Navigating the sprawling streets of Act 3 in Baldur's Gate 3 introduces players to some of the most intricate side quests in the entire game. Among these, tracking down the scattered remains of a beloved circus performer stands out as a massive logistical challenge. Initiated at the Circus of the Last Days in Rivington, this quest requires a keen eye and thorough exploration across multiple major regions of the lower city.
Starting the Search in Rivington
The bizarre hunt begins after encountering the ringmaster Lucretious, who desperately wants her star attraction returned. You quickly discover that the performer has been dismembered, with his individual body parts hidden away in discrete locations guarded by dangerous absolute cultists. The first piece, his severed hand, can be found relatively close by at the local circus grounds, sitting on a plate at Popper the Kobold's prize wheel stall.
Stealing the hand requires careful positioning or using stealth abilities to avoid alerting the nearby guards. Once secured, you will need to plan a systematic journey into the deeper sections of the city to locate the remaining six pieces. Each area presents unique environmental threats, making combat preparation absolutely essential before exploring.
Scouring the Lower City Surface
Several body parts are hidden inside residential buildings scattered throughout the primary city grid. The severed torso is tucked away inside the dark basement of the building next to the Open Hand Temple, accessible through a hidden hatch. Meanwhile, exploring the rainforest house near the Counting House yields the severed pelvis, which rests inside a locked structure.
For the severed arm, players must navigate toward the Peat House located near the southeastern docks and break into the basement storage area. Another piece, the severed leg, is stashed deep within Lae'zel's old hunting grounds inside the basement of the house near the Central Watch Tower. Tracking these down demands high perception checks to locate hidden trapdoors and wall buttons.
Delving Into the Sewers and Underbelly
The final and most perilous locations require adventuring into the expansive underground sewer network beneath the city streets. The severed foot is hidden in the Undercity Ruins area, specifically inside a small alcove near the ancient portal waypoint. Finally, the clown's severed head is carried by a dangerous enemy lurking near the entrance of the temple of Bhaal area.
Defeating these underground guardians requires high-level tactical combat skills and strong crowd control abilities. Once all seven unique pieces are safely gathered in your inventory, return to the circus grounds to present them to the ringmaster. Completing this elaborate scavenger hunt rewards your party with powerful endgame spellcasting gloves and significant experience points.
