Can You Go Back To BG3 Act 1 from Act 2 or 3?
There are restrictions to return to Act 1 and it is only possible until you have not completed Gauntlet of Star in Act 2. If this objective is done then Act 1 is locked and you cannot return. Before this, you can still return and play over the main quest. You cannot play the remaining side-quest, however, the region will be available for exploration.
when you cross the Mountain Pass or Underdark you will get a choice that this is your final chance to return and complete your content. This is where Act 1 ends, and you enter Act 2. But the main quest and exploration is available, you can pass back to Act 1 regions from the same point.
So this was all about how Act 1 ended in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you are unaware of which act you are in then read our guide BG3 Identify Act Guide.
