The ruins consist of the exterior location – the [[Chapel Entrance]] – and the interior locations Refectory and Dank Crypt.
The ruins consist of the exterior [[Chapel Entrance]] and the interior [[Refectory]] and [[Dank Crypt]]. Four bandits can be found at the entrance standing guard while the other six are in the Refectory searching for loot.{{ref|If the party dropped the foundation block through the floor of the Chapel Entrance, the looters inside are immediately hostile.}}
 
Entering this area will grant the party 10 [[Experience|XP]] at level 2, 30 XP at level 3, and 40 XP at level 4.


A group of looters are canvassing the Overgrown Ruins. [[Gimblebock]], [[Quelenna]], [[Taman]], and [[Warryn]] stand guard outside in the Chapel Entrance, while [[Andorn]], [[Barton]], [[Cefrey]], [[Haseid]], [[Mari]] and [[Torgga]] loot the Refectory.{{ref|If the party dropped the Foundation Block through the floor of the Chapel Entrance, the looters inside will automatically be hostile.|note}}
=== Accessing the ruins ===
There are four entrances into the ruins:
* [[Chapel Entrance]] {{Coords|285|375}} - The door opens with {{Ability Check|Sleight of Hand|7}}. Alternatively, the party can convince the guard behind the door to grant them access into the [[Refectory]].
* {{Coords|285|305|Ravaged Beach}} - The door opens with {{Ability Check|Sleight of Hand|20}}. This entrance leads into a trapped room within the [[Dank Crypt]].
* Chapel Entrance {{Coords|315|365}} - The hatch opens with {{Ability Check|Sleight of Hand|20}}. The hatch leads into the Shrine of Jergal within the Dank Crypt.
* Chapel Entrance {{Coords|285|350}} - The party can snap the coiled rope holding up a foundation block. The force of impact will break the stone ground, allowing the party to jump into the Refectory.

The Chapel Entrance is an exterior location in the Wilderness. It covers the upper section of the Overgrown Ruins. Four looters have set up base here, and are arguing whether to continue looting, or to check out the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] to the south. The Chapel Entrance contains a door to the Refectory, and a hidden hatch to the Dank Crypt.

An Ornate Door with no visible lock or handle leads into the Dank Crypt, and can be opened by using a hidden switch behind a statue {{Coords|-174|-362}}. Succeeding at a [[Perception]] check is required to spot the switch. If the party fails to spot this switch, Dank Crypt can still be accessed by either destroying the door, or by lockpicking the Ancient Door found at the [[Ravaged Beach]].

=== Dank Crypt ===
The Dank Crypt (also known as Temple Ruins) is strewn with ancient sarcophagi and largely overgrown. One of the walls has collapsed, revealing a seaside cave that leads back to the [[Roadside Cliffs]]. A large statue of the god [[Jergal]] sits in the lower courtyard.

The southern room with a sarcophagus in the middle is heavily trapped. When the sarcophagus is opened, gargoyle heads lining the west and east walls will start firing firebolts into the room. Meanwhile, gas vents will start pouring flammable gas into the room, and [[Grease]] traps will flood the ground with [[Prone (Condition)|slippery]], [[Difficult Terrain]] and additional flammable surfaces. All of these traps require {{Ability check|Perception|15}} to spot. On the middle pillar on the eastern side of the room is a button that will turn off the traps once triggered; it also requires a perception check to spot.

The key opens the heavy oak doors to the north. When the sarcophagus is opened, gargoyle heads lining the west and east walls will shoot firebolts. Meanwhile, gas vents will emit flammable gas and [[Grease (surface)|Grease]] traps will flood the ground. All these traps require passing a {{Ability check|Perception|15}} to identify. Pressing the button on the middle pillar along the eastern side of the room will turn off the traps, but only after they have been triggered. The button does not require a perception check.
* The gas vents can be blocked by placing crates, vases, and other similar items on top of them.
 
* The vents, grease traps, and gargoyle heads can also be disarmed using a [[Trap Disarm Toolkit]]. Given the number of traps, the dearth of toolkits the party will likely have at this early stage of the game, and the fact that a toolkit will be consumed and the trap will be triggered if the attempt fails, this can be a risky option.

