Baldur's Gate[]
It is possible for the party to meet Volo. He resides at the Belching Dragon Tavern in the town of Nashkel. When spoken to, he will tell stories and give information about the Sword Coast, most of them useful for quests. In particular, journal entries, titled "Rumor from Volo", can be acquired for the troubles in the Nashkel Mines, as long as Mulahey is alive, as well for solving them by killing the priest; for the Tale of Captain Brage, as long as that one is not solved; after flooding the Cloakwood Mine, especially regarding how the slaves have been dealt with; and finally after having killed Sarevok. An Aquamarine Gem can be pickpocketed from Volo.
In the Enhanced Edition, Volo cannot be hurt with weapons or spells.
Throne of Bhaal[]
In Throne of Bhaal, he can be found within The Tankard Tree in the city of Saradush. He has some banter about describing all companions currently with the Ward. This amusing interlude will trigger interjections with all core party members when they hear Volo's literary summary of their association with Gorion's Ward.
It's not known what befalls Volo after Yaga Shura's forces managed to breach the city walls.
