}}'''Nere''', also known as '''[[True Soul]] Nere''', is a potential boss in [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. In [[Chapter One]] he can be found at [[Grymforge]], trapped inside a room that suffered a cave-in. He's a pivotal character for the [[Free True Soul Nere]] and [[Deliver Nere's Head]] quests.

A group of enslaved [[Gnome|Deep Gnomes]] under the whip of [[Duergar]] are trying to free a True Soul from a cave-in near the main room of the [[Grymforge]]. To save him, the gnomes tell you to go find [[Philomeen]], a runaway gnome in possession of an explosive capable of destroying the rubble.

'''WARNING:''' Visiting the [[Campsite]] twice after discovering Nere is trapped will cause his death and the death of those who are trapped with him.

After freeing him, the player can decide to kill him and his mercenaries to save the slave gnomes. The player may also convince [[Elder Brithvar]] and his companion, another duergar at the entrance of the main room, to side against Nere, making the fight easier. Alternatively, you can betray Brithvar and convince Nere and the Absolute Cultists to turn on the mercenaries.   

If you choose to defy Nere when he kills the gnome slaves, or when demands that you kill the other cultists, and you don't have a deal with Elder Brithvar, you will be forced to fight Nere and all of the duergar at the same time.   

Regardless of his status, the player will receive a {{SmIconLink|Broken Moonlantern Icon.png|Broken Moonlantern}}, a precursor to a crucial item needed to travel through the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] in order to get to [[Moonrise Towers]]. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this lantern before going to the Moonrise Towers, rendering this item useless, as you will find a working moonlantern before you get a chance to fix this one.

If you manage to keep Nere alive in the Grymforge, he will appear briefly in Act 2.
