BG3: How to Halt the Printing Press
Embarking on this quest requires precise navigation and strategic decisions. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to thwart the press’s nefarious plans:
- Initiating the Quest: The quest begins by heading to the Baldur’s Mouth Gazette basement, nestled within the Lower City. The Basilisk Gate serves as the closest waypoint, with coordinates X:72, y:-75 guiding your way.
- Infiltration and Access: Upon arrival, the first challenge is accessing the basement. Lockpick the elevator and activate the lever located on the left wall. This grants you entry to the heart of the operation.
- The Steel Watcher Challenge: Inside the basement, the presence of vigilant Steel Watchers is noticeable. In case you haven’t previously destroyed the Steel Watch Factory, stock up on invisibility potions to discreetly maneuver past the Watchers and ensure an unhindered passage.
- The Plate of Transformation: In your journey through the basement, you’ll discover a crucial plate located at coordinates X:-1020, Y:1065. This plate is pivotal in transforming the impending article from malicious to benign.
- Altering the Headline: Progress to the final door opposite your location. As you enter, a printing press beckons for interaction. At this juncture, the plate previously obtained proves its significance. Using alternate plates might result in refusal.
- Stealthy Departure: With the headline successfully altered, your final task is to exit unnoticed. Employ invisibility once more to elude the vigilant Steel Watchers. Safely reach the elevator, lock the doors, and discreetly exit through the main door.
By sneaking in invisibly, changing the headline, and slipping away undetected, you can stop the presses from printing libel against you in Baldur’s Gate 3. Your reputation remains intact!
