Companions come in all shapes and sizes in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, but few are as unique or morally perplexing as the Emperor, the Mind Flayer pulling the strings within your prism. An ex-assassin and thief in the city of Baldur's Gate, his previous life is shrouded in a ♑thin veil of mystery and intrigue.
Should you wish to garner some insight into that life or some of the arguably best equipment in the story's third act, we recommend you check out his stash within the Lower City. Available early into your journey of Baldur's Gate, we highly recom🍌mend taking this explorative detour.
How To Find The Secret Chamber Entrance Beneath Elfsong Tavern
As you wander past the Elfsong Tavern, the second building on your right after entering the Lower City for the first time, the Mindflayer will point out the building to you. This will automatically add the quest to find his hideout to your Journal.
Enter the building and pass through the first floor to the kitchen area in the back.
Although it is optional, we recommend you speak with Chef Roveer about the rats in the basement as you'll need to clear them out anyway. Return to hi🉐m when you're done for a large gold reward꧅.
In the back of the kitchen, you can find a ladder leading to the basement of Elfsong Tavern. Take it, and you'll find a cellar full of rats you must defeat.
We recommend either using a spell like and waiting for the rats to kill themselves running to you or lighting the wine on the floor on fire. Either way, kill them all to progress.
Stick to the left on the west side of the room and head toward the wine racks. As you enter this area, keep an eye to your right. At the end of the wine racks and to the right of the crumbling doorway in the storage room will be a button.
Press the button, and you'll open one of the wine casks in the room over. Go through the crumbling doorway and into the now open barrel.
As you approach the wooden door and advance the Hideout quest, we𓃲 do recommend pausing and ensuring that your party is combat-ready before continuing.
How To Defeat The Vlaakith-Sworn Githyanki
In the room ahead, you'll be ambushed by several Githyanki warriors loyal to Vlaakith. They will consist of:
- A warlock.
- A paladin.
- Several lesser fighters.
- Two conjuring Gate Masters (summoners).
Your priority should be in ridding the room of the two Gate Masters first and foremost. Their ability to continuo༒usly summon reinforcements will be a hindrance to ♉any progress.
You can take them out easily with two casts of , one on either side of the room on the balconies.
Once the portal-summoners are out of the picture, you can now focus on the warlock and paladin. They're powerful enemies that can be a real hassle to deal w⛦ith.
Thankfully, they're very susceptible to the spell. Cast if, i🙈f you can, and go all out against these two troublemakers.
After the two powerful enemies are gone, you can do a standard clean-up with the rest of the enemies in the room. While the Githyanki warriors are not exactly pushovers, they'll be far easier than tꦜhe beefier🍨 enemies you've already defeated.
Loot the bodies once you're done and explore the room at your leisure.
How To Enter The Emperor's Hideout
To continue to the Emperor's hideout, venture to the back of the room where the large statue is. Look around it, and you'll find what looks like it should be a stone doorway in the wall.
To the right of this doorway will be a hidden button you can find with a Perception check. Press it.
Inside this room is the Emperor's hideout. There will be several key items in this room:
|
Item |
Description |
Location |
|---|---|---|

Rare versatile +2 longsword. 1d10(1d8) + Strength + 2 Slashing damage.

O🍸n the weapon racks on the left side (when entering the ro🧸om) |
|
Cerebral Citadel Armor And Gloves |

|

On the middle shelf to the right of the wardrobe on t♊he ea💝st wall. |
|
Recipe For Fiddlehead Soup |
Sentimental item and cooking recipe. |
On the middle shelf to the left of the door on the nor💜൲thwest wall leading to the underground hatch. |
Loot all of these items to finish ♈the quest and earn the Emperor's gratitude (as well as fill your pockets with some highly valuable items).
Finding all of them will trigger the opportunity to follow the emperor's romance arc.
After you're done, you can leave the way you came or go down via the hatch. Be warned, however, that going down here will trigger Orin's kidnapping of a victim from your camp, so keep your favorite travelers close.
The sword particularly will be 𓂃useful in the fight against Orin, and the armor is decent enough. If you have no use for the armor, it fetches a top price of 3,200 gold. Enough money to warrant a trip to⭕ the Facemaker's Boutique, we reckon.
