Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Best Route to AC 1.. Share your guide Here..

I thought the crèche was still act 1?

Yup it Is..
But the Game was made in a way that Want yu to Chose between Rosymon or Iron Forge..
But i advice to Do Both before reaching act 2.
Especially if yu want to Save Isobel in Last LIght.. Get to lvl 6,7 before reach act 2.
(will Make things a Hell lot easy..)

I kinda create this Stuff Here becouse of that..
To alert People that yu Should Never Let anything Behind in this Game especially a Entire Map..
Yu will Lose A Bunch of Unique Itens, interactions and lvl if yu Follow the way the Game want yu to do..
And i really Hate this in this Game..
They Force your Hand to Lose Content when they should just Make the camp smaller to increase gameplay
Larian nonsense logic.. haha
(Instead of Cuting you out of Content they should Cut yu out of companions to increase replay of the Game.)

If yu Cant Bring all of then yu Will Have to Play it Again to See all the Tales of the Origins..
Get it ?! increase the Game by 300 hrs using this.
Larian Logic its crazy.
(Never understood why yu can Have all of then if yu can only Take 3 to roaming around)

Like yu should Never be Locked out of Content Just becouse yu Follow Laezel Quest First..
Wich in my opinion is a Big No No and a Big Mistake from Larian..
If yu Ever Played Table Top yu know your Best Bet to Get Rid of MInd Flayers are the Gith.. so in my First Run i went with Laezel and Shot on my Foot..
So i Learn from the Start that Larian make a Bad Call in her Quest.

It is, but sloppy game design makes it look - and function - as "something else". As stated above it is the alternative route to Grymforge but, unlike the Underdark, it comes with strings attached. Entering it concludes the Goblins versus Druids drama, is coded as a different area, etc.
So, in some ways it is and in some it isn't Act 1. Messy. Probably a legacy of not being included in EA.
So, one's perception and classification of that map may vary.
But I agree that without the Mountain Pass lvl 7 is not possible. Sightseeing alone, like I said, is worth 1-1,5k points. Kobolds and Magic Cats - c.1k. Quests (egg alone, by talking your way through, is c.500) and killing various sentients or Undead brings up the total to some 6k. Crazy!

I remember in EA (which topped at lvl5) players saying that they had enough points for lvl6. I've never seens any claims of lvl 7.
