Learn how to rescue imprisoned Tieflings from Moonrise Towers Prison in Baldur's Gate 3. This guide covers finding them, freeing them, and the Potent Robe reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To begin the 'Rescue the Tieflings' quest, reach the Shadowlands and speak with Alfira at the Last Light Inn. She will inform you that some Tieflings have been captured and are held at Moonrise Towers.
  2. 2
    Before reaching Moonrise Towers, you'll need a Moon Lantern to navigate the Shadowlands safely. You can obtain one by summoning or ambushing Kar’niss.
  3. 3
    As you approach Moonrise Towers, you'll encounter the Tollhouse. To the left, before the bridge, you'll hear cries for help. Investigate to find Rolan being attacked by Shadow enemies. Quickly defeat the Shadows and heal Rolan to prevent him from becoming a Shadow-Cursed Undead.
  4. 4
    After saving Rolan, speak with him. He will express frustration about his weakness and his own attempt to infiltrate Moonrise Towers. He will then return to the Last Light Inn, where you can witness a cutscene with the rescued Tieflings.
  5. 5
    Once inside Moonrise Towers, head to the western part of the ground floor and follow the trail of blood downstairs to the Prison.
  6. 6
    The Tieflings are located in Prison Cell Four. In Prison Cell Two, you will find Wulbren and some Gnomes.
  7. 7
    Convince the Tieflings that you are there to help them.
  8. 8
    Speak with Wulbren. He reveals the Gnomes' plan to escape through an underground dock by breaking down a wall. They will assist the Tieflings if you provide them with bludgeoning weapons (hammers, maces, etc.), as only Force and Bludgeoning damage will affect the wall.
  9. 9
    There are multiple methods to free the prisoners. One approach involves giving Wulbren bludgeoning weapons and having him break down the wall. Simultaneously, use a method like Misty Step (spell, scroll, or amulet) to enter the Tieflings' cell and break down their cell wall from the inside.
  10. 10
    The guards will be alerted, and a fight will ensue against The Warden, prison guards, and Scrying Eyes. Prioritize eliminating the Scrying Eyes to prevent reinforcements.
  11. 11
    During the escape, some Tieflings and Gnomes may attempt to rejoin the fight from the boat. Protect them at all costs, even though they are not very effective in combat. Wulbren will eventually force all NPCs to move towards the boat.
Tips
  • It is crucial to attempt the Tiefling rescue before completing other Moonrise Towers quests, especially those related to 'Infiltrating Moonrise Towers,' to avoid locking yourself out of this quest due to irreversible consequences.
  • If you side with Kar'niss for his Moon Lantern, you will need to find another lantern inside Moonrise Towers.
  • When fighting the prison guards and Warden, focus on destroying the Scrying Eyes first to prevent them from calling for backup.
  • Ensure you protect the Tieflings and Gnomes who might try to return to the cells during the escape.
  • Completing this quest and rescuing the Tieflings and Gnomes can lead to various rewards, including the Potent Robe, which can be found or obtained through specific actions within Moonrise Towers, often related to the prison escape.
