How to disable the Selunite outpost turrets in the Underdark Baldur’s Gate 3

A million paths and options are available to take in Baldur’s Gate 3. This means that no two playthroughs are ever really the same. Everything from friendships to battles and even routes taken is completely down to the choices and luck you have had previously. As Act 1 begins to end and Act 2 starts to begin, you may find yourself making your way into the Underdark. This area in Baldur’s Gate 3 has many entrances, but the Selunite one, in particular, has rather frustrating turrets that have no obvious method to disable them.

How to disable the Selunite outpost turrets

The Selunite Outpost is accessible through the Defiled Temple. It is accessible after you have cleared out the Goblins one way or another. It is one of the easier access points, in my opinion, although how to get past the Selunite turrets and statue in Baldur’s Gate 3 had me scratching my head.

At first, these turrets are a bit of a godsend. You will meet your first Minotaur here as he slams against the gates that just about seperate you from him. However, you may notice that two blue lasers are quickly draining his health with no reprieve. The turrets will cook him, which is great, but now it is your time to go through.

To disable the turrets, you need to locate the Gem at the top of the statue. You can then shoot this with arrows from the top of the wall. Doing so will disable the Selunite turrets in Baldur’s Gate 3. It seems simple now, but it took me quite some time to figure it out.

Beyond the gate

Once you have made your way past the gate, you need to be ready for a whole new world of monsters and challenges. Mushroom spores, minotaurs, and crazed elves await you. The training gloves are off, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is ready to show you what it’s made of.
