Quest: Gather Your Allies
The "Gather Your Allies" quest is a crucial part of your journey, often intertwined with other major objectives in Baldur's Gate 3. This quest involves securing assistance from various factions and individuals to prepare for the ultimate confrontation.
Key quests that contribute to gathering your allies include:
- Consider Gortash's Bargain
- Disable the Steel Watch
- Get Orin's Netherstone
- Investigate the Murders
- Impress the Murder Tribunal
- Rescue Orin's Victim
Early in the game, at the Ravaged Beach, you will find Shadowheart unconscious on the ground (X:271 Y:217). Interacting with her presents three options:
- You should travel with me. Our odds are better together.
- I need to get moving, but you can shelter at my camp.
- I've wasted enough time here. Farewell.
Other quests and actions that can lead to gaining allies or valuable items include:
- Completing "Investigate Kagha" and persuading/sparing Kagha before "Rescue the Druid Halsin" rewards Druids with the Pale Oak staff.
- Considering Auntie Ethel's offer to eliminate the parasite at the Riverside Teahouse, though this is mutually exclusive with Volo's Ersatz Eye and Wyll's stone eye options.
- Rescuing Counsellor Florrick from Waukeen's Rest during "Rescue the Grand Duke" allows you to choose between The Sparky Points, The Joltshooter, and The Spellsparkler.
- Combining the Icy Helve (from Dhourn west of the Selûnite Outpost), Icy Metal (from the Pale Corpse in the Myconid Colony's secret area after "Defeat the Duergar Intruders" at X:50, Y:75), and Icy Crystal (from Filro the Forgotten near the Sussur Tree) forms a powerful item.
- Completing the "Help Omeluum Investigate the Parasite" quest grants a reward.
