This article will guide you about the consequence of attacking the Rats or Bargain with Rats in Gauntlet of Shar in the game Baldur’s Gate 3.
Attack the Rats (Meet Lyrthindor)
From the Gauntlet of Shar Waypoint, head in the north direction and go down the stairs.
Continue to walk along the hallway, and then go down on the right side as shown in the image below. Climb down to reach the feet of the Giant Shar Statue.
At the feet of the statue read the book and interact with the broken effigy. At this moment a Rat will emerge.
Use the “Speak with Animal” spell to start a conversation with the Rat. You have the option to Attack the Rats or Bargain with Rats.
Ultimately, the rats will transform into a man named Lyrthindor, who is not very happy with his altered state. Defeat him and subsequently return to Yurgir.
Bargain with Rats Treasure & Mirror of Loss
If you choose to negotiate with the Rat and opt not to initiate an attack, the rat will point toward a treasure location. And the location is automatically marked on the map.
Proceed to the marked location and interact with the loose tile to find the treasure marked by the rat earlier. Inside, you will discover a collection of gold, a Crystalline Lens, a Hook, and an Imp Patagium.
Adjacent to this location, you’ll come across the “Mirror of Loss,” which becomes accessible in Act 3. Approach the mirror within this chamber and interact with the mirror. Within the mirror, you’ll be presented with four memories to select from.
If you opt for one memory then the game grants a +1 bonus point to a specific stat while costing you a -2 debuff to another. Additionally, close to the mirror, you’ll find the silver key. This key can be utilized to unlock a chest.
