Once inside, run after the Fire Fist recruits to the second floor. You'll see them standing by a broken and blocked door - just attack it until it breaks. Advisor Florrick will run out of the cleared gap. Get out of the shelter through the main entrance, after which a dialogue will begin. During the conversation, agree to further search for the Duke, but there will be few clues. According to Florrick, the drow took Ravengard somewhere to the west.

Where to find the Grand Duke of Ravengard
Duke Ravengard will meet travelers in iron throne. Required attend the ceremony, otherwise the Duke cannot be saved.
After the coronation, talk to Mizora standing near the throne room of the fortress. She will offer to discuss the details of Will's contract at the camp. Return to camp and make a choice that will affect the further development of events:
- Break the contract with Mizora. In this case, the Duke can still be saved, but it will be more difficult, because Mizora will not provide information about his location and will try to stop the travelers during the rescue operation.
- Don't break the contract. Mizora will tell you where to look for the Duke, but will still hinder the process of rescuing him from the Iron Throne.
Regardless of the choice, Will's father can be saved.
How to get to the Iron Throne Prison
Travel to the Lower Town and go to Flimm's Cargoes. All the doors to the building are locked, so you will have to open one of the locks:
- Front door [KS - 20].
- Door on the second floor balcony [KS - 15], where you can jump from the roof of Flimm's Cargo.
Once inside, fight the local guards. After killing the animals, find a hatch in the building leading to the basements.
The cellars of Flimm's Cargo can be reached alternative way, through the Lower City sewers using a greasy and smelly lift.
In the basements, go to the underground dock with the submersible and talk to the inventor named Red Hammer. Use intimidation or deception in dialogue [KS - 15], to dispel suspicion of illegal entry into the territory. Next, select replicas:
- “This is the first time I’ve heard about this Iron Throne.”
- "I need the Iron Throne."
- The last remark will be intimidation, deception or persuasion [KS - 15]. Choose any option so that Red Hammer agrees to give you a ride to the prison. As an alternative, you can offer the inventor a bribe of 1000 gold.
Having successfully completed the checks, go to the hatch of the underwater ship and go straight to the prison where Will's father is being held.

Get into the prison
While the heroes are diving towards the prison, Gortash will them and impolitely offer to return back. Don't listen to him and dock at the Iron Throne. As soon as the heroes step inside, the self-destruct mechanism is activated. The following will be given for ing:

When the prisoners are released, they will the general turn queue and will automatically try to get to the stairs leading to the underwater ship.

I came to the prison before visiting the plant, left it. Went to the plant, and returned to the prison to free the prisoners. The joke is that the girl told me not to forget to save Will's father, found this guide. What's the result? I had neither a father nor a corpse in the specified cell. I saved everyone, replayed 3 times to make sure, there is none and that's it.
I don't have this inventor written to study the basements and that's it
Have you completed all the previous stages of the quest?
I decided to kill everyone at the coronation for fun, and it so happened that one duke ran off to the side, and, having lost sight of me, did not enter the battle anymore, I left him like that, and when I came to the lower city, the prison had already been destroyed, but since the duke was not taken there, it means he was still in the coronation hall, I decided to go there for the sake of interest, but he was no longer there, he disappeared) Where he is now I do not know, but the quest with his rescue did not close))
Did Mizora show up after the coronation? Did she offer a contract? Did she say anything at all?
Why is it interesting that Ravengard is dead right away (They didn't even give me a chance to save him)
Where exactly was he found dead? In the Iron Throne? If so, was Mizora spoken to after the coronation, before visiting the Iron Throne? If not, then load up and talk to him, and only then proceed to the Iron Throne.
When I ed through for the first time, I accidentally came across this prison, the Duke was already dead there, the corpse was lying around. I kind of left it there. In the camp, Mizora offered a deal to resurrect him if Will would serve her.
Now I’m going through this for the second time, I didn’t go to this prison so as not to quarrel with the goon. Now Mizora in the camp is offering a deal to show where the prison is. But based on the information, he is trying to interfere here anyway. But it’s also written that if you refuse the deal, you can still save it. I already know where the prison is, I’ll go to the breach to do what.
the prison is where the docks are, in the lower part of the city.
you find a closed door near refugees or townspeople, I don’t . If you open it, they won't tell you anything.
There will be 4 wargs inside that need to be killed. you kill, and to the left of the entrance, under the boxes and a pile of garbage, there will be a hatch to the underground storage.
you go down, go straight, without turning anywhere to the right (towards the cells), just straight, all the way.
a left turn appears, there is nowhere else to go. and inside there is a submarine that will lead you to a flooded prison full of sahwajins.
You don’t care about them, don’t even waste much time. immediately divide the team into 3 parts and free the dudes who are imprisoned there.
voila, please!
I also recently started replaying it myself, for the first time my Ravengard was dead, and Will didn’t want to talk to me in the camp ((
