Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion What happens if Gortash is defeated on the first encounter?

I just did this on tact by entering the path behind the main chamber, i climbed up and then used arane lock to lock one of the only two doors, then set a fire wall and dark cloud up on the other entrance then i would disarm the steel watch as they came into the room i was holding off and then kept the steel watch stuck in the door way and was able to feed them in only a few at a time, i killed everyone and everything this way, it took two tries and lots of healing potions but it worked.
