Secret treasures and areas are all over the place inBaldur’s Gate 3. It’s virtually impossible to get every secret in any single playthrough as the combinations of choice and abilities will often limit what the party is capable of. Still, it’s reasonable to want to get as many hidden treasures as possible.

Baldur’s Gate 3dangles one particular secret area right in front of the faces of gamers who get into the Toll House Basement. It’s hard to call this room a “secret” because it appears on the map. But getting it open with the Stone Chairs can be a confusing and deadly process.

Each Stone Chair needs to be “sat” on at the same time to open this secret area. Players can actually have party members do this or they can simply drag vases over to each chair. Do not go into the room immediately. Look for a grey plate on the floor and avoid it. Whenplaying with friends, make sure everybody on the team knows not to step on it. When playing alone, deactivate Group Mode because a companion will automatically follow the player and step on the plate.
If playersdisabled the Sarcophagus trap, they’ll be familiar with this classic vent trap. All the traps seen earlier are vents that don’t activate until a trigger happens. These are triggered by the grey plate at the entrance of the secret room.
Players who don’t want to bother with jumping can set vases on each of the vents and then walk on the plate as normal. There are two vents in the secret room itself, so be sure to place vases on those as well before safely stepping on the plate.
