Because many players share the feeling of missing things in Acts 1, 2, and 3, I’ve got a solution for you. Here’s aBaldur’s Gate 3Act 1 checklist so you can check off all the things you should accomplish before entering the next Act.
During my first playthrough ofBaldur’s Gate 3, I swore I had found everything I could in Act 1 before traversing into Act 2. The same went for the second Act before I went into the third. Both times I was wrong, there wereso many things I’d missedand wished I’d checked out.

Everything you should finish before completing Act 1 in Baldur’s Gate 3
I’ll preface this by saying the things listed herearen’t every single quest you can complete. Most players will do the most typical quests, like taking down the goblin camp leaders or rescuing Halsin. All of the tasks here arethings you may have missed or forgot to complete. Many of these things I completely missed from my first playthrough, and I’m kicking myself for not realizing it! Otherwise, here is the Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 1 checklist for you to finish before moving on to Act 2.
My general advice to make sure you don’t miss anything in Baldur’s Gate 3 is tobe as thorough and curious when exploring as possible. Even in a party that’s constantly exploring every nook and cranny of the game, I’m missing things in each Act. While there will always likely be a little thing here or there that you miss, you’ll experience a huge chunk of the game if you stay curious.
