Baldur’s Gate 3 players reveal the content that they’re sure others have missed
Larian StudiosBaldur’s Gate 3 players are discussing what secrets, lore, items and other content they are all but certain most players missed.
It’s no understatement to say that Baldur’s Gate 3 is a massive game. The RPG has been widely praised for the sheer number of choices players have, many of which heavily impact the story.
Of course, that means there’s plenty of content most players will never see.
Now, Baldur’s Gate 3 fans are discussing the most specific, often hidden, pieces of content they’ve found, from lore details to items to story content.

The conversation was started by Reddit user Unlucky_Lifeguard_81, who asked the BaldursGate3 subreddit “What’s something hidden you are certain 95% of people miss?”
They started by sharing a stool found on top of the Arcane Tower in the Underdark, which can be broken to get a Club of Hill Giant Strength. While just an uncommon simple weapon, it increases the wielder’s Strength stat to 19, making it pretty useful, especially since you can find it in Act 1.
One user brought up the player and Lae’zel “raising their gith son together.” While the Githyanki egg you can obtain was originally just a quest item, the epilogue added in Patch 5 mentions the egg hatching and Lae’zel raising the child.
The egg will still hatch if you don’t romance Lae’zel, but the player appreciated the idea of the couple raising a child together, especially since Lae’zel “comments that she was forced to be a warrior, but their son can be whatever he wishes to be,” showing her drastic character growth.
Another shared the unique dialogue you can get if you unlock Minsc early and take him to Rivington. The Ranger is already known for having some great quotes, and calling the Githyanki queen Vlaakith “the leathery face in the sky” is certainly in character.
There’s also Barcus, the gnome you can save from the windmill in Act 1. While most players will see him here, many don’t know you can free him again in the Grymforge, and if you do, he can appear in Acts 2 and 3 – possibly undergoing significant character development based on your choices.
Many also miss the former mindflayer hunter Golbraith in Act 3, who gives you the very rare Abdel’s Trusted Shield. This is also a sweet homage to a player and their father, the latter of whom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and was only able to play in early access.
The sheer size of the game and number of secrets hidden within it means players will likely be finding more details like these for years to come.
