Baldur’s Gate 3: Act 2 Checklist (Everything You Don’t Want To Miss)

screenrant.com:

In Act 2 of your party of misfit adventurers enters the Shadow-Cursed Lands, a small but dense region home to many of the game’s most important quests and secrets. However, the land is cursed with lingering darkness, making exploring rather challenging. This list should help you keep track of everything you need to do before rejoining the road to Baldur’s Gate and Act 3.

[Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3.]

After completing everything in massive first Act, you will enter the Shadow-Cursed Lands from the Mountain Pass or the Grymforge and the Underdark. The route you take doesn’t matter much, and you may have only explored one of these two areas. However, for completion’s sake, this guide assumes you explored both areas since this gives you the most story content and XP.

At the start of Act 2, you will find yourself in the Ruined Battlefield. If you enter from the Grymforge, you will run into a group of Harpers and have a particularly terrifying encounter with the shadowy inhabitants of this region. Before you search for Act 2’s best-kept secrets, it’s highly recommended that you follow the Harpers to their base at the Last Light Inn first. The Shadow Curse will damage anyone in your party not protected by a light source, and there are areas you can’t reach yet.
