Alright, fellow adventurers, gather ’round because we’re on a quest to uncover the mysterious Ancient Tome, aka the Necromancy of Thay, in Baldur’s Gate 3. Get ready to dive deep into secret locations, tricky puzzles, and maybe face off against a few skeletons. Let’s roll!
How To Find The Necromancy Of Thay
Picture this: a secret laboratory beneath the Blighted Village, hiding the Necromancy of Thay. First things first, scout out the secret entrance to an apothecary’s basement. Head to the main gate, take a left into the first house, and find a hatch behind the counter in the room closest to the Waypoint. Sneaky, huh?
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Read the “Healer’s Log” on a table (it holds the key to a riddle later), then spot scratch marks near a large wooden cabinet. Move the boxes, find a hidden lever, pull it, and voila! A door opens to a yard of dug-up caskets and, you guessed it, undead skeletons.
Face the mirror, answer its questions right (no pressure), and avoid a fiery orb showdown. Venture into the lab, loot like a pro, and find the Rusted Key. Open the iron door, but watch out for traps. Disarm them, grab the Necromancy of Thay (careful, it’s trapped too), and now you’ve got choices – destroy it, give it to Gale, or keep it for a later quest.
How To Find The Dark Amethyst, AKA The Amethyst Key
Fast forward to the Whispering Depths for the Dark Amethyst. Choose your path – either down a well or knocking down a weak wall. Brace yourselves for spider mayhem, especially the Phase Spider Matriarch. Beat her, grab the Dark Amethyst on the other side, and voila!
What To Do With The Necromancy Of Thay In Act One
Back to camp, it’s showtime! Read the Necromancy of Thay, insert the Amethyst Stone, and get ready for a wild ride. Options galore – open the book, give it to Astarion, or keep it for later. Choose wisely, my friends.
What To Do With The Necromancy Book Of Thay In Act Three
Act Three, the grand finale! Trade the book’s knowledge for a sweet +2 Ability Score Points or delve deeper. Read the Tharchiate Codex, open the Book of Thay, pass some saving throws (Wisdom DC 20), and bam! Summon Ghouls at your command. It’s like having a squad of the undead on speed dial. Choose your path wisely, and enjoy the ride!
