In this part of the Baldur’s Gate III Walkthrough, we will show you the unfolding of the quest “Discover the History of Prince Orpheus”. This Personal Quest begins when you find one of three forbidden Githyanki Discs mentioning Prince Orpheus. There are two in Act 1 and the third is in Act 2. We will deal with them here in chronological order.

The first part of the text is in the Ruined Tower of Lenore in the Underdark (picture1). Go to the penultimate floor of the tower and interact with the Engraved Githyanki Disc which is on the shelf shown on our screenshot (picture2). If you have Lae’zel in your team, a conversation begins immediately (picture3). Otherwise, you can go see her at camp to ask her to decipher it.

If you play as a Githyanki yourself, you will be able to read the text on your own. And if you no longer have Lae’zel in your team, you can find, on a table on the same floor, the disk “The Careful Art of Tir’su Ciphers” (pictures4-5). In any case, you learn part of the story of Prince Orpheus.

The second part of the text can be found in the Githyanki Crèche that you explore during the quest “Find the Githyanki Crèche”. When you go to the classroom (picture6), you witness an altercation between a teacher Sa’varsh Kethk and a student, young Varrl. If you manage to persuade the teacher with a Persuasion roll (picture7), you can then talk with young Varrl (picture8).

With Persuasion or by detecting his thoughts, you can make him talk about Prince Orpheus (picture9). Then use Deception, Intimidation or Persuasion to get him to give you the second book (pictures10-11).

Once again, the same translation conditions of the first volume apply. You can ask Lae’zel to translate it (picture12) or translate it yourself. You thus learn more of the story of Prince Orpheus, progressing the quest (picture13). You can also find the book on young Varrl’s body, if you fail your Persuasion roll.

The third and final book awaits you in Act 2, in the Moonrise Towers. We will soon update this page with new infos.
