Baldur’s Gate 3 Walkthrough – Prologue

Official Cinematic Trailer

After the introductory video and character creation process, your hero will leave the capsule. Then the game will begin. Examine another capsule of Mind Flayers to see that you are not the only survivor. On the second floor, there are several cartilage boxes that contain potions and other items.

While exploring this location, you can use the Jump bonus action on the panel at the bottom of the screen to jump over the chasms or climb up. You can also shoot at suspended bodies. If you catch fire or need healing, interact with the blue capsule, which is called “Recovery”. Do not forget that jumping down will damage the hero. The higher the altitude, the more HP you will lose.

Laezel is one of your potential companions in Baldur’s Gate 3

Use the ALT key to highlight most of the interactive items. Although in the early build, many of them still remain unlighted.

Follow ahead and search the dead imps to get potions and scrolls. Use the jump to go upstairs, or activate the elevator. You will find a man named Myrnat. Interact with him and you will understand that he is now a vegetable. The Intellect Devourer will speak to you. You can either destroy it, leave it as it is, or extract it. Extraction of the brain requires one of three skills to be tested.

Illithids are initially presented as the main enemies, but in fact, in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, danger comes from literally every living creature.

Any check in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a 20-tiger die roll, which follows the rules of the fifth and current edition of the D&D rules. If the result on the die is the same or higher than the set goal, the check is considered successful. Otherwise, it will fail. With your skills, you can lower the target of the check by a maximum of 3 points. For example, if you need to pass a charisma check and without bonuses the target is 10 units, then if you use a character with 16 charisma (this is the maximum value of any skill), you will reduce the target to 7 units. Save often, and if something doesn’t suit you, replay the skill check. Of course, if there is not a target of 18-20 units.

If you retrieve the Intellect Devourer and then cripple him, you can find out where you ended up. If you don’t cripple him, then the Devourer will help you in all future battles on the illithid ship . Without him, the coming battles will be more difficult. Keep moving, use the jump to jump over the chasm, and then you will meet with Laezel. She is a warrior of the Gityanka race and one of the potential companions in the game. Join her and together defeat the demons in the next room.

This is such a “cute” parasite that members of your squad will have to extract

The battles in the game are turn-based, and with rare exceptions each character will be able to attack the enemy only once per turn. In general, the combat system deserves a separate manual, so we’ll talk about it later.

Satellites BG3	Race	Class
Shadowwhart	half-elf	priest
Gail	person	wizard
Astarion	elf	rogue
Laezel	gityanka	warrior
Will	person	witch

Read more about the companions of Baldurs Gate 3 in a separate article.

Defeat three demons. Try to lure them out and destroy them one by one. Use the Intellect Devourer as a tank. Don’t let the enemies surround your hero, otherwise serious problems will arise. If you are a mage, use a familiar to help you in combat. Unlike the first and second parts, the death of the familiar will not cause an irreversible decrease in the hero’s health. Note that demons move far away and attack from a distance. After the victory, collect the items and heal inside the “Recovery” capsule. Then go up to the deck above.

Huge Illithid Ship

Search all the corpses on the deck, collecting potions, gold and other items. Some of the slaves are alive, but you cannot save them. Attacking enemies will provoke the appearance of Intellect Eaters, and for killing you will be given only 1 EXP. Defeat two demons on the upper deck. Once you’re done, pack your things and use the entrance in front.

In one of the capsules on the left is Shadowhart, your potential companion. Pressing the buttons on the nearest panel will release the slave, who will have to be killed. It won’t work to free the girl, but you can try and she will remember it. You will receive thanks from her later, on the Ruined Beach.

In the next chamber, you need to interact with the terminal to see how a person turns into a Mind Flayer. Fortunately, the illithid is locked inside. A key can be found on the dead body, which opens the chest from the previous room with Shadowwhart. Inside the control room, you will see how the illithids are fighting demons. Drive in the direction of the helm. You can focus on the demons and ignore their commander. As soon as you get to the other part of the cabin, even more enemies will appear. After killing them, interact with the control panel. Watch the video.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Walkthrough – Chapter 1

All main and side missions in the first chapter of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Extracting the parasite

The quest starts on the illithid ship after meeting Laezel. Talk to her. The girl will say that the parasites in the head will turn us into brain eaters. And your task is to find a way to extract them.

