Baldur's Gate 3

The developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 designed most questlines so that they may be completed in multiple ways. Thus, giving the players more freedom in how they approach situations. This guide represents one method that is confirmed to unlock this achievement.

This guide takes place when Gortash is still inside the Audience Hall during the coronation and after taking out the steel watch factory. If he has moved upstairs, you will need to approach this differently.

There are two ways into Gortash’s Audience Hall on the 2nd floor of Wyrm’s Rock: the main entrance and the back. Instead of going up the stairs on the east side of Wyrm’s Rock, go around the left side of the stairway. There you will find a lever on the wall behind a crate. Then, pull the lever to reveal a hidden passage leading outside.

Work your way clockwise around the fortress until you reach a ladder followed by climbable vines. At the top, you will find a doorway that can be picked, giving you entrance into the hallway directly behind the throne.

Open either door to start the fight to initiate the battle. Place 2 characters at each door to lure Gortash into the hall and cover the choke points. By fighting in the back hallway, you will avoid triggering the traps that are scattered around the Audience Hall. As soon as Gortash enters the back hall, focus all damage on him and burn down his health bar. If you have melee character who need to move closer to Gortash, use Disengage to move without getting hit. Once Gortash is killed, the Fancy Footwork achievement will unlock.

There's a really quick and simple way to unlock this that doesn't require you fight Gortash or any of the Steel Watchers.

We'll be using the Improvised Melee Weapon action, so best to have either Laezel or Karlach in the party, as there the best bet to have enough strength to pick up Gortash.

Once you get to Wyrms Crossing, go to the inauguration and agree to ally with Gortash. Agree to stick around and don't interrupt the ceremony.

Once this is complete he will be standing there at the throne. Move your character towards him, select Improvised Melee Weapon and select from world. Highlight Gortash as your weapon, so you will pick him up, then move your cursor to the other end of the hall (where you came in by the big door) and press A again.

Your character will now pick him up and wander to that location. Whilst they are moving, quickly press the back button and Y to access the fast travel waypoints and teleport to South Span of Wyrms Crossing.

When you appear Gortash will be stood outside by the way point.

Repeat the process of picking him up, but this time we're moving him to the lower wooden platform to the east, overlooking the edge of the bridge. We want to get him as close to the edge as we can.

He will get thrown to the floor here, go prone for a tick and get back up. He will then stand there waiting about enjoying the view!

Now all you need to simply do is use the Shove bonus action on him - making sure he will fall over the edge - and he will fall to his death.

You will then get the achievement and can go down to the shore to get his loot!

If fighting him after he made his way to the top floor, you can beat him without getting hit, by having a ranged character and either mages or scrolls.

By making him follow you up the first ladder to the top floor, then breaking the ladder to the roof, he stays on that top floor and wont move, since he cant get to you. Then use area spells, i used Insect Swarm and Cloudkill, down the ladder hole, he will stand in those areas taking damage without even moving. I threw an elemental summon to where the broken ladder would have been to kite him and his guards towards the hole, and could use ranged weapons to pick them off from above, or leave him to die from the spells.

Bring most of your team to the roof except the ranged, have them attack one of the guards in the room with Gortash. It took 2 hits to aggro the guard, and run back up to the roof after the second hit. Break the ladder to the roof as soon as everyone is up there and Gortash is on the second floor, and he wont be able to hit you anymore. And since there aren't any traps up there to be activated, this achievement popped once Gortash dies.

This video only shows the set up, but afterwards you can simply skip every turn until he dies or try to hit him from above, either way he stays in the fields of damage.
