The Nautiloid Wreck is a Location within the Wilderness in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It is located north-west of the entry point at which the player arrives after the events of the Prologue. It can be seen on the map as a violet structure with Mind Flayer motifs.

Overview

The Nautiloid Wreck is the result of the Nautiloid crashing into Faerûn upon completion of the prologue. It is one of the first places that can be explored after the player character wakes up on the beach.

Near its southeastern entrance are a trio of Intellect Devourers at X: 230 Y: 271, although if  Shadowheart is chosen as an Origin character, only two are present. The Intellect devourers are hostile to the party on sight. However, it is possible to avoid the fight by climbing up the cliff at X: 260 Y: 285, circumventing the wreck altogether.

Throughout the wreck a few mind flayer corpses can be found, each containing random loot.

A dying  Mind Flayer is in the northern section of the Nautiloid Wreck at X: 180 Y: 320. Killing it grants the ⁠To Sleep, Perchance To Dream Tentacled Dreams inspiration to the  Dark Urge. Sparing it and succumbing to its influence kills the party member who interacts with it.

After exploring the shipwreck, there are several options to proceed: to the west to another piece of the rivershore, to the east to the Roadside Cliffs area and waypoint, and to the northeast, near the Emerald Grove environs.
