Find Zevlor is an Act 2 side quest in Baldur's Gate 3 that players can initiate by speaking with the Tieflings at the Last Light Inn, provided that they made it out of Act 1 alive. While the instruction provided by the name of this quest is quite easy to understand, some fans may get stuck as they attempt to complete this task. Indeed, finding Zevlor in Baldur's Gate 3's Shadow-Cursed Lands can be a bit tricky, and this guide is here to assist players that are struggling to track down the missing Tiefling.
To note, explaining how to complete the Find Zevlor quest requires that some details about Act 2 story quests and locations be revealed. Those details could undoubtedly be considered spoilers, and players that are adverse to such things may want to stop reading now. For those fans it may be sufficient to say that they will pass directly through Zevlor's location on their way to complete Baldur's Gate 3's second act.
Updated November 6th, 2023: Zevlor is an important face in Baldur's Gate 3 as players will meet the NPC rather early into the game. As time progresses, Zevlor ends up disappearing and players can embark on a side quest if they want to find out what happened to the Tiefling. To better show how to find Zevlor in Baldur's Gate 3, the following guide has been updated to now include a companion video that better shows players how to reach Zevlor and interact with him.
Baldur's Gate 3: Where is Zevlor in Act 2
Baldur's Gate 3 players that are attempting to complete Find Zevlor in the Shadow-Cursed Lands should continue working through Act 2 story quests until they gain access to the Mind Flayer Colony. For full clarity, this occurs after battling Ketheric Throm on the Moonrise Towers Rooftops, and it is not possible to miss this location.
Upon reaching the Mind Flayer Colony, players should make their way northward to the Flesh-Wrought Door at X:687 Y:-9. Beyond that door, fans will find the Tadpoling Centre, a room that is filled with many pods. Zevlor inhabits one of those pods, and players can release him by interacting with the Neural Apparatus at X:686 Y:17.
To note, the Tiefling is not the only NPC that is trapped in one of the Tadpoling Centre's pods, and players should be prepared to do battle with several Mind Flayers and Intellect Devourers after using the Neural Apparatus. Fortunately, Zevlor (and some other friendly characters) will join the fight, and fans should speak with the Tiefling when the job is done.
For those players that may have already progressed beyond the Mind Flayer Colony, it is seemingly impossible to return to this location and free Zevlor. Indeed, while some fans have reportedly been able to return to the map (by using Misty Step to bypass a blockage within the Moonrise Towers Prisons), the Tiefling does not emerge from the pod when using the Neural Apparatus. This situation also seems to arise if players attempt to open the pods immediately after the boss fight in the Mind Flayer Colony, and they may need to load an old save in order to complete the Find Zevlor quest.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC. A PS5 version releases on September 6.
