All Infernal Iron locations in Baldur’s Gate 3

The cast of characters you meet and interact with in Baldur’s Gate 3 are some of the highlights of the entire experience. Odds are most, if not all, will intrigue you in some way, encouraging you to learn more about them and to help them with their personal goals. Like plenty of RPGs, your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 all have unique companion quests that are unique to them that unlock at different stages of your adventure and relationship with them. Each one asks something different of you, with Karalach being one of the most unique and difficult. Karlach is in desperate need of a very rare resource and asks you to collect something called Infernal Iron. If you’re at a loss for where to find it, here are the places to look.

The first, you can find in the Blighted Village by entering the basement of the northern house. You can enter by somehow opening the locked door or getting in through the ceiling. This is also where you pick up the Masterwork Weapon quest. From the room with the forge, climb the ladder and interact with the locked chest. You, or a companion, will need to pick it to open it up and loot the Infernal Iron.

Our second piece is the Goblin Camp. Make your way to the Shattered Sanctum to the north behind Dror Ragzlin’s throne. There’s another locked door here you’ll need to bypass to enter the treasure room littered with valuables, including one piece of Infernal Iron.

The last piece of Infernal Iron we know of is the hardest to get to. The difficult part is just getting where you need to be, which is the Zhentarim Hideout. This is north of the Blighted Village up Risen Road where you come across a place called Waukeen’s Rest. The house will be on fire the first time you arrive, but instead of helping the soldiers, go through the alleyway to locate a house with some crates blocking the door. Get the crates out of the way and head inside to meet Salazon, who isn’t too happy to see you. You need to use Detect Thoughts to read his mind and get the password to avoid a fight and collect a key to the basement. Go down and use the key to unlock the hidden staircase finally leading you into Zhentarim Hideout.

On the north end of the hideout are two locked doors, but the one you need to break into is the one on the right. Behind it is a chest with the Infernal Iron.

Once you reach Act 3, Infernal Iron becomes a more common drop from the Iron Watcher enemies.

You can spend Infernal Iron with Dammon to repair Karlach’s heart as part of her quest, but only once per act.

Is Baldur’s Gate 3 cross-platform?
A Baldur's Gate 3 character lights the way.

The biggest CRPG of the year, if not ever, promises a huge adventure that you are encouraged to play cooperatively with up to four friends. While online play is expected in the modern era, Baldur's Gate 3 surprisingly also supports split-screen co-op on every PC and PS5 as well, meaning you can run an entire campaign with a friend side-by-side. As great as all that is, the vast majority of people will likely want to play with a friend in the comfort of their own homes, which might mean a PC player and a PS5 player will want to team up. Is that possible in Baldur's Gate 3? Here's a quick rundown of this game's cross-platform support.
Is Baldur's Gate 3 cross-platform?

In short, no, Baldur's Gate 3 will not allow for cross-platform play. If you are playing on PC, then anyone you want to play online with will also need to be on PC, and the same is true for PS5. While this is true for now, it is possible that Larian Studios may add cross-platform play in a future update, but for now, it is safer to assume it won't come and make your purchasing decision accordingly.

All romanceable characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 and how to romance them
A player conversation in Baldur's Gate 3.

Romance options are by no means new in the CRPG genre. Even more traditional RPGs have added romance options for certain characters, but each game handles the process of actually entering into a romantic relationship differently. Baldur's Gate 3 is packed with interesting characters and companions that could catch your eye. Even if you're not new to CRPGs, it's always a challenge to understand what a certain character will like or dislike, as well as what actually counts as moving closer to a relationship with them. Thankfully, Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian has made it so that there are no restrictions on who you can romance based on your chosen gender or race, so all that's left to do is study up on how to woo your dearly beloved.
All romance options and how to romance them
There are eight possible characters you can enter into a relationship in Baldur's Gate 3, including all available companions. Relationships are based on earning positive opinions from them and hinge on the actions you take in the world with them in your party. Even if what you're doing doesn't directly impact them, they will think differently based on what they see you do, so keep that in mind before you do something your love interest might think less of you for. Also, be sure to speak to them each time you go to camp to further their individual stories.

You can check the approval rating for all characters under the Detailed View section of your character sheet. Make sure it is high before you do the quest where you rescue the refugees.

How to level up fast in Baldur’s Gate 3: best ways to farm XP

Leveling up is important in almost every RPG, but for a CRPG as deep and ruthless as Baldur's Gate 3 can be, being underleveled can make many aspects of the game essentially impossible. Each level provides you with valuable points within your skills, but also the opportunity to learn new abilities for in and out of combat. If you're too focused on simply trying to complete the main story, sooner or later you will hit a wall and need to level up before you can progress. Or, if you're more interested in making sure you can crush any battle and pass any skill check without needing to use Inspiration Points to reroll, then knowing the best way to earn XP will get you there. Here's how you can level up fast in Baldur's Gate 3.
Fight, fight, fight!

Let's get the most obvious source of XP out of the way first. Every enemy you slay will deposit a nice, little chunk of XP toward your next level, with the amounts varying depending on the level of your enemies. There are a ton of optional fights in Baldur's Gate 3, such as some you can just happen to come across in your travels, but also others that you can choose to avoid by talking your way out of a confrontation. With the latter option, you will want to consider whether or not you're OK with potentially killing the specific person or group you will be fighting. Killing certain characters can have unforeseen consequences later on, but on the other hand, so can letting them live.
