In Baldur’s Gate 3, Pandirna is a paralysed Tiefling you can find in a locked shack near the back of the Emerald Grove. After an adventuring mishap, she’s paralysed from the waist down, but you can help her, if you like, assuming you've got the right spell (don't worry, martial characters, Baldur's Gate 3 provides a way of getting the spell for free!).
Doing so will get you either loot or a warm fuzzy feeling from being a kind soul, rather than a True Soul. Here’s what you need to do to rescue Pandirna in the grove shed.
How to find Pandirna in Baldur's Gate 3
You can find Pandirna in a locked cabin at the back of the grove, near where you find the imprisoned goblin. However, there's a guard nearby that will notice if you try and lockpick the door. The easiest way to get around that is to use Astarion's Fog Cloud spell to blind them, as you can then pick the door lock without alerting anyone.
Inside, you'll find Pandirna sitting on the floor with the following dialogue options:
Choosing 'I'm just looking around' will make her shout for the guards, and obviously attacking her will have a similar result. To avoid causing trouble, use whatever character roll option gives you the best chance and she won't cause any trouble, explaining she's taken a potion for strength but it's stopped her legs working.
How to cure Pandirna in Baldur's Gate 3
To cure Pandirna in Baldur's Gate 3, you can lift the paralysis with Shadowheart's Lesser Restoration spell, which is unlocked for Clerics, Bards and Druids at level 3, and for Paladins at level 5. If you don't have access to any of these classes, the Amulet of Silvanus, which is hidden under a rock near Ormn the bear, lets you use the spell.
Cast that and Pandirna will thank you, happy to turn a blind eye if you want to steal something. There's not much of value here anyway but if you really want to steal anything, use Astarion's Fog Cloud again to hide the chest Pandirna was sitting against and the Alchemist's Cabinet to the right of that. If you cover them both with fog you can open the chest to get the cabinet key and a few valuables, then use the key to get some poisons inside the cabinet.
Alternatively, if you wait until you've finished the Grove quest and the area is now empty, you can just take everything with no one to stop you.
