BG3: Where to Find Halsin
Your first task will be to rescue Halsin from the Goblin Camp, where he is being held captive. So, you must take the side of the Druids because if you help the Goblins, you will lose the opportunity to recruit Halsin to your party. Recruiting Halsin is more challenging than other characters because he is not an Origin Character. Follow the instructions to rescue Halsin from prison:
- Go to the Goblin Camp and head towards the Shattered Sanctum.
- Cross the wooden bridge and enter through the door marked Worgs Pen.
- Upon entering the prison, you will witness goblins torturing a bear. Eliminate the goblins and release the bear from the cage.
- Once all enemies have been defeated, you will discover that the bear is a character named Halsin.
- After killing the three True Soul leaders of the Goblin Camp, speak with Halsin.
- When you return to the Emerald Grove, Halsin will be standing in your camp.
At the party Halsin has organized, you will learn that he has named a successor as First Druid. Then, he will offer you to travel together to Moonrise Towers. Accept his offer and continue your journey until you reach the Shadow Cursed Lands in Act 2.
