Sacred Pool

The Sacred Pool hosts the Idol of Silvanus, and is the heart of the Druid Grove.

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

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.

Upon approaching the main entry, the druids bar the tieflings from entering the Sacred Pool. The party can interact with Locke and Komira, who plead for the release of their daughter Arabella, which initiates the quest  Save Arabella. After the tieflings are turned away from the entrance, the party can enter the Sacred Pool as Kagha wishes to speak with them.

Access

The main entry to the Sacred Pool is accessed 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 Emerald Grove at X: 242 Y: 480. However, this path is initially blocked by the sleeping bear Tuffet.

Sacred Pool

In the Sacred Pool, several druids perform the Rite of Thorns using the Idol of Silvanus at the centre of the pool. To the east, Volo the trader is interviewing Bosk. The party can share a tale of the recent goblin attack with him. To the south is Topaz the blue jay, whose nest contains a Shiny Key that opens the shiny chest atop a pillar to the north-west.

Cliff overlook

Just outside the Sacred Pool and toward 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.

Beach

Ormn is catching fish toward the south-east of the pool along a small beach. An Amulet of Silvanus is hidden beneath a rock in this area at X: 262 Y: 481.
