Wilderness: Difference between revisions

[[File:Wilderness.jpg|thumb|The Wilderness on a region map.]]

The '''Wilderness''' is a [[region]] comprised of multiple [[Location|locations]] in [[Chapter One]] of [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. In-game, it is also the name of one of the largest locations on the Act One main map; an area that connects most of the other locations in this region.

The Wilderness is a heavily forested area to the east of [[Baldur's Gate]]. A tribe of [[Goblin]]s have made their home there, as well as several other types of monsters. Overgrown ruins can also be found here alongside several entrances to the [[Underdark]].

It is the primary setting for the start of the game, and is visible on the map of the [[Over-world]].

=== Access ===

No special action is required to reach this [[region]]. After completing the [[Prologue]], the player will find themselves at a [[Location]] within the '''Wilderness''' known as the [[Ravaged Beach]].
