How Do You Get Laezel Down?

Baldur’s Gate 3, created by Larian Studios, not only introduces the stunning Divinity engine but also incorporates beloved elements from the acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin series. If you’re in need of some guidance on how to free Lae’zel in BG3, fear not! I’m here to walk you through the process step by step.

Once you’ve completed the initial tutorial level and moved on to the prologue, you’ll find yourself on a ravaged beach, where you’ll have the opportunity to recruit companions to join your party. Among them is Lae’zel, who you’ve already encountered aboard the mindflayers’ ship.

Once you’ve taken care of the enemies (either by fighting or intimidating them into leaving), Lae’zel will ask you to free her from the hanging wooden cage. To accomplish this, you’ll need a bow. If your character doesn’t already have one, don’t worry! You can find a bow on the ground nearby and equip it.

With your bow equipped, approach the cage and hover your cursor over the base. When your cursor transforms into a mini bow icon, it means you’re ready to shoot and release Lae’zel.

When it comes to freeing Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to click on the base multiple times to break it and release her. It’s not immediately obvious, but make sure you’re close enough to the cage to see the attack prompt. Alternatively, if any character in your party has a bow equipped, you can select the Ranged Attack option and shoot the base.

It’s worth noting that when the base is shot down, Lae’zel will fall to the ground and take a bit of damage. However, if you have Gale in your party, he can cast a spell to reduce her fall damage or provide healing afterwards.

Once Lae’zel is freed, you can interact with her and decide if you want her to join your party as a companion. Together, you can search for a cure and continue your adventure.
