Baldur's Gate 3: Rugan or Zhentarim Chest?

Guide to Making the Right Choice in Baldur’s Gate 3

Are you ready to embark on an epic adventure in Baldur’s Gate 3? Well, before you go swinging your sword and slinging spells, there’s a decision you’ll need to make that could have some serious consequences. But fear not, dear gamer! I’m here to guide you through this murky situation with a healthy dose of humor and positivity. So, let’s dive in!

Meeting Olly and Rugan

After taking down a horde of Gnolls on the road, you’ll come face to face with Olly and Rugan, two Zhent employees. They’ve got a chest that needs to be delivered to the Zhentarim Hideout, and guess what? You’ve got the chance to be their trusty delivery person. Isn’t that exciting?

Alternatively, if you’re feeling a bit mischievous, you can also consider looting the Caravan Strongbox. Who doesn’t love some extra loot, right? But be warned, the fallout from either choice is pretty significant, and it might not be immediately clear what you’re getting yourself into, especially if you’re new to the game.

Consequences Unleashed!

Now, let’s spill the beans and reveal what awaits you when you open that chest. But hey, if you’re a hardcore role-player who wants to experience everything firsthand, you might want to step back and find out for yourself. Anyway, here are the consequences:

Isn’t that thrilling? Just picture yourself battling a Beholder while your heart races with excitement. Talk about an adrenaline rush! But here’s a little tip: opening the chest, even if you leave the contents intact, still counts as opening it. So, if you’re playing with friends, make sure they understand the consequences. Plus, who wants to miss out on that cool boss fight?

Side with Good or Greed?

Okay, listen up, completionists and morally conscious players. While helping out the Zhentarim might not be the squeakiest clean move (after all, they’re like the in-game mafia), there’s still a reason to turn that chest in. If you’re dead set on being a do-gooder, consider switching your party members to someone skilled in picking locks. That way, you can hand over the chest to those shady characters with a clear conscience.

The Delivery Dilemma

Wait, hold on! There’s more to this story. If you decide to deliver the chest to Baldur’s Gate and split the money with the Zhent agents, Rugan and Olly will be on cloud nine. But here’s the kicker: this choice also shuts down the Zhentarim plotlines, just like opening the chest. It’s a real catch-22, isn’t it?

On the other hand, delivering it to the correct location opens up exciting quest opportunities and rewards. But remember, you’ll be working for a rather shady organization. Decisions, decisions!

Conclusion

So there you have it, brave adventurers! The choice is in your hands. Whether you open the chest and face off against a fearsome Beholder or deliver it to the Zhentarim and explore their questlines, just remember to embrace the fun, laughter, and epic battles that await you in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Before I go, here’s a little reminder: Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently available in Early Access on PC, with the full release on August 3rd, 2023. Prepare yourselves, PlayStation 5 players, because the game will be available for you on September 6th, 2023. And for all you Xbox Series X/S fans, hang tight; a version is still in the works just for you.

Now go forth, my fellow gamers, and may your adventures be filled with laughter, excitement, and the occasional mischievous deed!
