You know, in any world, reading a book with a badly disfigured face made out of human flesh is probably never a good idea. The contents alone are enough to make the reader go mad, or even unleash an unspeakable evil that everyone in the known world of Baldur’s Gate 3 will have to deal with to no end.
That alone just gives you more reason to mess with it even further! If you can live with the guilt of reloading a save then this guide will be right up your alley. Find out more about how many rolls can you make to survive The Necromancy of Thay!
Reading the Necromancy of Thay All Rolls
There is a total of four rolls you have to succeed should you wish to keep reading the Necronomicon. One of those options will include forcing to close the book one last time before reaching the point of no return. Each Saving Throw will be more difficult than the last as you turn to another page.
It would be wise to have someone with high wisdom go through the book, like Shadowheart. Wizards, Warlocks, and Clerics will have an easier time reading the book as well. If you fail a saving throw, you’ll be given a “Whisps of Madness” debuff that will last for 50 turns.
Here are all of the saving throws you have to make along with their respective Difficulty Classes:
- Turn to the next page. (Wisdom of 10 DC to read)
- Turn another page. (Wisdom of 15 DC to read)
- Urge your hand to turn another page. (Wisdom of 20 DC to read)
- [Extra Option] Force the book closed. (Wisdom of 10 DC to succeed)
If you manage to successfully read through the Necromancy of Thay, you will gain a status effect that grants you the ability to cast Speak with the Dead once per long rest. Importantly, this status effect becomes permanent once acquired.
And those are all of the rolls you can make while interacting with the Necromancy of Thay in Baldur’s Gate 3. Now you don’t have to open it and just give it to either Gale or Astarion!
