Traditionally prized by the devils of the Faerûn have as a valuable currency of the Nine Hells, Soul Coins can also be used to power up Karlach, the Tiefling Barbarian companion. So, don't hesitate to grab these enigmatic coins during your adventures—they're sure to prove significant in the future.

Updated August 9, 2023 by Annie Shi: As we make our way through Baldur's Gate 3, more and more Soul Coins are being found. We've updated this guide to include some coins we'd previously missed.

Soul Coin 1: The Druid Grove

To find the first Soul Coin, head to the Druid Grove (X:220, Y:420) near the Silvanus' Grovewaypoint.

After helping the tieflings and adventurers repel the goblin assault, you'll be able to enter the grove freely.

Once you enter the gates, immediately turn right, where you'll come across a small log bridge. Cross it, then head southeast up a hill, following the path until you spot Nadira, a tiefling woman keeping watch with her telescope.

She's definitely not passing those Perception checks, though, because there's a bugbear standing 10 feet behind her.

Once you get close enough, the bugbear will try to kill her. Nadira will die quickly to the bugbear's heavy blows, so act quickly to eliminate the threat. Speak to Nadira after saving her life.

Instead of being grateful, she'll accuse you of attempting to extort her hard-earned Soul Coin. You, of course, have no clue what she's talking about—but she doesn't need to know that.

Pass a successful DC 5 Deception (CHA) check, and she will eventually relinquish the Soul Coin to you.

Do note that even if you get there too late and Nadira has died to the bugbear, her Soul Coin is not lost. You can just lift it off of her lifeless body.

Soul Coin 2: Dank Crypt (South)

The next two Soul Coins can both be found in the Dank Crypt(X:-304, Y:-297) under the Chapel Entrance, just north of where you'll find yourself starting the game.

Once you've successfully gotten into the Dank Crypt, you'll be faced with two doors. Let's start with the southern one (X:-294, Y:-310).

Inside, you'll find a grand room with towering pillars and a central coffin. The Soul Coin here can be found in one of the smaller coffins to the southwest of the main coffin.

If you open the main coffin, you'll find a magical spear and the key to the northern door, but be careful. Opening the coffin will unleash a deadly series of traps that'll kill any unprepared adventurer.

If you'd prefer to avoid risking your neck, lockpicking or breaking the door down are viable alternatives.

Soul Coin 3: Dank Crypt (North)

The third Soul Coin can be found in the northern chamber of the Dank Crypt.

Instead, after entering the room, immediately head left (west) into a smaller room filled with coffins (X:-314, Y:-261).

Once inside, open the coffin located in the southwest corner of the room. Inside, you'll find the Soul Coin.

Soul Coin 4: Dank Crypt (North)

The last Soul Coin of the Dank Crypt can be found in Wither's sarcophagus.

After fighting off the Entombed Scribes in the north room of the Dank Crypt, and speaking to Withers, open his sarcophagus to find the final Soul Coin of the dungeon.

Soul Coin 5: The Risen Road

This Soul Coin takes us to a slight change of scenery—the Toll House (X:100, Y:552) on the Risen Road, to the northwest of the Emerald Grove

Deal with the "Paladins of Tyr" hiding out here as part of Karlach's personal story, and find the Soul Coin on the balcony rooftop of the house.
