I can't enter Baldur's Gate

n00body · 10-09-2002, 12:19 PM

Ah, here I am, nearing the end of a 2-3 month long trek through Baldur's Gate the game and I finally get right to the entrance of the legendary Baldur's Gate City and I can't get in!

I went across the bridge, spoke to the solider guy about the flaming fist quest and then went to the north part of the map but when I exited it only gave me some farm place to the northeast of Baldur's Gate!

HOW THE F... DO YOU GET IN TO THIS PLACE?!

Once again the *extremely* unintuitive exit points of BG strikes again...

(The First time was in the forest directly west of the Gnoll's Fortress where you had to exit NORTH instead of WEST even though the fortress is DIRECTLY WEST of the forest!!!)

If you are at the spot where I believe that you are at then all you have to do is...

after you cross the bridge take a left at the gnome illusionist instead of continuing to the top of the map...this should take you into the city itself.

I had a problem my first time there as well. At the end of the bridge it seems as if you can't make a left, but you can.

A lot of people have trouble seeing the entryway, as there's nothing to distinguish it from the rest of the wall. Just march your party along the wall, and when you come abreast of the archway, your Line Of Sight will reveal the ground on the other side of the archway.

These and all other (I hope) common problems are dealt with in:
