Find the Githyanki Creche - Baldur's Gate III Guide - IGN (2024)

If you're opting to choose the solution to Finding a Cure proposed by Lae'zel, this is the right Baldur's Gate 3 Walkthrough for you. This BG3 guide will help you find the Githyanki Creche and hopefully obtain a cure for the parasite.

To start it, you will need to have won the battle outside the Emerald Grove gates and finished the introductory conversation that takes place when you enter the camp for the first time.

This particular Walkthrough is written with the assumption that Lae'zel is in your party. It's an essential part of Lae'zel's personal Companion Quest The Githyanki Warrior and there are other interesting Side Quests to complete in the zone, too.

Find the Githyanki Creche Walkthrough

First things first, head into the Hollow and walk north until you find an NPC named Zorru. According to the quest text, he may be able to point you in the direction of the Githyanki Creche.

Speak to him to learn more. Lae'zel will be angry with him for his view on Githyanki and demand that he bows- you can assist her with getting her way, but this will affect your relationship with Shadowheart.

Zorru will tell you that Githyanki Warriors ambushed his party, killing one of his friends. Provided you've got him to comply, he will then mark the location on your map where he encountered the Warriors, giving you a solid lead for where to go next.

Use the Emerald Grove Environs Waypoint to continue.

Finding the Githyanki Creche Location

Head northwest from the Emerald Grove Environs Waypoint into the Forest until you come across a broken bridge.

Jump across the bridge, and keep heading towards the quest marker.

As you head towards the northwest, you'll end up walking down the Risen Road. Keep heading onwards, and you'll end up walking past an Inn called Waukeen's Rest.

Keep going until you see a wooden bridge and a map marker called Mountain Pass. Lae'zel will run away from your party, towards the group on the bridge. Here, you'll see a group of Githyanki warriors threatening a group of Flaming Fist mercenaries.

A Dragon Rider Githyanki will then fly down on her steed and burn down the bridge. After a small interaction with them, you'll learn that they're looking for an artefact (which appears to be the one Shadowheart has) and you'll need to guide Lae'zel through this interaction.

The best options to pick when they come up in the dialogue choices are to nod to Lae'zel, telling her to go ahead, and to mouth 'play along' right after that. This will get you out of potentially having to fight the Githyanki patrol and it will let you continue on your journey, too.

Loot the Flaming Fist merc corpses and continue onwards towards the Githyanki Creche map marker to the west. If you've been following our walkthrough closely, chances are that your party will level up around here in the quest.

Keep pressing onwards. You'll arrive at a stone archway at the end of the bridge which leads to the Mountain Pass, which is exactly where you need to be heading. It's also the same Mountain Pass route that can take you to Moonrise Towers for Act Two.

Enter this new zone to keep progressing with the Find the Githyanki Creche quest.

Through the Monastery

The new area that you'll end up in is called Rosymorn Monastery Trail. You'll notice that the quest marker for the Githyanki Creche is now gone- but don't worry, you're on the right path.

Follow said path to the northwest. You'll find a Waypoint as you go called Trielta Crags.

As you approach the Waypoint, Lae'zel will stop you and acknowledge that there are Githyanki markings nearby. She will urge you to get to the Creche quickly.

When you come to a fork in the path, turn right. Keep heading northwest and make sure to pick up any loot as you go. Having plenty of Camp Supplies will come in handy down the line.

If you open the map, you can zoom out and see where the Creche is located to get an idea of where you should be heading towards.

As you keep heading towards the map marker, you'll encounter a cable car that can take you directly to the Rosymorn Monastery and save you quite a lot of time.

To use the cable car, you'll need to select the cable car wheel and roll a 15 or higher for a Strength check.

Hop onto the cable car when it arrives and let it take you across the chasm.

Jump down from the cable car when it stops moving, and continue onwards to the Githyanki Creche, which your map will be referring to as Creche Y'llek. You can take the stairs to the immediate south by the cable car to get down to the correct level without having to jump or climb.

You'll immediately come across the Rosymorn Monastery Waypoint here, too.

Head down the stairs to the east of the Waypoint. You'll see an opening into the Monastery, where a group of Githyanki Raiders are murdering a group of supposed thieves. Remember- it's important that they don't find out that you have the artefact they're looking for.

