How to Find the Nightsong in Baldur’s Gate 3
You’ll find the Nightsong during Act Two’s Shadowfell region after venturing through the Goblin Camp, entering the Underdark or Mountain Pass, and entering the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Upon entering the Shadow-Cursed Lands, you’ll pass through Reithwin Town and eventually Thorm’s Grand Mausoleum, leading you directly to the Nightsong.
How to Reach the Shadow-Cursed Lands in Baldur’s Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 provides two options for reaching Act Two’s Shadow-Cursed Lands:
- Underdark Route
- Mountain Pass Route
Depending on where you go, you’ll have two completely different questlines before finding the next area. The Underdark requires venturing through the Goblin Camp’s Defiled Temple, Underdark Beach, and the Grymforge. Alternatively, the Mountain Pass has two routes directly south and north of the Goblin Camp and requires siding with the Absolute.
Regardless of your route, you’ll eventually arrive in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, where you’ll have to pick up a light source or the Moonlantern to protect yourself from the land’s curse.

Upon entering the Shadowfell, you’ll officially arrive in Nightsong’s Prison. Jump down the floating platforms from here to reach the area’s center, meeting Nightsong and Balthazar for the first time.
