Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Spoiler - Flaming fist and Waukeen's rest

This is one of the quests with a timer.
One timer starts when you enter the area. If you rest before saving the people in the building they will die.
Another timer starts when you enter the burning building. The fire will spread and people in the building (including you) will die if you are too slow.

This is how I did it yesterday without problems:
- Save the game before entering the area, just in case something goes wrong
- Walk into the yard but do not go close to the soldiers at the gate. Move the camera around to see the positions of 2 people in the building. (upper floor)
- Unchain your group and enter turn based mode. Turn based is importent because you have to move several chars indipendently while a timer is running.
- One char will rescue the man, one char will rescue the woman, two chars wait at the gate.
- Both rescue teams jump on the upper floor and move to their target, smashing blocked doors along the way. The two chars in the yard wait.
- The rescue team for the man will save him from under the wood pillar, then follow him until he reaches a corpse and he stays there, now he is safe.
- The rescue team for the woman will talk to her, then smash all obstacles between her and the front entrance, where the other chars are waiting.
- Once the woman starts moving to the entrance, the other two chars talk to the soldiers and open the gate. (Two chars so you have two chances for the str check to open the doors, else you have to smash the doors.)
- Once the woman has reached the entrance (cut scene) and the man has reached the corpse, both are saved and this part of the quest is over.
