Grat The Trader and Returning Pike
The Swiresy Shoes in Baldur’s Gate 3 can be obtained only from Grat The Trader, the goblin in the Goblin Camp, as shown in the picture above. To reach the Goblin Camp, head west from Emerald Grove, continue by passing through the Blighted Village, and go straight west to shattered sanctum ruins. Maintaining a friendly attitude when encountering goblins is crucial to prevent hostile confrontations. Failure to do so may lead to goblin attacks, and you will lose your opportunity to acquire this pike. You’ll find Grat, the trader, stationed near the primary entrance of the Shattered Sanctum Ruins.
All unique gear items Grat The Trader can offer:
- Swiresy Shoes
- Gloves of Archery
- Boots of Aid and Comfort
- Whispering Promise
- Returning Pike
- Doom Hammer
If, by chance, you’ve already dealt with the goblins or they weren’t amicable, there’s a slim possibility of looting this weapon from Grat’s remains. However, it’s not the recommended approach, as the item you retrieve could be a random selection from his merchandise. The optimal strategy is to approach goblins and buy the weapon before you decide to kill them. Grat The Trader will offer a random selection of items each day, meaning his shop’s inventory should refresh after taking a long rest and finishing the day. So it may take a few days to find and get the Swiresy Shoes. Happy shopping!
