Nettie is a Dwarf Druid NPC in Baldur's Gate 3. She can be found healing a bird inside the Druids' Chamber at the Druid Grove. Nettie is an apprentice of Halsin.

Can be spoken to with Speak with Dead.

Chapter One

The player will find Nettie healing an injured bird. After talking, she will reveal those birds are being sent to find her teacher, Halsin. The player can then ask Nettie to help them with the tadpole. She will then guide the player to a secret room there.

If the player has been honest with her, Nettie will tell them that she has no idea how to deal with it and that it's not the first time she has heard of the True Soul. She will recommend the player to rescue Halsin because he is the only one who can know of a cure. She will give them Wyvern Poison and make them swear to drink it. Refusing the poison causes her to become hostile and attack the character/party.

If the player avoids her questions, she uses a thorn branch to poison the character. An antidote must be crafted before heading to find Halsin, should the player not realize she is trying to trick them.
