![]() ![]() Unlike the warning from Act 1 to Act 2, this one is serious. Once you complete the Gauntlet of Shar, you’ll reach a pool that will give you a “no turning back” warning. To get it, you’ll need to enter the Mausoleum and go through a lengthy dungeon. Instead, the Moonrise Towers quest will eventually send you to collect an “artifact” for General Ketheric. Now, even that isn’t specific enough, as you can easily enter Moonrise Towers without triggering the major story moments that send you into Act 3. This is getting more into spoiler territory, but you’ll know you’re headed into Act 3 when you enter Moonrise Towers. ![]() When does Act 3 start? Image: Larian Studios via Polygon While a technicality, we do count this as reaching Baldur's Gate, some characters who want to meet you in the big city - notably Kith’Rak Voss - are actually in Rivington. Instead, you start in the outskirts of a city called Rivington, which is just outside of Baldur’s Gate proper - as in the drawbridge to Baldur’s Gate is in Rivington. You’ll start off the act with zero fast travel points and will need to collect new ones in and around Baldur’s Gate.įinally, we have to point out that you technically don’t start Act 3 in Baldur’s Gate. Important note: By the time Act 3 rolls around, you won’t actually be able to return to any areas from Act 1 or Act 2. By the time you reach the city, you’ll know the names of all the big bads and you’ll have a massive amount of quests to follow up on - once you get through the gates. This is a major turning point in both the story and the game. This took me a little over 60 hours, but can go significantly faster if you mainline the story quests and ignore most of the side content. You won’t reach Baldur’s Gate until you reach the game’s third act. When do you reach Baldur’s Gate in Baldur’s Gate 3? Image: Larian Studios via Polygon Warning: This guide contains vague story spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3 and its act-based structure. In this Baldur’s Gate 3 guide, we’ll tell you exactly when you’ll reach the titular city of Baldur’s Gate, and give you a quick rundown of what you’ll see before you get there in the first two acts. But after you’ve put 20, 30, even 50 hours into Baldur’s Gate 3, you may be wondering if you’ll ever make it to the big city. Perhaps the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 could offer the power needed to run Baldur’s Gate 3, but for now that console exists as speculation.Did you know Baldur’s Gate 3 is named after an in-game city? Assuming you’ve played the first few hours of the game, of course you do, because every character in the opening few quests wants to eventually meet you in Baldur’s Gate. And Larian currently has no plans to port the game to the Switch. While Microsoft is reportedly working with Larian to get past this, for now if you want to play the RPG on console you’ll need to go the PlayStation route.Īs for the Nintendo Switch, Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t run on the aged hardware. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s need for Xbox games to work on both the Series X and Series S means Baldur’s Gate 3 isn't coming to the latest Xbox consoles as Larian claims the technical limitation of the Series S means Baldur's Gate 3 can't meet the gameplay parity Microsoft requires between its Xbox machines. Unfortunately for fans of other consoles, there’s no word on whether Baldur’s Gate 3 will be ported over the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch. No Xbox Series X, Series S or Nintendo Switch support ![]() Being Windows 11-based the Asus ROG Ally does a good job at supporting Baldur’s Gate 3, not only running the game at a combination of low and medium settings with smooth frame rates but also offering full controller support ROG Ally Life has a rundown on its recommended settings for the Ally.įrom what we've heard, the Ally may be a better bet for playing Baldur’s Gate 3 than the Steam Deck, at least at the time of writing.
