Located within the Shadow-Cursed Lands of Baldur's Gate 3, the town of Reithwin houses the Tollhouse, exclusively owned by Gerringothe Thorm. Players have the option to engage in conversation or engage in combat with her. Once Gerringothe is defeated, the party can collect a variety of valuable gold and treasures from within the Tollhouse.
Notably, there is a secure safe near Gerringothe's usual whereabouts, along with numerous other rooms within the Tollhouse containing valuable gold and enchanted items. However, one particular room may captivate the player's interest: the Seized Inventory. The primary challenge lies in the difficulty of gaining access to this room.
The Problem (BG3 Seized Inventory Vines)
The entrance to the Seized Inventory lacks a door, instead, it is obstructed by a group of Shadow-Cursed Vines. Like other objects in the game, players can target these vines, but they possess Medium Toughness.
Medium Toughness indicates that the vines won't take any damage unless a damage source inflicts a minimum of 22 damage. When struck by such hits, the vines will endure the full extent of the damage, but they possess 160 hit points. At this stage of Baldur's Gate 3, achieving a 22-damage blow from a single attack is quite challenging, and players may need to sacrifice multiple spells to break through this obstacle. Fortunately, there exists a simpler alternative to gain entry, albeit with its own drawback.
The Solution (How to Get Inside the Seized Inventory in Baldur's Gate 3)
Instead of dealing with the vines, it is advisable for players to utilize the ladder positioned directly in front of the Seized Inventory room. Adjoining the room, there are several planks serving as a roof, some of which are loose. The game will draw attention to these loose planks if the party successfully passes a Perception check. These planks possess four hit points and lack toughness, meaning they can be broken by any character's attack.
However, there is a challenge involved in transitioning from the roof to the Seized Inventory room, as it will result in the loss of either 9 or 10 hit points. Furthermore, party members will need to leap from the Inventory room to the ground below, incurring an additional loss of 10 hit points. To circumvent this damage, players have the option of utilizing a Feather Fall potion or spell, making it a preferable choice over attempting to navigate through the vines. Employing the turn-based mode will aid players in maximizing the effects of the spell, and utilizing the overhead camera view will enhance their ability to accurately aim their jump into the room.
Another option is to use Mage Hand to toss the inventory out of the window. A flying familiar or party member can also gain access to the room either from above or below, while a character with a strong jumping ability can leap in from below.
Inside the Seized Inventory, the shelves hold various valuable items. One set of shelves holds a Greataxe +1, a Scroll of Color Spray, a Crystal Ball, and a Selunite Prayer Book. Additionally, players can obtain a set of valuable bowls from another shelf. Lastly, a locked chest in the room contains Fireheart, a necklace that inflicts Heat on the wearer whenever they sustain Fire damage. Heat causes the character to take 1d4 damage each turn, but they can consume Heat to inflict additional Fire damage during their next Fire attack.
The Seized Inventory in Reithwin Tollhouse contains nothing of utmost importance, but it is more challenging to access compared to the other loot in the Tollhouse. Players might have to invest some time and resources to obtain it, but the additional gold they will acquire will be worthwhile.
