Dowry location – BG3

Baldur's Gate 3 Dowry hidden in the hay
Larian Studios

The dowry is in the barn at Waukeen’s Rest. Just go down the stairs and underneath the arch – this requires walking through burning terrain, so maybe pop a fire resistance potion first. Go into the barn and investigate the big pile of hay in the corner. You’ll need to pass a Perception check, but do so and the chest containing the ring will pop out.

Once you’ve got it the choice is yours, return it to the man or keep it for yourself. There is no immediate reward for returning it to him, and the ring will sell for a pretty penny. It means the only real reason to return the ring is because you’re a good person, which you are, aren’t you?

…aren’t you?
