Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Goblin Camp Tips for 2nd Playthrough

I'm on my second playthrough and I'm trying to find a different way to free Halsin besides killing everything that moves- which is what I did the last time. I'm finding it incredibly tedious thinking about killing 40 goblins once again, and was wondering if there's an alternative that doesn't include stacking explosive barrels around all the bosses (which is just kind of ridiculous that doesn't set off alarms) and then having to clear the party outside the castle.

I was reading generic guides that claimed the Priestess could be killed in her room without alarming everyone- but I've gone through every dialog option and each time we go to combat her first move is to call for help- aggroing the entire camp.

For killing Gut in her room, just don't talk with her there, go sneak attack and burn fast.

Tried that once already and she immediately took her turn and called for help- so didn't think it would work. Just tried again and blasted her down. 1 Down, feel like she's the worst though.

Guess devs improved her reactions. You can also try drinking sleep potion from her, someone will kill Gut tho I don't know if it won't turn camp hostile.

You can kill off most goblins in smaller clusters.

Always start by getting rid of war drums.

Courtyard
- Second level, sleeping goblins
- Ground level,
poison most in front of doors,
attack from close to portal
clean up those alive by the doors

Main hall
- Get Gut alone, kill her
- Kill the torturers etc in the small rooms
- Kill the remaining goblins in the main hall

Far left (three goblin discussing Wyll)
- Only six goblin will trigger if you initiate combat

Big red goblin
- Will not trigger anything but room

Small room before prison
- Will not trigger anythign else

Basically the only thing that triggers everything at once is if you attack Minthara. I feel a bit stupid for being as specific as ^

Cheesy Priestess Gut tactic: Go back to her room with her, close the door behind you kill her before her help arrives, leave through the door to her bedroom and go do other things maybe have a rest, return to the shattered sanctum through the main door, everybody's now non hostile.

Think its only true if you forget to destroy the drum and the floaty eye.

I have killed Minthara 1st, no one else triggered. Talked with her 1st and positioned my group before attack. Killed both clean and swift. Then time came for Gut to make space for a new priestess. Dror Ragzlin was the last and attacking him turned rest of them hostile. Mind you, I have done it before patch.

I'm on Dror now and when I start a fight in his room only the goblins/Elves inside aggro, but once he dies everything else in the castle becomes hostile (goblins don't actively seek you out but combat is initiated on sight- removing all other roleplay options from the area.

Granted it much easier to pick off all the goblins in small packs, but I was hoping there was some sneaky "Hitman-like" way of getting rid of the leaders without the rest of the band becoming aware of it.

You can kill everything outside from the top level with arrows and spells. First kill all the sleeping folks up top and the dude reading out on the point without aggroing everyone below - Hide - sneak to edge overlooking camp below - fire arrow/cast spell - walk back from edge a bit - hide. I take down the archers and spell casters first, after they're gone you really don't need to bother hiding anymore. Inside obviously you can take out everyone but the leaders one group at a time before starting on them if you're careful.

I killed Gut and the rest in main room without taking her back to her seperate room. We just went up into the rafters and nuked them all from above!

My main way is: Wyvern Potion on Gut. Make sure gobbo doesnt get to drum w/Minthara. Kill Raglin from rafters.
