In Baldur’s Gate 3, a scuffed rock can be found on a secluded beach near where you meet Astarion. This is no ordinary rock, however, as moving it can reveal treasure underneath, which can give you a decent amount of early-game funds, as well as giving you clues to follow to a treasure in Act 2. In this guide, we’ll show you how to move the rock and claim the treasure for your own.
How to move the scuffed rock in Baldur's Gate 3
The scuffed rock in Baldur's Gate 3 is found on the little path along the beach just South of where you encounter Astarion, jumping over a small gap to a little cave. When you're close, the characters in the party will roll a passive Nature check. If they pass, the Scuffed Rock is highlighted as an item. Then simply take over a character with high strength, like Lae'zel or Karlach, and when you're in control of them, simply click and hold the Left Mouse Button on the scuffed rock and drag it to move it. If you're playing on PS5, press square to bring up the interactions list on the rock and have a strong character pick "move".
- Harper's Map (leading to a further treasure in the Baldur's Gate 3 Underdark)
- Harper's Notebook
- Ruby
- Potion of Speed (x2)
- Gold (x13)
- Agate
This is a good way to make some money early on, as the Ruby and Agate can both be sold to merchants when you find them - plus the Potions of Speed can come in clutch for certain more difficult battles. And of course, once you make it to the Underdark much later in the game, there's a chance to get further loot as directed on the map. The only tricky bit is that if your characters fail the passive nature check, they won't know there's a rock to move - try reloading the save to try again, or swap out new Baldur's Gate 3 party members so they can try and spot it.
