Clearing the Grymforge Cave in Baldur's Gate 3: A Step-by-Step Guide

When you arrive in Grymforge in Baldur's Gate 3, you'll find the residents, who are True Souls, less than thrilled to see you. Their leader, True Soul Nere, is trapped in a cavern, and it's up to you to free him. But first, you'll need to clear the cave. In this article, we'll show you how to destroy the rocks blocking the cave and offer some strategies for beating True Soul Nere.

Destroying the Rocks Blocking the Cave

There are several methods to clear the cave in Grymforge, but using Smokepowder Bombs or grenades is one of the most effective ways. If you've been exploring the Underdark, you've likely collected a few of these bombs. Alternatively, you can seek out the missing gnome who has plenty of Smokepowder Bombs. If you already have a handful of these bombs in your inventory, you can use them to clear the rocks.

Using Smokepowder Bombs to Clear the Cave

To use a Smokepowder Bomb, simply drag it out of your inventory and place it next to the rubble. Make sure you and your party are at a safe distance before detonating the bomb. You can do this by firing a bow at the bomb or using a fire spell.

What Happens After Clearing the Cave

Once the rubble is cleared, you'll have the option to free True Soul Nere. However, this decision comes with consequences. You'll need to decide whether to side with Nere or take his head to the Myconid Colony. Your choice will depend on your previous decisions in the game.

Strategies for Beating True Soul Nere

If you decide to fight True Soul Nere, be prepared for a challenging battle. One popular strategy is to let Nere kill the dwarves first, reducing the number of enemies you need to fight. Then, use the environment to your advantage by pushing him into the lava. This will make the fight much easier.

Additional Tips

• Make sure to save before attempting to clear the cave and fight True Soul Nere.
• Use your party's abilities to your advantage, such as area-of-effect spells and abilities.
• Keep an eye on Nere's health and adjust your strategy accordingly.
