Walkthrough Find a Githyanki Manger in Baldur's Gate 3

The Githyanki Manger in BG3, or Illek Manger, is a special area guarded by Githyanki warriors. It is located inside the monastery Rosimorn and to get inside, it is necessary to through a mountain and subsequently fully explore the monastery.

How to Get to the Githyanki Nursery

To find out the location of the manger, you need find Zorra on the territory of the location Mintare, thereby killing the inhabitants of the sacred lands, the Githyanki patrol will have to find it yourself, without the help of third-party NPCs.

Find Zorra

Get to the Emerald Grove, located north of the Cliffs by the Road rune circle. Continue in a straight line until you reach retail space, where some NPCs have shops, as well as a forge. Not far from the dilapidated door leading to the prison section with Sazzay, find the required tiefling.

The character's location is static: he never strays too far from his shack.

Having invited Laesel to the squad, if she was absent, approach the tiefling and start a dialogue. In the process, you can allow your companion to negotiate on her own, which will give you additional “Approval” points, or, take the initiative yourself and not allow the warrior to torment an already frightened man.

Zorru will tell you that the last time he saw a hostile tribe was in the territory of the mountain translation, which is northwest of the Emerald Grove.

Having obtained the coordinates, interact with your companion once again: the girl will tell you what’s in the nursery is located - a device used to perform a “purification” ritual.

Find the Githyanki Patrol

Reach the extinct village, then proceed in a northwest direction and exit to the mountain . The further path will be blocked by a huge red-scaled dragon and Laesel’s relatives, led by Kitrak Voss. Speak with the Githyanki patrol leader.

The Githyanki are not known for their love of diplomacy: they are used to resolving conflicts of any type not with words, but with force. Therefore, in case of unsuccessful negotiations, will have to fight with all the warriors, except for the commander and the dragon - having given the order to deal with the uninvited guests, Kithrak Voss will saddle the fire-breathing beast and leave the patrol.

Reach the Githyanki Manger

Once the patrol clears the road, cross the bridge to enter the mountain area.

Soon you will come to the path leading to the monastery Rosimorn, where the entrance to the Githyanki nursery in BG3 is located. Get to the rune circle "Trielt Cliff"to pave the way.

The road to the Illek nursery will look like this:

You can get to the location in two ways:

• Short: use the cable car, to do this you must successfully a strength check [KS - 15].

• Long: cover the path on foot, while simultaneously defusing rejection mines and examining various points of interest (chests, mounds, etc.) to obtain additional consumables and gold.

Find the entrance to Rosimorne Monastery

Once on the opposite side of the Trielt Cliff rune circle, activate the teleportation point called Rosimorn's Abode and go to the main entrance of the monastery. A cut-scene will start, the characters of which will be Githyanki warriors and dwarves.

The main topic of conversation will be a secret artifact hidden in the depths of the monastery. As soon as the dialogue is completed, Laezel's relatives will hide behind a massive door. The party will not be able to go the same way because of the spell "Enchanted Security", superimposed on the input.

The workaround is through the window. Use Jump to cover the distance and end up in a room filled with containers of alcohol. Soon a drunken kobold will also crawl here.

In the next room you will see the same thing - barrels of alcohol and drunken monsters. Deal with them to clear the age to the upper floors of the monastery.

From the body of a drunken kobold scout you can pick up a weapon of unusual quality - ceremonial mace.

Subsequently, it will allow you to solve the riddle with ceremonial weapons and a stained glass window, as well as receive a unique item - Master of the Dawn's crest.

Find the entrance to the Githyanki Manger

Use the wooden platforms and other structures to reach the opposite side of the room, then proceed to the stone ledges. Use Jumping to reach the top level of the monastery.

Cover the distance to the pool and go to the barricadeIn order to destroy it later, one blow with a two-handed or one-handed weapon will be enough. Having dealt with the obstacle blocking the further path, turn left and move straight until you reach a cliff.

Use Jump again to get to the other side and go to the regular wooden door.

Having opened the door, you will find yourself at a dilapidated staircase leading down. Go down it to the lower level and destroy the next barricade blocking the path. Unlock oak door.

Explore the main hall, where the Rosimorn statue is located, and exit to the stairs leading into the bowels of the monastery.

Having gone down, you will find yourself at the door to the basement - this is where the entrance to Illek nursery.

Find a cleaning device that kills maggots

The further age is guarded by Githyanki warriors, who, upon noticing the intruders, will draw their swords. The carnage can be avoided either through successful checks or with the help of a warrior companion by selecting the option "Let Laezel answer".

Thus, Gish Faraag will send a detachment to Gustil Stornugoss — the chief healer of the nursery, Illek, who works in the nursery infirmary.

Find the nursery infirmary

To get to the nursery infirmary, unlock the heavy oak door and turn left at the first fork. Continue straight until you come to another fork and turn left again.

When you come across an oak door, interact with it to get into the infirmary. Go even further and you will find yourself in the chambers Gustil Stornugoss.

Dialogue with Gustil Stornugoss in Baldur's Gate 3: consequences of the elections

Gustil Stornugoss will calmly react to the arrival of guests, although he will not show the proper friendliness. It does not matter who will conduct the dialogue with the healer - Laezel or the protagonist.

There is only one outcome - immersion in zatisk for the sake of purification.

Laezel is the first to undergo purification.

If during a conversation with Laezel, before the purification device, you select the phrase: “Come on, Laezel. You deserve it", — the girl will be the first to plunge into the zatisk and undergo the cleansing procedure. The healing process from the larva will be accompanied by pain and suffering. It doesn’t matter which lines are chosen while watching the cutscene, the result is the same - the parasite will save the girl from certain death, and the Gustil device will self-destruct due to the high load.

The protagonist is the first to undergo cleansing

In order for the protagonist to be the first to undergo the healing ritual, in the dialogue with Laezel, select the following answer options:

• “Wait, Laezel. Me first."
• “We would never have gotten here without my help, so I want to get healed first.”
• "Lie inside."

Having accepted the larval carrier, the zaitisk will begin the cleansing process:

1. Test for "Intelligence" [KS - 12]: “Follow the doctor's instructions. Look for the larva", — the machine tries to find the larva, which, in turn, only “presses” harder into the brain in order to hide. The strength of the parasite grows, and the main character gradually comes to understand that the zaitisk is trying to take away from the host something more than just a “harmful parasite” (access to Test of Wisdom/2).
2. Test of “Wisdom” [CS – 15]: "Keep calm. Bring the car closer", - the larva resists, turning to ancient and powerful magic for help. The guest from the dream is also not ready to endure the suffering that the protagonist goes through (exit to Endurance/3 or Intelligence/4 challenges).
3. Endurance Test [CS – 18]: "Do not stop. Complete cleansing", — the device reaches the larva. It becomes clear that the liberation that the healer spoke about lies not in treatment, but in death. Thanks to the Guardian, the purification process is interrupted.
4. Test for "Intelligence" [KS - 18]: “Focus on this ancient magic. Add your own", — the larva enters into a kind of battle with the device.

As in the first case, the Gustil machine explodes, unable to withstand the force of the larva and Guardian.

Laezel, in turn, is furious: the girl is worried that Zatisk tried to kill, and not heal. A guess appears in my thoughts that Stornugoss is a traitor who deliberately did something illegal with the device.

The quest “Find the Githyanki Manger” will end here, and the mission of the companion “Githyanki Warrior” will be supplemented with a new goal - take Laezel to the inquisitor. The warrior will want to inform a high-ranking official that someone deliberately interfered with the work of the zaitisk and thereby damaged it.
