Character Guides

Character guides help you understand key NPCs and companions in Baldur's Gate 3, detailing their importance and how they interact with your journey. From essential services like Withers to companion-specific quests, these guides offer insights into optimizing your party and progressing through the story.

Upon reaching the Dank Crypt, you can undertake the side quest Explore the Ruins. Inside, you will encounter Withers, an important NPC. Consider inviting Withers to your Camp, as he provides services for respeccing characters, reviving dead party members, and recruiting Hirelings. These services are available for a specific amount of Gold.

In the Hag's Lair, you will find Mayrina hanging in a prison cage. This area leads to a boss fight. Before the fight, explore the Acrid Workshop to find a secret escape route for long rests and healing, along with Hag-related treasures. One notable reward is the Staff of the Crone, a magical staff that can be given to Gale to help with his ailment or to any wizard-type character. The workshop also contains a collection of potions with mysterious effects.

The first main quest after the prologue involves finding a cure for the parasite. This objective leads to various characters and locations:

  • Emerald Grove: Learn about the missing Druid Halsin and other healers like Nettie. This ties into the How to Save the Refugees and How to Rescue and Recruit Halsin walkthroughs.

  • Goblin Camp: Priestess True Soul Gut suggests she can help with the parasite. Consult the Easiest Ways to Clear the Goblin Camp guide for strategies.

  • Lae'zel's Companion Quest: Lae'zel believes her people, the Githyanki, can cure the parasites. This leads to the objective to Find the Githyanki Creche. Refer to the How to Rescue Lae'zel page to begin her quest.
