Step-by-Step Guide: Rescuing the Gnome
As you explore the central region of the Blighted Village, heading north from the front gate, you’ll stumble upon a windmill. At this location, the gnome named Barcus Wroot is being taunted and tied up by a group of mischievous monsters. Your journal will update with the objective to “Rescue the Gnome.” To accomplish this, follow these steps:
1. Persuade the Tormentors
If you have a charismatic character like a bard in your party, conversing with Fezzerk, one of the tormentors, should be relatively simple. Initiate a dialogue with Fezzerk and opt for the following dialogue options:
- Ask, “What the hells are you doing?“
- Follow up with, “Let me rephrase that – why are you doing this?“
- Lastly, say, “Fun’s over – release the gnome at once.“
Demonstrate your authority and select the “Intimidation” option to assert your dominance. Note that this option is challenging but rewards you with a stat boost. Remember to save your progress before attempting this encounter in case you need to reload if things don’t go as planned.
2. Freeing the Gnome
With the tormentors convinced and out of the way, it’s time to free the gnome. Follow these steps:
- Head around the side of the windmill where you’ll find a doorway.
- Enter the windmill and locate the large spinning gears just beyond the ladder.
- Engage the brake lever to halt the contraption.
- Exit the windmill and approach the gnome to set him free.
By following these steps, you’ll successfully rescue the gnome from his predicament. Enjoy your peaceful resolution and the gratitude of Barcus Wroot as you continue your adventures in Baldur’s Gate 3.
