Marked as a quest item. Reading it never updated my journal?
Posted On: March 13, 2026

I've had sooo many playthroughs and this quest item never made sense. I think I have a memory of it working in early patches - lately I haven't triggered anything from it. Not even dialogue reactions. .


This makes me wonder: what's the point of this item?


Question from user Medium-Theme-4611 at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.


Answer:

It’s meant to update the journal to suggest that the Goblins may have more than one leader. However if you find this out via Zevlor it doesn’t update anything.


I could have sworn I’ve seen the journal update pop up before after using it, but it could be glitched.
