Baldur's Gate 3 introduces players to numerous elaborate side quests upon entering Act 3, but few require as much meticulous exploration as locating the missing parts of Dribbles the Clown. After a startling revelation at the Circus of the Last Days, the ringmaster Lucretius tasks your party with retrieving seven severed body parts scattered across the region. Finding every piece demands a keen eye, as they are tucked away in hidden basements and heavily guarded subterranean areas.
Beginning the Search in Rivington
The dark macabre scavenger hunt officially starts right outside the main city gates in the suburban area of Rivington. Players can discover the first piece, the severed hand, displayed openly on a plate at a food stall within the Circus of the Last Days. A quick sleight of hand check or creating a distraction will allow you to pocket this item without alerting the local security guards.
The next piece requires you to venture beneath the surface near the local riverlands. Exploration of the nearby caves reveals a hidden conflict involving smugglers and aggressive dopplegangers. Defeating these enemies allows you to safely loot the torso piece from one of their primary storage containers.
Navigating the Basements of the Lower City
Once you gain full access to the lower city district, the bulk of the investigation moves into domestic properties. The severed pelvis is located inside a locked house situated directly to the left of the Basilisk Gate Barracks. Players must successfully pick the lock on the blue door and look inside the chest positioned near the primary bedframe.
For the severed arm, you will need to head toward the central marketplace and locate a small house belonging to a cobbler. Accessing the hidden cellar reveals a grim scene where the arm is resting on a bloody table. Be prepared to face unexpected traps when navigating these confined urban spaces.
Descending Into the Undercity and Criminal Hideouts
The remaining pieces are deeply tied to the dark criminal underworld and requires you to explore the vast sewer network. The severed leg is hidden inside the basement of Lael's house, which requires you to bypass a ritualistic barricade. Finding these pieces becomes easier if you already unlocked the regional fast travel waypoints.
The most challenging piece to acquire is the clown head, which resides in the dangerous undercity ruins leading toward the temple of Bhaal. You must navigate past lethal archers and powerful spellcasters who guard the narrow stone walkways. Searching the remains of an unfortunate traveler near the undercity pass reveals the final required item.
Returning Your Grim Cargo to Lucretius
Gathering all seven distinct parts in your inventory allows you to finally complete this lengthy investigation. Returning to the Circus of the Last Days and speaking with the eccentric ringmaster will trigger the final quest dialogue. Your strenuous detective work is handsomely rewarded with powerful spellcasting gloves that significantly boost your combat capabilities.
