How to Get Linebreaker Boots in BG3? Explained
If you’re looking to get the Linebreaker Boots in Baldur’s Gate 3 you’ll need to find Beastmaster Zurk in the Worg Pens, which are located inside the Shattered Sanctum. You’ll very likely visit the Shattered Sanctum through the progression of the main story in Act 1, as it is the headquarters for the goblin leaders, with the Goblin Camp just outside.
You’ll find the Goblin Camp to the west side of the main Act 1 overland map. There are several ways you can gain entrance to the camp. The guards outside will either need to be fought, persuaded or intimidated in order to get past them. Once through, you’ll have free access to the exterior camp. In the former temple courtyard you’ll find a host of goblins but what you’re looking for is the interior of the Shattered Sanctum. Head to the far north of the camp and you’ll find the main doors to the inside.
Depending on how you have played the game, you’ll again have to do some persuading or intimidating to make your way forward. But once past the guards in the entrance hallway, you should have free access to the inside of the Shattered Sanctum. The door to the Worg Pens is on the northeast side of the map.
Inside the Worg Pens
The Worg Pens are a small, separate space within the Shattered Sanctum. If you head forward and all of the way down the stairs, to the right you’ll find some goblin guards tormenting a druid bear behind bars. Beastmaster Zurk typically hangs out at the bottom of the first flight of stairs over the the left. Some of the goblins move around in this area, however, so you may have to look a bit to find him.
The Worg Pens are a difficult space to separate and pick off the goblins one by one. However, there aren’t a ton of them so if you’re a Level 4 or above this group shouldn’t be too much trouble. Once the fight starts you’ll want to look out for Zurk or one of the others to attempt to let the two Worgs out of their pen. The Worgs themselves will be attempting to break down the gate, but it will take them a few turns on their own.
Once the battle is over, find the Beastmaster Zurk and the Linebreaker Boots will be yours.
