In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can return an artifact important to the plot in a very unusual way.

It looks like the makers Baldur’s Gate 3 provided all sorts of situations that could block the main questline. A player nicknamed Proxy Gate Tactician tried by all means to get rid of an artifact that was important to the plot and discovered a lot of new content.

In the third act, all three Netherian stones of the Crown of Karsus will be in the hands of the protagonist, allowing him to tame the Elder Brain in the finale of Baldur’s Gate 3. It seems that it would be worth losing three small stones, but no: the developers have taken care of almost all the situations in which the player can “seed” an artifact.

Proxy Gate Tactician was convinced of this from personal experience. In his video, he tried all available ways to get rid of stones. To his surprise, Larian Studios got creative with their return. In one of the situations, the player is helped by… a fish.

So you can try to leave stones in the underwater prison of Iron Throne, which self-destructs after every exit. In this case, the artifact will end up with one of the traders. But even if you kill him before visiting the Iron Throne, the stones will not be lost: they can be found in a fish on the coast of Baldur’s Gate, which swallowed them after the prison explosion.

Another unique encounter occurs when you lose Netherian stones in the Steel Guard Foundry. In this case, it is possible to find marauding kobolds in the game world, and the artifact will be found in their inventory. You can see all the situations in the video below:

As Proxy Gate Tactician himself admitted, he saw many of these situations for the first time in 1400 hours of play. It is possible that some of the content was added with updates.

Earlier, details emerged of a future major patch for Baldur’s Gate 3. And before that, it was announced that Larian Studios could release new parts of Fallout and Ultima.
