How to Enter the Arcane Tower in Baldur’s Gate 3

The Arcane Tower in Baldur's Gate 3 is a mysterious and intriguing location that holds valuable treasures and powerful arcane knowledge. However, gaining entry into the tower is no easy feat. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to successfully enter the Arcane Tower and explore its secrets.

Before you can even think about entering the tower, you'll need to deal with the turrets guarding its entrance. These turrets are formidable enemies that can make quick work of an unprepared adventurer. To destroy the turrets, you have a few options.

One method is to engage them in combat directly. Make sure you have a well-equipped party and use your most powerful abilities to take them down. Alternatively, you can try using long-range attacks to destroy the turrets from a safe distance. Spells like Fireball or arrows from a powerful bow can do the trick.

Once you've dealt with the turrets, you will need to activate the elevator that will take you up to the different floors of the tower. To do this, you'll need to find the Sussur Blossoms tree, which is located nearby. The Sussur Blossoms are the key to activating the generator that powers the elevator.

Once you've located the Sussur Blossoms tree, carefully gather a handful of blossoms. Be aware that these blossoms are delicate and require a gentle touch. Once you have the blossoms, you can proceed to the generator room.

To activate the generator, place the Sussur Blossoms in the designated receptacle and carefully follow the instructions provided. Once the generator is activated, you can step into the elevator and ascend to the upper levels of the tower.

As you ascend the tower using the elevator, be prepared for various challenges and puzzles that await you on each floor. The tower is a maze of arcane wonders, with traps and hidden treasures around every corner. Be sure to keep an eye out for any clues or hints that may help you navigate through the tower.

To make your exploration easier, it's recommended to keep a detailed map of each floor as you progress. This will help you keep track of where you've been and where you still need to go. Additionally, be cautious of any enemies or dangerous creatures that may be lurking in the shadows.

As you delve deeper into the tower, you may come across rumors of a secret basement that holds even greater secrets and treasures. To access this hidden area, you'll need to collect the Guiding Light Ring from a character named Bernard. Bernard is known to frequent the lower levels of the tower and can provide valuable information about the secret basement.

Once you have the Guiding Light Ring, return to the generator room and activate it using the same method as before. This will reveal a hidden passage that leads to the secret basement. Be prepared for even greater challenges and rewards as you explore this hidden area.
