House of Healing in Baldur's Gate 3 - a former hospital in the desecrated lands, which became a haven for the undead who worship the goddess Shar and the Absolute. This location is not required to be visited in the second act of the story, but several important side quests are associated with it. There are a lot of valuables inside, and a powerful enemy awaits.
From the guide you will learn what quests are associated with the gloomy location, how to get into the most inaccessible rooms with hiding places, and how to discover all the secrets and the most important points of interest.
How to get to the House of Healing in Baldur's Gate 3
The House of Healing in Baldurs Gate 3 is located in the city of the corrupted lands. With the exception of moon towers, this is the largest building with a massive dome, which is clearly visible even on the map. Getting inside is quite easy: the front entrance is not locked. To get to the Healing House, do the following:
- Get Isobel's blessing at the Harper Tavern or/and find moon lantern in the desecrated lands.
- Go to the front entrance of the Healing House in the city center (X: -179; Y: -17), and enter the building.
Once inside, you will be forced to “get in line,” as Sister Sinda will ask you to do at the front desk. Don’t contradict her and just agree with the request; convincing a zombie girl is almost pointless.
In the wards of the hospital you will meet tradeswoman named Sister Lidwin. To gain access to her store, a Sleight of Hand or Deception check [DC - 14]. The assortment includes supplies, potions and poisons, as well as a powerful paralyzer, which will be useful when completing Act 3 of the game.
How to complete all quests in House of Healing in BG3
The age of the House of Healing in Baldurs Gate 3 is associated with three side quests. The game rewards these quests with valuable loot and new abilities, and completing one of the quests is a prerequisite for recruitment Khalsina into full-fledged companions. Next, we will look at all the quests related to the House of Healing in BG3.
Find Arabella's parents
After rescuing Arabella, siding with the tieflings in the Emerald Grove conflict and Goblin camps, travelers will meet the girl again in the desecrated lands. She will ask the heroes to find her parents in the hospital. As part of the quest, you will have to make a moral choice and find out the truth about the outstanding magical abilities of the young tiefling.
A separate article described a detailed walkthrough of the task. "Find Arabella's Parents".
Awaken Art Kulah
This task is a necessary condition for recruiting Khalsin to the squad. In the tavern harpers "Last Light" lies a warrior of the Fire Fists in a state of catatonia. The key to his awakening lies with the cruel and insane surgeon Malus Torm, in charge of the House of Healing. Defeat Malus Torm, claim the Old Lute, and awaken Art Kulakh with the melody of a familiar instrument for a chance to rid the corrupted lands of the Dark Curse.
Check out the full walkthrough of the task "Awaken Art Koolach".
Remove the dark curse
Although this quest is not directly related to the House of Healing in Baldurs Gate 3, it is only unlocked after completing "Awaken Art Koolach". In the quest you need to help Halsin find and restore the split personality of the spirit of the corrupted lands, and finally lift the Dark Curse by destroying its source - Keteric Torm.

How to Search the House of Healing
This section presents all the hard-to-reach locations in which valuable equipment, scrolls of magic and much more are hidden.
Cabinet
Surgeon Malus Torm's personal office is located in the northern part of the House of Healing. It can be accessed from the inside through the operating auditorium. An alternative option is to enter from the street, through the locked side doors, opened with a Sleight of Hand check [DC -10]. The room contains the following things:
- Poisoner's Gloves in a painted chest. When the gauntlet wearer makes a poison attack, their target will have to make a Stamina check or be poisoned.
- Key on the table. Unlocks the side doors from the office to the street.
Also check your local shelves for alchemical ingredients.
Healing House Library
The attic room in the Healing House dome can be accessed via the elevator located in the auditorium where Malus Torm is operating on the Troubled Patient. Take the elevator, exit to the roof through the hole in the wall, and enter the library through the broken window.
There are alternative options to get to the second floor:
- Steal the library key from Sister Cinda's personal chest, take the elevator and open the door.
- Go to the library along the vine, from the teleportation point to the cemetery and through the broken window.
In the library you will find two locked gilded chests [KS -10], which contain:
- Onyx and 186 gold.
- Elixirs of malice and heroism, snake tooth toxin, malachite, 66 gold.
Be sure to examine the bookshelves of the library for magic scrolls: you can find up to 5 pieces here.
Roof and attic nests
There are two nests on the roof of the Healing House:
- In the first one you will find gold and alchemical ingredients.
- The second contains an invisibility potion.
Also on the roof you can see a couple of skeletons sitting in an embrace: next to them lies a collection of poems. Based on the surrounding things, it can be assumed under what circumstances the couple died.
All the secrets of the House of Healing in Baldur's Gate 3
There are several important secret locations and NPCs in and below the House of Healing.
Anxious patient - can it be saved?
The Troubled Patient in Baldur's Gate 3 is a character being tortured by Malus Torm in the auditorium of the House of Healing. When the heroes first meet the head doctor of the hospital, he will be “treating the poor fellow.” At first, it seems that the patient can still be saved from death by defeating Malus Torm in battle. Is this really so, you will find out from the rescue guide Anxious patient.
Laboratory in the morgue in Baldur's Gate 3
The entrance to the Healing House morgue in BG3 is located on the territory of the cemetery, in the backyard of the building. Inside, in the necrotic laboratory, there is a lever - it allows you to open access to the caves connecting the morgue to the surface. To get into the laboratory, take the Spare Key from the body of the dead harpist in one of the morgue rooms.
The location of the key can be found in the detailed guide "Morgue in Baldur's Gate 3: lever and secret doors".
Why do you need a lever in a morgue?
There is a strange lever installed in the necrotic laboratory of the morgue. At first, nothing seems to happen after interacting with it, but in fact, activating it allows you to open the metal door in the morgue. Be sure to pull the lever if you want to explore all the rooms and the cave area.
Our website has a complete walkthrough of each secret room morgue in Baldurs Gate 3.
How to open a metal door in a morgue
To open the metal door leading to the cavernous area of the morgue without resorting to a difficult sleight of hand check, you will need to activate two levers in the following sequence:
- Use the lever in the necrotic laboratory.
- Pull the small lever near the metal door.
The metal door can also be opened from the inside by entering the morgue through the alternate entrance located north of the Healing House, near the fisherman's hut.
More information about what opponents are waiting behind the door, and what reward you can get for defeating them, was described in the article "Morgue in Baldur's Gate 3: lever and secret doors".
How to open a secret door in a morgue
The secret door is located in the hallway of the morgue and hides valuables that nurses removed from the corpses of the dead. To access the room, use the button that slides the false wall.

Thanks for the clarification, we’ve updated the article! But after being released, doesn’t the patient drop dead after walking a few steps? The battle with empty armor was described in more detail in the publication “The Morgue in Baldur's Gate 3: Lever and Secret Doors.”
For me, he just ran away screaming (quite cheerfully, after such torture). I don’t know what influences this - should I let him go through dialogue or should I quickly kill the Surgeon (I killed him in 2 turns)
Thank you very much, we’ll definitely check it out in the game!