After a ship wreck, you will find yourself on the Ruined Shore. Move along the coast, searching for corpses. In no case do not turn left, because at the far end of the coast, at the locked door, is your first companion, Shadowwhart. Yes, yes, the same girl that you tried or did not try to save on the ship. If you tried, she will be grateful to you. But even if not, he will still join the squad. Two tasks are activated at once:

Subject quest ” Abandoned Ruins“
Satellite task ” Daughter of Darkness“

Move to the fallen ship to find the wrecked, who are trying to reach the wounded illithid. If you can’t convince them, you’ll have to fight. After the victory, save and then interact with the illithid. In no case do not give in to compassion, because this creature will instantly kill you. Walk out to the shore to see the elf Astarion. Chat with him and agree to accept him into your team. If you already have three companions, then Astarion will go to the camp. You will find it later.

Move on and find the grove (and altar). Goblins will appear near the gate. Help defeat them and then go through the gate. Hear the conversation between Zevlor and Aradin. You can intervene or stand on the sidelines. After that, Shadowwhart will speak to you. Listen to her and agree that you need to think about yourself. Gail and Shadowwhart will approve of this .

Go deeper to get to the Cavity location. There are many interesting characters here. Among them is a trader halfling. You can sell him various items for the gold of the squad. Do not confuse squad gold with regular gold stored in your inventory! Regular gold is cheaper than the squad’s gold, and all goods from merchants are sold exclusively for the squad’s gold.

Below you will meet Will – your fifth and final companion in the game. Talk to the nearby Hex, who is training on a dummy. If you can use the “Warrior” skill (you need to choose this class for the hero), then all the characters from the squad will approve of it .

Search all interactive objects as any loot is good

Talk to Kaga, then Zevlor and decide what to do. You can either escort the refugees out or side with them, go to Kage and kill her. But this is an extreme option. The main problem is different – goblins. So let’s focus on them.

Medvesych

During the passage of Baldur’s Gate 3, you will encounter many dangerous opponents. One of them is Medvesych. Exit the camp through the gate and go right to find yourself in the forest. On your right hand you will meet three people, and one of them dies. Don’t say that you are a crash survivor and that you are not Loyal or they will have to be killed. Tell them they need to finish off Medvesych. Follow them to Medvesych’s cave and kill this monster. Then tell them that the couple should go to the nearest camp and report everything. And one more thing: a parasite will emerge from the corpse of their brother. If you let it go, the companions will not like it. Try to at least kill him. Even if you do not pass the test, at least you will not get a negative reputation. There is a magic chest in Medvesych’s lair. Jump over to the statue nearby and go behind it. When you pass the attention test, find a prayer note. Return to the chest and read this note again (from inventory). The chest will open, but keep in mind that if you take things out of it, you will receive a -15 penalty to Shadowwhart’s reputation.

Shkryab the dog

Go to the other side of the cave and turn right to find Shkryaba’s dog near the corpse. Interact with him and try to pass the training test. Note that if you fail with one character, you can repeat the check with another. Eventually, you will recognize his nickname. Give him a hand to sniff so that he can follow further to your camp. And then you can calmly search the corpse.

Extinct village

Go to the other side of Shkryab, to the concrete road, which has three people. Go through the gate to the extinct village. You will be noticed by goblins, but you can exclude the battle if you use the talents “Ithyllida” and “Wisdom”. Go to the well in the center of the village, just to the right of the altar of wanderings. If you pass the intelligence test, you can go down and find yourself in the abyss. There are dangerous enemies here, including phase spiders. By the way, you can go down even without passing the check.

Gityanka medicine

This quest will begin if you free Laezel near the cliffs by the road and take her into the squad. Speak with Zorru in the Druid’s Grove Cavity where all the friendly NPCs are. He will say that he saw the Gityankas in the west, near a mountain pass on the road that leads to Baldur’s Gate. The path will not be short.

Go from the extinct village to the right to the mill, and from it – even more to the right. Walk past the sleeping enemy and head west. You will find many interesting quests, but you are interested in a marker pointing to a Gityan patrol. Let Laezel tell the truth, but in that case, you will have to kill all enemies. However, you can then search the corpse. Be sure to check the medallion to find out where the nursery is. It is impossible to get there in the early access.

In search of a druid

You will learn about the disappearance of the druid Khalsin about Zevlor, after defeating the goblins and passing through the gates of the druid’s grove. To continue the quest, it is enough to find a stone bridge and three adventurers in the forest to the west of the grove of Sylvanus. Talk to the chief to find out that they left the druid.

