Early on in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, you run into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a couple of Zhentarim🔥 agents besieged by gnolls, in the midst of transporting a caravan strongbox. If you save them from their attackers, they'll reward you with the password to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:their hideout beneath Waukeen's Rest. Soon after, Rugan—one of꧑ the agents—will e🦄ven offer you a drink. But then the quest just ends, with Rugan nowhere to be found.

While the Zhentarim still appear in Act 3, battling with the Guild, a lot of vital context was cut from the game alongside Rugan. Originally, he could be found at the Guildhall where he would reveal that the Zhents had been framed for the kidnapping of Duke Ravengard, leading many of their ranks to be hanged by the Steel Watch. Regardless, Ruga🔥n remained loyal to the Zhentarim—even under its "new management"—but with a good enough persuasion roll, you could convince him to resign his post, ultimately saving him from the bloodshed to follow.

As reported by , modder Nikjima has worked to , adding him back to Act🅠 3. You can find him at the Guildhall along with the other Zhents, where you can convince him to leave the mercenary company🌱 as in the cut content. If you do, you can even share a drink with him upstairs in the Guildhall at the bar. "No more disappearing after Act 1 after promising us a drink," Nikjima jokes.

Thankfully, the mod works with existing save files, so you don't need to start from scratch if you want Rugan to appear. However, you will need 🧸to have done the following:

Get rid of the gnolls in Act 1, and have Rugan survive the encounter.
Don't take the locked chest from the Zhents, and let him deliver it.
- If he gets tortured, he'll go into hiding.

Nikjima also warns that you can't kill Rugan if you want Rugan t♛o appear, w♊hich makes sense.

While it's a small moment between two travellers who stumbled across each other in the midst of very d♕ifferent journeys, it's nice to finally tie the knot on this oft forgotten little subplot.

Granted, it's understandable why Larian cut it, given that Act 3 was already criticised for overwhelming players with too much to do, but it was also critiqued for leaving plot threads dangling, soꦇ it's a shame that this one was left on the cutting room floor.
