If you or Astarion is an assassination rogue, it's pretty easy to wipe out the guards one-by-one without alerting anyone else in the tower. Start with the warden, as soon as one of the eyes leaves her room (make sure the doors are closed) have Astarion hide, go immediately into turn-based mode and attack her. If you beat her down quickly and put her body into a container, it won't alert the eyes or guards. Then, wait for one of the eyes to wander into the warden's office. Astarion should be able to kill it in one turn. Next is the eye that roams outside but doesn't enter the warden's office. It's tricky to get the timing down, but there will be a point where the eye is by itself with no guards around. Have your rogue attack it too, and it should go down in a turn. Then, I suggest you attack the guard who doesn't move around toward the back of the room. He has a lot of HP like the warden, but if you wait to attack until the death-warded guard is walking away and about halfway down the cell block, you should be able to beat him in one turn. And lastly, take out the deathwarded guard. She'll revive with 1 hp upon death, but as long as you got the jump on her, you should have many turns before she gets one. If you take out all of these people before freeing the prisoners, you won't make anyone else in the tower hostile, even if you take your time freeing them. You don't even need to fight the enemies up the stairs near the prison's entrance.
Used the very same method. Teleport group to camp, Gale stays, misty step into the cell, tear down the wall, broke the chains, tear down the other wall and go to the light inn. Talked to the gnome and go through dialogue and reward. Then teleport back the other 3 back into the prison and I could see the guards going to the boat (lol) and they just ignored me completely. Awesome I personally didn't find the tieflings because I destroyed the grove (had to to recruit Minthara)
you can knock her out if you want to recruit her later and evade the attack on the grove(talkin of minthara) at least i think im not sure, the only downside is that you don t get her tadpole
Hello! In case anyone is also looking this up, if you talked to Larissa and Dani in Emerald Grove, they are in the cell that you have to break down the wall of in this strategy. Once I did that it triggered a battle with the guards. :)
you can do both quests (rescues the thieflings and rescue the iron gnomes at the same time with out a fight), another way to get to the boat area is to click on the crack in the chimney on the rafters in the first floor of the towers, it will try to pull you in, don't resist let it you will get dropped in to an area you have to fight your way down and it will land you right by the boat area, you have to jump across , this way you can take the whole party with you, the Thiefling quest is just beside the area where he breaks the wall at the back there are two different area's you can break the wall if you do it at the same time , both the gnomes and the thieflings run to the boat with you and sail away with out fighting . make sure you don't stick around the wall or you will agro the guards. i did a blast and ran like the wind also stayed as far away as i could while casting the spell to break the wall, you have to unlink your group let two of them rest by the boat and one each just close enough to break the wall with a spell, i used two warlocks their blast brought down the wall in one hit. p.s. after breaking the wall you only have very few turns (3-4 i think) to make it in to the boat else they will leave with out you. =)
I do a similar way to do this quest. In my case I had to save the tieflings too, so I can't enter in that empty cell (because the tieflings was there), so I take Gale and my character (a mage too, I think it's necessary), I use the misty step on the two mages, one for cell, and broke the walls. Run fast to the boat and break the chains fast too, before enter the combat (two times to go well). Now, I can walk to the moon tower without combat too, but if I go to the cell, they start the combat.
I think my game is bugged. I was able to free all of them without fighting, but I am not able to talk to Wulbren in the Inn later on, even though the mission marker tells me to do.
This method actually helped figure out a way to rescue both thiefling and wulbren's gang for free. It wasn't easy.... had to pretty much enter turn base mod, and break both walls at the same time, then leave with one of my companions (2 of them were already at camp ofc), and then run for it with Gale...
Hey mate, can you share your graphics settings? I've got pretty much everything set to max but your game looks much better even in a YT video. Thanks so much!
I did a different way to get exp. I brought in explosives and oil barrels down one end and blew guards up in one hit. Put one one guard and did most damage on her and finished her off.

Maybe you did something different before
I feel like it's a console bug, I have the same problem
Maybe. I play on pc
did you fix it? same thing happen to me
i can't trigger the dialogue with wulbren. they just sit at the table. what to do? the objective doesn't go away
Same, let me know if you find a solution:(
Tbh idk why for some is not an option
its happening to me too, not sure why. did you ever find a solution?
I’m also stuck with this, did anyone figure out how to get the dialogue?
Maybe bugged?

I did came back there to the prison cells area after and it trigged the fight
Glad to help 👍🤗
Push the eyes and the patrolling guard into the chasm and nobody will start combat with you.
use shatter or magic missile for wall probably works as well
👍
yo where is the last light inn? And do I have to visit it first before it gives me the action to take them there?
I think I have a video with that
Yes I would advise it because of the worm you pass the check so the guy doesn’t get hostile like he did with me
👍

Sorry for late answer. I think everything is on max. I play on pc with rtx 3080ti

I understand
I got no reward just him mentioning someone called ketheric
... idk why
This one’s so annoying my first 3 times it was easy the 2 last times it was a nightmare 😂🤣😂🤣
I understand 😁
These 2 minute commercials at the beginning or your videos are a pain!!
