Most valuable treasures in Baldur's Gate 3 aren't immediately obvious. They're hidden underneath giant boulders or behind a secret door in a dungeon. But there is a simple bag of valuables lying in a device that is fairly easy to spot.
While gamers may want to reach in and grab it, Baldur's Gate 3 also makes it clear that this crevice is home to spiders who are swarming all over the pouch. Players can, of course, leave the pouch be and forfeit the treasure, but where is the fun in that?
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.
Getting The Pouch In The Rocky Crevice
The following is recommended for getting the coin pouch:
- Reach in for the bag.
- If the character succeeds and gets the bag without provoking the spiders, reach in again to attack them.
Although the spiders might seem dangerous, this is one of the easiest encounters at this stage of the game, especially if the character has a full party or is playing with friends. Attacking the spiders is essentially free experience that every gamer should take. This means that failing the check is not only alright but it's also encouraged. Gamers who succeed can still stick a hand in afterward to provoke the spiders afterward.
Either way, the player will be in possession of the coin pouch. With a successful nature check, gamers will already know the pouch itself contains a spider egg, which is a convenient grenade-style weapon that comes in useful during difficult combat encounters. Mark any worthless loot as a ware and escape with extra experience and gold.
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.