Get to the goblin camp. With the goblins at the gate, you can negotiate or fight. You decide. Go to the settlement in front of the door to the inside of the camp. On the right there is a merchant, in the center is the captive Volo bar (interact to take the quest “Saving the Bard”), on the left is a goblin who offers to take part in the kurgon (you need to drive a chicken between two pillars, but no one will give you the win; only if you pass skill check).

Walk through the archway to the right and meet four goblins. Nearby will be the altar of wanderings. Talk to Neophyte Khrup, who tells the story to the other three. You can bow, but your companions will not like it. You can avoid a fight by passing intimidate or illithid checks (used no more than a couple of times per day). But by no means attack him! If you attack first, you will have to fight everyone outside. And if the goblin attacks you first (refuse to kiss), then only the bully and three of his friends will have to be defeated.

If Chrup attacks you, it will be enough to beat him, but not necessarily kill. He admits defeat. If you offer him help, the companions will not approve of this, and Khrup himself will not be grateful. Instead, make him kiss his foot, finish off, or walk away. Apparently, if you finish off Khrup, everyone else will take up arms against you.

Go inside the camp, deal with the goblins at the entrance (or kill, or convince you to skip). The first character you meet is the priestess Faithful Gut. It is needed on the quest “Priestess of Goblins” and as part of the quest “Extracting Parasites” Useless though.

From the prisoner inside the goblin camp (after entering, go right along the steps and see how two goblins torture the adventurer) you can learn that Khalsin turned into a bear, and then no one saw him. But for this you have to free the prisoner. If you don’t kill the goblins, you will have to hurt the prisoner. And if you kill, then take away from one of them the key from the rack (the device for torture, to which he is tied).

Go deep into the building of the goblins and go to the far right corner relative to the entrance (if you stand with your back to it. There you will find a door. Open it and talk to the goblins who are throwing stones at the bear. Attack them, because there is no other option to protect the bear! After the victory the bear will turn into Khalsin Help the grove against the goblins and drow on the quest “Rescue the Refugees”, then talk to the returning Khalsin. He will say that he is ready to help you in the morning.

By the way, if they didn’t allow a raid on the grove, Haslin will ask you to kill Kishka, Razglin and Mintara. Do it any way you want.

Druid’s Apprentice

From the merchant in the Druid’s Grove Cavity, you can inquire about a certain Nettie, the healer of this place. Go inside the Kagi Shrine and go to the back room where Netty, Halsin’s apprentice, is. Tell her about everything, but be sure to save before entering the next room. You will have to kill Nettie or convince her that you must live and have the right to be healed. The latter will require charisma, deception or intimidation. Anyway, after that this quest will end. If Nettie is alive, then you will find out where Khalsin went.

Goblin priestess

You can learn about the priestess from a captive goblin in the Cavity of the Druid Grove. Or on your own, when you enter the goblin camp and talk to Faithful Guts. Refuse everything she offers because your companions will not like it. And the goblin herself cannot do anything.

If you still agree, follow her, separate the main character from the squad (hold LMB and pull out the hero’s icon from the rest of the icons in the lower left corner of the screen). Remove them from the room and talk to Faithful Guts. Then she ban you. If you break free from the shackles, you will have to fight with a large ogre. If you can’t (or decide to save some energy yourself), just wait. A girl will appear who will save the hero. Search Loyal Gut’s corpse and head towards the door on the left. You will open this and the next door with two keys.

Deep in the dungeon where you were locked up, there is a puzzle with rotating tiles. I have not been able to solve it, since there is not a single clue.

Community of brilliant

This sub-quest can be taken from the Mykonoid Colony, which you can reach via the Goblin camp if you solve the disc puzzle or find a lever. Not far from the mykonoid lord, there is a turn to the merchant Bloorg. Talk to him and tell him the whole truth. Do not hinder Mistleum and listen to him. He’s ready to make a special potion, but you need two dangerous mushrooms. And they have a priestess of Mystra named Leonora.

