Act Two of Baldur's Gate 3 takes place after Act One, as the player enters the Shadow-Cursed Lands to reach Moonrise Towers.
Companions
Three additional companions can be recruited in Act Two if they survived the events of Act One and the player completes their requisite quests.
Summary
TBD
Point of no return
Travelling to the Shadow-Cursed Lands or Rosymorn Monastery Trail from Act One before resolving the Rite of Thorns will cause it to be completed, automatically ending most quests involving the tiefling refugees, and the goblin/druid conflict. Otherwise, the player will still be able to return to the Wilderness and Underdark and complete the majority of lingering quests at any point.
The point of no return in Act Two takes place much later, inside the Gauntlet of Shar. Another alert will trigger, and after this point it becomes impossible to return to the Wilderness; all of its waypoints will be inaccessible, and all incomplete quests will automatically end.
Quests
Main quests
The main quest of Act Two is Infiltrate Moonrise Towers. This main quest serves as a wrapper and is comprised of multiple sub-quests, which will become available to the Player Character once they begin interacting with the world and various Non-Player Characters.
