Moonrise Towers is a pivotal location in Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3, serving as a central hub for several main quests.

This area presents multiple paths and important decisions that impact the unfolding narrative.

  • Resolve the Abduction: You will need to address an abduction that has occurred, potentially involving important NPCs.
  • Exploring Moonrise Towers: This involves navigating the various sections of the towers, including Balthazar's Room, which contains a bookcase puzzle, an ancient altar, and a Moonlantern.
  • Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic: A key objective that progresses the main storyline.
  • Capture Isobel the Selunite Cleric: This task is part of the main questline and has significant consequences.
  • Rescue the Tieflings: Located within Moonrise Towers Prison, rescuing the Tieflings can lead to rewards such as the Potent Robe.
  • Rescue Wulbren: Another rescue mission within the prison, offering different methods and results.
