'''Act Three''' of [[Baldur's Gate 3]] is the final act of the game, taking place as the player arrives at the city of [[Baldur's Gate]] after leaving the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] at the end of [[Act Two]].

After discovering the plans of the [[Cult of the Absolute]], and the means to cure themselves of their tadpoles, the party must travel to Baldur's Gate to confront the leaders of the cult, and decide the fate of the [[Absolute]]. 

While in the city, there are old friends to meet, old enemies to be dealt with, and new allies to be made.

Act Three is the final act of the game, concluding all companion stories and the main quest-line of the game. Discovering the leaders of the cult of the Absolute while searching for {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}} in the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] below Moonrise Towers, the party learns the true identity of the Absolute, and the means by which it is controlled.

Rivington is the southern-most district of Baldur's Gate, making up part of the outer city. Due to the Absolute's army marching towards the Gate, many displaced peoples have travelled there seeking refugee. However, the refugees have been barred from the city, and are instead set up in camps around Rivington, with a [[Requisitioned Barn]] holding donations.

Within Rivington, the [[Circus of the Last Days]], [[Open Hand Temple]] and [[Gur Camp]] can be found, as well as the places of business; [[Rivington General]] and [[Sword Coast Couriers]].
