Lift the Shadow Curse Quests

Category iconDescription

Lift the Shadow Curse is a quest in Act Two of Baldur’s Gate 3. It can be started by speaking with Halsin after entering the Shadow-Cursed Lands.

Objectives

  • Look for clues as to Thaniel’s whereabouts.
    • According to Halsin, if we want to lift the shadow curse, we must find Thaniel - the spirit of the land.
  • Tell Halsin about Art Cullagh.
    • We found a mysterious man lying unconscious in Last "Light" iconLight Inn. He said the name ‘Thaniel’ while sleeping. We should tell Halsin about this.
  • Wake Art Cullagh.
    • Halsin met the mysterious unconscious man, and is certain he knows where Thaniel is. Halsin suggested something from the man’s past might help to wake him.
  • Talk to Halsin about Art Cullagh.
    • We managed to wake the mysterious man - a Flaming Fist called Art Cullagh. He immediately asked to speak to Halsin, saying the druid was the only one who could help.
  • Meet Halsin by the lakeshore.
    • Halsin has a plan to save Thaniel, and lift the shadow curse. He asked us to meet him by the lakeshore by Last Light.
  • Defend the portal.
    • Halsin delved into the Shadowfell to rescue Thaniel. We must defend the portal Halsin created, or he will be trapped in the Shadowfell forever.
  • Meet Halsin at camp.
    • Halsin rescued Thaniel from the Shadowfell, but the spirit of the land is ill. If we want to help, we should speak to Halsin at camp.
  • Seek Thaniel’s Shadow.
    • Halsin has told us to seek a place where flowers still grow in the shadow-cursed lands. Among the blooms we might locate Thaniel’s missing half, the key to curing his illness.
  • Speak to Halsin at camp.
    • It took some convincing, but Oliver agreed to reunite with Thaniel. We should check in with Halsin next time we’re at camp, and see if Thaniel is doing any better.
  • Kill Ketheric Thorm.
    • Reuniting Oliver and Thaniel is not enough. Ketheric Thorm is the anchor of the curse. For the land to heal, he must be defeated.
  • If the party fails to protect the portal: Halsin is lost to the Shadowfell. Without him, we can’t lift the shadow curse.
  • We left for Baldur’s Gate without finding a way to lift the shadow curse. Halsin decided to stay behind to try and lift the curse without us.
  • We successfully lifted the shadow curse. In time, these lands will flourish once again.
  • Halsin died. Without him, we cannot lift the shadow curse.