Hike to the Moon Towers

The quest will start after the party at the camp. To do this, you need to deal with the goblins (kill the three leaders) and save Khalsin. After that, talk to Zevlor and agree to go to the camp. Attention! Now you must take any action until your character says he is tired and needs rest. After that, return to the camp, click on the fire and select the end of the day. If you have recently rested, clicking on the fire will simply teleport to the last visited altar of wanderings. That is, you will need to wait until the character gets tired again. In the evening there will be a party, and in the morning Khalsin will talk about the Lunar Towers. You can go to them through the Underdark (there is a boat of a skiff, dvergar, but in the early access the way there is inaccessible), or on the surface.

In early access, the continuation of the quest is not available. But you can go down to the Underdark, get to the skiff in the Dvergar village, and agree to sail. Save your progress first. You will encounter other Dwelgar along the way. If you complete the quest with the missing boots, they will let you through. If not, you will have to trick the dwelgar or kill it. And after that there will be a cut-scene that concludes the early access version.

Scientist

When you save the bard Volo, he will be in your camp. Talk to him, tell him about the parasite, after which he will ask for some time to brush up on his knowledge. When you rest again by the fire, the next day go to Volo. He is ready to pull out the parasite, but he will use an ice ax for this. If you let him wield the tool, he will gouge out the protagonist’s eye. You will receive a permanent debuff. If you refuse, then save your eye.

Rescue refugees

This quest can be started after talking with Zevlor in the druid’s grove. Agree to help him. There are several ways to save refugees. For example, kill the goblins in their camp (not to be confused with an extinct village, which is located just behind the forest, not far), finish off Kaga, the leader of the druids, who drives out the refugees.

Showdown with goblins

This quest is part of the Rescuing Refugees quest, but you only get it after you meet Will in the druid’s grove. To complete this quest, it is important to get to the goblin camp and kill Gut, Razglin and Mintara. Then report it to Zevlor.

Showdown with the druids

After talking with Zevlor and Kaga, return to Zevlor again. Zevlor will ask you to kill Kaga. I have not tried it, but probably then all druids will turn against you. Maybe not. If you decide to kill Kagu, go to her and attack. She will be assisted by three other warriors. But after that it will be possible to freely pick up the idol around which the ritual is held.

Raid the grove

Inside the goblin camp, you will find the dror Rugzlin. Help him in communicating with the corpse of the illithid (you can use Shadowheart , since the check can be passed by the skills of the priest). And then he will order to speak with Mintara, another drow, to go with her on a foray into the grove of druids and adventurers. Yes, the same grove.

You can talk to Ragzlin again. If you tell about the parasite, then he, together with other opponents, will attack you. Go back a little and turn right to find Minatra behind the passage to the right of the large door. Do not resist her, otherwise you will have to fight. Say you will help. You will still have the option to fight on the side of the tieflings. However, you can pass the skill test and hide the location of the grove.

So you have two options. Return to the grove and talk to Zevlor. Blow a nearby war horn. Mintara will appear. Either open the gate and attack the tieflings, or refuse and fight on the side of the tieflings against the goblins and drow. It’s up to you to decide. Then the quest “Rescuing Refugees” will end. If they fought on the side of the tieflings, Zevlor will say that now they will leave the grove and go to Baldur’s Gate.

Note that now if you return to the goblin camp, you will have to fight everyone you meet on the way!

Abandoned ruins

Opening the door at which Shadowwhart stands will not work. Note the purple seal on the rock on the left. This is a wandering altar, an object used in Baldur’s Gate 3 for fast travel. Climb up the slope, kill the intellect devourers and turn right. So you go out onto the road with three dead goblins and see the altar of wanderings “Cliffs by the road”. Approach the altar so that your new companion, Gail, will appear from it. Chat with him and offer to join the squad.

Move on top in the direction of the overgrown ruins, where the door was locked. Among the ruins of the chapel, you will find a group of robbers. You can pass the skill test to convince them not to fight you. If your character is a warrior, then there will be a corresponding phrase. With it you will frighten all enemies. Gail and Shadowwhart will approve of this.

There are several ways to get inside the ruins:

Shoot a bow at the stone hanging above the place where the two robbers talked. Apparently, if a battle begins, you can also shoot at a stone to kill enemies (except for the sorceress, who will go up the stairs).
Deceive the enemy behind a closed door.
Hack the door using the burglar tool nearby.

If you got inside, having brought down a stone, you will find yourself in the bedroom. Having searched it, when you exit, be prepared to fight several enemies at once. If you went inside through the main door, deceiving the robber, then kill him and take the key. To open the nearest door, use the lever on the wall to the left of it. Or return to the surface and jump through the hole. In the first case, there will be only one warrior in the corridor, although the remaining enemies will be in the next room, and she will call them. And in the second case, all the enemies will be in the corridor, since they will hear the noise from the fall.

