Decide whether to give Lady Esther the Githyanki egg or the Owlbear egg in Baldur's Gate 3. Learn about Lady Esther's location, dialogue choices, and consequences.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find Lady Esther: Travel through the Mountain Pass. Follow the road northwest from the Trielta Crags waypoint. Lady Esther is camped in an enclave to the northeast, off the main path.
  2. 2
    Dialogue with Lady Esther: She reveals she needs a Githyanki egg for the Society of Brilliance in Baldur's Gate, who claim they want to raise the spawn peacefully.
  3. 3
    Decide on the Egg: You can choose to help her get the Githyanki egg or potentially offer an Owlbear egg (though the guide focuses on the Githyanki egg).
  4. 4
    Getting the Githyanki Egg: This is the main challenge. You have several options:
    • Persuade for Upfront Payment: Attempt a difficult persuasion check to get around 260 gold before undertaking the task.
  5. 5
    Enter the Githyanki Creche: This is a dangerous area. Save your game before entering Rosymorn Monastery. You can try to pass dialogue checks to gain entry without immediate conflict.
  6. 6
    Obtain the Egg:
    • Sneaking/Distraction: Difficult due to guard placement. Requires careful party positioning and timing.
  7. 7
    Combat: Fight the Githyanki guards in the Hatchery. This is easier if your party is level 4+ and well-equipped. Close the Oak Door to prevent patrols from interfering.
  8. 8
    Dialogue with Varsh Ko'kuu: The easiest method. Save before attempting dialogue. Use Persuasion checks to convince Varsh Ko'kuu, the Hatchery Custodian, to let you take the egg. This also allows you to obtain his boots without taking damage from the acid water.
Tips
  • Make a manual save before entering the Githyanki Creche to retry if you fail checks or combat.
  • Consider the party's strength and available skills (especially Charisma/Persuasion) when deciding on an approach.
  • Be aware of Repulsion Mines in the Hatchery.
  • Closing the Oak Door in the Hatchery can help contain combat.
  • Around 260 gold if you succeed in a persuasion check for upfront payment.
  • Varsh Ko'kuu's Boots if you successfully persuade him.
  • The Githyanki egg itself, which has narrative consequences.
