Volo gets taken to the Goblin Camp and put in a prison cell.

Volo is found in the Sacred Pool at Druid’s Grove. He is talking to a bear with his captor Gribbo, who is forcing Volo to perform as a Bard for the goblins. If you attempt to interact with Volo, Gribbo will eventually take the Bard off the stage and move him to a prison cell.

Gribbo holds the key to Volo’s cell.

The prison cell containing Volo is next to Priestess Gut’s throne, up the right-side staircase. Gribbo will be in the room, so there is no way to free him without her and the other Goblins discovering.

To rescue Volo, you have to interact with Gribbo and pass either a Deception, Illithid Wisdom, or Intimidation check on her. This will force Gribbo to hand the key over to Volo’s cell.

Alternatively, you can shut the door and kill Gribbo. This may attract the attention of the surrounding Goblins. It helps to use a Rogue companion to kill Gribbo with stealth. Be sure to pick up the key to free Volo from the cell and quickly make your way out of the camp.


Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game developed by Larion Studios and released in 2023 for PC, macOS, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