====Shrine of Jergal====
Behind heavy oak doors to the north lies a large, overgrown chamber centered around an imposing, skeletal statue. A {{Ability Check|Religion|15}} identifies the statue as Jergal, the divine scribe and former greater deity of death. There is a hidden button to the west of the statue at {{Coords|298|-232}}; a {{Ability Check|Perception|7}} highlights the button, but is not necessary to reveal it. When pressed, a secret door beside the button will open and the skeletons in the room (four [[Entombed Scribe]]s and one [[Entombed Warrior]]) will come to life and attack the party.
In the north room, an imposing skeleton statue stands at the centre of an overgrown chamber. The eastern wall has collapsed to reveal a seaside cave routing back to the [[Roadside Cliffs]], which can be accessed through a hatch at {{Coords|-250|-270}}. To unlock the hatch, the lever next to the ladder must be pulled.

* Attempting to manipulate the skeleton's positions by picking up or moving the bodies will instantly trigger combat
A {{Ability Check|Religion|15}} identifies the statue as {{CharLink|Jergal}}, the divine scribe and former deity of death.
In a small room west of the shrine can be found a [[Soul Coin]] in a sarcophagus. Reading the book [[Book of Dead Gods]] requires a successful Arcana or Intelligence Check (if wizard) or Wisdom (if Cleric or Paladin), followed by a Religion ([[DC]] 10) and Investigation ([[DC]] 10) check; succeeding earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|21x21px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]] ''Secrets of the Sundering'' ([[Sage]] background) and ''Divinity Undone'' ([[Acolyte]] background).
 
A {{SmRarityItem|Heavy Key}} can be looted from the [[Entombed Scribe|Entombed Scribes]] at {{Coords|-311|-252}} to unlock the Ancient Door near the Overgrown Ruins [[Ancient Sigil Circle|waypoint]]. South of the Entombed Scribe at {{Coords|-310|-260}}, a separate room toward the west houses additional sarcophagi and a {{SmRarityItem|Book of Dead Gods}}, which can be obtained at {{Coords|-321|-269}}. To read the book, a character must initially pass a {{Ability Check|Arcana, Strength|15}}. [[Wizard]]s may instead pass a {{Ability Check|Intelligence|10}} and [[Cleric]]s can pass a {{Ability Check|Wisdom|10}}. After the initial check, the character must pass a {{Ability Check|Religion|10}}, which grants the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|21x21px|link=]][[Inspiration|Secrets of the Sundering]] for [[Sage]]s and [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|21x21px|link=]][[Inspiration|Divinity Undone]] for [[Acolyte]]s. A {{SmRarityItem|Scroll of Ray of Enfeeblement}} will fall out of the book after succeeding or failing the Religion check.
 
Additionally, a {{SmRarityItem|Soul Coin}} can be found in this room within the sarcophagus at {{Coords|-324|-274}}.
 
In the main room with the statue, a button can be pressed at {{Coords|-300|-235}} to reveal a hidden room. However, pressing the button will cause the four [[Entombed Scribe]]s and one [[Entombed Warrior]] in the room to attack the party.
 
* The enemies can be disarmed before triggering the fight by looting their weapons.
* Lighting the candles and braziers throughout the room will prevent the enemies from capitalizing on dim light using {{SAI|Darkvision}}. Spells such as {{SAI|Fire Bolt}} can light the braziers near the ceiling.
* Attempting to manipulate the skeletons' positions by picking up or moving the bodies will instantly trigger combat regardless of whether the button has been pressed.

The Overgrown Ruins is a Location within the Wilderness in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. There are the remnants of what appears to have once been a chapel, though time has eroded many of the clues as to who exactly was revered here.

Overview

The ruins consist of the exterior Chapel Entrance and the interior Refectory and Dank Crypt. Four bandits can be found at the entrance standing guard while the other six are in the Refectory searching for loot.[1]

Entering this area will grant the party 10 XP at level 2, 30 XP at level 3, and 40 XP at level 4.

Accessing the ruins

There are four entrances into the ruins:

  • Chapel Entrance X: 285 Y: 375 - The door opens with DC 7 Sleight of Hand check. Alternatively, the party can convince the guard behind the door to grant them access into the Refectory.
  • Ravaged Beach X: 285 Y: 305 - The door opens with DC 20 Sleight of Hand check. This entrance leads into a trapped room within the Dank Crypt.
  • Chapel Entrance X: 315 Y: 365 - The hatch opens with DC 20 Sleight of Hand check. The hatch leads into the Shrine of Jergal within the Dank Crypt.
  • Chapel Entrance X: 285 Y: 350 - The party can snap the coiled rope holding up a foundation block. The force of impact will break the stone ground, allowing the party to jump into the Refectory.

Chapel Entrance

See main article: Chapel Entrance
The Chapel Entrance, showing the structure of the upper ruin, and looters prepared for an ambush.

