How to Get Assassin's Touch in Baldur's Gate 3

To get the Assassin's Touch in Baldur's Gate 3, you will need to complete the Rescue Sazza quest during Act 1 of the game. To initiate this Quest, you will need to head to Emerald Grove and visit the makeshift prison at the approximate coordinates of X: 194, Y: 578. Once you arrive here, you will need to enter the area, and the cutscene will play, with a Goblin being held prisoner by a Tiefling, who wants to kill her in revenge for her brother, who was killed in the Goblin battle outside of Emerald Grove.

At this point, you will need to step between the Tiefling and the Goblin and stop her from killing Sazza either by undergoing and succeeding a check or by attacking and killing her. Once you have taken care of the Tiefling, speak to Sazza, and she will offer an opportunity to lead you to the Goblin Camp and speak to Priestess Gut and Minthara, should you be willing to help her.

You will now need to find a way to sneak Sazza out of Emerald Grove. To begin, you will need to unlock the cell door. This can be done by using a dexterous character such as a Rogue or Ranger to pick the lock using Thieves Tools. Once Sazza is out and about, speak to her again, and tell her to follow you. She will now join your party as a temporary companion.

Once you have broken Sazza out of the makeshift prison, you will need to jump down onto the ledges behind this area. Upon landing, one of your party members should be capable of succeeding in a Perception Check to uncover the location of a hidden stone door.

Enter this door, and you will now find yourself inside a tunnel. There are a series of traps to look out for in this location, which will shoot fire at you if you attempt to move past. A quick workaround here is to use a character with access to the Mage Hand Spell, and use that Mage Hand to move past them, pushing the Rune of the Bear button on the other side - which will shut them off, enabling you to move past freely.

After bypassing this obstacle, you will now encounter combat against other Goblins. Thankfully, you shouldn't have too much trouble picking these enemies off with your party - you'll just need to ensure you keep Sazza alive. Lastly, you will need to disable a second fire trap, before finally making your way through the door, which will lead you to the gates of Emerald Grove. Sazza will now leave the party, and tell you to see her at the Goblin Camp. Now that you are outside, you'll need to travel through the forest to Blighted Village, before finally continuing to follow the path down the hill, and across the bridge into the Goblin Camp.

Once inside, you will be able to find Sazza speaking to Minthara at the approximate coordinates of X:333, Y:46. You will need to assist Sazza in this conversation by speaking up on her behalf to Minthara, which will cause her to gift you the Assassin's Touch as a result.

  • Deathly Slumber: Deals an additional 1d4 Necrotic Damage to creatures that are Knocked Out or Sleeping.

Now that you have this weapon, you can equip the item into any character build you wish. When it comes to potential choices, Rogues and Rangers are both great choices - particularly the Assassin or Gloomstalker Subclasses, as they can use their stealth abilities such as Gloomstalker's extra attack, or the Assassin's Sneak Attack and auto crit mechanic to best target vulnerable Unconscious and Sleeping opponents, proccing the Deadly Slumber mechanic.
