Finding Mol in Baldur's Fate 3 is quite important if you've been pickpocketed by one of the Tiefling kids at the Grove, as you might be able to get your stuff back. A precocious thief and a fan favourite Baldur’s Gate 3 character, finding Mol can be tricky, especially if you aren’t playing a small character like a Gnome or a Halfling or you're not prepared to take on several harpies. Below, we've laid out a few ways you can find the elusive Mol in Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3.

The best way to find Mol in BG3 is to get the codeword:

  1. In the Emerald Grove, head down the sandy path leading to your left as you come down the stairs near the Sacred Pool. You'll find a beach.
  2. After noting the pretty melody being sung somewhere in the distance, talk to the tiefling boy and help him defeat the harpies when they attack. This will win you some brownie points with Mol, as she's always looking out for the children of the Emerald Grove and keeping an eye on how you treat them.
  3. The child will tell you to find another tiefling kid called Doni somewhere else in Emerald Grove, and to tell him that you want to see the Dragon's Lair. You can find Doni near the Baldur's Gate 3 Strange Ox, and he's standing right in front of the entrance to Mol's hideout.

Alternatively, you might be looking for Mol because you've had your things stolen. This happens when you fail a perception check while talking to a thief masquerading as a trader. They will direct you to the hole in the wall to speak with Mol, but again, you might need to pass the perception check and speak with Doni to reach it.

If you don’t have the password and haven’t seen the hatch behind Doni, all is not lost. Go down the ladder behind Doni and pass a DC 5 Perception check and you’ll find a small hole in the rockface. You can sneak through this gap into the hideout, but you’ll need to be a small character. If you aren’t a Halfling or a Gnome, you can use the spell Disguise Self to become one, or Gaseous Form to turn into a gas and go through the gap.

Bear in mind that Mol will also show up in the Last Light Inn in Baldur's Gate 3 Act 2 and in the Guildhall in Act 3!
