Baldur’s Gate 3: Secret Beach Cinematics Unveiled

Two years after its release, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to amaze players with its depth. Hidden interactions and story elements appear under specific conditions, meaning players can spend hundreds of hours in the Forgotten Realms and still miss content. One subtle detail has been present since the beginning, yet many players have yet to discover it. Reddit user Sweatygith revealed that most Baldur’s Gate 3 players have overlooked a secret on the beach where the character awakens after the nautilus prologue. While many players proceed directly into the main story, Larian Studios anticipated that some might attempt a long rest on the beach, even though it isn’t strictly necessary at that point. Like other long rests in the game, doing so triggers a unique cinematic tailored to the player’s character or one of the companions, such as Umberlee, Karlach, Lae’zel, Astarion, Wyll, Gale, or even a character with the Dark Urge origin. With Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios has again demonstrated their capabilities and is a strong contender for Game of the Year 2023. This success has led players to wonder about the studio’s future projects, though it may be some time before their next release.

Specification
Official NameBaldur's Gate III
Brief SummaryThe land of Faerûn is in turmoil. Refugees cross the wilds, fleeing the helltorn stronghold of Elturel. A vicious cult marches across the Sword Coast, uniting every race of monsters and men under the banner of a cryptic god they call the Absolute. Chaos strikes at Faerûn's foundations, and none may escape its talons. Not even you.

The grotesque nautiloid ship appears out of nowhere, blotting out the sun. Its writhing tentacles snatch you from where you stand. The mind flayers have come, imprisoning you on their ship, infecting you with their horrid parasite. You will become one of them.

By fate or fortune, you survive when the nautiloid crashes in the Sword Coast outlands. You set out for civilisation, desperate for a cure for the parasite festering in your brain, only to take centre stage in a conspiracy that runs as deep as the Nine Hells. New enemies await.

As for old foes... the shadows stir.
And all roads lead to the legendary city of Baldur's Gate.

An ancient evil has returned to Baldur's Gate, intent on devouring it from the inside out. The fate of Faerun lies in your hands. Alone, you may resist. But together, you can overcome.
