellas all over the place.
Usually?
All but one. One will be just stupid enough to not get away from a robot in time.
Sometimes. All of them.
I’m my last few runs were honor mode. So save scumming was out of the question
Bruh like all of them died, and I tried to save them 😭
Not sure why you replied to me. Mine isn't even a video
Idk either. Does it matter really?
"The Gondians are responsible for every fucked up thing in Baldur's Gate, and they all deserve to die. The mind flayers are probably here to meet them. Save a Gondian? I'd rather eat this Runepowder bomb I made. Instead of the hassle of saving them save us all by detonating this bomb in their factory."

Fuck wulbren bongle!
tbh I prioritise Omeluum and the Duke, but so far I've managed to save all but one or two I think? It's a fun puzzle until you're on the 4th try.
The Duke takes up so many damn resources, last time it took me two people to clear his way and he still died a few feet away from the ladder. But then I don't prep my team before we go down, maybe I should bring a scroll of Dimension Door.
All that you need to do for the Duke is cast Sanctuary on same turn that you open his cell door. That's it.
That sounds perfect, though Shadowheart is always busy getting Omeluum because she's the only one in my team who can make that trip on her own.
I usually send Lae’Zel and Us after Omeluum. Lae’Zel+haste+action surge+misty step+long strider is just a beast. She is teleporting back with Omeluum after two turns.
Us can run interference against any Sahuagin that get in the way.
Pre-cast fly. Dimension door, misty steps, arrow of teleportation. I just spam them all!
On 2 of my runs I missed a couple in the Iron Throne and didn't feel like redoing the entire mission to change it once I learned that they couldn't even be asked to help Karlach. I saved them all only once and it felt quite pointless tbh. Not gonna bother again.
Frankly I much prefer to side with Gortash and skip both iron throne and the foundry. The only downside of it that i care about is Barcus not getting to boot Wulbren.
Convinced the first group in the factory to take off the collars since it seemed like an impossible meant to fail sort of thing when i went downstairs
However many don’t kill themselves
They finally improved the AI, the Gondians are smarter now and actually teleport *away* from the exploding robots, so it's easier to save them all.
