Complete the Masterwork Weapon quest in baldurs gate 3 by finding Highcliff's Blueprints in the Blighted Village and Sussur Bark in the Underdark.
Walkthrough
- 1Travel to the Blighted Village, located west of the Emerald Grove. You may need to pass a 2 DC Wisdom check using the [Illithid] [Wisdom] dialogue option to avoid immediate combat with the Goblins.
- 2Unlock the waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination) in the center of the village.
- 3Head north towards the narrow path with a wagon, then go east and enter the building.
- 4In the adjacent room, attack the calcified web covering a hole with a torch or Fire Bolt.
- 5Jump down the hole into the basement.
- 6To find the quest item, locate the chest opposite the Melting Furnace. Be aware this chest is trapped and requires disarming.
- 7Opening this chest grants Highcliff’s Blueprints, which starts the “Finish the Masterwork Weapon” quest. The blueprints indicate you can craft a Sickle, Dagger, or Greatsword using Sussur Bark.
- 8To find Sussur Bark, return to the room with the Melting Furnace. To its right is a Cracked Wall; attack it with a weapon until it becomes rubble and reveals an entrance.
- 9Enter the new passage, which leads to a cave system inhabited by spiders and Ettercaps, including Phase Spiders that can teleport.
- 10Make your way northwest towards a large hole. You will encounter fights against Phase Spiders and Ettercaps, and eventually the Phase Spider Matriarch boss along with other Phase Spiders near the hole.
- 11You can attempt to sneak past enemies using web bridges, but this may alert them due to vibrations. Spells like Shadowheart’s Pass Without Trace can aid in stealth.
- 12If you choose to fight, ensure your party has ranged attack capabilities. Breaking web bridges with fire can cause enemies, including the Matriarch, to fall and take significant damage (up to 35 damage).
- 13Be prepared to deal with acid damage.
- 14To bypass the Matriarch fight, precast Feather Fall on your party and jump into the hole beneath her.
- 15If fighting the Matriarch, she can spit venom or phase (teleport) around. She may also hatch eggs that spawn small spiders. Karlach is effective for damage, and Shadowheart can cure poisons and buff the party.
- 16Descend into the hole with Feather Fall active to reach the Underdark.
- 17Navigate the Underdark, being aware of environmental hazards like confusion-inducing Timmask mushrooms, exploding Bibberbang and Torchstalk mushrooms, and Anti-magic-inducing Sussur Flowers.
- 18The Sussur Tree, where you can obtain Sussur Bark, is located to the west.
- 19Use the Melting Furnace in the Blighted Village basement to infuse a weapon with Sussur Bark once you have obtained it.
Tips
- It is recommended to be around level 4 before entering the Underdark.
- Bring healing potions, food supplies, and at least one scroll of Feather Fall.
- Phase Spiders can teleport, making them difficult to track.
- Breaking web bridges with fire can deal significant damage to enemies and potentially bypass encounters.
- Be prepared to cure or prevent acid damage.
- The Sussur Tree is surrounded by Sussur Flowers that create an anti-magic field.
