Nere, also known as True Soul Nere, is a potential boss in Baldur's Gate 3. In Act 1 he can be found at Grymforge, trapped inside a room that suffered a cave-in. He's a pivotal character for the Free True Soul Nere and Deliver Nere's Head quests.
Act 1
Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
A group of slave Deep Gnomes under the whip of Duergar is trying to get a True Soul out of rubble at the main room of the Grymforge. To save him, the gnomes tell you to go find Philomeen, who has an explosive capable enough of destroying the cave-in.
WARNING: Resting twice after meeting Nere will cause his death and the death of those who are trapped with him.
After freeing him, the player can decide to kill him and his mercenaries to save the slave gnomes. The player may convince Brithvar and his friend, the duergar at the entrance of the main room, to side against Nere, to make the fight easier. After defeating him, the player can remove his head to bring it to either Spaw or Glut.
Should the player decide to fight his mercenaries before freeing him, an option to convince him that the Absolute is a group of cultists will appear once freed.
Regardless of his status, the player will receive a Broken Moonlantern, a crucial item to travel trough the Shadowcursed Lands in order to get to Moonrise Towers.
