Discover the Hilarious Shovel in Baldur’s Gate 3
If you’re playing Baldur’s Gate 3, there’s one summon you absolutely can’t miss before leaving Act 1: Shovel. While he may not be the most useful ally, he is undeniably hilarious. Let me guide you on how to find Shovel the Quasit in this epic game.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game filled with secrets, and the Goblin-infested Blighted Village is a true treasure trove of extraordinary items, deadly books, menacing ogres, and, of course, Shovel the Quasit. This summon is more of a comical companion than a formidable force.
While many of the Summon Scrolls you encounter in the game offer generic summons, Shovel is truly special. You can locate this unique character in the hidden cave located in the apothecary’s basement in the Blighted Village.
Once you step into the building, make sure to approach the store counter. There, you’ll find a hidden hatch waiting to be discovered. Interact with it to unlock the entrance to a secret cave.
As you step into the basement, you might initially think it’s just an ordinary space. However, if you venture towards the far wall, you will discover a hidden surprise. Camouflaged behind a stack of inconspicuous boxes, you will stumble upon an intriguing lever, waiting to be pulled.
Get ready for an exciting adventure! As you interact with the cabinet, be prepared for a thrilling surprise – it will move, revealing a hidden entrance to a mysterious cave. Inside the cave, you will come across several bouldering caskets, but beware! Most of them are guarded by fearsome undead Guardians. Your task is to find the one casket that holds something truly special: the Scroll of Summon Quasit.
After some exploration, you’ll discover that the coveted scroll is located in the casket to the right of the stairs. Open it with anticipation, and not only will you find the precious scroll, but also a collection of intriguing items. The moment you activate the Scroll of Summon Quasit, get ready for an unforgettable cutscene featuring the one and only Shovel.</p
Shovel, the mischievous Quasit, couldn’t care less about his old master’s demise. All he cares about is getting back to his favorite pastime: murdering things. But now, he’s on a new mission. He urges you to complete his master’s unfinished book, The Necromancy of Thay, which lies beyond a magical mirror at the top of a treacherous staircase. However, obtaining the Dark Amethyst is the key to accessing the book.
Discovering the Dark Amethyst in BG3
The Dark Amethyst is a crucial ingredient required to unlock the secrets of the Necromancy Book in BG3. You can find this valuable item during the quest, “Search the Cellar,” when you’re trying to open the Book of Thay. Look for it in the Whispering Depth, precisely at coordinates X: -561; Y: -357.
Turning Shovel the Quasit into a Permanent Familiar
Although Shovel the Quasit may appear temporarily, you can make him a permanent familiar by following these steps:
- Search for the scroll containing Shovel in the apothecary cellar of the Blighted Village. It will be inside a mouldering casket.
- Remember to save your game before using the scroll.
- Ensure that you have at least level 1 in one of the following classes: Warlock, Wizard, or Sorcerer. Only these classes will work for this process.
- Summon Shovel using the scroll and initiate a conversation with him. Choose the following dialogue options in the exact order: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1. Select option 1 every time, except when the dialogue is “No, you will do no such things.”
- Do not change the Quasit’s name, as it will ruin your chance of making him a permanent companion.
- Talk to Shovel again after entering the magical mirror. Make sure someone with at least level 1 in either Wizard, Warlock, or Sorcerer speaks to him. This character should also have the “Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit” spell on their common hotbar.
- If you reallocated any abilities to fulfill step 3, you’ll be able to reset them back after completing step 6. The spell will still be available on your hotbar.
If you successfully follow all the steps, you’ll gain a new stabby manic sidekick who will accompany you on your thrilling adventures.
