There are many situations players find themselves in during a campaign run of Baldur's Gate 3. Sometimes, without perfect skill or attribute rolls, disaster occurs. But there are a few encounters that are equally complicated that don't require any kind of check at all.
Baldur's Gate 3: Where To Go First
Baldur's Gate 3 starting locations can be a bit confusing, but this guide will set players on the right track towards the rest of the story.
When players heal Goblins about the execute somebody in the Underground Passage, players might correctly save Findal's life. But Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't make the scenario that simple and gamers are getting stuck trying to save Findal even after the battle resides.
Updated November 8th, 2023: Not far from where players begin their journey in Baldur's Gate 3, they'll find a secret underground passage. The door is hidden and overgrown with vines but diligent players that explore every nook and cranny of their surroundings shouldn't have trouble finding the location. Inside, players will notice a hurt NPC named Findal. Thankfully, it's not too difficult to save Findal in Baldur's Gate 3. To better help players with the process, the following guide now features a video.
This article divulges consequences within the game and reveals information the player's character may not know. Gamers committed to role-playing may wish to stop reading and find these things out for themselves.
Saving Findal
- Kill the Goblins quickly after entering the Underground Passage.
- Cast a healing spell on Findal.
Baldur's Gate 3: All Elemental Surface Types (& What They Do)
Elemental Surfaces in Baldur's Gate 3 aren't as important as they were in Divinity series, but BG3 players should still learn each Surface's effects.
The first part of this process is critical. When players start hearing the Goblins talking about killing the poor halfling, the player and the team need to attack the Goblins. Be sure to disable the Guardian Statues first or else risk disappearing in what will be a one-shot kill against most characters at this stage of the game.
The next part gives players more trouble. After clearing the Goblins, interacting with Findal, downed at 1 HP, only allows players to "speak" with him. He's barely alive and cannot respond. In Stealth, players can also pickpocket the half-dead man. The answer is not obvious, but the solution to saving Findal is to heal him with a spell. Change party members and get somebody who still has some kind of healing spell (it does not have to be a strong one). After healing Findal for any amount, players can interact with him and he'll safely make his way back to Druid Grove.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available in Early Access on PC and will be available on August 3rd, 2023. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
