How to Obtain the Nyrulna Trident in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)
To obtain the Nyrula trident, you must speak toAkabiin theCircus of the Last Days during Act Three, steal his ring, and spin his wheel to win the jackpot, causing him to send you to a jungle. Within this jungle, you’ll find apurple portaland atreasure chestcontaining the legendary Nyrulna weapon.
How to Enter the Circus of the Last Days
To initially enter the circus, speak toBenji and Klausto overhear a discussion about their entry requirements. They’ll explain that Benji has to check if your party is a group of “vicious murderers” before denying you entry due to your odor. Odd statements aside, you’ll have to persuade, bribe, or intimidate the pair into letting you into the circus.
In my case, I used my wizard character to deceive them easily. Certain classes can gain advantages in this dialogue, but otherwise, you can use the three default options to enter.
Once you’re in, you’ll find Akabi directly west of the entrance, who you’ll speak to to begin obtaining the Nyrulna trident.
Stealing Akabi’s Ring
After entering the Circus of the Last Days, speak to Akabi atcoordinates (X: -68, Y: -73)and talk about the wheel next to him. If you attempt to spin it now, you’ll fail the attempt, as he has rigged it. To win, you must pickpocket his ring before attempting the spin.
To do this, have a character hide behind Akabi and pickpocket theDjinni Ring. To make things easier, use your main character if they’re stealthy or a party member like Astarion to take the ring. Once you have the ring, pay 500 coins to spin the wheel, resulting in an immediate jackpot. Akabi angrily calls you a thief and a cheater, banishing you to a jungle.
Finding the Nyrulna Trident
Once Akabi banishes you to the jungle, you must sneak past the patrolling dinosaurs or defeat them in battle. Your goal is to reach a purple portal with a treasure chest in front of it atcoordinates (X: -1513, Y: -1523).After finding it, either jump down and take a bit of damage or misty step onto the platform before approaching the treasure chest.
Once you find the treasure chest, you have two options: open it right there and succeed the DC 20 lock, or pick it up and give it to a character with higher odds of opening it. Inside the chest is the Nyrulna legendary trident.
