Act Three

Lens will hail the party as they pass by on the way to Wyrm's Crossing. She is collecting information about the refugee and closed-city situation, and can direct the party to the Baldur's Mouth Gazette to begin the quest Stop the Presses.

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

If the player has not already encountered Orin twice, she may appear as Lens and ask several questions about their victory over Ketheric and plans for the Netherbrain. The real Lens' corpse can later be found in Bhaal's temple.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.

Meeting one of Orin's impersonations for the first time earns the Inspirational Event Personal Relations (Haunted One background). Completing Orin's "interview" earns the Inspirational Events Press Release (Noble background) and Blabbermouth (Entertainer background); these inspirations are not available if the real Lens is present, as an interview will not actually be conducted.
