BG3 Investigate the Suspicious Toys Quest Guide
You can start the Investigate the Suspicious Toys side mission byexploring Arfur’s basement. This can be accessed through the house entrance at the coordinates X:13, Y: -95.
If youdetect Arfur Gregorio’s thoughtswhen speaking with him in front of his home, he will give you a hint about the underground area. As a result, you canclear out the debris in the room at the top-right corner of the house to discover a hatch.
When exploring Arfur’s basement, you must be careful with the numerous firework traps. I recommendusing a unit with a high Perceptionto help you notice the wires that can set off the traps. Luckily, you can jump past these obstacles and reach theworking space in the southeast part of the roomto progress further in the Investigate the Suspicious Toys mission.
You must unlock the Heavy Chest on the left side of the desk by passing aDexterity Check. Inside, you will discover some gold and aBlackmail Letterthat you must read.
Your next objective is to head to theRequisitioned Barn northwest of Arfur’s Mansion to convince Manip Nestorto let you examine the donations by passing aPersuasion Check. Once the Flaming Fist agrees, you canlocate a box full of teddy bears on the north side of the barn(X:82 Y:-108).
The toys will make a noise when you approach the box. If you pass an Investigation Check, you will get the option todisarm the trap, but if not you should be prepared to take some damage. Regardless of your success in disabling the explosive,you must speak with Manip Nestor againto tell him about the suspicious toys.
Afterward, you will be tasked with locating Arfur Gregorio inSharess’ Caress in Wyrm’s Crossing. He will be watching Queen Rhol dancing on the stage inside thesouthernmost room in the building(X: 25 Y:74). You must confront the man and gain information about the source of the explosives.
Since Arfur is a coward, it doesn’t require a lot of intimidation to make him spill out his secrets for the Investigate the Suspicious Toys mission. He will tell you asecret passwordyou can use to gain access to the hidden explosive store.
Your next destination is aninconspicuous building south of the Sorcerous Sundries in the Lower City(X:2 Y:-123). You mustgive the password to one of the people inside Felogyr’s Fireworks, and you will gain access to the second floor. Here, you’re able to also buy a Smokepowder Bomb for 60 gold from Clerk Tamara.
Unfortunately, the only way to complete the mission is tokill everyone inside the building. The people running Felogyr’s Fireworks are actively working with Gortash. It’s unlikely that they will stop working on their dangerous business.
It’s recommended to use the fireworks in the shop to your advantage, or else the shopkeepers will certainly use them against you. Usefire damageon the barrels and racks of fireworks to cause some hefty explosions, but beware of their blast radius — you don’t want to get caught in the fray.
