Baldur's Gate 3 Full Walkthrough - Blighted Village
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for the Blighted Village in Baldur's Gate 3. It details how to approach the village and navigate the initial goblin encounter, offering options for deception, intimidation, or combat
Leave the Emerald Grove and head west, crossing the stone bridge to reach the Blighted Village.
As you approach the village entrance, you will be stopped by a goblin. You can use deception, intimidation, or Mind Flayer powers to get past him.
If you fail the check, you will have to fight the goblins.
After entering the village, you can explore freely. The goblins will not attack you.
In the house on the right side of the road, you can find three Ogres.
You can persuade the Ogres to fight for you. You can either pay them 500 gold or promise to share the spoils of war.
If you succeed, you will get a horn that can summon the Ogres to help you in battle.
Next, go to the house marked in the image below. This is the apothecary's shop.
Behind the counter, you can find the apothecary's ledger. Reading it reveals that he was researching a cure for a plague.
On the floor, you can find a wooden hatch. Open it to enter the cellar.
In the cellar, you can find a hidden passage behind a bookshelf. Pull the lever to open it.
The passage leads to a hidden laboratory. In the laboratory, you will find a talking mirror.
To get past the mirror, you need to answer its questions correctly. The answers are:
"I am an ally of your master."
"I am looking for a cure for a plague."
"I can offer you a way to get rid of your master."
If you answer correctly, the mirror will let you pass.
Behind the mirror, you will find a dark room. In the room, you will find a book called the "Necromancy of Thay."
To open the book, you need a special key. The key is located in a hidden room in the Whispering Depths, which we will explore later.
For now, just take the book. Reading it without the key will cause you to take damage.
After taking the book, you can explore the rest of the laboratory. You can find some useful potions and scrolls.
Leave the laboratory and return to the village. There are a few other points of interest.
In the blacksmith's workshop, you can find some blueprints for masterwork weapons.
In the center of the village, there is a well. You can climb down the well to enter the Whispering Depths.
After exploring the village, we will head to the goblin camp to the west.
