Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Waukeen's Rest Inn Should Not Have Electricity

I am posting this here rather than gameplay problems because I don't know if it was intended.

In the burning inn in Waukeen's Rest, in the room next to Benryn (the room with two chests, where you are warned about the door), when you put water on the floor it becomes electrified steam...

For no obvious reason...

Even though the inn is not wired for electricity...

And this is new, because I have tried this before and didn't get zapped.

No, I am not carrying lightning items (although I did find one).

So basically, it looks like someone decided it was too easy to save the chests from the fire and made sure you will get damaged by that room no matter what.

I don't think a lot of things about that area are intended. This update is very buggy and a lot of things are not working as they should or missing from the game. Maybe you have those Boots that electrify water and blood surfaces or maybe it's just a random bug. I don't know, but that area is a bit of a cancer.

• The fire out-right refuses to be put out. It instantly reignites even if you drop a water barrel or cast rain
• The fire spreads during a conversation
• The passage way under the walkway to the Zhentarim Hideout is also obstructed by reigniting fire
• Benryn sometimes refuses to move all together
• Doors are inconsistently buggy
• And a few other things

Personally I'd make it like this:

• Fires spread at the beginning only, but can be put out afterwards
• Putting out all fires gives an inspiration point
• And naturally bugs fixed regarding that place

One year later and I'm wondering about the same thing. Electrified steam and electrified water in the inn, while i didn't have those Boots.
Guess we'll never know

It's a bug from Early Access still present unfortunately.

It has something to do with the way the game's script forcefully spawns fire in the Inn, but for some reason it creates electricity when trying to use water. At the very least it should create steam instead.

Right before I hit the inn I found boots that electrify water if you stand in it. Maybe you had those equipped?

I checked and I didn't have them. Besides, I was throwing the water furhter than where was standing.
