=== Obtaining a Bank Pass ===
=== Obtaining a Bank Pass ===
To enter further into the bank, you must show a [[Bank Pass]] to [[Cashguard Captain Faril]]. You can purchase a Bank Pass from [[Head Clerk Meadhoney]] for a large sum of gold, or if you succeed in a {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}} or a passive [[Insight]] check you get the option to persuade him into giving you a "temporary" pass which is, in fact, just a normal pass, or just steal one from the Head Clerk's office upstairs, on a cabinet at {{Coords|-102|-180}}. After proceeding through [[Aid the Underduke]], you can also make a [[Persuasion]], [[Intimidation]], or [[Deception]] to convince Meadhoney to give you a pass.
To enter further into the bank, the party must show a {{SmRarityItem|Bank Pass}} to {{CharLink|Faril|Cashguard Captain Faril}} or use diplomacy. The Bank Pass will allow access to the lower levels of the bank, including the safes and vaults.  


The Bank Pass will get you access to the lower levels of the bank, including the safes and vaults.
The pass can be purchased from {{CharLink|Bloris Meadhoney|Head Clerk Meadhoney}} for a large sum of gold. Alternatively, if a {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}} or [[Insight]] check during the dialogue is succeeded, the party can persuade him into giving a "temporary" pass which is, in fact, just a normal pass. Alternatively  the pass can be stolen from the Head Clerk's office upstairs, on a cabinet at {{Coords|-102|-180}}. If progressing through the [[Aid the Underduke]] quest, it's also possible to succeed a [[Persuasion]], [[Intimidation]], or [[Deception]] check to convince Meadhoney to give the pass to the party.
 
=== The Counting House - Safes ===
[[File:Konstantin-melnik-vaults1.png|thumb|right|Safes in the Counting House]]
The Counting House Safes are found immediately after proceeding down the stairs and through the Vault Door at {{Coords|-91|-158}}. Each safe is tucked behind an ornate iron door that cannot be interacted with; bypassing each requires teleportation like {{SAI|Misty Step}}, {{SmRarityItem|Arrow of Transposition}}, or intangibility effects like {{Sai|Gaseous Form}}. The locks cannot be picked while in Gaseous Form. Level 10 transmutation wizards can pass through the vaults with {{SAI|Shapechanger}} for no resource cost by flying around the gates. These safes each have a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|20}} lock. The contents of each safe and where to find its key is listed in [[The_Counting_House#Notable loot|the Loot section]] of this article. The keys follow the naming convention "Counting House Safe n°X Key". Lockpicking and looting these vaults will '''not''' trigger any security response.

=== The Counting House - Vaults ===
The Counting House Safes are found after a right turn immediately after proceeding down the stairs and through the Vault Door at {{Coords|-91|-158}}. Each safe is tucked behind an ornate iron door that cannot be interacted with; bypassing each requires teleportation, like {{Sai|Misty Step}}, or intangibility effects, like {{Sai|Gaseous Form}}, keeping in mind that locks cannot be picked while under the latter condition. These safes each have a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|20}}. The keys for these vaults follow the naming convention "Counting House Safe n°X Key".
Through the door directly opposite the safes, on the left-hand side from the entry corridor, are the Counting House Vaults. Sigil circles protect each vault, teleporting trespassers back to the entryway should they walk, fly, or jump over them. These circles can be bypassed with effects like '''Misty Step''', careful jumping around their edges, or by disabling them by pressing the two buttons located at {{Coords|-971|797}} and {{Coords|-975|797}}. These buttons can be activated with a ranged attack. The sigils will {{em|still}} be present on the floor even after being deactivated, but they won't work anymore. These vaults each have a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|25}} lock. The contents of each vault and where to find its key is listed in [[The_Counting_House#Notable loot|the Loot section]] of this article. The keys follow the naming convention "Counting House Vault n°X Key". Lockpicking and looting these vaults will '''not''' trigger any security response.

Venturing into the High Security Vaults for the first time will trigger a battle between [[Cult of Bhaal|Bhaal Cultists]] and Counting House workers, with the cultists always hostile. The [[Reaper of Bhaal]] enemies start the fight invisible which, as a quirk, means they will occasionally not join the fight and be discovered when passing by them later on with {{cond|See Invisibility}}, or not at all. Winning the fight and speaking to head banker [[Rakath Glitterbeard]] will initiate the quest [[Return Rakath's Gold]].

=== Counting House Docks ===
=== Counting House docks ===
[[File:Counting House Docks.png|right|frameless|320x320px]]
[[File:Counting House Docks.png|thumb|right|Docks of the Counting House]]
Docks line the southwestern perimeter of the Counting House. Besides a door at {{Coords|-114|-193}} connecting to the antechamber descending into the vaults, the docks can also be reached from the southern end of [[Flymm Cargo]] and the east end of [[Water Queen's House]]. Being spotted by any of the patrols, which include two [[Steel Watcher (creature)|Steel Watchers]], will at best result in ejection, and at worst a fight.

Cargo boats and locked treasure chests are strewn about the docks. Each chest requires either a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|10 or 15}} to unlock; though none contain unique loot, claiming them all will garner a windfall of [[valuables]], [[scrolls]], [[potions]], and raw [[gold]]. Climbing to the top of the locked tower at {{Coords|-161|-219}}, the player can additionally find two {{RarityItem|Smokepowder Barrel|alias=Smokepowder Barrels}} and an excellent view of the city's port. Travelling west from there leads to the [[Lustrous Lass]], a ship steeped in disease and carrying a deadly [[Cursed Imp]] stowaway.

