Stop the Presses

Stop the Presses is a quest in Chapter Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It can be started by speaking with Estra Stir in the Lower City.

Objectives

• Talk to the editor of the Baldur's Mouth Gazette.
  • We met a journalist, Estra Stir, who told us we're set to star in the next edition of the Baldur's Mouth Gazette. We should find out why.
• Stop the Baldur's Mouth Gazette printing slander.
  • Ettvard Needle has written an article for the next Baldur's Mouth edition that will ruin our reputation. We must stop it from printing.
  • We found a test printing of tomorrow's article about us - it'll be disastrous for our reputation. We need to stop it printing.
  • We found the Baldur's Mouth printing press and it looks like we can change which headline article is printed in tomorrow's edition. To save our reputation, we should do just that.
  • We befriended Jelliwig, a fey creature within the Baldur's Mouth printing press, who'll swap tomorrow's headline article for us. We just need to find a replacement article.
  • A discarded article in the Baldur's Mouth building reflects positively on us. If we find the printing press, perhaps we can get it published in place of the planned hit-piece.
• Print a puff piece in the next broadsheet.
  • We found a positive headline about us to load into the printer - we just need to figure out how.
  • We found a positive headline about us for Jelliwig to load into tomorrow's edition before it prints.
• Check the next edition of the Baldur's Mouth Gazette.
  • We swapped out the negative headline with a different one we found in the Baldur's Mouth building. Tomorrow's paper should no longer damage our reputation.
• We didn't stop the negative headline printing - and our reputation around the city is in tatters.
• We destroyed the Baldur's Mouth printing press - preventing the negative headline about us from being printed.
• Ettvard threatened to ruin our reputation, so we ruined him. Today's paper should instead cover his demise.
• The Baldur's Mouth headlines should be singing our praises - we should see if the city's populace noticed.
• The Baldur's Mouth headlines won't be mentioning us at all now - leaving our reputation intact.
