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.

Rivington is the southern-most district of Baldur's Gate, making up part of the outer city.

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.
