As players take on the dungeons in Baldur's Gate 3, they'll spot the Book of Dead Gods inside of the Dank Crypt section of the Overgrown Ruins. As gamers take on the challenging encounters of the rest of the dungeon, it's appropriate to wonder if the book is a trap or cursed in some way.
But those who interact with the book will find there are no serious encounters, only a mystery Baldur's Gate 3 offers up. Beyond just being intriguing, the Book of Dead Gods provides concrete answers about the fate of deities that have been forgotten.
This article divulges consequences within the game and reveals information the player's character may not know. Gamers that are committed to role-playing may wish to stop reading and find these things out for themselves
The Book Of Dead Gods
- A tome detailing the names of gods who died and were brought back to life by the Second Sundering.
Gamers will need to succeed on some rather difficult check both in a row to figure out what the Book of Dead Gods is. Gamers who chose to play a Wizard can cast a spell for the first check while other classes can either use the Arcane or Strength skills to get the lock off. After that is a difficult Religion check. If players set the book down in between checks, they can not try again.
Knowing this, those who play with friends should choose the party member with the highest Religion skill to attempt the sequence. Succeeding on the first check yields a Ray of Enfeeblement scroll as a reward.
Aside from this, the second check is purely a lore reward but it is a great one. Knowing which gods still live and which ones are dead is fascinating information for a mortal to have.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available in Early Access on PC and will be available on August 3rd, 2023. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
