Circus of the Last Days → Rivington General
The Circus of the Last Days is a Location within Rivington in Act Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It is found along the road to Wyrm's Crossing and directly south of the Open Hand Temple.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Circus of the Last Days itself is an extraplanar circus which moves from plane to plane, "thrilling all" who stop by. The circus is home to an eclectic assortment of members, run by ringmaster Lucretious Lucretious. Some members of the circus are performing as part of a "time debt", some rescued, and others simply arrived and never left.

Access[edit | edit source]

The circus is set up just north of the entrance to Rivington, adjacent to the Open Hand Temple and the graveyard. Klaus Klaus and the circus' principle sniffer, Benji, are guarding the main entrance to prevent murderers from entering. Klaus can be Persuaded or Deceived to gain entry.

One of the following dialogue options grants access to the circus.

  • [PERSUASION] I'm not a threat to you or anyone else in the circus - I swear it. (DC 15)
  • [DECEPTION] I'm a friend of Lord Gortash. I wonder what he'll say if I tell him about this... (DC 18)
  • [WIZARD] [WARLOCK] [DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. I do a magic show. (DC 10)
  • [WILD MAGIC SORCERER] [DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired to do a magic show. Fingers crossed no one blows up this time! (DC 10)
  • [DRACONIC SORCERER] [DECEPTION] I've just been hired as a firebreather. Let's hope nothing catches light. (DC 10)
  • [ROGUE] [DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. I juggle knives. (DC 10)
  • [MONK] [DECEPTION] I've actually just been hired. I do martial arts. (DC 10)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] I'LL MAKE YOU SMELL OF DEAD MEAT. MOVE. (DC 18)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] You can smell the blood of my enemies, that is all. Want to join my scent? (DC 18)
  • [ARCHFEY] [INTIMIDATION] Unless you seek the wrath of the Seelie Court, you will let me pass. (DC 18)
  • [DARK URGE] [PERSUASION,DECEPTION] I used to be a killer, but I've reformed my ways. (DC 10)
  • [BARD] [DECEPTION] I’ve actually just been hired. Meet your new bard! (DC 10)
  • [INTIMIDATION] Let me in, or I snap you in two. (DC 18)
  • Surely we can come to an agreement? (200)

There are also several other points of entry: a gap in the fence north of the main gate, at X: 22 Y: -34; an iron gate leading from a courtyard in the Open Hand Temple X: -74 Y: -13; and an iron gate leading from the temple's graveyard at X: -101 Y: -41.

Gaining access to the circus by any means earns the Inspirational Event The Right Oil for Any Situation (Noble background). Gaining access by deception earns the Inspirational Event Seams of Lavender and Thyme (Charlatan background).

The circus[edit | edit source]

Over on the southern side, Zara the Mummy is selling clown face-paints (along with clothing dye and disguise kits).

Nearby, the dryad Zethino can give a test of love, which is a way to earn approval with a romantic interest. Zethino is one of Orin Orin's possible disguises. The real Zethino can only be encountered if Orin has already been discovered twice.

Off in the south-western corner, Boney and his wife Stoney are taking commissions for a Sculpture of the True Hero of Baldur's Gate. North of their stall is Popper, who is selling all kinds of "rescued" goods.

In the ringmaster's tent in the north-western corner is Lucretious, who is trying to get her skeletons in order. Further east, on the northern side of the circus, the beast cages hold Shadow-Whiskers the displacer beast and Crimson the dilophosaurus. Finally, in the north-eastern corner, Dribbles the Clown is performing his new comedy routine with the help of a volunteer.
