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.

It is is a heavily forested area in [[Elturgard]]<ref>Dialogue when interacting with Zevlor's Map: "If this map is accurate, we are in Elturgard. Baldur's Gate is some ways still."</ref><ref>''[[Findings from the Hinterlands - New Edition]]''</ref>, covering a segment of the [[Risen Road]] and the [[River Chionthar]] somewhere between [[Elturel]] and [[Baldur's Gate]].

[[File:Wilderness-Map-SE.png|200px|thumb|right|The map areas that constitute the SE quadrant of the Wilderness.]]
==== Ravaged Beach ====
The [[Ravaged Beach]] is in the most SE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This area is labeled on the player minimap and is recognizable as the starting location for the player storyline.


This location is adjacent to the south of the [[Chapel Entrance]], and southeast of an unnamed region of the map where [[Nautiloid]] wreckage still burns, known only as the [[Roadside Cliffs]].
=== Ravaged Beach ===
''For more information see: [[Ravaged Beach]]''
 
Located on the bank of the [[River Chionthar]], and the far south-east of the mini-map, the [[Ravaged Beach]] is dominated by the wreck of a [[nautiloid]].. Corpses of fishermen and [[Intellect Devourer]]s dot the area. There are several makeshift docks, but both them and the fishing boats that used them seem to have been destroyed. To the north-west is a door to the [[Dank Crypt]], while to the north is the [[Emerald Grove]].
 
This is the [[Location]] the player arrives at immediately after the events of the [[Prologue]], and where the player is likely to encounter [[Shadowheart]] for the first time.
 
=== Nautiloid Wreck ===
''For more information see: [[Nautiloid Wreck]]''


==== Chapel Entrance ====
The Nautiloid Wreck from the Prologue divides the Ravaged Beach. A couple surviving [[Intellect Devourer]]s may pose a threat to unprepared players.  
The [[Chapel Entrance]] is a location in the SE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This location is just one portion of the [[Overgrown Ruins]]. This area is labeled on the player minimap and is recognizable as a crumbling edifice on a cliff.


This location is adjacent to the north of the [[Ravaged Beach]], and an unnamed region of the map known only as the [[Roadside Cliffs]].
The companion Astarion can be found close by the Nautiloid Wreck {{Coords|170|288}}.


==== "Roadside Cliffs" ====
=== Harper Cache ===
'''Roadside Cliffs''' is a location in the SE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This area is <u>'''''unnamed'''''</u> on the player minimap and is recognizable for containing the burning wreckage of the [[Nautiloid]], as well as an upward winding roadway.
West of the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] on the far side of the beach is an old Harper's Cache. It can be found down a ledge near the water is a scuffed rock {{Coords|141|282}}. Succeeding on a [[Nature]] check will reveal deep grooves around it. If a character [[Strength|strong]] enough can move the rock, an Ornate Chest underneath will be revealed.
{{Chest|contents=
* 2 {{RarityItem|Potions of Speed}}
* {{RarityItem|Harper's Map}}
* {{RarityItem|Harper's Notebook}}
* A small amount of gold and gemstones.}}


This location is adjacent to the south of the [[Druid Grove]] the east of the [[Forest]].
=== Roadside Cliffs ===
The '''Roadside Cliffs''' sprawl north of the Nautiloid Wreck and south of the [[Emerald Grove]], between the Forest in the west, and the [[Overgrown Ruins]] in the east.  


=== North East ===
The Roadside Cliffs are littered with broken Goblin traps. A malfunctioning Waypoint can be interacted with to find another companion, [[Gale]], who needs a hand after some wizardry went awry. A fully functional trap holds another potential companion, [[Lae'Zel]], who has been captured by tieflings.

==== Silvanus' Grove ====
* {{SmIconLink|Waypoint Map Icon.png|Waypoint}}: [[#Roadside Cliffs|Roadside Cliffs]] {{Coords|222|326}}
[[Silvanus' Grove]] is a settlement zone in the most NE quadrant of the '''Wilderness''' map. This area is named on the player world map for the waypoint, with more precise locations (such as [[Druid Grove]]) named on the player minimap. It is recognizable for its population of local Emerald Enclave druids who are hosting refugee tieflings fleeing from the city of Elturel.
 
==== Harper Outpost ====
Tucked away high in the Roadside Cliffs is a Harper Outpost, featuring a watchtower and a small spider-filled crevice {{Coords|160|373}}. A [[Silver Pendant]] can be found on a skeleton in the outpost {{Coords|152|366}}, while a less arachnophobic player can procure a [[Spider Egg Sac]].
