One Baldur's Gate 3 Location Is A Treasure Trove, Even If It Doesn't Make A Lot Of Sense

offers a lot of challenging locations with rewarding loot for those who conquer them, but the easiest place to stock up on gold really doesn't add up at all. For the most part, follows the typical approach to party rewards, dotting equipment, gold, and valuables across dungeons and the inventories of fallen enemies. Other instances offer rewards for conversational checks or thinking outside the box, so there's no shortage of ways for an intrepid party to leverage skills for riches.

If security tightened up on the lower floor of the Counting House, the ease of access to it might not be a big deal. Things get even simpler once the party's made it past the first barrier, however. Any party