Even Lae'zel will warn you to approach with caution.

Save your game before continuing. You won't be able to enter through the main doors, as they are enchanted and locked with an impossible lock, but you can climb through a nearby broken stained glass window.

You'll find Kobold looters inside, but they're drunk and quite easy to deal with.

There are lots of flammable items in this room, like Firewine Barrels, which can be a great way to speed up the fight if you have any fire spells or fire arrows at your disposal.

Head through the broken wall at the back of the room once you've cleared it, then across the wooden plank leading to a nearby cliff.

The rocks here are like a staircase, and they'll lead you straight up to the top of the Monastery, where you'll be able to access the Creche. Jumping will be essential in some parts, as this path is pretty tricky and some areas will not be easy to climb.

When you get to the top of the Monastery, use a fire spell or weapon to break through the nearby wooden barricade to continue.

Then, follow the path round until you reach a sun painting on the floor. Jump across the nearby gap in the floor and continue following this path along.

Continue down the stairs (you'll need to jump for some sections) and remember to loot the nearby Skeletons as you go.

Keep heading past the talking statue until you reach another wooden barricade.

Use a fire spell or weapon to break down the barricade.

You'll find an oak door here. Head through it, climb down the ledge that it opens out onto, and walk west until you find a set of stairs leading down a level.

These stairs will lead you to a door that takes you to the Monastery basem*nt. This is the entrance to the Githyanki Creche.

Entering the Githyanki Creche

As you enter the Creche, you will be immediately stopped by guards who wish to know what you're doing. It's best to let Lae'zel answer here, as she will be able to use the correct terminology for the parasite and the infection cure that the Githyanki supposedly have.

The Githyanki guards will be concerned and want to attack you, but will let Lae'zel lead you to the Infirmary in the Creche.

The Infirmary is in the west wing of the Githyanki Creche. Head through the huge oak doors in front of you to continue with this quest.

If you've been following our walkthrough closely, you should level up around here.

When you get to a fork in the path and can see a portrait of Vlaakith, take the door to your left to continue towards the Infirmary.

When you enter the Infirmary, keep heading straight on through the next door to get to your destination.

The supposed cure for the parasite is the Zaith'isk, which is the large machine in front of you.

Speak to the nearby character named Ghustil Stornugoss. She runs the Infirmary and will need to know that you are infected if you want to use the Zaith'isk.

Save your game after speaking to Ghustil and getting told to sit in the Zaith'isk seat. You can choose to let Lae'zel go first, which will win her approval, or go first instead.

Unfortunately, something is immediately not right. Regardless of who goes first, there is immense pain- and if you roll a Wisdom check when prompted to see what is wrong, you will see that this Zaith'isk has been tampered with, ensuring that the user will die instead of being cured.

You need to break the person out of this situation, by persuading them or deceiving them. If all else fails, the Dream Visitor will intervene and cause the machine to explode. A quick-save is good here as there's an essential roll coming up.

After this, the Find the Githyanki Creche quest will be marked as completed.

You will need to persuade Ghustil Stornugoss that the parasite has been successfully removed. This is a very important roll, so use any Inspiration or advantages here.

If you fail the roll, she will tell you that she's off to get her tools to continue the extraction manually. This will start a battle with the entire Creche, which is quite difficult to finish. Make sure to use the rooms and line of sight to your advantage.

There's a real theme with the Finding a Cure sub-quests. This is yet another dead end, and it's time to look at another possible cure to get the parasite out of your head.

What to Do Next

Before you leave the Creche, you can make progress with the personal quest Discovering the Artefact's Secrets and Lae'zel's personal companion quest The Githyanki Warrior.

If you want to get on with finding a way to remove the parasite, simply exit the Infirmary and keep heading out until you find the Creche Y'llek Waypoint to fast travel to a new location. Other potential cures include finding the healer in the Emerald Grove, or finding other NPCs like The Scholar or Auntie Ethel.

If you've rescued the Druid Halsin and know that Moonrise Towers is a potential option, though, you can head straight to Moonrise Towers using the nearby Mountain Pass entrance.
