A character who passes the check can talk to the Strange Ox and make a {{Ability Check|Arcana|10}} to investigate further. Passing this check confirms the creature isn't what it appears to be. | ||
The player can talk to the Ox if the player has the ability to talk to animals, which player can get by drinking a potion from a closed chest at the cart near the ox. If the player successfully passes the dice roll checks, the Ox will say that he is heading to Baldur's gate. | The player can talk to the Ox if the player has the ability to talk to animals, which player can get by drinking a potion from a closed chest at the cart near the ox.

With [[Speak with Animals]], you continue the conversation you started in the [[Druid Grove]]. Regardless of what option you choose, you will need to pass either a {{Ability Check|Persuasion|14}}, or alternately [[Perception]] or [[Nature]] to continue. | ||
Succeeding results in the Ox telepathically showing you images of disfigured corpses with the sound of screaming in the background. Failing the check causes the conversation to end, but you are still able to continue speaking with the Ox, essentially skipping the check. | Succeeding results in the Ox telepathically showing you images of disfigured corpses with the sound of screaming in the background.

Approaching him will again trigger a {{Ability Check|Insight|10}} check to confirm his likeness. This time, the Ox is glad to see you. He was worried about your mental health since your last encounter with him, but perhaps he's just faking it because he needs something from you. | ||
Just like in Act Two, you can question the Ox about his true nature and just like the last time, this will trigger him to become hostile and deform into his natural shape. Any other conversation path will lead to you obtaining the quest [[Help the Devilish Ox]]. If you decide to actually help the Ox, he will turn into an apple on the stable floor that can be picked up. The moment you enter the [[Lower City]] with him inside your inventory the quest ends and he disappears, leaving behind his [[Shapeshifter's Boon Ring|ring]] and a [[Slightly Slimy Note]]. | Just like in Act Two, you can question the Ox about his true nature and just like the last time, this will trigger him to become hostile and deform into his natural shape.
