4 WAYS to TRIGGER the Rite of Thorns & Close the Emerald Grove in Baldur's Gate 3 #baldursgate3

in this video I'm going to give you four ways that you can trigger the ride of thorns and by knowing what triggers the ride of thorns you'll also be able to avoid the ride of thorns if you don't want the Grove to be closed subscribe to the lus Wilson Channel we give you the secrets to crush balers gate three the first condition you need for the right of thorns to complete is for there to be at least one of the three Goblin leaders alive so it's the goblin threat that causes the r of thorn to seem like a good idea to kaga the interim leader of The Druids if there's no Goblin threat then there will be no completion of the r of thorns The Druids are trying to perform the r of thorns in the emerald Grove they need a number of things to do that they need the idol of sylvanus they need kaga and kaga also has to be committed to the right of thorns now if you take away any one of those things things the right of thorns cannot be completed so if you steal the idol of sylvanus the right of thorns cannot be completed now there may be consequences that may cause the Druid tling conflict but that if you steal that that Idol of sanus they can't finish the right of thorns no matter what happens after that also if kaga is not around if kaga's dead if you killed kaga which also May trigger the Druid tling conflict and the death of all the Druids and the teelings if you kill kaga there will be no right of thorns and the emerald Grove will not be sealed off the other key pillar that you need for this is that kaga wants to complete the right of thorns so you can convince kaga to not complete the right of thorns if you confront her with the shadow Druids and you win some dialogue checks she will never complete the right of thorns regardless of what you do but I'm going to tell you the four ways that you can complete the right of thorns and the the myth is that it has something to do with long resting it really has nothing to do with long resting it has everything to do with the conditions that you have created as a player in the game all right so the first one and we'll go like most evil to least evil so the first one kaga is going to tell you to kill zor then you kills evor and then she's going to say well why don't you kill the rest of the T flings and if you do that and then long rest then the r of thorns will be completed right after the long rest it's not the long resting that causes it is the fact that you killed the T Lings in fact you don't have to kill all the T Lings but you have to kill the T Lings that are armed so like there's there's some that will attack you some that will cower the cowering teelings you don't have to kill and most of the teelings will actually run away uh you don't have to kill the little children for example uh but if you want to be really evil and do that that would that would be great for a dark urge playthrough uh just go on a rampage the key thing though I would say is if you do not want to fight The Druids uh try to avoid that uh I had a problem that Aaron got aggroed but I think Aaron is associated with The Druids not so much the T Lings and so uh you know if you fight Aaron you might Agro The Druids too but supposedly you can uh you can convince I.E kill most of the teelings and they will depart The Grove it'll show up in your journal and once it shows up in the journal the the T Lings depart at the Grove once you get out of combat then with most of the T Lings then uh you can long rest and you'll find that the Grove has been closed by The Vines he can't get back all right that's method one method two involves triggering the Druid tling conflict without killing kaga and without stealing the idol of sylvenus so that's what we did in my previous video to show you how to recruit hon and Menara by triggering the right of thorns we triggered the right of thorns by just pushing the idol of sylvanus why did we push it instead of steal it because if we steal it they can't complete the right of thorns so we just pushed it and then once we were out of combat and long rested the right of thorns was completed also all the tlinks were dead and most of the Druids were dead too but that completed the right of thorns for us so that's kind of so the first one's like really evil you're killing the refugees uh this one is you're kind of triggering a conflict between the The Druids and T flings which is kind of evil but maybe less evil because you're not actually doing the The Killing and then the the third most evil uh is is just leaving so there's two ways you can leave you can leave through the mountain pass that will if you have not killed the three Goblin leaders then the r of thorns will be completed uh when you leave so if you kill the three Goblin leaders then then kaga will stand down and she will not she will no longer want to complete the ride of thorns and also hon will get out but if you don't kill the three Goblin leaders and you go through the mountain pass then the ride of thorns will be completed when you go through the mountain pass and then the fourth method is like the third method that if you go up the Grim Forge elevator into the shadow cursed lands then without killing the three Goblin leaders then the r of thorns will be complet completed now there may be some long resting right after this they actually Force you long to Long rest when you go through the mountain pass or you enter this Shadow cursed lands for the first time but it's not due to the long resting it's due to your actions that you've abandoned the refugees and the refugees finally leave the emerald Grove and kaga still in charge of the emerald Grove completes the right of thorns as long as she's not been convinced to repent her Shadow Druid ways okay so in terms of the the consequences for your companions you could do these things wrong and lose will and Carlock both but there is a potential to do these things correctly lose neither will and Carlock so as long as you've not attacked anybody that even with opportunity attacks any The Druids or the teelings in the emerald Grove will and Carlock should stay so the if you've already recruited them prior to your actions that that triggered these things so you know if the emerald Grove is closed off by the time you recruit Carlock then she's not going to join your party she's not going to be happy about the way you treated the teelings but if you've recruited her already and say you pushed the idol of sylvanus or say you went through the mountain pass or up the Grim Forge elevator into the shadow cursed lands then both will and Carlock will not be mad at you as long as you were not slaughtering any T Lings now if you do method one and you were slaughtering the T Lings I didn't have Carlock in my party but she was a companion she did not leave I was shocked by that but will did disapprove every time we killed a tling and he left when we got back to camp but and tried to Long rest but so you could conceivably do all these methods and uh retain Carlock as a companion uh you could do uh three of them three out of the four and retain Carlock and will as companions while not saving the tlinks now all these methods will result in the Helen heart Crest not being completed because Damon's going to die uh either by your hand or by uh the the evacuation while the the Goblins are still in force uh so th those are some of the consequences so anything that has to do with the T flings going forward probably not going to happen if you you let the the right of thorns complete but you know depending on the way you want to play the game that might be something that you want to do for instance we've got a video of how you can recruit hon and manthara uh if you cause the r of thorns to complete by Method one or two uh but not three or four so three or four would cause hon to die but method one and two you could convince hon to leave leave the work pens and join as a camp follower and eventually as a companion once you uh partially lift the shadow curse in act two subscribe to the lus Wilson Channel we give you the secrets to crush balers Gate 3 let me know your