One way or another, in the ruins you will need to destroy 4-5 enemies. Having done this, examine the door on the right. It is closed. You can break it, but let’s act logically. There are no handles or locks on it. Go to the room to the left of the door, go behind the tall statue and wait for the characters to pass the attentiveness check. When this happens, you will find a skull. Interact with him. The door is open! Go through it and the next door to enter the crypt.

Once in the dark hall, iditol to the right, as the door on the left is locked. Search the sarcophagi, find the button on the pillar (you need attention) so that after you get the key from the central sarcophagus, turn off the traps. If you cannot find the button, you will have to get out of the room manually. Previously, you can find several holes in the floor and close them with various objects so that mucus does not spill onto the floor (which makes it slippery). After doing this, open another huge door (which was locked). You will find yourself in the hall with the dead. Search them. The path to the left leads to the room with the loot, to the right – to the cave river and the stairs, on which you can go up.

To complete the desired part of the quest, go to the large statue of the deity in the hall with corpses. Go to the corridor to the left of her. It’s a dead end, but with the right discernment, your characters will sooner or later notice the button. Click on it to open the treasure cache. But before you can take things from there, you will have to kill the risen dead. One of them will have a key. With this key, you can unlock the ancient door in the room with the sarcophagi, where you also found the key. This will be the same door leading to the beach that Shadowwhart knocked on. To complete the quest, look inside the sarcophagus, which is hidden behind the same wall. Talk to the undead (it is advisable not to attack the character), after which the dead person will leave, stating that you will meet with him later. Quest completed!

Laezel in a cage

If you cannot defeat the enemies, first I recommend leaving the ruins and walking to the left of them to find yourself in the tiefling camp . Here you will find a cage in which Laezel, a character from the game’s prologue, is locked. If you just attack the tieflings, Gale and Shadowheart won’t approve! An alternative option is to pass a test with a specific skill:

Cheating
Conviction

Shadowwhart and Gale will approve of this. If the tieflings run away, they won’t have to fight. If they lower the cage, then you can either help them kill Laezel, or help Laezel herself, who will become a companion. If you accept Laezel into the squad, Gail will approve of it, but Shadowhart will not. The only viable option is to use deception. For example, Astarion! In this case, the tieflings will leave, they will not have to fight with anyone, and everyone will approve of this.

Child under interrogation

This task can be taken in the druid’s grove, before descending to the Kage. Talk to Marikko. Find out that the druids have captured her daughter, and then agree to help. When you find yourself inside Kagi’s cave, you will meet her, a captive girl and a servant. Kaga orders the girl to be locked up in a dungeon. If you remain silent or fail to persuade her, an accident will occur, as a result of which the girl will die. Persuasion requires a test of charisma or intelligence. Choose a character with a high skill of one of the skills and approach Kage with them to start a dialogue. If you started a dialogue with another hero, you will not be able to switch to a character with the appropriate skill. We’ll have to load the last save. But even with maximum charisma or intelligence, it will not be easy. It takes luck. Be that as it may, go outside and inform the parents about the fate of the girl.

Suspicious singing

This boy on the seashore will have to be rescued from the harpies

Leave the Druidic Sanctuary through the passage to the right of the steps that took you down to the ritual site. Go a little to the left and forward along the path to the north-east. Your characters will hear suspicious sounds of music and the mission will begin. Go down and see a boy by the river. His name is Mol. Whatever you do, if you speak, you will have to fight the harpies. Otherwise, the kid will be killed. As far as I understand, if you ignore this moment now, do not even talk to the boy, then returning here later, you will find that he was killed by the harpies. Therefore, you will have to strain yourself and defeat them with the squad that is at your disposal.

If you saved a child from harpies, he will tell you how to talk to Doni. Tell Doni that you would like to enter the dragon’s lair . It’s simple.

Captive Goblin

In the Druid’s Grove Cavity there is a room with a caged goblin. If you help her against tieflings (for example, intimidate those or persuade them to kill), then you can talk and agree to a deal. But please note that your companions will not like this. On the other hand, only by consent can you take this quest. It is not necessary to open the lock, the cage can simply be broken. However, when you take out the goblin, keep in mind that any character who sees her will raise the alarm (you will have to pass checks or fight with everyone!).

