Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Question about poison fog and fire / Hidden area

Doesn't water clear fire, and fire clears poison/toxic fog on flooring?

I am going to be sort of vague here, so I apologize in advance. I killed people wearing mask of terror and mask of vengeance etc in a cave behind a gnarled door that is behind a fireplace.

After you beat them there are several toxic/poison pools you need to walk by but they do a significant amount of damage. I tried lighting them with fire and it explodes and burns, but then comes back to poison/toxic. I am not sure if that is expected behavior.

I did see a flower using perception and after I use the flower nothing happened. I attacked it which set of an explosion with the toxic/poison, but again it just comes back afterwards.

I am really sorry, I cannot remember the name of the area/cabin/enemies, but I think the gnarled door and fireplace should give away the location to anyone that has been there.

I don't mind getting a spoiler or a hint. I just want to know if it sounds like the pools are working as designed or something I have done should have gotten rid of them permanently by now.

Thanks,

So I ended up finding the little pressure pads that just need something on them to turn the poison off. I guess they could be just vents like RobertTheBard mentioned.

I just used the gear I had in my inventory and threw them on the pads. Someone in Steam beat you guys to it, but I do appreciate the feedback
