One Baldur's Gate 3 player stumbles upon a secret passageway after 400 hours of playthrough. Baldur's Gate 3 features a number of beautiful locations filled with content and NPCs players can interact with. From the Underdark to the Moonrise Towers, each destination has a unique theme that adds to the immersion. Aside from quests and NPCs, they host a merchant players can visit to sell their wares or buy new items.

Baldur's Gate 3 is divided into three acts, during which players take on quests, meet powerful companions, and square up against a formidable wave of enemies. When focusing solely on the main story, a full playthrough of the iconic RPG is around 70 hours. However, if players want to clear all the content, including NPC companion questlines, they will probably log at least 140 hours into Baldur's Gate 3.

Baldur's Gate 3 Physical Xbox Version Has 1 Big Difference

The physical edition of Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox features one big difference when compared to its counterparts on other platforms.

One Baldur's Gate 3 player known as elsonwarcraft on Reddit discovered a secret passageway in Water Queen's House after 400 hours of playthrough. As seen in the mini-map, this hidden entrance is found in the southwest of the temple. Inside the cave, there are water priestesses that go aggro if players don't leave them alone. For those who don't remember, these water priestesses appear in Baldur's Gate 3's Avenge the Drowned quest.

In the comments section, fellow Baldur's Gate 3 players admitted that they also had never discovered this secret passageway in their first playthrough. Some also claimed that inside the cave, there are 500-600 gold players can take before encountering Sahuagin enemies.

Water Queen's House is a Location Baldur's Gate 3 Players Might Miss in the Final Act

As players journey through the world of Faeun, they will eventually make their way to Water Queen's House, a temple where players find a quest about the vehicle that takes them to the Iron Throne dungeon, one of the missable locations in Baldur's Gate 3's third act. Compared to other destinations on the map, Water Queen's House, located next to the beach, features limited content to enjoy. However, players would be well advised to visit that temple, as there might be some worthwhile loot.

Besides Water Queen's Home, players will visit a number of locations during the final act of Baldur's Gate 3, such as Rivington and Lower City Sewers, to take on unique quests and progress through the game's story. The events in the third arc will lead to branching storylines, some of which have minimal interaction with the main plot. One thing to note is that these storylines can be missed if players don't talk to the right NPC and activate the necessary quest.
