BG3: What is the Strange Ox?
Uncovering the Secrets of Baldur's Gate 3's Strange Ox
The Strange Ox is an astonishing creature, distinct from its fellow oxen. Despite its initial appearance resembling that of ordinary oxen when encountered by players, its peculiar behavior becomes apparent as soon as users engage with it using the methods outlined below.
Although initially appearing as a common creature, the enigmatic tale of this ox remains unsolved by players. Its unwavering objective is to reach Baldur's Gate at any cost. In one encounter, the ox will divulge a portion of its story, only to be followed by the haunting sight of numerous lifeless bodies, leaving even more questions unanswered. However, should the players opt to slay it, the ox will metamorphose into a kaleidoscopic monster resembling a gelatinous blob.
BG3: Where to Find the Strange Ox
If users are wondering where they can find this ox, they will find all the necessary information below:
The First Encounter
The first meeting with Strange Ox takes place in Act 1, within the Emerald Grove near the entrance to the Druid's sanctuary. It is often overlooked by players in this area as it stands alongside other oxen. However, once gamers hover their cursor over it, the ox will be identified as Strange Ox.
The Second Encounter
The Third Encounter
During Act 2, players will have the opportunity to encounter this ox once again at the Last Light Inn in the Shadow-touched Lands. However, in order to have a second meeting with the Strange Ox, it is crucial for fans to refrain from eliminating it during their initial encounter.
BG3: How to talk to the Strange Ox
The third encounter is set to occur in Act 3, specifically within The Hollow area. Positioned near the stone columns, it maintains its enigmatic nature, refusing to unveil its story. However, one thing that becomes evident is that it is highly improbable for it to be an ox.
Gamers won't be able to talk to the animals without additional actions, so they need to use one of the following methods:
Drink the Animal Speaking Potion
Use the Speak With Animals Spell
Transform into an animal
The last method is available only for druids.
Baldur's Gate 3 is out now on PC and is set to release on September 6th, 2023, for PlayStation 5. The Xbox version is also launching sometime in 2023.
