Last update: 10 August 2023
Our BG3 map of The Risen Road and Waukeen's Rest will help you discover all secrets and fully complete the locations. We explain where to find Karlach and the Githyanki patrol.
The Risen Road and Waukeen's Rest - important places
Damaged bridge. This is the main way to reach the northern part of the map. You'll reach it from the Blighted Village. The bridge is partially destroyed, but you can jump to the other side.
Gnolls in front of the cave. They've surrounded two survivors within the cave. You can attack the gnolls (position the party on the rocks above and attack the first monster from behind) or use your illithid powers to dominate the gnoll leader, commanding the group against the survivors in the cave. If you've dominated the gnolls, after combat you can command the leader again to either leave the area or attack the other gnolls.
Cave survivors. Two people are defending a chest tied to the Find the Missing Shipment quest. You can help them beat the gnolls, reach them through the trapped passage or let the gnolls kill the,.
Burning Waukeen's Rest. The gate leading to the inn is blocked and you can help the people gathered there break through it.
Here, you'll get the quest to find and rescue the Great Duke. You can search both floors of the burning Rest (save Benryn here - pass a skill check to help him escape) and adjacent buildings. The fire is gradually spreading, but you can put it out with magic or seek alternative paths.
Githyanki patrol. We strongly advise you to save the game before approaching the mountain pass, as you may end up forced into a hopeless battle. You'll likely want to return after leveling up your party and giving them better gear.
This place is tied to Lae'zel's companion quest. After approaching the pass, watch the cutscene with the dragon. The commander is a Kith'rak knight who'll fly away after the conversation. You can use the tadpole's powers here to deceive him or try and hand over the artifact. If you manage to deceive him, he won't attack you and you'll learn where to seek the githyanki creche.
Important NPCs and companions
Karlach. She is a Tiefling hiding next to the river. Karlach is wounded, but you can still attack her with a crossbow. You can talk her down from a fight through a Perception or Intimidation check. While talking to her, you can agree to help her kill the Paladins hunting her. You can also ally with the Paladins and kill Karlach for them.
If you've recruited Wyll, you'll trigger a camp scene between him and Karlach.
Cyrel. She's a vendor at a toll post. She sells thief tools, trap disarming kits, potions, various kinds of arrows and scrolls.
