Welcome to the BG3 Temple of Bhaal guide. This guide will show how to find the Temple of Bhaal and defeat Orin while her cultists are performing their ritual chant during Act 3 for the First Blood achievement or trophy.
Refer to the Baldur’s Gate 3 Achievements & Trophies Guide for details on the other achievements and trophies in the game.
BG3 First Blood
The developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 designed most questlines so that they may be completed in multiple ways. Thus, giving the players more freedom in how they approach situations. This guide represents one method that is confirmed to unlock this achievement or trophy.
Before attempting this achievement/trophy, make sure you become an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal. See the BG3 Murder in Baldur’s Gate Achievement & Trophy Guide for details. You will also want to fully rest before starting this guide.
Finding the Temple of Bhaal
The Temple of Bhaal is located in the sewers under the Lower City. After becoming an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal, you can gain entry through the door next to the Undercity Ruins waypoint. While interacting with the door, let it know that you are an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal (“I have proven my faith…”) and show it the Amulet of Bhaal.
Once you enter the door, you will notice the game auto saving. This is because you are about to be ambushed. This can be avoided by using a potion of invisibility on a fighter or similar character who can deal massive damage and take it as well. Have the character run to the top tower across the bridge and solo kill the Farslayer of Bhaal Ghislev which will end the fight. This enemy will teleport off the tower and other enemies will join the fight. Be ready to focus all effort on the Farslayer.
Temple of Bhaal
After the Farslayer is defeated, all other enemies will vanish. You should be in the northeast corner of the room, next to a large archway which is the pay to continue forward. Make sure you long rest before continuing. Then, enter the next area and work your way down the stairs on the right/east. They will lead to the door of Bhaal’s Temple after you pass by the waypoint. Use the Amulet of Bhaal once again to open this door, gaining entry to the temple.
Now, head down to the large circular area with a table on the east side of the room. Say whatever you want during the interaction with Orin. At some point, she will ask her father to join her and the battle will begin. Ignore all other targets and only attack Orin until she drops. Doing so will unlock the First Blood achievement or trophy.
