How to Begin the Steal a Githyanki Egg Quest
You can pick up this quest from Lady Esther near the Trielta Crags fast travel point. She will ask you to steal a Githyanki Egg so that the Society of Brilliance can raise it in an attempt to see if it can overcome the Githyanki’s violent nature. You can choose if you want to get involved or not. Saying no will complete the quest while saying yes means taking an egg from the Creche. If you have Lae’zek in the party, she will not be amused. You can also attempt to pass a skill check to get paid upfront.
Search the Githyanki Creche for an Egg
If you’re going to steal the egg, head for the basement of the Rosymorn Monastery to reach the Creche. You’ll then want to head for the northwest side of the area to find the hatchery with a single egg. It can be found at the back of the room in a pool of acid guarded by 3 Githyanki.
Take the Egg from the Hatchery
You’ve got two options if you want the egg:
1. Try and take it with force. Picking up the egg will start combat with its trio of guardians that you’ll have to defeat.
2. You could persuade Varsh Ko’kuu to let you have it. Going this route, you’ll receive a pair of boots to make you immune to the acid, allowing you to collect the egg (or crush it). Equip them, then walk over to the egg and pick it up.
Take the Egg to Lady Esther
Once you have the egg, deliver it to Lady Esther to complete the Steal a Githyanki Egg quest.
Once you reach the Lower City of Baldur’s Gate in Act III, you can stop in at the Lodge to see how trying to raise a Githyanki worked out for them if you chose to give Lady Esther an egg.
