How to find an OwlBear Cub in Baldur’s Gate 3

To find an Owlbear Cub in Baldur’s Gate 3, you need to make your way to the OwlBear cave, one of the many locations that you will discover and fast-travel to.

Upon making your way into the cave, you will be given the choice to either persuade the OwlBear Mother and her Cub to leave the cave or fight and kill the Mother. Irrespective of your choice, you must then make your way to the Goblin camp after some time has passed.

The camp can be found west of the Druid Grove. However, you must be careful here as it is one of the most dangerous locations in the game, especially on higher difficulties.

Once you have made your way there, you will notice some Goblins chasing the OwlBear Cub for sport.

Taming the OwlBear Cub in Baldur’s Gate 3

After seeing the Goblins chase the Cub, speak with Krolla, who is the leader of the camp and the one conducting the chase.

Krolla will then ask you to join the game. However, you must refuse the offer and instead interact with the cub.

Make sure you have a “Speak with Animal” potion handy for this bit of the guide. Keep interacting with the OwlBear Cub to build its trust. After building enough trust, ask it to follow you out of the camp.

The Owlbear Cub will say no. You must then talk to Krolla and use Intimidate, Persuade, or Illithid mind mend to convince the Goblin leader to let you leave with the Cub.

After leaving the camp, the cub will run away from you, but if you rest a couple of days at the camp or return to it after a few days, you will notice that the OwlBear Cub has spawned there in Baldur’s Gate 3.
