How to Get Karlach as Quickly as Possible in Baldur's Gate 3

IS THIS REALLY NEEDED?

Before you leap to the comments (perhaps taking fall damage) to tell me this isn’t necessary: You’re probably right!

Put simply, the Karlach Cliffstrat takes advantage of a quirk of Baldur’s Gate 3’s map, which allows you to jump from a high cliff

You can go ahead and play through the beginning of the game as you like, until you find yourself alone on a beach with a wrecked ship.

STEP 1A: START THE GAME AND ASSEMBLE A PARTY

STEP 1B: FIND GALE

If you’re playing a character with less than, ohhhh, 30 hit points, make a beeline to roughly 222,323 in the map coordinates and pick up Gale.

STEP 2: GET INSIDE THE DRUID GROVE

Once you have a full party, you can march directly to the Druid Grove, located at roughly 207,423.

STEP 3: GET TO THE CLIFF

Proceed through the door and you’ll be in the “Secluded Chamber.” Again, you can ignore all the NPCs in here and go straight for the ladder .

STEP 4: SCREW YOUR COURAGE TO THE STICKING PLACE

From here, depending on your draw distance settings, you may even be able to see Karlach.
