Quick Answer

Act 3 has no single correct order, but the stable plan is gear and companion quests first, then weakening routes like Steel Watch, then Orin and Gortash. The first target depends on whether your party fears duel burst or mechanical pressure more.

StageWhat To DoWatch Out
Entering cityFind vendors, waypoints, and companion quest hooksDo not rush main bosses
Weakening stepsHandle Steel Watch, allies, and intelThis lowers Gortash pressure
Orin routeBring single-target burst, initiative, and rescue planningWatch kidnapping variables
Gortash routeHandle machines and terrain advantageDo not fight in the worst arena state

Key Checks

  • Gear and companion routes make main bosses safer.
  • Steel Watch content changes city combat dramatically.
  • Orin’s route touches companion safety, so track it.
