Dank Crypt and Refectory Dungeons
The ruins of the Chapel with the underground located in the north-eastern part of Ravaged Beach is the first dungeon you will find in Baldur's Gate 3. The whole consists of:
- Chapel Entrance the part located on the surface, where you will find 4 entrances to the underground, you will receive the "Explore the Ruins" Quest and where you will meet the first group of bandits looting the ruins of the chapel.
- Dank Crypt the essential part of the dungeon, which is the main goal of our quest, here you will find the ending of the "Explore the Ruins" Quest, a powerful ally and loot.
- Refectory an additional part of the dungeon, with its own entrances from the surface, giving an alternative way to the Dank Crypt, allowing you to deal with the second group of bandits and collect additional loot.
Four ways inside the Dank Crypt
Regardless of which way you choose to complete the "Explore the Ruins" Quest, I suggest that you explore all available 4 entrances, all locations, chests and tombs.
- (D1) Hatch Entrance to Dank Crypt the shortest way to the goal.
- High lockpicking skills required

- (R1) Main Entrance to Refectory if you are afraid of traps and have trouble picking locks.
- You have to convince the bandits to open the door for you
- You visit Refectory
- You have to defeat the second group of bandits

- You open the door with secret switches
- (R2) Side Entrance to Refectory this way requires the least skill.
- You do not talk to bandits to open doors
- You visit Refectory
- You have to defeat the second group of bandits
- You avoid traps
- You open the door with secret switches
Explore the Ruins Quest
- Find a way into the ruins.
- We met some bandits near some ruins. They've been trying to break into a crypt - with no success. Whatever they're after is probably still inside.
- Investigate the ruins.
- We found a way into the abandoned ruins.
- We've entered some ruins through an underground cave. There are bound to be some interesting artefacts down here.
- Open the sarcophagus.
- We found a large sarcophagus hidden in the ruins. Who lies within?
- Talk to the strange figure.
- A strange figure emerged from one of the sarcophagi we opened. Seems like he has something to say.
- The strange figure said he would see us again soon. He was probably the ruins' greatest secret, but there's no harm in checking for more valuables.
Dank Crypt Map
The main task on Dank Crypt Map is to complete the Explore the Ruins Quest.
Approaching Chapel Entrance
Approaching the ruins of the Chapel, you see bandits trying to get inside. Second group of bandits are already inside Refectory and First group are still on the surface.
Explore the RuinsNAUTILOID CRASH REGION QUEST
Find a way into the ruins We met some bandits near some ruins. They've been trying to break into a crypt - with no success. Whatever they're after is probably still inside.
You don't have to fight the First Bandit Group on the surface. When you start talking to them, you will see many dialogue options to discourage them from fighting. Send them off and start exploring Chapel Entrance.
Thoroughly search the Chapel Entrance area (on the surface) and collect all items around you will find Torch and Thieves' Tools you will use inside.
Hatch Entrance to Dank Crypt
Use D1 entrance. Astarion should be able to open the Hatch using Thieves' Tools with a bit of luck (saving and loading the game). If you are unable to, check Four ways inside the Dank Crypt.

Withers Sarcophagus
Let Shadowheart take the lead, let her do the next steps.
Open Sarcophagus with "Here lies the Guardian of Tombs" written on it.
Withers NPC talk to him peacefully.
Let Withers ask Shadowheart a question.
Correct answer to the Withers question is: "Each life is of infinite value and merits sacrificing everything for."
Withers is pleased with the answer and announces that you will meet him soon. You will meet him at your Camp.
After you finish successfully "Explore the Ruins" Quest in Ravaged Beach, Withers will join your Camp.
Withers is a strange wraith that commands many powers: he allows you to resurrect allies, hire help (Hirelings), and change your class. For a price, of course.
This is the end of Explore the Ruins Quest, you can go out using (D1) or check rest of dungeon.