Quest for the Song of the Night

Near the stone bridge in the forest, to the left of the dog Shkryab, there are three adventurers. Talk to their boss to find out about a certain order from the wizard from Baldur’s Gate. He allegedly asked to find one of the relics hidden under the temple, where the soldiers lost half of their squad. In addition, you will learn that they abandoned the druid Khalsin as soon as it smelled fried.

From the prisoner inside the goblin camp (after entering, go right along the steps and see how two goblins torture the adventurer) you can learn that the Night Song is somewhere here, in the goblin temple. But for this you have to free the prisoner. If you don’t kill the goblins, you will have to hurt the prisoner. And if you kill, then take away from one of them the key from the rack (the device for torture, to which he is tied). And if Will is on the team, the goblins will offer to torture the prisoner to tell them where Will’s girlfriend is. You can let him do it, but the goblins won’t say anything anyway. And then give the captive a healing potion.

When you find yourself in the goblin camp, you can chat with the priestess Guts. See, if you agreed to all her proposals, you will find yourself in dungeon. Sooner or later a woman will save you (just select the “Don’t waste energy” option). When she kills Guts and the ogre, go to the bedroom behind the ogre and search the bedside table (to the left of the bed). There will be a priestess’s book. Read it to get a clue to the puzzle: the moon should be at the star, and the shadow should be below.

Walk forward along the corridor and find yourself in a room with a puzzle. On the floor there are four rotating slabs with cells – white, half white, or dark. One of the discs has stars. This is where all four white cells should be. And on the disk under the stars – everything is black (as you know, on the two side disks there should be one Moon and a shadow, as well as two crescent cells.

If you haven’t had time to twist anything yet, here’s the solution to the puzzle:

Note . If you have a sufficient level of discernment, then you can find the interaction point without solving the puzzle. Do you see the broken statue on the steps? There is a gold decoration on the wall to the right (there are several of them in the hall). It will become active either after solving the puzzle, or if your characters notice it due to their high insight. Perhaps, after solving the puzzle, you don’t even have to break this “lock”. But without a solution, you will definitely need luck and some hacking kits.

After that, the wall will move away, and you can go down. However, in Early Access, as in the first act of the game, it will not be possible to find the Song of the Night. When it appears in the game, we will finish off this information in our walkthrough “Baldurs Gate 3”.

Happy turn

Once in the extinct village, follow the steps to the right to see Fezzerk and the other goblins mocking the gnome tied to the blades of the mill. Decide what to do. But on assignment you need to convince the goblins to leave or kill everyone, then go inside the mill and press the brake lever (do not confuse with the lever that allows you to release the brake). Then talk to Bark, after which your paths diverge. The task is completed, but in the early build it does not disappear from the inventory.

If you have Will in the party, you have to fight. And you must beat the main goblin, Fezzerka, and the rest will all scatter. If you leave him alive, he will show a secret path to the camp.

Kidnapping the idol

In the cavity, you can chat with a boy named Doni. However, he will not be very talkative, and then disappear. If you can pass the skill check, you will find the entrance to the cave. If not, come here a little later so that Doni will reappear. Talk to him, pass another check, as a result of which you can get into the cave (repeat until you do this; try with different characters). Inside you are waiting for a boy named Maul. Talk to him. If you saved the girl from Kagi, then he will thank you.

And then he will offer to steal the idol, which the druids use for their squad. If you do this in front of their eyes, even with the use of an invisibility potion, they will still have time to spot you, and you will have to fight with 4-5 druids and beasts. If you kill Kagu, which Zevlor asks for, then when you exit the location, there will be no one else. The idol can be safely taken away.

Another option – if you protect the grove from the goblins and drow on the mission “Rescue the Refugees”, and also save Khalsin, the ritual will end. By the way, it is probably Khalsin who needs to be saved. He will become the leader again, and the idol will be transported inside the cave where Kaga was. You can steal the idol, and no one will say a word to you (Rath will keep silent).

Rescue the bard

When you find yourself in front of the entrance to the goblin camp, you will see the bard Volo, captured by these disgusting creatures. Listen to his words, the quest will begin, demanding his rescue. Head inside the goblin camp and climb the steps to the right of Priestess Guts. In one of the rooms (behind a wooden door) there will be a cage with Volo. She is guarded by a goblin. Kill her, make a Skill check, or buy Volo. It can be redeemed for 50 gold!

