You can get to them in several ways, each of which is full of difficulties.
In this guide, we will tell you how to get to the Moon Towers in BG3, how to find shadow-corrupted lands and resist the dark curse in them. Read about how to get through the Underdark and the mountain to start the second act of the game.
How to get to the Moon Towers in Baldur's Gate 3
Of Wildwoods You can go to the Moon Towers in Baldur's Gate 3 in one of two main ways:
- The first option is longer. Before Underdark lead four different roads, in the process you will gain a large number of experience points. Two vast areas, myconids and doorgars, are full of quests and mysteries, but they are not required to go to a separate location of the Underdark - Grimforge. An elevator from it leads to the northeast corner of the dark-cursed lands and is recommended if you wish to receive the blessing of Selune in the Last Light Tavern.
- Mountain contains a short path to the Shadowshrouded Battlefield, but it involves a mandatory fight with the undead. The githyanki nursery is located in the same zone. Traveling to the Moon Towers area will lead to a drow spider, Karniss, with a moon lantern, in the southeast of the area.
Once you enter the Shadowshrouded Battleground, you will need to counter dark curse, which is the only difficulty in getting to the Moon Towers in the Shadowfelled Lands. If ordinary light sources are saved at the beginning, then on the bridge in front of the Reitvin customs (X: -60; Y: -79) they will start to go out and something more powerful will be required - moon lantern.
As you explore shadow-stricken lands, you will encounter unexpected checks, meaning that opponents are likely lurking ahead. Use stealth mode to test this by the presence of the red zone of the enemy's vision cone.
How to get through the Underdark
There are only four entrances to the Underdark:
- Selunite outpost in the southeast (X: 154; Y: -264).
- Funnel under the lair of spiders (X: 140; Y: -150).
- Warehouse in the northeast (X: 152; Y: -70).
- Portal from Aunt Ethel's house in the southwest (X: 96; Y: -285).
A pair of enemy minotaurs with a large supply of HP live near the place of the fall from the lair of spiders. Keep your distance from them and don't bunch up, as they will use the ram and fly into the group of characters. Near the shore you will meet the doorgars, who will prevent the age to the Ebenozer, leading to their abode.
Use the doorgar boat (X: -6; Y: -209) on the bank of the Underdark to sail to Grimforge and in it with the help of a lift (X: -598; And: 381) to be in shadow-corrupted lands.

How to get through the mountain
From Waukeen's Rest Rune Circle, follow the mountain on the road heading west. As soon as you find yourself on an open road, a dragon will fly along with githyanki, with whom you need to negotiate or kill them, since Kudenos will block the desired age.
Follow the freed bridge leading to the new location Mountain . The further route to the area with the Moon Towers is a path due west and is not much of a problem, except that you have to fight a couple of Shepherds of death 6 th, Ghouls 3rd and Ghoul 6th levels.
Try to attack a group of enemies from afar to take them by surprise and take an advantageous position. If a character dies in combat, the Ghoul can fail his death test in one bite.
After defeating the opponents, go further along the road through the bridges and you can go to the southeast lands affected by the dark curse.

SPOILER ALERT. There was a little nonsense. Jaheira died during the Towers of the Moon. I followed the path of Selune, everything was fine, I didn’t take her into the squad before the battle. It was a pity to lose her, but after three restarts of the battle (in all of them she died, no matter how much she healed or threw protection), she scored and moved on with the plot. (I took her outfit and scimitars as a souvenir.) As a result, the meeting with Minsk in Act 3 surprised me. She appeared, taking Minsk with her. I don’t know what’s next in the plot, I’ll write as soon as I get through it.
Thanks a lot! After receiving protection, he went to the temple to the Githyanki and the buff disappeared. I only noticed this when I returned to the dark lands. I started looking for how to get the buff back and couldn’t. Only you write that you need to use the bell again (I sold it inadvertently).
Hello. We are glad that the guide helped - we will be glad to see you on our website)
Selune's blessing only helps against a weak curse; you can't go very far with it.
Hello. Thanks for the comment, clarified)
And if not one of the described options has already been ed for a long time and there is no choice. And without a lantern you can’t go any further, the rest is all gone. What to do then?
I got away by using haste potions on the entire pack. In three moves, the edge reached the lunar tower. There, in the necromancer's room, a lantern was stolen.
Hello. That is, Karniss left with a lantern (or received a broken one from him), the blessing of the pixie will not come out to receive and did not have time to open a teleport point at the Lunar Towers? (you can teleport to the last one)
You can try turn-based run with healing, haste, a short rest and using a dash in order to keep up with getting further in a turn. Then you will take Balthazar from the room, as the previous commentator said.
It is possible that the Blood of Lathander mace saves from the curse, you can get it at the mountain in Rosymorne's Citadel, but this needs to be clarified.
The mace does not help, checked, ran under the speed potion in 1 turn with Astarion, with double sprint and teleport
Thanks for the info. Maybe add a way to run under acceleration)
