How To Trigger Help The Cursed Monk Quest In Baldur’s Gate 3
To trigger the Help The Cursed Monk quest, players mustfind theSentient Amuletin Grymforge.Upon reaching Adamantine Forge, head west toX:-569 Y:228coordinates to arrive at an area surrounded by lava where a Lava Elemental is roaming around.
Head to the central platform where there’s a locked chest. There are two methods to open it; either jump to the northern platform and search a skeleton for the key, or use a lock pick to unlock it. Once the chest is open, take the Sentient Amulet to trigger a conversation with the spirit of the cursed monk.
He will try to curse players with laughter, but it’s completely harmless, and you may also try to resist it usingthe proper skill inBaldur’s Gate 3. It turns out that the cursed monk wishes to meet his granddaughter,Shirra Clarwen, in the Open Hand Temple in Wyrm’s Crossing.
Where To Find Shirra In Wyrm’s Crossing In Baldur’s Gate 3
Upon reaching Wyrm’s Crossing in Act 3,head to the Open Hand Temple, which can be found near the Circus of the Last Days, and enter. Speak with Sister Yannis, who is in a heated discussion with Detective Valeria, and ask about Shirra Clarwen. Sadly, she died a year ago and was buried in a crypt beneath the temple.
Go to the kitchen and follow the blood trail to see a wooden hatch. Interact with it and explore the area to find a double door at coordinatesX:6 Y:-1005. Open the tomb found in the corner of the room to find Shirra. The cursed monk will possess his granddaughter’s corpse and ask players if he should bestow his curse on them.
Refusing will lead to a fight with all the corpsesinside the room, and winning the battle will banish the cursed monk’s soul, thusending the quest inBaldur’s Gate 3. Accepting, on the other hand, will yield various rewards, butyour Wisdom will permanently decrease.
This scenario is avoidable by succeeding in rolling two Wisdom, Constitution, or Illithid options. It’s not necessary to roll for the same skill option as you may mix and match the available choices to get rid of the laughter. This way, players will keep their Wisdom, and obtain Tasha’s Hideous Laughter and Sentient Amulet (Very Rare), allowing you to castShatterandKi Restoration (Greater)once every long rest.
