Baldur’s Gate 3is in no shortage of hapless Faerun citizens in need of a hero, and the spunky Tiefling child Arabella is among them. InAct 1, you’ll begin the Save Arabella quest line, and I’ll explain as someone with amostlykind hearted Tav.
In my own experience, my completedBG3Journal entry for this quest is listed as a two-parter. I’ll only cover Act 1’s first half as the Save Arabella quest. You won’t need to look after the little Tiefling again untilAct 2.
Save Arabella in the Druids’ Grove
Upon reaching the Emerald Grove in Act 1, head down the settlement’s eastern staircase to watch the Tiefling parents, Komira and Locke, square up with the Druids. It seems the latter has taken the Tieflings’ daughter, Arabella, for trying to steal their idol, but — to their point — Arabella is achild.
To save Arabella from the immediate threat in the Druids’ grove:
You’ll get Komira’s Locket for completing this first chunk of Arabella’s quest — that is, if you saved the little girl to begin with. It’s an easy way to get the Evocation CantripDancing Lightsfor extra vision in dark places, and it’s rather handy until you gain a level or two elsewhere.
How to continue Arabella’s BG3 quest
This isn’t the only time you’ll encounter the young Tielfing, though it’s all you’ll need to do with her for a while. Upon reachingBG3’sAct 2, you’ll run into Arabella again in the Shadow-Cursed lands. Agree to help her for theFind Arabella’s Parents questassignment, and make sure you wrap it up before leaving for Act 3.
As a side note, that idol she was talking about is the Idol of Silvanus in the center of the Emerald Grove. It’s not important to finish the quest with Arabella, but there’s another optional objective you can begin by seeking out Mol.
