Baldur's Gate 3: How To Find (& Get) The Annals Of Karsus

To progress Gale’s companion quest in , players have to find the Annals of Karsus: a tome containing forbidden magical lore. However, although Gale believes it can be bought from Sorcerous Sundries, Baldur’s Gate’s premier shopping destination for magical items, it’s much trickier. The Annals of Karsus is sealed away in the vault, and the party has to break in to get it.

The spell is available to Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards, and Druids at class Level 3, Level 7 Arcane Trickster Rogues, and Level 8 Eldritch Knight Fighter in .

Make sure to grab the Basement Chest Key on the table!

Once you’ve left the portal, head towards the wooden door and pass through it to find the entrance to the Restricted Area. It’s locked, but you can pass a DC15 Sleight of Hand check to open it. The room beyond has three doors and lots of
