I can see this is gonna be one of those games where I'm looking up what to do every 20 minutes, never played a baldurs gate game before and never played dnd

[cabbage_cat]

For now I know two ways that don't use the key:
1. If you are a barbarian you can just rip the pod open using a strength check
2. On sorcerer there is an arcana option (int check) on the console, probably works on other spellcasting classes

I got a 1 with both of the characters. Great start to my campaign

[Glacier]

I am running a Barbarian and basically you can use Barbarian Strength to rip open the pod (its a highish roll roughly 40% chance) so not always necessary to get the key.

Lol thanks for this I'm a day in and already looking for guides

[ldcgfx]

You can open it without the key. If you have a spellcaster, quicksave at the dialogue menu and attempt the Arcana check. If you win, the console can be controlled communing mind powers

I managed to roll a 1. Fuck me, I guess.

[MrSeals]

None of the bodies have anything to loot on them... the game just skips them completely when I click on them

[HippocritterXD]

this is bugged as fuck, i have the rune but i dont get the option to put it in the socket

[reddragon]

Sweet. I think I am gonna buy this game.
I have been seeing nothing but Very Positive feed back on it.

I am a elf and also a newbie. Not knowing how to free her, I left the spaceship thinking she was dead. I landed and found her awake not far from me. I did try to rescue her. I don't know if that has any impact on the game progression.

[piglite]

I rolled a low number did not put my hand on the console - so it rejected me and it seems like the console has locked me out, I’m playing as an Elf and could use a tip on how to free this character!! 😅

[alexis-ice]

i just started my campaign and i''m already here looking for a solution lol

[MessMyPants]

bruh i got a nat 1...., but i got a nat 20 on the brain creature so that was cool. second roll in the game (and i got it on video of the earliest possible nat 20??)

[ballisticbullet]

i already have the onyx but there is no option to use it

[nijulhefner]

Bro what are the green jars with brains for? I did a whole playthrough and did every quest in my journal, but still had the brains back at camp.

[TheStarkiller]

it is really a pain as a new one. i just thought I should not leave the room, simple reason ( i thought I wouldn't be able to go back)

[siegfriedxiii]

I played the old baldur's gate on the ps2 when I was a kid. So much is different in 3 compared to that one.. in a good way of course

[diana]

What happens if I didn’t roll high enough

[aeligos]

How do yo equip the rune to use it?
I have it in inventory but when I use the machine, it rejects me.
