Lady Jannath's Estate

The exterior of Lady Jannath's Estate.

Lady Jannath's Estate is a large manor located in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate in Chapter Three. It is found on the west side of town, south of the House of Grief.

Overview

Lady Jannath's Estate consists of four floors.

Throughout this area, you will find hostile Poltergeists, which have natural invisibility, can throw objects, fly, and perform ranged shove attacks. Unfortunately, it is best to avoid using any form of See Invisibility within Lady Jannath's Estate, as the game is likely to crash if you do so (as of v4.1.1.4494476), possibly due to the sheer density of invisible enemies inside the house.

Other hazards include Cursed Skulls. The skulls deal thunder damage and knock back the party. Use Silence to stop the skulls from casting their spells and then utilize remove curse or simply use throw a "thrown" bludgeoning weapon at them, which will destroy them in one attack.

Additionally, Golden Candelabrum scattered throughout are haunted by Vengeful Soul and Tormented Soul. These afflict negative auras on nearby characters, and the candelabrum will unleash the soul when destroyed.

Haunting

The estate exists in various states of haunting, depending on the status of the Free the Artist quest. If Oskar Fevras was spoken to in Act 1 and the quest is active, Tarhun Mnemonis will warn you that the manor has been taken over by poltergeists. If Oskar died in Act 1, the house will still be haunted but Mnemonis will say that Lady Jannath is in mourning. Otherwise, the manor is not noticeably haunted and instead hosts an opulent art show.

Ground floor

The ground floor is entered via the foyer, where floating furniture makes it immediately clear that something is amiss. Two large stairs on either side lead up to the first floor. Past these are a larder and kitchen on the west and east sides of the structure, respectively, each occupied by Poltergeist ×3.

Beyond these, at the north side of the structure, is a large stairwell connecting all the floors. Ascending this way can be treacherous due to the numerous enemies that aggro from above.

First floor

This level can be reached by the interior stairs or by an exterior balcony on the south side of the structure, which leads to the library.

Entering from the foyer stairs leads to a balcony guarded by Poltergeist ×2. Double doors lead to a stair to the second floor.

In a small library to the west, a Contractor's Record can be spotted on the desk (Perception DC 0). A locked (DC 15) strongbox contains Hand Crossbow +2, Arrow of Fiend Slaying ×6, and Arrow of Aberration Slaying ×6.

Second floor

Oskar Fevras and Lady Jannath can be found here as part of the quest Free the Artist.

Third floor (armory)

This floor is occupied by Cursed Skulls ×3 and Poltergeist ×2. Weapons of mundane and +1 quality can be found here, which the Poltergeists are happy to use against you. A Scroll of See Invisibility can also be found on a nearby table.

Fourth floor/Oskar's Atelier

This studio is filled with numerous interactable portraits. The portrait of Oskar Fevras can be combined with the easel here to open the door to a secret room. Inside a Rustic Chest can be found Letter to Oskar Fervas, a key item in advancing the quest Free the Artist.