Entrance of The Counting House.
Lower City
The Bibliophile
↑
Flymm Cargo ← The Counting House → Old Garlow's Place
The Counting House is a Location within the Lower City in Act Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It is a heavily guarded banking and storage facility.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Counting House is found along the southern coast of the Lower City, between Flymm Cargo and Old Garlow's Place, and encompasses the counting house, it's underground storage facilities, and the docks to the south-west.

Obtaining a Bank Pass[edit | edit source]

To enter further into the bank, the party must show a Bank Pass to Faril Cashguard Captain Faril or use diplomacy. The Bank Pass will allow access to the lower levels of the bank, including the safes and vaults.

The pass can be purchased from Bloris Meadhoney Head Clerk Meadhoney for a large sum of gold. Alternatively, if a Detect Thoughts Detect Thoughts or Insight check during the dialogue is succeeded, the party can persuade him into giving a "temporary" pass which is, in fact, just a normal pass. Alternatively the pass can be stolen from the Head Clerk's office upstairs, on a cabinet at X: -102 Y: -180. If progressing through the Aid the Underduke quest, it's also possible to succeed a Persuasion, Intimidation, or Deception check to convince Meadhoney to give the pass to the party.

The Counting House - Safes[edit | edit source]

Safes in the Counting House

The Counting House Safes are found immediately after proceeding down the stairs and through the Vault Door at X: -91 Y: -158. Each safe is tucked behind an ornate iron door that cannot be interacted with; bypassing each requires teleportation like Misty Step Misty Step, Arrow of Transposition, or intangibility effects like Gaseous Form Gaseous Form. The locks cannot be picked while in Gaseous Form. Level 10 transmutation wizards can pass through the vaults with Shapechanger Shapechanger for no resource cost by flying around the gates. These safes each have a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check lock. The contents of each safe and where to find its key is listed in the Loot section of this article. The keys follow the naming convention "Counting House Safe n°X Key". Lockpicking and looting these vaults will not trigger any security response.

The Counting House - Vaults[edit | edit source]

Through the door directly opposite the safes, on the left-hand side from the entry corridor, are the Counting House Vaults. Sigil circles protect each vault, teleporting trespassers back to the entryway should they walk, fly, or jump over them. These circles can be bypassed with effects like Misty Step, careful jumping around their edges, or by disabling them by pressing the two buttons located at X: -971 Y: 797 and X: -975 Y: 797. These buttons can be activated with a ranged attack. The sigils will still be present on the floor even after being deactivated, but they won't work anymore. These vaults each have a DC 25 Sleight of Hand check lock. The contents of each vault and where to find its key is listed in the Loot section of this article. The keys follow the naming convention "Counting House Vault n°X Key". Lockpicking and looting these vaults will not trigger any security response.

The Counting House - High Security Vaults[edit | edit source]

Door to the High Security Vaults in the Counting House

At the deepest part of the Counting House, beyond a vault door requiring a DC 99 Sleight of Hand check, are the High Security Vaults. This "impossible" lock can be bypassed in numerous ways:

  • Entering the passcode to open the door by walking over four of the nine pressure plates in a correct order. Reading Flintdigger's Abridged Dwarven History (in the Head Banker's office on the top floor, at X: -93 Y: -181) hints at the password being 1-3-5-6.
    • Unlimited attempts are allowed, so it's possible to brute force the passcode until all four symbols are entered in the correct order.
  • As hinted in Cleaning Staff Note at X: -947 Y: 789 and Counting House Vault Rules in the stack of scrolls at X: -958 Y: 772, by creating an electrified surface and short-circuiting the lock.
  • Brute forcing Thieves' Tools on the door until a critical success is rolled.

Venturing into the High Security Vaults for the first time will trigger a battle between Bhaal Cultists and Counting House workers, with the cultists always hostile. The Reaper of Bhaal enemies start the fight invisible and hidden in the hall alcoves and will attempt to flank the opponents. Winning the fight and speaking to head banker Rakath Glitterbeard Rakath Glitterbeard will initiate the quest Return Rakath's Gold.

These high security vaults each have a DC 30 Sleight of Hand check lock that has Enchanted Security Enchanted Security which prevents Knock Knock spells from opening it. The contents of each vault and where to find its key is listed in the Loot section of this article. The keys follow the naming convention "High Security Vault n°X Key". Lockpicking and looting these vaults will not trigger any security response.

Counting House docks[edit | edit source]

Docks of the Counting House

Docks line the southwestern perimeter of the Counting House. They can be reached through the door at X: -114 Y: -193 connecting to the antechamber descending into the vaults, or from the southern end of Flymm Cargo and the eastern end of Water Queen's House. Being spotted by any of the dock patrols, which include two Steel Watchers, will at best result in ejection, and at worst a fight.

Cargo boats and locked treasure chests are strewn about the docks. Each chest requires either a DC 10 or 15 Sleight of Hand check to unlock. Though none of chests contain unique loot, claiming them all will garner a windfall of Valuables, Scrolls, Potions, and raw Gold. Two Smokepowder Barrels and an excellent vista of the city's port can be reached by climbing to the top of the locked tower at X: -161 Y: -219. Travelling west from there leads to the Lustrous Lass, a ship steeped in disease and carrying a deadly Cursed Imp stowaway.
