Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General New “bug” after latest hotfix? Nere fight

So this has happened to me twice in a row after the latest hotfix, and never happened to me in dozens of playthroughs before: when freeing Nere, one of the Duergar will walk back too soon, walk over the fire, and aggro the whole area, even the other Duergar I had convinced to help me. This makes the fight quite a lot more difficult. Is this just my bad luck, or has this been indeed introduced with the hotfix? Thanks.

Not "new", but most likely a recurring bug. Updates/Patches often bring back old previously fixed bugs... That is one of them... Workaround: Smoke Powder bombs or casting Create Water asap, and be careful with bombs, not to dmg crates or other stuff. In previous Patches this was also turning the Deep Gnomes hostile for me...
