The Kuo-Toa are a hidden race in Baldur's Gate 3 that are already tough to find. Those who find their secret entrance will realize why they aren't wandering the world and trading on the surface. They are enraptured by a god named BOOOAL, making live sacrifices and endlessly praising the incarnate god.
Gamers who have wandered the world in Baldur's Gate 3 are perfectly aware that something is uniquely wrong with this situation. One of the game's core issues involved mind-control but this is a unique variety. Players will have to be very particular about resolving the situation to save the Kuo-Toa in this region from going extinct.
This article divulges consequences within the game and reveals information the player's character may not know. Gamers committed to role-playing may wish to stop reading and find these things out for themselves.
How To Save The Kuo-Toa
- Succeed the passive Nature check when first meeting the Kuo-Toa.
- Choose "You can give it a rest. Your 'god' isn't real."
- Succeed on the Persuasion, Strength, or Intelligence check.
- Choose "I'll just kill you and claim it for myself."
After getting into the Underdark and finding this interaction, players have to be very cautious. Players must pass a Nature check that happens at the start of the cutscene when approaching the group. If this fails, players won't know how to handle the situation.
The general idea here is that the Kuo-Toa are going to be worshipping somebody. Even if the character convinced the Kuo-Toa worshippers that the one god is fake, they'll still attack the player if they don't accept this mantle of "power." After the fight with BOOOAL, the worshippers will still need some time to regain their sanity. Players will still leave as a god but at least the Kuo-Toa are alive.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
