FAQs

Should you take Rugans cargo? ›

If you let Rugan deliver the strongbox without tampering with it, or if you kill him and Olly and deliver it yourself, you'll receive gold and a special crossbow known as the Harold. Additionally, delivering the shipment yourself prompts Zarys to offer you more work if you ever make it to Baldur's Gate.

If you chose to open your mind to the tadpole or to keep the tadpole without stomping on it, you will be able to share the powers of the Astral-Touched Tadpole with any companion who is already infected by a tadpole.

A letter found on the roof of the Open Hand Temple reveals that Danzo has dealings with the Zhentarim, specifically with Roah Moonglow. If confronted about this, the player can try to blackmail him in order to get a higher gold reward when handing in the missing letters.

The only way for them to survive is to let them keep the chest and take it to Zarys themselves. If you talk them into leaving the chest with you then Olly ends up dead and Rugan's day has gone from bad to worse.

Before making a definitive decision, players should know that the quest to free the artist in Baldur's Gate 3 only really pays off in Act 3. In addition to that, the reward it provides is arguably pretty bad – it is exclusive, but some may not see the effort translated into gold or strong gear.

Letting Astarion bite you is an easy way to get approval with him. The simple answer is yes, as the only downside is gaining the Bloodless debuff, while Astarion gains the Happy buff and his approval rating of you increases.

Astarion is extremely reluctant to take the tadpole, as he recalls the pain of his vampiric transformation. However, he can be convinced. If Astarion's personal quest has not been resolved, he can be coerced if the player is half-illithid: [WISDOM] Enter his mind, tempt him with the wonders of your new-found form.

It is first important to establish that there are no significant consequences associated with consuming tadpoles and using Illithid Powers. Indeed, while some companions may disapprove of these actions, pursing them will not prevent friendship or even romance.

Gale does seem to be a bit of a love-hate character in terms of whether he comes across as charming, or an absolute creep, but either way, he is a romance option. Unlike a lot of the other characters, Gale's romance is a bit of a long haul, and you won't properly seal the deal until act two.

Should I let Laezel kneel to Vlaakith? ›

Generally speaking, you shouldn't force Lae'zel to obey Vlaakith. If she goes against Vlaakith, Lae'zel leaves for the Astral Plane at the end of the game and leads a rebellion to save her people. If she sides with Vlaakith, Withers implies that she meets a much darker fate during the epilogue party.

He will try to curse players with laughter, but it's completely harmless, and you can also try to resist it using the proper skill in Baldur's Gate 3. It turns out that the cursed monk wishes to meet his granddaughter, Shirra Clarwen, in the Open Hand Temple in Wyrm's Crossing.

But let's talk romance: while Baldur's Gate 3 has a number of intriguing romance paths, Shadowheart's is easily the most popular, with 51.3% players completing her romance arc (which you can find a walkthrough of here). It turns out she really is God's favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world.

Most games that have romances don't tend to venture into polyamory, but Baldur's Gate 3 does, and consent is a very big thing for the characters. Polyamory in Baldur's Gate 3 is centered around trust and consent, with some characters being against the idea and others are all for it.

Haarlep will give you the location of the Orphic Hammer and a key to Raphael's safe if you sleep with him (or her, if you ask him to turn into the Archduch*ess Raphael instead). Refuse him, and you'll be forced to fight him and a bunch of annoying imp creatures.

Returning it Unsealed Leads to a Fight

If you opened the shipment before returning it to Zarys, the whole Zhentarim hideout will become hostile to you and you'll have to fight your way out. They won't really put up much of a fight and you can farm some easy EXP and gold from them.

Delivering it to the correct location in Baldur's Gate 3 will open up further quest opportunities and rewards, but does entail working for a very shady organization. Non-evil characters may still want to do this, since Rugan and Olly are pretty low on the command chain and hurting them doesn't solve much.

2) Consequences of looting the Zhentarim Chest

It will immediately make Olly and Rugan hostile. One of the more interesting boss battles awaits here if you want it. Your reward for opening the chest is some gold and the Iron Flask.

The Zhentarim, also known as the Black Network, or simply Zhents, is a villainous organisation from the Dungeons & Dragons setting of Forgotten Realms, They are a faction of mercenaries and corrupt businessmen founded by the evil archwizard Manshoon.
