Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of bizarre NPCs with some extra bizarre requests. One such request is to find the missing boots for a Deurgar in Baldur’s Gate 3, who simply refuses to wear any other shoes. Maybe she has some sort of attachment to the shoes, which we can’t understand until we put ourselves in her shoes. Right?
Like the rest of the side quests, this one is no different. There are no pointers; the only way to find and finish this quest is by chance. But don’t worry, with us and a little bit of lady luck on your side, you can finish the “Find the missing boots” quest in Baldur’s Gate 3 in no time.
How to start the Find the Missing Boots quest
To start the quest for the missing boots, you must first travel to the beach area of the Underdark. It is to the Southwest of the map. Once you reach here, you will notice an encampment known as Decrepit Village, which the Duergar Intruders now control. The head of Duergar here is Gekh Coal, who will ask you to leave immediately. Talk to him to learn he is tasked with finding the missing boots for a Deurgar Sergeant, Thrinn, whose life depends on it.
He will tell you that the shoes were stolen by a slave named Thulla. She ran away with the boots and is now missing. If you agree to help Gekh Coal, it will automatically start the “Find the missing boots” quest.
Where are the Missing Boots and Thulla?
Thulla is present in the Myconid Colony of the Underdark. If you have the waypoint, fast travel there or go to the map location marked below. Use Persuasion to make the Myconids let you in and go to Sovereign Spaw. Turn left and climb a few mushrooms to find Thulla lying on the floor in an injured state.
She was struck with a poisoned Duergar knife and is slowly dying. She will ask for your help, and this will start another side quest: Cure the Poisoned Gnome. You can complete her quest by curing her (any antidote or status-restoring spell will work) or kill her to obtain the missing shoes. We recommend saving her.
Now that you have found the missing boots, it is time to return them to their rightful owner. Return to Gekh Coal, and he will guide you with the rest. He will ask you to go to Grymforge and hand over the boots to Sergeant Thrinn. Take the ship in the harbor to reach the camp (select the “Travel into Darkness” option).
Deliver the missing boots to Thrinn
You will be boarded by another Duergar ship on your way to Grymforge. Show them the boots and tell them that you are here to deliver the boots on Gekh Coal’s behalf to avoid a fight. Once you reach the Grymforge docks, you will be confronted by Morghal.
She will threaten you and ask for a donation. You must refuse her by saying, “I am not paying a single penny.” She will tell you about the location of Sergeant Thrinn and walk away peacefully.
Go to Sergeant Thrinn and talk to her. She is a burly female Deurgar, working some Gnome slaves to death near a cave-in where True Soul Nere is trapped. Give her the boots to get your reward and progress ahead with the game, saving gnomes and killing Nere.
Rewards for completing the Missing Boots quest
Upon delivering the boots, Thrinn will offer you a choice to select from one of the rewards. These rewards are either Armor of Uninhabited Kushigo or Bracing brand ring. It is one of the best armors for the Monk build and is worth all the hassle. Accepting any rewards will finish the “Find the Missing Boots” quest in Baldur’s Gate 3.
