...just thought that fifty shades of green look good on him

So I went through the correspondence between Ketheric and Gortash on my recent playthrough, and... Sorry, but this had to happen:

[owltaxidermy]

Pretty sure he is the type to wear a leopard coat

I wholeheartedly share the headcanon that Gortash can play the piano. Moreover, it was Raphael who taught him both the instrument and music theory. That's right, my man survived all the hardships, tortures and solfeggio with the devil.

And Durge is the type to fiddle while Rome Baldur's Gate burns. Literally.

I misheard Gortash's line during the fight, so... This is my new fridge sticker:

If anyone was wondering what would happen if you gave Gortash's hand to the Murder Tribunal, well, this:

The dialog is exactly the same as if you gave them Gale's hand. Meh. Mentally scarred myself for nothing.

So, I have a very stubborn headcanon regarding Gortash's puffy fringe and I had to make a comic about it.

I think I found a way to actually save Gortash. That is, to prevent him from encountering the brain while still obtaining his netherstone.

A while ago, it was possible to gently knock Gortash out in the morphic pool, but that ability was perfidiously taken away from us after Patch 7. Since then, the archdouche would transform into Mechagort upon loosing insignificant amount of hp in any state: stunned, paralyzed, prone, hold person'ed or dancing.

The problem is, non-lethal damage doesn't work on the Avatar of Tyranny, so it's a one way ticket 😢 But! There is a solution – petrification! It is not death, and it can be reversed with a flask of basilisk oil. Also, it grants you resistance to all types of damage, so getting stoned is good for your health, kids!

After you turn Enver into a sculptural masterpiece, the battle still continues. Don't attack him anymore (he definitely won't attack you) – this might trigger the transformation, just run towards the pool with any character in your party. This will start the "Meet the Absolute" cutscene. Gortash won't be in it, but his netherstone will!

I really hoped that the Emperor would take Gortash statue with us to the Astral pocket like he does with his corpse, but sadly it didn't happen. So no basilisk oil for now, babygirl.
