How to Get the Soulbreaker Greatsword in Baldur’s Gate 3
Kith’rak Therezzyn drops the Soulbreaker Greatsword in Creche Y’llek in Mountain Pass while transitioning from Act 1 to Act 2.
Here is how to get the Soulbreaker Greatsword in BG3:
- Progress in Act 1
- Head to the northwest corner of the Act 1 area and head to a different area called Mountain Pass. (X:-127 Y:561)
- Find the Creche Y’llek on the far north end of the map.
- Explore the Monastery and Enter the Creche
- Depending on your choices, Githyanki will be hostile to you or “temporarily” friendly.
- Once you talk to Inquisitor and Vlaketh, they typically will attack you.
- Defeat Kith’rak Therezzyn, commander guarding the entrance to the inquisitor’s chamber
- Pick up the Soulbreaker Greatsword dropped by Kith’rak Therezzyn.
Find the Githyannki and Creche Y’llek
You can find the Soulbreaker Greatsword and Kith’rak Therezzyn, who wields it in the Githyanki Creche. The entrance to the creche is from the Monastery, where it’s worth exploring the area and solving ceremonial weapon puzzles to get the Blood of Lathander, a mighty legendary mace.
When you’re ready to enter Creche Y’llek, you can jump down from the damaged stairs on the east side of the Monastery (X: 109; Y: 22). Below, you’ll find another set of stairs leading to the Creche, a place filled with NPCs, valuable loot, merchants, and potential side quests. If your goal is to obtain the legendary mace, your next step is to proceed to the Inquisitor Chambers, which is also part of the Lae’zel and Remove Toadpole questlines.
Note: none of those steps or quests are required to obtain the Soulbreaker Greatsword. You can simply kill everyone in Creche and get it. Still, it’s a good idea to first talk to everyone, and check out merchants’ wares, before you decide your next steps and confront the Githyanki.
Once you’ve finished exploring or spoken with the inquisitor and Queen Vlaketh, the Githyanki will typically become hostile, and you’ll need to fight to survive. To acquire the Soulbreaker Greatsword, locate Commander Kith’rak Therezzyn, eliminate her, and loot the weapon. You should find her in the commander’s office, near the entrance to the inquisitor’s chambers. During our playthrough, she was waiting for us on the bridge passage at coordinates (X: 1356, Y: -716). Collect the Soulbreaker Greatsword from her body and wield your new weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3.
