How To Get Into Wyrm Rock Fortress In Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)

As you approach the final stages of Baldur’s Gate 3, one major obstacle stands between you and the fabled city of Baldur’s Gate itself – Wyrm Rock Fortress. This imposing fortification, situated on a rocky island just offshore, is controlled by the Flaming Fist. Gaining access to Wyrm Rock will be no easy task. However, we’ll explain step-by-step how to get into Wyrm Rock Fortress in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3).

How to Sneak into Wyrm’s Rock Fortress in BG3

Getting into Wyrm Rock Fortress is challenging, as the drawbridge is raised and heavily guarded. However, you can gain entry in several ways if you’re clever or persuasive enough.

Past The South Span Checkpoint

The most sensible option is to take the long way around by climbing east of the South Span Checkpoint. Follow the path up, jump onto the platform, and climb the ladder and boxes to sneak past the guards. Just be careful not to return the way you came, or they’ll stop you.

Then, you can try bribing or persuading the guards at the Southern Checkpoint. A successful Persuasion check may convince them to let you pass for 20,000 gold. Alternatively, a Deception check of 30 could trick them into thinking you have business with Ulder Ravengard.

Get into Wyrm’s Rock Fortress

After past the South Span Checkpoint, there are several methods available to grant access to the fortress. One possibility involves using persuasive language and social skills, possibly aided by bardic inspiration. However, these options are quite challenging, with two having a difficulty level of 30 and a slightly easier one at 25.

Open Hand Temple Murders

Investigating the murders at the Open Hand Temple can earn you an entry pass from Sister Yannis. Speak to her inside the temple after examining the crime scene.

Investigate the Suspicious Toys

Helping Arfur Gregorio with his toy investigation in Sharess’ Caress tavern is another way to blackmail him into giving you his pass. Upon investigating the Requisitioned Barn, you will discover that these toys are bombs.

Sharess’ Caress Pass

Feeling stealthy? After picking the locked door, you can pickpocket Jara’s pass from the Sharess’ Caress balcony, though disturbing her and Naoise starts a challenging battle. Or sneak around the guards again and climb down the prison entrance on the fortress side to gain covert access.

Dimension Door and Wild Shape

As a last resort, casting Dimension Door or Wild Shape can allow you to bypass the checkpoint completely – but these high-level spells and abilities may not be available to you.
