Baldur’s Gate 3 House of Flowers Guide

The House of Flowers is the hideout of Oliver, who’s the other half of the Shadow Cursed Lands spirit, Thaniel. You will eventually visit this place once you complete the Wake Up Art Cullagh side quest and help Halsin defend the portal while he searches for Thaniel.

Unfortunately, it seems there is a bug that causes some players to get the quest marker before they finish the required missions for the house with flowers. You won’t be able to do anything in this place until you get information from Halsin about Oliver.

Once you are tasked with the House of Flowers’ quest of finding Thaniel’s missing half, you can encounter Oliver, who has stayed invisible inside the house. At this point, you can choose to play two rounds of hide-and-seek games with Oliver. If you beat him twice, the child will give you the Ring of Shadows, which lets you cast the level 2 Abjuration spell.

On the other hand, if you want Oliver to reunite with Thaniel, you must beat the child in a fight. Oliver will be hiding inside a magical shield, and you must defeat numerous Shadow monsters to break it. Afterward, you can convince Oliver to help Thaniel heal and lift the Shadow Curse from the surrounding areas. These tasks will be the primary quests you can do in the house with the flowers, and you can continue to navigate through the site for extra resources.

Besides visiting the House of Flowers, you can also explore the Thorm Mausoleum north of the Moonrise Towers. This place is an important location that you must enter to progress the main plot of Baldur’s Gate 3.
