Baldur’s Gate Quests

We’ve finally made it to Baldur’s Gate!! It’s too bad that it’s not under better circumstances, however.

In the table below, click the links to find a walkthrough for each of these Baldur’s Gate quests. For the smaller quests, you’ll find their walkthroughs below the table while longer quests will link to their own pages.

Acquire the Gauntlets for Helsik

To begin the Acquire the Gauntlets for Helsik quest in Baldur’s Gate III, offer to steal the gauntlets for Helsik as payment for her help in entering the House of Hope during The Githyanki Warrior quest.

You’ll find the Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength on a pedestal in the Archive, which is on the western side of the House of Hope. Disable the trap by passing a Sleight of Hand check.

Next, head to the middle of the room and ungroup your party. This will cause the Archivist to stay with the group, allowing you access to the gauntlets. Walk over to the gauntlets with whoever will steal them and take them off the pedestal.

Afterward, return to the Devil’s Fee and speak with Helsik. You can honor the deal and hand over the gauntlets or if you pass a decption or intimidation check, you can keep them. You won’t get anything for handing them over and she won’t be too mad if you decide to keep them. Either way, the quest will be completed.

Avenge the Hag Survivors

This quest will start automatically after completing the Help the Hag Survivors quest. You’ll need to search for the Hag by progressing the Save Vanra quest.

Before doing that, however, make sure to mix the Hag’s Bane. Use the Ashes of Dried Fey Flower and any essence to do so. You can switch to the Extracts tab and then switch down to Essences. There will be a list of the ones you can make. It will require three Acorn Truffles, Gremishka Tails, Nightlight Fronds, Planetar Feathers, Swarming Toadstools, Sylvan Stones, or Timmask Spores.

Once that’s been done, you’ll want to check out the Save Vanra Quest Guide. You’ll need to complete that to finish this quest.

After doing so, return to Mayrina at Old Garlow’s Place to let her know that the girl has been saved (or not if you didn’t save her). You’ll receive the very rare Fey Semblance Amulet for doing both, which will complete the Avenge the Hag Survivors quest.

Deal with the Devil

To pick up this quest, speak with Korrilla on the 1st floor of Sharess’ Caress to be informed that Raphael is waiting for us on the top floor. Make your way up to Sharess’ Caress’s Upper Floor and enter the Devil’s Den.

During a dialog with Raphael, he’ll tell you how to free Prince Orpheus and provide the means to do so, asking for the crown to control the Elder Brain in exchange.

If you make the deal, then you’ll have to deliver on your promise (or betray Raphael later). If you decide to turn down the offer (you can come back and accept it later), there is a way to still get what you need and not side with the devil. We’ll cover that in our The Githyanki Warrior companion quest guide for Lae’zel.

Find the Missing Letters

Head to the Sword Coast Couriers across from the Open Hand Temple and speak with Danzo Arkwright there. He’ll tell you about some missing letters, and you can offer to help look for them.

Start by heading to the second level and speaking with the Pigeons there (you’ll need a way to speak with animals). They’ll tell you that something has been happening on the roof of the Open Hand Temple, so they have designated it a no-fly zone.

Head over there and make your way up to the room near the front of the building (I climbed up the bell tower and jumped down). Interact with the animal next to you (make sure Gale is at your party). Have him ask her to stop eating the pigeons. When she leaves, grab the bundle of letters and return them to Danzo to complete the quest.

Investigate Cazador’s Palace

To start this quest, speak with Ulma at the Gur Camp northeast of Arfur’s Mansion in Rivington. This quest coincides with Astarion’s Pale Elf quest. Please check out our The Pale Elf Quest Guide for how to complete it!

Rescue the Grand Duke

This quest technically starts in Act I when you learn that the Grand Duke was taken to Moonrise Towers.

During Act II, when you finally reach the towers, we’ll see the Duke just before fighting Thorm at the end of the act, where he’ll then be taken to Baldur’s Gate, which is Act III.

To finally progress towards completing this quest, you’ll need to start the Avenge the Drowned quest, which intertwines with The Blade of Frontiers companion quest. Upon completing those two quests, you’ll finally have a chance to rescue the Duke.

Return Rakath’s Gold

You’ll get this quest in the Lower City’s Counting House Vaults, which you’ll visit for The High Harper and Aiding the Underduke quests. After the Stone Lord escapes into the sewers and you dispatch the enemies left behind, speak with Rakath, who will request that you return the gold stolen from the vault to him.

To find it, you’ll need to chase him to the sewers, where you’ll find the Stone Lord handing the stolen gold over to Roah as payment for her services. She will then flee the sewers, leaving you to face the Stone Lord and his compatriots.

After you take care of them, you’ll be able to catch up to Roah at Nine-Fingers’ Guildhall. There, she will ask you to help her overthrow Nine-Fingers.

If you turn down her office, you’ll have to face her and her crew. Luckily, Nine-Fingers and her crew will come to your aid.

Once Roah falls, you can loot her for the stolen gold. Devlier, it is all back to Rakath, who will give you the key to a safe in the large vault as thanks. It contains some very rare armor.

Roveer’s Storehouse

You can pick this quest up at the Elfsong Tavern in the Lower City. Speak with Chef Roveer in the kitchen, who will ask you to take care of some rats in the storehouse.

Head down there (the entrance is in the kitchen) to find a horde of rats. Wipe them out, then head back up to the chef. Speak with him to complete the quest, and you’ll also be rewarded with gold.

Visit the Emperor’s Old Hideout

You’ll get this quest automatically when passing by the Elfsong Tavern. Enter the tavern and go to the kitchen, then head to the storeroom.

Once there, head to the other side of the room and through the door. Look for the broken wall section on the right and jump through it. If you pass a perception check, you’ll notice a button on the wall. Press it to open one of the wine barrels, revealing the path to the hideout.

In the hideout, you’ll find that a group of Githyanki have broken in. Approach them (if you want) to begin a conversation that leads to bloodshed.

Afterward, make your way to the statue in the back of the room and approach the wall behind it. This will prompt a perception check where you can spot a hidden button. Press it to access the hidden room and the Emperor’s old digs.

Approach the weapon racks in the center of the room to pass a perception check to find the Emperor’s old sword. You can also loot the Emperor’s Wardrove to get some gear and explore the room interacting with different objects (after passing a perception check) to learn more about the Emperor. This will complete the quest.
