The Sacred Pool is a Location within the Emerald Grove in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It connects to The Hollow and the Secluded Cove.
Overview[edit | edit source]
This sacred area is home to the 
Idol of Silvanus and the stage for druidic rituals such as the Rite of Thorns. Outsiders are not welcome here, though certain individuals may be permitted entry.
If the party approaches from the main entry, they will see the druids blocking the way. A cutscene will depict a confrontation between the druids and the tieflings over this. The tieflings Locke and Komira plead that their daughter Arabella is being held against her will, granting the 
quest. After this confrontation, attempting to enter the Sacred Pool will be granted to the party as Kagha wishes to speak with them.
The party can also encounter Volo for the first time, and offer to share a tale of the goblin attack.
Access[edit | edit source]
The main entry to the Sacred Pool is by descending the staircase from The Hollow at X: 251 Y: 547. An alternate entry is through the elevator in the southern ramparts of the Druid Grove at X: 242 Y: 480 which is initially blocked by a sleeping bear.
Sacred Pool[edit | edit source]
In the Sacred Pool, several druids are performing the Rite of Thorns using the Idol of Silvanus found in the centre of the pool.

To the south is Topaz the blue jay, whose nest contains a

Cliff overlook[edit | edit source]
Just outside the Sacred Pool and to the east is a path leading up to an overlook where Alfira can be found, along with a gilded chest containing the 
Cap of Curing. Two squirrels, Corinna and Spar, are painfully listening to her sing.
