Baldur’s Gate 3: All Points of No Return in Act 1, 2, and 3

Baldur's Gate 3 is rich in stories and quests and is divided into 3 acts. When players progress through the main story and reach a certain point in the act, the game will block the earlier content, not letting players go back. For this reason, gamers may worry that they won't realize when they've reached this point and thus miss the opportunity to explore the area in their act better, learn some secondary storylines, or simply complete all the side quests.

This guide will provide everything needed to know about the points of no return in Acts 1, 2, and 3 of Baldur's Gate 3.

BG3: All Points of No Return

When players reach the end of a certain Act in Baldur's Gate 3, the game will show them notifications; however, it is still useful for them to know the specific locations that are points of no return to prepare for the transition to the next part in advance. In addition, in some Acts, gamers will still be able to travel to earlier locations but will miss a bunch of interesting storylines or secondary quests.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Act 1 Point of No Return

Shadow Lands is the area that brings players to Act 2. After passing through Mountain Pass or Underdark, a message will pop up to let players know that they still have the option to finish additional content before entering the next act. However, when players choose to continue, all the major characters will also be transported to the next part of the world, so gamers will have a chance to finish side quests.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Act 2 Point of No Return

When players complete Gauntlet of Shar in the next act, all locations from Act 1 will be locked, and the farthest they can still go back to is Shadow Lands. Just before proceeding to Find The Nightsong, the game will again give a notification that this is a point of no return, and for gamers, this will be the best moment to finish everything they want to before moving on.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Act 3 Point of No Return

The final ending of Act 2, as well as the last opportunity for gamers to complete all quests and explore Shadow Lands, will be the defeat of the boss Ketheric Thorm, after which they, along with their companions, will leave Moonrise Towers and head to Baldur's Gate. This will be the point after which everything that happened before will be completely blocked, so players should take some time to level up before heading to Baldur's Gate.

And the last point of no return in the game is Elder Brain. Whatever fans choose to do with it, there is no way to keep playing the game after the main storyline is over.
