Starting Blind the Absolute
How to Kill the Scrying Eye
The Blind the Absolute subquest commences when the player engages in conversation with Elder Brithvar in Grymforge. Brithvar apprises the player of the presence of an orb, known as the Scrying Eye, that hovers in the vicinity and impolitely requests the hero to obliterate it. Emphasizing the utmost importance of executing this task discreetly and without arousing any suspicion, the dwarf seeks the character's assistance in deceiving Nere. Upon agreeing to aid Elder Brithvar in his ruse, the Blind the Absolute subquest is set in motion.Approach the Scrying Eye from behind when it is scouting the area and employ the Hide action to entice it into trailing the character. It is crucial to avoid detection as failure to do so will result in the task's failure and the entire fortress becoming hostile towards the hero.
There are multiple methods to eliminate the Eye, with the easiest being to kick it off the cliff and into the lava. This straightforward and expeditious approach saves valuable time for the player.
Guide the hero to the cliff where the Defaced Statue of Shar resides after the Scrying Eye reacts to their actions and begins to follow them. It is advisable to regularly check if the Eye is still monitoring the hero during the journey.
Once the player crosses the small wooden bridge, they can proceed to eliminate the Scrying Eye. Prior to pushing it down, ensure that the Eye is oriented towards the abyss instead of facing the character, as some Reddit users have reported instances of task failure due to this. Take position behind the Scrying Eye and employ the Shove action, resulting in its descent from the cliff.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available for macOS, PC and PS5.
