How to start the quest “Return the Rakata Gold” in BG3
To begin the quest "Return the Rakata Gold", go to the Court of s and go downstairs to the vault (X: -98; Y: -148). There you will meet the main banker - a dwarf named Rakat. He will tell you that the vault was robbed by the Stone Lord's thugs and will ask you to return the stolen gold.
How to Find Rakata Gold in Baldur's Gate 3
Rakat will allow you to explore the vault to find evidence. Carefully inspect the room and find dirty marks that smell like sewer. There we need to continue the search for criminals.
How to open a sluice gate
Chase the robbers until you come across a locked sluice gate. To move forward, you will have to solve a small puzzle - set the optimal level of water and heat, and do this at the same time.
Not far from the gate itself there are two valves, two pumps and an emergency shutdown lever. And a little to the right is a small note with instructions, study it. When you hover your mouse over objects, you can see whether the temperature and water level are rising. To open the airlock gate in Baldur's Gate 3, follow these steps:
- Go to the water supply valve and turn it. Wait 2 cycles until the water level arrow enters the yellow zone. After this, immediately turn the valve back.
- Now turn the heat valve. Wait 2 cycles again until the arrow of the mechanism indicating the heat level reaches the yellow zone.
- If you did not manage to turn off the valve in time, simply turn off the emergency shutdown and repeat the procedure.
As soon as the water and heat levels reach the optimal level, the sluice gates will open automatically.
Defeat Roa Moonlight
When you go through the tunnel, you will meet Roa, the Stone Lord and the impostor Jaheira. It was she who tricked Minsk into going over to the dark side. After a short cutscene in which Roa talks to his henchmen, a fight will begin. You won't be able to avoid the battle - you must defeat all enemies. After the battle is over, you can take 10 gold from Roa Moonlight’s corpse, everything that was stolen from the vault.
Kill or save Minsk
If the squad is present Minsk, but also make him your companion. To do this, attack the Stone Lord non-lethal attacks, so as not to kill him, but simply knock him out, then talk to the hero. If you decide to kill Minsk, Jaheira will leave the player's squad forever.

Awards
After you take the bag of gold from Roa Moonlight's body, return to the vault and talk to Rakata. You can try an Intimidation, Persuasion, or History test to fool the banker and say the gold was lost, or do the right thing and return the money. If you chose the first option, then Rakat will ask the heroes to reimburse him half of the lost amount - 5 gold. Regardless of how much money you return, you will receive a reward of just over 000 gold and a key to the vault in the ing Chamber.
