10. Steal the Sacred Idol: A Thieving Adventure for That Early-Game Advantage

This one is easy to skip if you're playing peacefully! You need to earn Mol's respect in the Secluded Cove, (by taking on the harpies, rescuing Mirkon). She asks you to snag a druid idol from the Sacred Pool. Success means loot: the Ring of Protection—awesome for early Act 1!

9. Free the Artist: A Multi-Act Quest with Spooky Rewards!

The Blood of Lathander In Baldur’s Gate 3 with Shadowheart Image

This spans Act 1 and Act 3! Free Oskar Fevras (held in the Zhentarim Basement), it goes way beyond this early rescue. It eventually turns supernatural in Lady Jannath's Estate (Act 3), resolving his issues and leading you to Philgrave's Mansion (requiring a Torch of Revocation), facing difficult moral dilemmas around a love triangle; the consequences resulting in those great rewards! You get unique rings and a charming painting!

8. Help the Spirit of the Amulet: A Lava-Filled Journey to a Powerful Artifact

Deep within the Grymforge, find clues (a journal) for a lost amulet. It means battling through Lava Elementals and the hot, bubbling lava lake in this intensely dangerous environment. The resulting reward after going through the trouble is really worth the effort – a powerful sentient amulet; also with an intense plot related to the spirit of the trapped monk, it involves intense puzzles throughout, culminating in the crypt under the Open Hand Temple (Act 3). That's a massive bonus for any monk build.

7. Find the Blood of Lathander: An Epic Mace with Divine Power

One of the best quests, Find the Blood of Lathander, gets tons of players who pass this by, requiring some major puzzle-solving skills to even achieve this epic outcome! The goal involves some amazing, intensely challenging puzzles throughout this intensely difficult and labyrinthine journey throughout various regions, finally leading you to find the legendary mace; culminating in a climatic moment where that difficult puzzle is eventually solved. This reward however, that Blood of Lathander mace, totally makes it worthwhile!

6. Punish the Wicked: A Sinister Interrogation with Spooky Rewards!

Find He Who Was (a Shadar-Kai) near the Ruined Battlefield; that creepy dude needs your help in a grim ritual – this literally includes some very intense interrogation involving a corpse! Edgar Allen Poe fans? Get that awesome Raven Gloves, summoning Quoth the Raven— a unique and valuable combat ally!

5. The Adamantine Forge: A Volcanic Battle Against a Volcanic Boss!

You can entirely miss this big area, its crazy boss battle, Grym! There are hints throughout the Underdark! And facing this seriously powerful enemy needs preparation, a lot of careful strategies and intense fighting, which may easily end in several total party wipes even when several precautions are used during these intense clashes! Winning rewards this absolutely epic helmet: the Grymskull Helm, plus the ability to craft two legendary mithril items!

4. Help the Devilish Ox: Smuggling a Unique Summon into the Endgame

One of the most unforgettable, oddly specific, and completely unusual quests features this very specific event involving helping this devilish Ox through various scenarios without alarming this beast and killing it, culminating in intense confrontations with very high-level enemies; creating amazing decisions involved in either assisting him into the City or defeating this huge beast to bring a very powerful ninth-level ooze monster. Saving this seemingly innocuous beast? Rewards: Summon it in the final battle; creating that amazing climax for this unforgettable quest!

3. Feed the Mind Flayer: A Mind-Bending Encounter with Illithid Power

That seemingly innocent abandoned windmill (Rivington)? It's hiding some serious stuff– an unconscious mind flayer in the basement, starving and very friendly to anyone with a penchant toward eating human brains. Wake it up? Or go for the outright kill? Regardless, there’s a loot waiting to be won; both options provide valuable illithid powers, but only the conversation gets you a cool bonus: Ring of Truthfulness— it helps those people who love those moments involving figuring out what exactly people mean.

2. Stop the Presses: A Time-Sensitive Quest to Boost Your Reputation

Talk to Ettvard Needle (Baldur's Mouth) for this tricky one: this urgent mission requires a response that involves time, needing some players to understand how to complete this particular storyline without causing problems elsewhere! He explains that you are being slandered! You need to head down, into that basement (the elevator) and sneak through the various areas and puzzles without turning hostile. Replace that negative article! Success results in more favorable treatment around town!

1. Impress the Murder Tribunal: A Bloody Path to Legendary Gear

Playing an evil character? This Act 3 quest (related to "Get Orin's Netherstone") rewards insane loot and delivers crazy Bhaal backstory (Cult of Bhaal)! The journey is brutal. Many innocent NPCs perish – depending on choices made by players. This ultimately ends with deciding who to kill—Valeria (becoming an unholy Bhaal assassin) or Sarevok Anchev (a classic Baldur's Gate villain) ! The choice involves legendary gear. The most rewarding option is by saving Valeria, offering that possibility to summon her in the climactic finale.