Circle of myconids

Once in the cave under the goblin camp (in search of the Song of the Night, read above), you will find the myconids. Pass the check (especially easily through discernment) and then head deeper into the myconid hideout to chat with Spav. He will ask you to interrupt the dwelgar. Agree. Travel deep into the Underdark to find the shore and kill four Dwelgar (one of them will revive the corpses).

Hunt for a mushroom picker

In the same Myconid hideout, there will be a trader named Derrit Bonecloak. Talk to her and find out that she is looking for her husband. Go into the passage where two guards are standing (to the left of Derrit and to the right of Gloth), and then turn right. This will get you to green spores. On the right there are vines leading down. Go down to find yourself in the Dread Ravine. Ahead is a huge clearing with mushroom spores. There will also be Baelit. He fell into a trap. There is a fire in the distance, and if the mushrooms release poison, it will ignite and Baelite will die. Use jumps and move forward. There is a backpack to the left of Baelith. Pick it up, jump over to Baelith and hand over the scroll. I had a bug and Baelit didn’t do anything. But based on the contents of the scroll, it should teleport. There is also another bug. If you want to save Baelith, do not approach the field, but shoot from afar at the spores. Before Baelite speaks to you! He will flee from the fire and will not take fatal damage. And then he will thank you. Just go back to Derrit.

Another lord

To the left is a myconid named Glot. Talk to him (he will start the conversation on his own). Gloth will offer his help in killing the Dwelgar. It’s up to you to decide, but I refused (Glot will be able to revive fallen enemies). If you take him with you, he will help you kill the Dwelgar on the shores of the Underdark. But keep in mind that you will need to go to the shore along the path without obstacles, since Glot will not jump over the ledges. Attack the Dwelgar (there are four of them), and after the victory talk to Glot. He will offer to remove Spava, but most likely he will have to fight all the myconids. You decide. And if you refuse, Glot will attack you. However, as stated above, you can simply not take Glot with you.

Lost boots

The quest is taken from the Dvergar in the Underdark, in a village near the myconid colony. He asks to find expensive boots that the fugitive Tulla took. Tulla is a suffering dwelgar next to the lord of the Myconids. Just return to him and remove the boots from Tulla. You don’t have to kill her. Visit the shore with the doorgars again and talk to Geh. Report the boots. He will tell you that you can go to the other side and give the boots to Sergeant Trinn. Going down, you will find a boat – Yalik.

But when you interact with it, a message is activated that early access ends here, so you don’t need to sail anywhere.

Accordingly, the quest will not be completed to the end. If you kill the dwargar, you will receive the antidote. Give it to Tulle, but keep in mind: if the boots are stolen, she will attack you. The Myconids, including Swap, will do the same. Perhaps if you find a good mushroom, which you can learn about from the merchant Derrek, and cure Tulla, she will give the boots just like that.

Lost on the way

This quest can be taken in the event that you return to the extinct village and follow the road to the right of the steps leading to the mill. This path will lead you past a sleeping enemy (a knock is heard in the house, the ogrsha is having fun with his lover, so it is better not to interfere with them) to the destroyed bridge. Jump over it and go right on the other side. You will see traces of blood. Kill all the hyenas and search the corpses. There will be a letter on one of the corpses of the caravan. Read it to find out about the chest and someone with the initials N.F. Climb a little higher and find the gnolls attacking the survivors. Kill them all. It will be a tough battle. And then talk to the leader of the caravan. He will tell you about the shelter. Go to Waukeen’s orphanage, walk to the left of the burning buildings and use the door behind the boxes. Inside, name the password, and then go down the hatch at the back of the barn.

Thief hideout

Colorful salvation

There is a merchant in the thieves’ hideout, where you will get on the quest “Lost on the way”. You can buy a certain Oscar from him. If convinced, the cost will be 600 gold. Do not convince, you have to pay 1000 coins. Then talk to Oscar, give him some coins for the road and he will go home. You will meet him at Baldur’s Gate.

Rescue of the Grand Duke

Follow the shelter marker near the place where you helped the survivors of the caravan on the Lost on the Way quest. You will find a burning manor. Break the large barrel of wine on the right, enter the building and jump to the second floor. Break the oak door in front to save the woman. In addition, in one of the rooms on the second floor there is a half-elf on whom a beam fell. A separate quest is associated with it, described below.

