Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Complete The ‘Search The Cellar’ Quest

gameranx.com:

Very little is as it seems in Baldur’s Gate 3. What may initially look like a fun jaunt through a desolated village infested with goblins, ogres, and worgs could very quickly become a magical side quest involving necromancers, physics-defying spiders, and sentient literature. 

It’s all in a day’s work as a True Soul, and if you don’t solve the world’s problems, nobody will. Heck, if you don’t pilfer every last scrap of loot then you’re just leaving it to get all dusty and forgotten. One of the larger side quests in Baldur’s Gate 3’s early game involves a mysterious cellar hinted at whilst exploring an infirmary. Let’s walk through it. 

Note: Due to the length of this quest we aren’t going to waste time telling you to loot every square inch of every location. Unless an item is pivotal to your advancement, we are going to assume you have stashed everything in your backpack.

Behind the counter, you will see a wooden hatch. Climb down the hatch to access the basement. Once here, move to the back of the room towards three stacked boxes. Move/Throw/Destroy these boxes to reveal a lever. Pull it, and a bookcase to your right will move
