The Arcane Tower is a location that you will visit during a quest. In this mission, you are tasked with helping Omeluum investigate a certain parasite that you are surely quite familiar with already. The tower has several levels, and you will notice that it has an elevator that does not work.

This tower is located in the Underdark's southwestern area in Baldur's Gate 3. It is guarded by two Arcane Turrets that you will need to dispose of; otherwise, they will cause you and your party a lot of trouble. Once you have disposed of the tower's security measures, you can make your way inside.

To fix the elevator, you will first need to reach the structure's bottom. You can easily do is by heading over to one of the balconies on the floor you're on and jumping down using the giant mushrooms. You will be able to access other rooms that contain some good loot in this way as well, such as several books that contain vital information.

The bottom of this tower houses an area with glowing plants. You can easily get there by casting Feather Fall on your party members and jumping down a second time.

Once you get there, collect the Sussur Blooms. After grabbing these, head over to the locked door behind you. You can pick its lock or find any other way to get into the room behind the door. Inside, you will find a Power Generator. Interact with it and use the Sussur Blooms that you previously collected to activate it.

Doing so will turn on the elevator, which will allow you to access the other floors inside this Arcane Tower in Baldur's Gate 3.

There are also plenty of precious items that you can loot while inside the Arcane Tower, so make sure to keep an eye out for them while you do this quest in Baldur's Gate 3.
