Mazzy has challenged Gorf the Squisher is a Companion Quest during the Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign.

Acquisition[]

The quest is obtained by bringing Mazzy Fentan into the vicinity of the side door (left of the front door) outside of the Copper Coronet in the Slums District of Athkatla where an Ogre named Gorf the Squisher stands (2110.2600) (only between the hours 3 and 15)[1].

  • As soon as the party enters range, Gorf initiates his taunting:

"What this? Baby paladin? Girl play dress-up like big warrior? I talk you, pipsqueak. Go home to dolls, this big Gorf's world. I show you difference in wimpy halfling punch and Gorf
squishy hit. Watch me.
"

  • The party can continue to walk on by, but incensed, Gorf will attack some nearby innocent citizenry to grab her attention, once again, saying:

"See difference, little nothing? Tiny gives Gorf hurt head. Gorf no like. Gorf will squishy you kind."

  • At that point Mazzy can take it no longer, and replies:

"I can stand by and take your insults to myself but now you have struck an innocent merely to dishonor me. I demand satisfaction, brutish fool!"

Walkthrough[]

Mazzy will challenge him to a duel in the Copper Coronet's fighting pits.

Inside the Copper Coronet, Bunkin can be approached and asked to fetch Gorf for the fight. Doing so, will send the two directly into the fighting pit. However if anyone goes pass Bunkin, northwards towards the stairs, Festule takes an interest and starts a dialog.

Next to the stairs of the common room, Festule the Alchemist will sell a potion to the group for 500gp (400gp with bargaining) to drug Gorf. It may not be necessary to beat Gorf, but it will grant extra experience.

Note: There is another potion labeled "Festule the Alchemist's Potion" inside a desk within the Temple of Helm in the Temple District. However, this particular potion has no effect on the outcome of this quest.

Return with the potion to Bunkin. With a bit of flattery, Bunkin can be persuaded to give the potion to Gorf. Completing this optional step will grant an additional 11,500 XP to the party.

Once Gorf and Mazzy are ready they both will be teleported to the small fighting pit.

Note: Any gear equipped by Mazzy is dropped on the floor inside the Copper Coronet where she stood at the time the challenge began. Be sure to go back and pick up her gear.

Mazzy will be stripped of her equipment and given a short sword and a small shield. Initially, the sword and shield will NOT be equipped, but will only be in her inventory. You may pause the game to equip her new gear. Also, you may pass gear to her from outside the pit if the character is not too far away. Gorf is only equipped with a regular club, and does not drop anything else.

Killing Gorf is worth 2,500 XP, which also completes the quest, granting the party 5,000 XP.

Notes[]

  • The potion cannot be bought if Mazzy is within earshot of Festule.
  • The potion has to be bought before asking Bunkin to fetch Gorf.
  • It is not necessary to have Lehtinan in control of the Copper Coronet before bringing Mazzy into the Slums area. The pit fight occurs regardless of the current owner.
  • It is recommended to talk with Lehtinan in the Copper Coronet and ask about the backrooms pleasures to be able to unlock the doors. Else it might take a lot of time before Gorf comes into the common room.
  • Bunkin and Festule the Alchemist will disappear after the fight.

Bugs[]

  • Gorf has been known not to appear sometimes or not to initiate the conversation that leads to the fight. It is recommended to save before entering the Copper Coronet right after the initial dialog. External link to the issue on the Beamdog forums.

Mod content[]

the Sword Coast Stratagems mod revised Gorf the squisher, and fixes a coding error.

Note: Gorf's assigned weapon proficiency is for "Spiked Weapon", but he is using a "Blunt Weapon". This means he is not proficient in club and has a -1 THAC0 penalty. The SCS mod fixes this issue.
