There are several ways to end up in a jail cell inBaldur’s Gate 3.Players can become outlaws and thieves, play the game as a murderous character, or as an anti-hero. However, even characters trying to be good can end up in a prison cell.

For example, if the party stumbles upon a young character called Mol and her hideout, she will give the party a count of ten to leave. If Mol is ignored, she’ll take it as a threat and report the protagonist for threatening a child.

The first jail inBaldur’s Gate 3that the party can get thrown into is in the Hollow. This guide will show players how to escape the cell at The Hollow and retrieve their belongings.
