House with Flowers BG3

Exploring the House of Flowers in Baldur’s Gate 3

In the captivating world of Baldur’s Gate 3, Act 2 presents an opportunity to discover the mysterious Shadow Cursed Lands. Amongst the haunting landscapes lies the dilapidated House of Flowers, a hidden gem waiting to be explored. This guide will provide you with detailed information about the quests and activities available in this intriguing location.

The House of Flowers serves as a sanctuary for Oliver, the spiritual counterpart to Thaniel, within the Shadow Cursed Lands. Your journey will lead you here after completing the Wake Up Art Cullagh side quest and aiding Halsin in protecting the portal as he searches for Thaniel.

It is worth noting that some players have encountered a bug where the quest marker appears prematurely, before the necessary prerequisites have been completed for the House of Flowers. If you find yourself in this situation, it is recommended to wait until you receive information about Oliver from Halsin before attempting to engage with the location.

Embark on a thrilling quest as you join the House of Flowers in their mission to find Thaniel’s missing half. Along the way, you’ll encounter the enigmatic Oliver, who has hidden himself within the house. Brace yourself for an exciting choice – engage in two rounds of hide-and-seek with Oliver or engage in a heart-pounding battle.

If you manage to outsmart Oliver in the hide-and-seek games not once, but twice, you’ll be rewarded with the prized Ring of Shadows. This invaluable artifact empowers you to cast the powerful level 2 Abjuration spell, giving you an edge in your future endeavors.

However, if uniting Oliver with Thaniel is your goal, prepare for an epic fight. Oliver seeks protection within a mystical shield, and only by defeating hordes of Shadow monsters can you break through this barrier. Overcome this challenge, and Oliver will lend his support in healing Thaniel and removing the dreaded Shadow Curse that looms over the realm. These quests form the crux of your adventure within the House of Flowers, providing you with thrilling escapades and numerous rewards.

But the excitement doesn’t end there. Venture beyond the House of Flowers and explore the Thorm Mausoleum, located to the north of the Moonrise Towers. This mysterious location is of utmost importance as it propels the main plot of Baldur’s Gate 3 forward. Discover the secrets hidden within and unlock new dimensions of the game.
