Makeshift Prison

The Makeshift Prison houses a metal cage and a rugged holding cell.

The Makeshift Prison is a Location within the Emerald Grove in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It primarily connects to The Hollow.

Overview

The main entry to the Makeshift Prison is through a shabby door near The Hollow at X: 190 Y: 585. If the party are caught committing crimes, they may be imprisoned here and their belongings locked in a nearby Equipment Chest.

When the party first enter the prison, they will find Arka aiming a crossbow at Sazza. The party can decide to intervene or watch the bloody scene unfold.

Freeing Sazza

If Arka spares Sazza's life, the party can initiate  Save the Goblin Sazza. Sazza can be freed using the Iron Cell Key held by Tilses or by passing a DC 10 Sleight of Hand check.

Hidden path

The Makeshift Prison has a slightly hidden path toward the north-east. Past Sazza's cage near X: 194 Y: 606, the party can jump down onto a ledge. On a DC 5 Perception check, the party gain access to a stone door with an Underground Passage leading outside.

Along the path behind the Makeshift Prison, the party can continue east onto another ledge to access the storage shed. Two Torchstalk plants grow along the route, which are identified with a DC 5 Perception check.
