Quick Links in Baldur’s Gate 3: Saving Counsellor Florrick and All Valuable Items in Waukeen’s Rest
Many of the most memorable moments in Dungeons and Dragons, the tabletop RPG that inspired Baldur’s Gate 3, occur inside a burning building. Combat and skills are already intense but with an added time limit and the environment collapsing all around the party, these are moments players don’t forget. Baldur’s Gate 3 embraces this situation with a burning building and two poor souls stuck inside. If players aren’t quick, not only can the two people stuck inside die but the player and the party can die as well. For this reason, gamers will need to execute a very careful plan to rescue both of the victims.
Saving Counsellor Florrick
To save Counsellor Florrick, players must cast the Misty Step spell to reach him, speak to him, and destroy the Shatter Wine Barrel with spells. The biggest trick here is that the Shattered Wine Barrel can only be destroyed with spells and is immune to ranged and melee physical attacks. It does not need to be the character who saves Counsellor Florrick that destroys the barrel, it can be destroyed from safety outside by any caster in the party. Change party members and use anybody that has Misty Step to make this rescue.
Saving Benryn
To save Benryn, players must destroy the wooden door blocking him, enter Turn-Based Mode, talk to Benryn, and wait for him to walk out. The fire will not spread in the building until after players break the wooden door, so take a moment to plan properly. Break the door using spell attacks or melee hits, enter Turn Based Mode, use the Jump action to reach Benryn past the rubble, and use your highest Strength character to pass the check to lift the beam off of him. The door will explode when it is broken, dealing thunder and fire damage to anyone caught in the blast, so make sure to move your party away beforehand.
All Valuable Items in Waukeen’s Rest
There are only a few items worth looting in Waukeen’s Rest. The Joltshooter, The Sparky Points, and The Spellsparkler are three weapons that are possible rewards for saving Counsellor Florrick from the burning building. Players can only claim one out of the three by talking to Florrick outside the building. The Hamarhraft, an enchanted Maul, can be found inside a gilded chest on the top floor of the building. Faded Drow Leather Armor can be found on the body of a Dead Drow Raider in the main courtyard, next to the building where Benryn is located. Svartlebee’s Woundseeker can only be obtained by killing and looting Gauntlet Yeva, one of the Flaming Fists trying to push open the door blocking the way to Counsellor Florrick. This will turn all NPCs in the area hostile.
In conclusion, Baldur’s Gate 3 offers players thrilling challenges and valuable rewards in the form of saving NPCs and looting valuable items. By following the strategies outlined in this article, players can successfully navigate the burning building, rescue the trapped individuals, and claim the valuable items in Waukeen’s Rest.
