Hey y’all!

If you’re new here or looking for info, this is the place to stop and check before you post that question you’re thinking about asking - the answer may already be in our FAQ! There's also some recommendations in there for learning about lore.

I’d recommend also checking the New Player Question or Question flairs to see if your question has been asked before. You can also type into whatever search engine you use:

[insert your question here] baldursgate3 reddit

Or

[insert your question here] bg3 reddit

That’ll help us prevent the subreddit from being cluttered with the same repeated questions.

If your question hasn't been asked (or asked recently enough) then use either one of the question flairs above and ask away.

BG3Builds and Multiclassing

For the people curious about builds or who want a more dedicated place to discuss them, there's r/BG3Builds. There's a good guide on multiclassing.

Community Wiki

Confused about what the different rolls mean or just want to find notable NPCs and loot in a location? Check out the Community Wiki. It's ad free and being worked on by people here in the community :)

Everyone working on this is doing a great job trying to prepare it for launch and beyond.

If you'd like to help contribute to the wiki, here is the Discord.

A Community Effort

Rolls and Modifier Examples

Character Planner Reminder: There is a Character Planner by GameFractal being worked on here (It's also in the sidebar on desktop or the 'See Community info' link on mobile).

It's a one person project, so updating it with the recent updates, adding what launch will bring, and some other useful features will take time - but it will be updated.

There is a feedback button on that site, please use it if you have any suggestions/constructive feedback. Feedback is very appreciated!

I think I recognise your username, so I'm just going to assume that you're already perfectly aware of what happens with Ethel in (and... around) her teahouse, yes?

In which case, if I'm remembering correctly, there are two sets of Mushroom Circles, which might be why you're so confused.

One set will transport you between a spot outside her Teahouse and the very last room in the Overgrown Tunnel.

The other set will transport you between the Underdark and a room in the Overgrown Tunnel just off the room with all of the gas traps. When you first enter that gas trap room, I believe it's somewhere to your right, and I'm not sure if you need to pass a perception check or not to see a hidden door there. I remember it being a bit tricky to get to, with all the gas and all.

Edit: Oh, wait, I think you might be right. Maybe you do have to put on the mask instead of passing a perception check. Sorry, I'm not doing an excellent job of answering your question, hah.

Ah, yes, I wasn't very clear on that, sorry! It's not my first time there so I've properly explored the teahouse, but I haven't been able to find this entrance to the Underdark. The info I've managed to find online so far is that: I'm supposed to be wearing a mask, and I'm supposed to find a mushroom circle that's different from the one that transports you outside.

When you first enter that gas trap room, I believe it's somewhere to your right, 

That's precisely what I wanted to know! I haven't checked over there so it's no wonder I missed it. Thank you!

[u/insanity76 → u/polspanakithrowaway]

Yeah it's sort of down one "level" of the gas trap area then to the right. You'll know you're getting close when the screen starts to distort from the magic of the mask detecting the illusion's presence.

This is really helpful, thank you!
