Father Lorgan's Killer in BG3?

Quick Links


Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3 is a whirlwind of murder and chaos. The city of Rivington is on the brink of collapse, with tensions running high and a robotic police force cracking down on everyone. And to make matters worse, a beloved religious leader has been killed in what seems like a murder-suicide by a refugee he was protecting. But is that really the truth? Let’s uncover the mysteries and have some fun along the way!

How to Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders

When you enter Act 3 and arrive at the city of Rivington, you’ll notice a commotion outside the Open Hand Temple. Sister Yannis will point you in the right direction to investigate the murder of Father Lorgan. The investigator in charge, a Hollyphant named Valeria, is convinced that Brilgor, a refugee, is guilty. But is that really the case? Let’s find out!

First, head to the room on the South-Westernmost side of the temple and speak with Father Lorgan’s corpse. Yes, you read that right. Use the “speak with the dead” ability and question him about his death. Father Lorgan will reveal that Brilgor is innocent and that he was killed by a “dwarf dressed in red.” Don’t you just love talking to the dead?

Next, keep your death-speaking companion in your party and head outside. Instead of going through the hatch Sister Yannis mentioned, go through the door to the West of the kitchen and follow the stairs down to the graveyard. There, you’ll find Brilgor’s buried casket. Attack it to reveal Brilgor’s dead body and gather more details from him.

Now it’s time to head to the scene of the murder. Return to the kitchen and enter the hatch, which will lead you to the cellar of the temple. Follow the corridor until you reach a large room with two statues and an altar. Look for an interactable plaque called “heraldic sGameTopic” on the walls next to the statues. Press the buttons on both sides to open a secret wall panel that leads to the murder scene. How exciting!

Defeat the enemies, loot the corpses (including Dribbles the Clown’s body for another quest), and search the hole near the wooden platform to find the murder weapon, “Stillmaker.” Speak to the dead attackers if you’re feeling extra curious. Remember, talking to the dead is always optional but highly entertaining!

Where to Use the Flower Key in Baldur’s Gate 3

Congratulations, you’ve found the flower key! But what does it unlock? Head to Fraygo’s Flophouse, located through the South Span Checkpoint just North of the Open Hand Temple. Beware, this checkpoint may not be a walk in the park. Depending on your choices, you might need to fight, talk your way through, or find alternative methods. Flex those problem-solving skills!

Once you’ve made it past the checkpoint and arrived at Wyrm’s Crossing, find Fraygo’s Flophouse. Accuse the employee of being the murderer for some amusing dialogue, but more importantly, head upstairs to the messy attic. Look for a pristine-looking wardrobe that seems out of place. Unlock it with the flower key you looted earlier and enter the secret room. Check the desk to your right for a journal that reveals the twist: the murder is part of a Bhaalist plot.

Where To Find Investigator Valeria in Baldur’s Gate 3

Now that you have the evidence that Brilgor is innocent and the murders are part of a larger plot, it’s time to report your findings to Investigator Valeria. You can find her on the second floor of the Sharess’ Caress, just across the street from the Flophouse. If she’s not there, don’t worry, you’ll cross paths with her again later. Share your discoveries with Valeria, and she’ll propel you into a new line of quests centered around the planned murders and the Bhaalist cult.

There you have it, a thrilling adventure through murder, mystery, and talking to the dead in Baldur’s Gate 3. Get ready to unravel the secrets and save the day! The game is available now on PC, coming to PS5 on September 6, and an Xbox Series S/X version is in the works.
