Quests

This page lists all quests from the Baldur's Gate games.

Types of questsEdit

Main questsEdit

This section is a stub. You can help Baldur's Gate Wiki by expanding it.

Side questsEdit

Side quests, sometimes known as subquests, are quests which do not directly affect the main storyline. As such, they are optional but nevertheless an important part of the game. Side quests represent a major means of exploring the landscape, of equipping characters and advancing levels, and of having fun.

Which side quests you pick up depends on the choices you make as you explore the countryside and talk to, fight with and/or run away (strategically retreat, if you prefer) from characters and creatures in the game. Some side quests are added to your journal automatically when you "discover" them from actions as simple as entering an area for the first time or interacting with a character. Other times you will be given the option of accepting a side quest or not.

While their completion is optional to the overall goals of the game, it should be noted that the completion, incompletion, or manner of completion of side quests can have important effects upon your playing experience. Failure to complete a quest given by a party member, for example, can lead to them leaving your party unexpectedly. (See below.)

Stronghold quests can be considered side quests.

Baldur's GateEdit

In the original Baldur's Gate and its expansion (see below), quests are neither named nor ordered in the player's journal, other than by chapter; relevant entries are simply added by the time they are obtained and will not be removed from the journal again when the quest is solved.

This is changed in the Enhanced Edition, where most quests get a name and sometimes a subtitle, the latter not always shown in the journal. They are ordered roughly alphabetically in a specific "Quests" section, while "Journal" keeps some entries by date. After solving a quest, relevant entries are in most cases either removed or updated.

The following list uses the Enhanced Edition names – player's of the original game unfortunately can only guess. Some entries might appear familiar, however, for player's of the Baldur's Gate Trilogy. For quests, exclusive to the Enhanced Edition, see below.
