In a game as massive as Baldur’s Gate 3, it can be a mystery if you’ve seen all there is to see. Bౠetween story quests, sub-quests, and the occasional conversation between party members, there’s a ton of content and — to be honest — not a lot of time to spend exploring the world.
I personally subscribe to the latter, as in the PlayStation 5 version, the trophy for entering Act 2 doesn’t pop until crossing the threshold into the Shadow-Cursed Lands. In any case, to help you ensure you’re doing the most of what you can do in Baldur’s Gate 3’s middle act, here’s a BG3 Act 2 checklist:
Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) Act 2 Main Quest List
It should be noted first that Act 2 plays out very differently depending on your choices to this point. So, we’ll be pointing out if certain quests are mutually exclusive. Here are all the main quests in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3:
- MAIN QUEST: Infiltrate Moonrise Towers
- SUB-QUEST: Seek Protection from the Shadow Curse
This sub-quest covers from the moment you first encounter the convoy to either defeating or defending the convoy and securing a Moonlantern.
- SUB-QUEST: Follow the Convoy
This sub♏-quest is only▨ applicable if you decide to defend the convoy and follow it to Moonrise Towers.
- SUB-QUEST: Capture Isobel the Selunite Cleric / Resolve the Abduction
This sub-quest has two sides to it — if you can defend Isobel when Marcus comes to abduct her, you can avoid this sub-quest altꦛogether.
- SUB-QUEST: Find Ketheric Thorm’s Relic
It would appear this sub-quest is an alternative means of ending up at the Gauntlet of Shar, if you are siding with🥂 Ketheric and the Absolute.
- SUB-QUEST: Find the Nightsong
This sub-quest mostly deals with your decisio🍃n to either save or kill the Nightsong in Act 2, but it won’t be completed until you face off with the wizard Lorroakan in Act 3’s Lower City.
- SUB-QUEST: Defeat Ketheric Thorm
♚This sub-quest will come as a result of sending Ketheric Thorm backꦬ to his grave.
