Summary
The camp inBaldur’s Gate 3serves as a meeting ground for a hodgepodge of characters throughout the game. Players can have the tieflings throw a party at their camp after defeating the goblins, Arabella will seek refuge there after the death of her parents, and Volo hangs around for much of Acts 1 and 2. While each of these temporary residents has interesting individual dialogue and storylines (and some even havegreat merchant wares),letting Yenna reside at camp can unlock ararely seen shop.
[Warning: Spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3, Act 3.]
After speaking with Yenna upon entering Rivington, it’s quickly clear that the little girl’s mother isn’t coming back. Even players who tell her to leave them alone instead of offering her food or money will later find her at their camp, asking to stick around while she figures out what to do about her situation. Though Yenna initially promises the player she’ll cook for them and their companions, she doesn’t put her paring knife where her mouth is, so to speak.
“An Iconic, Engaging Mess Of Brilliant Ideas”: Baldur’s Gate 3 Review
Baldur’s Gate 3 is imposing in stature and its best moments are truly memorable, but some early issues with scale suggest an uneven experience.
Yenna Will Sell Soup At Camp In Act 3
But Only After A Very Specific Set Of Events
Speaking to her at camp provides no dialogue option to try her cooking – butthere is a specific set of events that will prompt her to open her soup shopand provide the player with a tasty meal. After Gortash warns the player thatOrin has infiltrated the camp, the Bhaal worshipper will select one of five different characters to kidnap and impersonate, depending on who is in the player’s party and who they are romancing.
Orin will first choose to kidnap Lae’zel, Gale, Halsin, or Minthara, depending on which companion has the lowest approval rating. Should none of these companions be available, for one reason or another,Orin will insteadkidnap Yenna and kill her cat, offering to feed it to the player when she reveals she’s kidnapped the child. Saving Yenna from Orin after being kidnapped, though, doesn’t convince Yenna to open her soup shop.
How To Get Yenna’s Soup Shop In Baldur’s Gate 3
Lae’zel Must Be Kidnapped By Orin
So far,the only way players have been able to get Yenna to begin selling soup is if Lae’zel is Orin’s kidnapping victim. The shapeshifter will threaten to slit Yenna’s throat, claiming the child is actually the imposter. Only if the player successfully passes the DC 25 persuasion check to talk the Githyanki out of killing Yenna will the poor girl open her soup shop.
In her subsequent conviction following the near-death experience, Yenna will proclaim that she won’t allow Orin to touch her ever again, threatening to kill the shapeshifter. Once she’s calmed down,Yenna will begin selling soup, making good on her initial promisesand unlocking the rareBaldur’s Gate 3merchant.
