Navigating the complex streets of Rivington in Baldur's Gate 3 Act 3 brings various moral challenges and hidden dangers to your adventuring party. One of the most intricate early assignments in this region involves uncovering a plot targeting vulnerable refugees with rigged donations. Successfully resolving this mystery requires a blend of sharp perception, thorough environmental exploration, and strategic confrontations.
Discovering the Requisitioned Barn and Arfur's Mansion
The journey begins in the outskirts of Rivington, where you will find tension building outside Arfur Gregorio's home regarding refugees. Exploring the nearby Requisitioned Barn reveals a stockpile of supplies that contains dangerous, explosive teddy bears mixed in with normal donations. Interacting with these items triggers the official investigation, prompting you to search for the person responsible for this cruel scheme.
To gather more information, you need to head inside Arfur's mansion and locate a hidden hatch leading to his basement. The underground area is heavily booby-trapped, requiring a high perception stat and a careful approach to avoid taking unnecessary damage. Reaching the far end of the basement rewards players with a blackmail letter that directly links the toy maker to a dangerous faction operating inside the Lower City.
Tracking Down the Rogue Toy Maker
With the digital evidence in hand, your next step involves tracking down Arfur to confront him about his involvement with the explosive shipments. He can typically be located relaxing at Sharess' Caress, a popular entertainment hub situated just north of the regional checkpoint. Speaking with him allows players to utilize different dialogue options, including intimidation and persuasion, to extract the truth.
Successfully pressuring the artisan reveals that he was forced into cooperation by a group operating under the banner of Felogyr's Fireworks. He will also grant you a special pass that provides access to the lower city districts where the main manufacturing hub resides. Securing this permission ensures you can advance the plot line without fighting your way through the local guards.
Infiltrating Felogyr's Fireworks
Once you enter the Lower City, locating the operational headquarters of Felogyr's Fireworks becomes your main priority. The multi-story building functions as a storefront on the surface while secretly processing heavy explosives on the upper levels. Navigating this restricted space demands strict situational awareness, as standard guards will attack immediately if they spot intruders upstairs.
Many players prefer utilizing invisibility spells or stealth mechanics to bypass the initial security checkpoints safely. Reaching the top floor triggers a major combat encounter against the cultists managing the explosive distribution network. Clearing out these enemies successfully puts a permanent end to the threat and completes this lengthy investigative journey.
