Baldur's Gate 3 immerses players in a vast RPG world teeming with hidden gems waiting to be unearthed. As Act 3 unfolds, adventurers venture into the sprawling metropolis of Baldur's Gate, a city larger and more intricate than its predecessors. While initially daunting, thorough exploration unravels the city's mysteries, both on its streets and in its shadows.
Act Two introduces Gortash as a formidable foe, ruling as the city's Duke and commanding the fearsome Steel Watchers as his loyal sentinels. Surprisingly, Gortash's parents are alive and dwell inconspicuously in the Lower City, operating a modest store. Delve into their store to glean insights into the tyrant's enigmatic past, but beware of potential spoilers.
Locating Flymm's Cobblers
Your destination is Flymm's Cobblers, situated at coordinates (X:-36,Y:-111), adjacent to a small bridge near the Stormshore armory's southern end. Find the entrance by circling the building's rear, with the Lower City Central Wall serving as the nearest fast travel point.
Sally and Dravo Flymm, humble cobblers in the Lower City, harbor a dark secret. Engage Dravo and Sally to uncover the distressing truth - Gortash has enslaved them with parasitic control, reducing them to mere puppets. Sally discloses a harrowing past where they sold Gortash for gold during his youth.
Determining Their Destiny
The decision to spare or eliminate Gortash's parents rests with you. Even if Gortash falls, his parents remain imprisoned as puppets within their home. Should you choose mercy, discreetly end their suffering by closing the door to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Dispatching them rewards you with Mind Flayer Parasite Specimens.
Plundering Gortash's Chest
On Sally Flymm's body, you'll find Gortash's Chest Key, a pivotal item for unlocking a treasure trove. Claim the key through looting or pickpocketing and ascend to the upper floor to access the chest. Inside, a revealing book sheds light on the antagonists' schemes and hints at the elusive Helsik's involvement, should your party be unaware.
