Learn how to break Yurgir's contract in Baldur's Gate 3. This guide covers finding Yurgir, dealing with the rats, and defeating Lythridor to claim your reward.

Alright, let's get this contract broken! To kick things off, you'll need to head into the Thorn Mausoleum. Keep pushing through until you reach the northeastern part of the area. Look for a Displacer Beast, and following it will lead you straight to Yurgir. Your main goal here is to pick the right dialogue options to convince him to let you search for a way out of his contract. For the specifics on whether to fight him or help him, check out our 'Should You Kill or Help Yurgir' guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once Yurgir agrees to let you find a way to break his contract, make your way to the western side of the area. You'll find some rubble you can jump down, leading to a wall you can climb down.
  2. 2
    This will drop you into a pit absolutely crawling with rats. To clear them out quickly, spam some Area-of-Effect spells like Cloud of Daggers, Cleave, or Ice Knife. Spells like Grease can be super helpful here too, as they'll stop the rats from swarming you all at once. Spirit Guardian is another good shout, as it'll zap any rats that get too close.
  3. 3
    After you've dealt with enough of the regular rats, one of them will transform into Lythridor, the final Dark Justiciar you need to defeat. It'll just be you against him at this point, so it shouldn't be too tough. Focus on using strong single-target spells like Eldritch Blast or Fireball to chip away at his health. Don't forget to buff your party's defense with Bless or Armour of Agathys to soak up some damage.
  4. 4
    If you've got the Hex skill, slap it on the Justiciar with your highest stat to really boost your damage. Once Lythridor is down, grab the Justiciar's Greatshield and Justiciar's Scimitar from its body. Head back to Yurgir, and after a brief scene, you'll snag the Umbral Gem and the quest will be complete.
Tips
  • If you're struggling with the rat swarm, spells that create difficult terrain or block off areas can be a lifesaver.
  • Don't forget to buff your party before the fight with Lythridor; it makes a big difference.
  • Focus fire on Lythridor once it appears.
