Act 3. Can you travel between sections freely?

[Accel Lex]

My main concern is whether going between sections like lower and upper would count as a long rest like traveling from Act 1/2 areas.
Also whether that means I’d have to finish the entire starting area in Act 3 before I can have the peace of mind of going to the other area.

I want certain items obtained in the lower area, so I want to rush over there to get all the items I want first, but not if it means I get kicked out of all time sensitive missions.

[Яeplicant]

You'll be limited to Act 3 areas only.

That is a pity, because I gave 2 vendors in Act I and Act II 2000 goldto have my reputation on maximum with them, so that I can sell all mystuff to them after each levelup and long rest.


I guess I will have to do the same with 2 of the Act III vendors, but I hate spending money, lol.

[Accel Lex]

I’m asking if I can travel between upper and lower baldurs gate without it counting as a time lapse for time sensitive missions.
Like the ones that progress when you long rest or equivalent to traveling between act 1 and 2 waypoints.

There is no upper city.

Merchants refill their gold after long rests - so don't worry. Also, there are _many_ merchants in act 3 =)

There is no upper city. The devs lied and the content was removed.

Could you point me to the devs promise about the upper city please? (url to text / video where any Larian dev stated that).

Thanks in advance!

I’ll elaborate. When I said “upper city”, I meant starting area. I just assumed that if you go to “lower” city, that must mean the part you started at was “upper”.

Does traveling between areas count as time sensitive action?

I edited this since it sounded like I was getting worked up. My apologies if it seemed so.


I’ll try using a hypothetical example to make it easier to understand what I’m trying to say.

In Act 1, if you enter Act 2, the goblin/tiefling issue progresses.
In Act 2, if you Long Rest in the adamantine mine, Nere and that place progresses.

So does Act 3’s entering between Lower City and the STARTING area you enter, Wyrms something, back and forth count as the same time progression, or is it similar to entering a location in general?

Did you ever find an answer? People in the answers are being pedantic and I also want to know, like to I have to finish Gortash stuff before moving on, or everything else or can i go into the lower city and back at will and it not effect quests and things.

You can go back and forth between Rivington, Wyrm's Crossing, and the Lower City at will. Your enemies are all deadlocked until you upset things.

you should respec to level 1 before increaisng reputation, this way you'll only need to give them 400

Best way is to just use Dammon, since he's in all three acts unless you screw up.