To save the Grand Duke, you need to break the boards to the left of the character. And then talk to him. If you don’t want the quest to bug, it’s better to knock down the main door. If there is Will, ask him. And then go upstairs together with everyone and break those very boards. After freeing the duke, leave the burning building. Then you can continue passing Baldur’s Gate 3.

Runaway devil

In the same place where you took the “Lost on the way” quest (see above), go further along the road with blood to go down to the river. There will be a few more bloodstains and a tiefling on the other side. Convince the girl not to shoot, and then agree to help. There is a bridge nearby and an outpost near it. There are about four characters. Chat with their boss. He will ask the same tiefling girl who asked to get rid of the cultists. This is what they are. We’ll have to choose. But I’ll say for sure that the tiefling girl is right, so it would be wise to kill the cultists. In addition, in the next act, she will probably be able to become your companion. If you decide to kill her, then cut off the head and bring it to the sectarians.

Half-elf trapped

You need to save the half-elf that the beam fell on. It is located on the second floor. But if you just open the door, a flame will break out and the floor will start burning even more. Having freed the half-elf, go outside with him and talk. He is looking for Miri. There is another building on the left. Go to the entrance and jump inside. Move by jumping and get to the upper floor. Search Miriken’s corpse and then report to the half-elf. He will go to the corpse. Follow him and talk to find out about the dowry. To complete the quest, you need to find this dowry.

Tea house

From the extinct village, go down south (down the map), and on your way to the sunny swamps, you will meet Aunt Ethel and two guys. They claim that Ethel kidnapped their sister. Ask the old woman to tell the truth, but she will threaten and disappear. Tell the brothers that you will return Mairin

Move deep into the swamp until you find a house. You can chat with the character on the left, who is looking for Astarion. More details in the “Pale Elf” quest. Then go inside the house and talk to Aunt Ethel and Mairin. If you tell the whole truth, then Ethel will move Mairin to the basement, and then reveal his true face. Defeat the witch and her minions (who emerged from the sheep). Then go to the basement behind the fireplace, go downstairs and kill the enemies. At the very end there will be a cage with Mairin. Use the altar to free her. Take or leave the locket for the girl. And then go through the wooden door to the room with the witch’s supplies. Find the wand there. He will allow Mairin’s husband to be revived.

If you do this, you can take the undead with you, kill or give away the Mairin wand. She will travel with the revived dead to Baldur’s Gate.

Baldur’s Gate 3 walkthrough – all companion quests

In this part of the article, I’ll show you how to complete the quest for each companion.

Daughter of Darkness

The task becomes available after you accept into the team (or send to the camp) Shadowwhart.

Waterdeep Wizards

The task becomes available after you accept Gale into the team (or send to the camp).

Gityanka Warrior

The task becomes available after you accept Laezel into the team (or send to the camp). Speak with Zorru in the Druid’s Grove Cavity where all the friendly NPCs are. He will say that he saw the Gityankas in the west, near a mountain pass on the road that leads to Baldur’s Gate. Go from the extinct village to the right to the mill, and from it – even more to the right. Walk past the sleeping enemy and head west. You will find many interesting quests, but you are interested in a marker pointing to a Gityan patrol. Let Laezel tell the truth, but in that case, you will have to kill all enemies. However, you can then search the corpse. Be sure to check the medallion to find out where the nursery is. It is impossible to get there in the early access.

Pale elf

The task becomes available after you accept Astarion into the team (or send to the camp). In the sun-drenched swamps (down from the extinct village) you can find a wandering altar by the teahouse. There will also be a monster hunter. Talk to him. If Astarion is on the team, you will feel a certain tension, but the quest will not progress. Therefore, one should speak with the hunter without Astarion. Remove it in advance, otherwise nothing will come of it. Then begin to test different characters until you convince the hunter to tell you that he is pursuing the vampire Astarion.

Frontier Blade

The task becomes available after you accept Will to the team (or send to the camp). Apparently, it’s enough to just attack at least some goblins in the goblin camp. And then the quest will disappear. Or Will must be with you. In general, I caught such a bug – I killed a couple of goblins inside and that’s it, the quest was gone. Take Will with you and attack the goblin camp. Kill Guts, Mintara, and Razglina. Be sure to talk with him with the executioner Thorn, who tortures the adventurer.
