Baldur’s Gate 3 Disabling Arcane Turrets
Technically, the proper way to disable the Arcane Turrets is toactivate the Power Generator in the basement. However, you won’t be able to reach this area without getting past the pesky Arcane Turrets. Luckily, there is another way to stop these mechanisms from functioning.
First, you need toenter the Turn-Base modeby clicking the hourglass icon on the right side of the hot bar. Next, you need to use units withLightning-based magic attacks, and I suggestplaying asGalesince he hasWitchboltunlocked from the start. Afterward, you must carefully approach the Arcane Turrets and shoot them with Lightning magic.
Ensure you alwaysplace your units behind some protection before ending your turn, or the Arcane Turrets will attack you on their turn. Fortunately, there should be enough massive rocks and tower structures you can use to hide your characters in this area.
Fixing Arcane Tower Elevator in BG3
You can fix the elevator inside the Arcane Tower byfeeding a Sussur Blossom into the Power Generator in the basement. To reach this location, you musthead to the south balconyandjump your way toward an open area west of the tower. Two Sussur Blossoms will be growing on this small patch of land, and you only need to harvest one.
After youlockpick the doorto the basement, you will find the Power Generator with three withered petals on the ground. You just need to click on the door of the Power Generator to pull out the Combine Items menu. Finally,place the Sussur Bloom into the available slotand press Combine.
Once theArcane Tower‘s Power Generator is powered up, theelevatorwill become active, and theArcane Turretswill be fully deactivated. You can now explore this mysterious location to your heart’s content.
