To make it easier to find a shovel in Baldurs Gate 3 and other items, use interactive map.
Shovel near Cliffs by the road
Perhaps this is the 1st shovel that will meet as part of the age. It is set in a suspiciously bulging patch of ground near the crash site of the Illithid ship.
Shovel in Overgrown Ruins
Near the main door to the Overgrown Ruins, a tool is left lying quietly on the stone floor. It's quite hard to see visually, so use Alt, being near the door to highlight.
Inside the Overgrown Ruins you will find not only treasures, but also a valuable assistant. Find out in the guide how to get through the dark crypt and find the withered one.
Shovel in the Forest
In the Forest location there is a stone bridge with a looted wagon leading to the Extinct Village. Check the crates in this wagon. There is almost guaranteed to be 1 shovel inside (tested in 2 playthroughs).
Shovels in the Extinct Village (near the frail bugbear)
In the Dead Village, someone hurriedly tried to bury their valuables, but did not have time. Enter the settlement from the north by jumping over the broken bridge, go through the gap in the wall and see a sleeping drunken bugbear. Nail the creature in a dream by stealth. Near it there is a stone with 2 shovels sticking out of the ground, and a chest peeking out of the ground.
There are many interesting quests in the extinct village. For example, in a separate guide, they showed all the endings of the task "Save the gnome».
Shovel in the Extinct Village (camp)
There is another place in the village - a small camp with a fire on a hill. It is located a little far from the houses, but still in the territory of the settlement. The shovel is left on the stone, next to the fire.
Shovels in the Extinct Village (pharmacist's cellar)
You will find two tools at once during the age of the side task "Search the basement". One was left at the table in a cave with coffins (careful, undead inside). The second is in the same place, but in the corner, on the rocks.
Shovel in the Emerald Grove
Located in the camp at the gate, but is private property of other NPCs. However, nothing prevents the heroes from quietly stealing the item.
Where to buy a shovel
There are merchants in the game who are ready to exchange the desired item for a small amount in the region of 2-3 gold. One such character is Arron from the Stone Hall. Trade with him and buy a shovel.
How to use a shovel in BG3
To use a shovel, it is enough that it is simply in the inventory of the active character. What to do next:
- Look for suspicious mounds, which hint that the earth in this place was dug up earlier. In order for them to become interactive, the heroes must spot them by ing a Survival ability check.
- With the help of a character who has a shovel in his inventory, click LMB on the mound noticed by the squad .
After pressing the hero will begin to dig the ground and, most likely, will find something worthwhile.
The shovel does not work - what to do?
It happens that when you click on a mound, a character with a shovel in his inventory starts to behave strangely and complain that he cannot dig up the soil, i.e. behaves as if the tool is not actually in its inventory. There are 2 ways to cure the shovel bug:
- Throw the shovel out of inventory and pick it up again.
- it on from one character to another.
Use a hero with a ed shovel, and he will easily dig up a mound.