The Chapel Entrance is an exterior location in the Wilderness, which spans the upper section of the Overgrown Ruins. Four looters have set up base and are arguing whether to hold their post, or to search the Nautiloid Wreck to the south. The Chapel Entrance contains a door to the Refectory and a hidden hatch to the Dank Crypt.

Several patches of Twisting Vines and a loose cracked stone may punish the unwary.

Refectory

The shrine inside the Refectory

The Refectory can be accessed via the Chapel Entrance[2] at X: 285 Y: 375. If the party fail to convince Andorn Andorn to open the door peacefully, he will plant a trap in the entryway, and all looters inside will be prepared for combat.

A total of six bandits are in the refectory. Their exact locations will vary based on whether they were alerted of the party's presence.

Within the Refectory, a door leading to the Dank Crypt at X: -178 Y: -322 can be unlocked by activating the switch at X: -174 Y: -362. The Dank Crypt can also be accessed by destroying the door or entering through the hatch or Ravaged Beach. This door can also be opened by entering the Refectory through the Dank Crypt and lighting the two candles adorning it.

Dank Crypt

The Dank Crypt (also known as Temple Ruins) is overgrown and strewn with ancient sarcophagi.

Trapped sarcophagus

The southern room with a sarcophagus in the centre at X: -293 Y: -325 is heavily trapped. It contains an Engraved Key and The Watcher's Guide. The key opens the heavy oak doors to the north. When the sarcophagus is opened, gargoyle heads lining the west and east walls will shoot firebolts. Meanwhile, gas vents will emit flammable gas and Grease traps will flood the ground. All these traps require passing a DC 15 Perception check to identify. Pressing the button on the middle pillar along the eastern side of the room will turn off the traps, but only after they have been triggered. The button does not require a perception check.

  • Gas vents can be blocked by placing crates, vases, and other similar items on top of them.
  • The vents, grease traps, and gargoyle heads can be disarmed using a Trap Disarm Toolkit. However, this is a risky option due to the large number of traps in this room and limited access to tool kits early in Act One.
  • The sarcophagus can be disarmed, which will remove the sole trigger for all the traps in the room.

Shrine of Jergal

In the north room, an imposing skeleton statue stands at the centre of an overgrown chamber. The eastern wall has collapsed to reveal a seaside cave routing back to the Roadside Cliffs, which can be accessed through a hatch at X: -250 Y: -270. To unlock the hatch, the lever next to the ladder must be pulled.

A DC 15 Religion check identifies the statue as Jergal Jergal, the divine scribe and former deity of death.

A Heavy Key can be looted from the Entombed Scribes at X: -311 Y: -252 to unlock the Ancient Door near the Overgrown Ruins waypoint. South of the Entombed Scribe at X: -310 Y: -260, a separate room toward the west houses additional sarcophagi and a Book of Dead Gods, which can be obtained at X: -321 Y: -269. To read the book, a character must initially pass a DC 15 Arcana, or Strength check. Wizards may instead pass a DC 10 Intelligence check and Clerics can pass a DC 10 Wisdom check. After the initial check, the character must pass a DC 10 Religion check, which grants the Inspiration Icon.pngSecrets of the Sundering for Sages and Inspiration Icon.pngDivinity Undone for Acolytes. A Scroll of Ray of Enfeeblement will fall out of the book after succeeding or failing the Religion check.

Additionally, a Soul Coin can be found in this room within the sarcophagus at X: -324 Y: -274.

In the main room with the statue, a button can be pressed at X: -300 Y: -235 to reveal a hidden room. However, pressing the button will cause the four Entombed Scribes and one Entombed Warrior in the room to attack the party.

  • The enemies can be disarmed before triggering the fight by looting their weapons.
  • Lighting the candles and braziers throughout the room will prevent the enemies from capitalizing on dim light using Darkvision Darkvision. Spells such as Fire Bolt Fire Bolt can light the braziers near the ceiling.
  • Attempting to manipulate the skeletons' positions by picking up or moving the bodies will instantly trigger combat regardless of whether the button has been pressed.

Withers

Withers, being awoken from his slumber, asks a question.

If the party enter the secret room and interacts with the sarcophagus within, Withers Withers will emerge to ask the interacting party member a question. He will later join the party as a Follower in their camp. Withers will offer resurrection, hireling, and respec services in the camp. Meeting Withers for the first time grants the Inspiration Icon.pngUnfamiliar Unfamiliarity for the Haunted One. If the party do not meet Withers in the Dank Crypt, he will eventually appear in the camp.
