How to Find Pandirna in BG3 – Should You Help Her?

One of the most missed quests in Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 1 involves Pandirna in the Grove. This guide will break down how to find Pandirna in BG3 and explain whether you should cure her or rob her.

BG3 Pandirna Storage Room location – how to reach explained

First and foremost, you need to locate Pandirna in the Druid Grove in the Act 1 area of the Wilderness. She is found in a locked storage room at the back of the Tiefling refugee camp, as seen in the map posted below. There are two ways to enter the storage room, so it comes down to personal preference. You can pick the lock on the storage room door, but this will make every Tiefling mad if they witness it. It is tricky and requires you to time the pick for when no one can see it.

The other option is to head to the nearby prison cells. Sazza (the NPC in the cutscene when you first enter the prison area) has a hidden path just behind her cell that you can go through. This will take you near the top of the storage room, where you can enter a hole to go inside without committing any crimes.

Should You Cure or Rob Pandirna in BG3?

Once you enter the storage room, you’ll find the paralyzed Pandirna on the ground in BG3. She will immediately threaten to call the guards on you. However, you have a few choices that you can do with Pandirna, including curing or robbing her:

• Kill her (Dark Urge-exclusive).
• Threaten her.
• Offer to cure Pandirna.
• Offer to cure in exchange for money.
• Ignore her.
• Rob her.

Most of these options are pretty ridiculous, especially killing, threatening, or taking the money she offers and leaving. Robbing her will also trigger the guards to appear, which is not a great move unless you want to eliminate all of the Tieflings. The best choice is to cure her in exchange for money as a reward.

If you don’t have a healing spell, Shadowheart has Lesser Restoration, which will do the trick. What you can then do is put the game in turn-based mode, put Pandirna to sleep with a spell, and then pickpocket the loot off of her and the storage room. This can take a few sleep tries, so be sure to save beforehand.
