The Ultimate Guide to Rescuing Liam in Baldur's Gate 3
Rescue the tormented Liam from Goblins' clutches in Baldur's Gate 3 with a cunning and stealthy party
When players first encounter Liam in Baldur's Gate 3, he is in a distressing condition, bound to a board and being subjected to physical abuse by Torturer Spike. Spike possesses the Mark of the Absolute, making it challenging to simply scare him away or persuade him to cease. His main objective is to extract information from Liam, and he will not accept failure.
It seems that Liam does not possess the desired information, so leaving him in this torment would result in his enduring eternal punishment. However, for those who wish to prevent Liam's perpetual suffering, Baldur's Gate 3 provides multiple avenues to accomplish this rescue.
How To Save Liam
Consequences and hidden information are uncovered in this article that the player's character may be oblivious to. Those who are dedicated to role-playing in the game may prefer to refrain from reading further and uncover these revelations on their own.
(Strongly Advised) Persuade Torturer Spike to release Spike with a generous payment (utilizing Illithid mastery, captivating performance, skillful manipulation, or insightful mind reading).
(Not Recommended) Neutralize the potential threat posed by the four Goblins in the vicinity before they harm Liam.
Pass a Slight of Hand check to unlock the shackles.
Speak with Liam and he will automatically escape afterward.
Attacking the Goblins is not advisable as it may trigger a chain reaction within the Shattered Sanctum. While some gamers may still desire to eliminate the Goblins, it is important to prioritize obtaining the Mark of the Absolute and ensuring the safety of all other innocent individuals present.
By persuading the mob to depart, players can successfully rescue Liam without attracting unwanted attention. In fact, players can attempt the Sleight of Hand check multiple times as neither Liam nor the adventurers face immediate danger. To achieve optimal outcomes, it is recommended to alternate party members during the conversation and Sleight of Hand checks.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
