Exploring the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3 presents players with complex morality choices and intricate side quests. One such mission is the Find The Missing Boots quest, which involves resolving a dispute between Duergar slavers and a fugitive gnome. Successfully navigating this task allows adventurers to gain valuable equipment while determining the fate of several subterranean inhabitants.
Starting the Quest in the Underdark
Players can initiate this quest by traveling to the beach area in the Underdark and speaking with Gekh Coal. Approaching Gekh peacefully allows him to explain that a deep gnome slave named Thulla stole a pair of valuable boots from Sergeant Thrinn. Accepting his request to retrieve the footwear officially adds the mission to your journal.
Locating Thulla at the Myconid Colony
To find the missing footwear, head directly toward the Myconid Colony situated in the central region of the Underdark. Thulla can be found suffering from severe poison near the colony's leader. Players can choose to cure her using an antidote spell or item, after which she will willingly hand over the boots. Alternatively, players may choose to take the boots directly from her without offering medical aid.
Delivering the Boots to Grymforge
Once you have secured the items, take a boat from the Underdark beach to cross the water into Grymforge. Locate Sergeant Thrinn inside the main encampment to hand over her stolen property. Returning the boots successfully concludes the quest and unlocks a choice of useful equipment rewards, such as specialized armor or rings.
Quest Outcomes and Story Impact
Helping Thulla by curing her opens additional dialogue pathways regarding the plight of the ironhand gnomes. Choosing to assist the Duergar instead improves your standing with Sergeant Thrinn and her mercenaries in Grymforge. Balancing these outcomes allows players to align their actions with their party's alignment and long-term narrative goals.
