You’ll find several treasure rooms throughout this area, including one housing the very-rare-grade Abyss Beckoners gloves.
Shattered Sanctum Treasure ChamberLocation
The last location on our list is Shattered Sanctum’s Treasure Chamber. To access it, you’ll need the spell Misty Step to teleport behind its locked door or some expert stealth skills. With either Misty Step or your best sneaking boots on, go into Shattered Sanctum and travel to the northernmost room to find a locked iron door at coordinates(X: 295, Y: 59).
You have two choices from here: Misty Step past the door into the gold-filled treasure room, or lockpick the door and walk in. Two guards are nearby, making it easy to get caught, but with enough sneaking around and dice-roll luck, it is possible to get through without the spell.
Once you pass the door, interact with the chests to find various treasures, including hundreds of gold and the Amulet of Selune’s Chosen, among other items.
That’s the end of our list of the best early hidden treasures in Baldur’s Gate 3. Now that you have a bunch of new gear, it’s time to put it to use! Good luck!
