Baldur’s Gate III – Don’t worry about resting too often, except when a quest tells you otherwise

Baldur’s Gate III – Don’t worry about resting too often, except when a quest tells you otherwise.

Whoa, wait up! Are you telling me you’re rushing through the main quest in Baldur’s Gate 3? That’s like sprinting through Disneyland, buddy! Seriously, you’re gonna miss out on some killer side quests if you blink. Now, some of these little beauties have timers, which might make you feel like there’s a ticking bomb in your head. Uh-oh! I felt that pressure too, what with that nasty little tadpole setting up shop in my brain.

Okay, you’re worried about this thing going all “Alien” on you if you take too many snoozes. You got it. But chill, Baldur’s Gate 3 is not the stickler for a time like Fallout was. This isn’t a race, my friend. Take a nap when you need it. Those big quest moments? They’re like well-trained dogs; they won’t budge until you give the word.

Watch out, though, ’cause there are these sneaky little moments where characters will drop a deadline. When you hear “the next day“, it’s code for ‘get some shut-eye and brace yourself’. Need a bit more insight into the clockwork in Baldur’s Gate 3? Stick around, and be aware that spoilers for Act 1 may be lurking around the corner.

The pressure of Kagha’s Ritual of Thorns

Let’s talk about Kagha’s Ritual of Thorns, situated smack dab in the Emerald Grove. Man, did that make me sweat! Now, it only really heats up as the Grove and Goblins plot thickens. I’m still scratching my head about the impact of that sneaky side quest, Investigate Kagha. There’s a whole bunch of “what ifs” here; like, what happens if you whisk Halsin back without poking your nose into Kagha’s business first?

The Assault on the Grove

Here’s the scoop: when the Drow Paladin Minthara talks about attacking the Grove the next day, she’s not pulling your leg. Hit the hay, and boom – you’re in battle mode. If you’ve got a soft spot for the Grove, forget about quietly offing the Goblin bigwigs at their pad. You’re going to have to stab them in the back during the chaos. Brutal, I know.

Take Your Time, but Plan Accordingly

Here’s the skinny: take it easy with Baldur’s Gate 3. Rest when you’ve gotta. Trust me; you’ll want to be firing on all cylinders when the big battles roll around. Just keep an ear out for any quest-givers dropping hints about timing, and play your cards right.
