Learn how to get a shovel and find buried treasure in Baldur's Gate 3 to unlock the Dig For Victory trophy. Get tips on Survival Checks and where to find more loot.
Hey there! So you're aiming to snag that 'Dig For Victory' trophy in Baldur's Gate 3, huh? It sounds a bit mysterious, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you know what you're doing. Basically, you need to find buried treasure, and to do that, you first need a shovel. Let's get you sorted!
How to Get a Shovel
First things first, you'll need a shovel. If you don't already have one stashed away, the easiest way to get one is to head over to the Druid Grove. Look for a merchant named Arron; he's usually got one you can buy for some Gold. If you're trying to save every last coin, though, there's another option. Just before you reach the Blighted Village, there's a bridge with an abandoned cart on it. Check inside that cart – you might find a shovel there!
Finding Buried Treasure
Once you've got your shovel, it's time to go treasure hunting! The game is pretty cool about this; as you're exploring, your character or one of your companions might randomly attempt a 'Survival Check'. If you pass this check, you'll notice a small pile of dirt pop up. That's your cue! Interact with it, and your hero will start digging up a chest. Keep your eyes peeled and explore everywhere – you'll find enough buried chests in the first region alone to get that trophy. Don't sweat it if you miss a few, though, because there are tons more scattered throughout Act 2 and Act 3 if you need them.
A Little Tip for Those Tough Checks
Sometimes, you might find yourself failing those Survival Checks repeatedly. It happens! If you're really stuck and want to make sure you don't miss out, just use quick-saves. Save your game frequently, and if a check doesn't go your way, you can always reload and try again. It's a lifesaver for those trickier moments!
