Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Finish the Masterwork Weapon

While exploring the Blighted Village in Baldur’s Gate 3, you might come across the Highcliff’s journal, which starts the Finish the Masterwork Weapon quest. The Highcliff’s journal provides information about an almost-complete weapon and its blueprint that has been hidden away.

Unfortunately, their locations are unknown, so you’ll need to search a lot to find them and finish the masterwork weapon. Find out where to locate the blueprint and complete the Masterwork Weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3 by following this guide.

How To Start the BG3 Finish the Masterwork Weapon Quest

In order to start the Finish the Masterwork Weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3, you must interact with the Highcliff’s journal. You can find the Highcliff’s journal in the Blighted Village inside a ruined house north of the waypoint and east of the windmill where a gnome needs your help to be rescued.

The journal is hidden behind a wooden barrel to the left of the fireplace. Also, here are the exact coordinates (X: 32, Y: 425).

How To Finish the Masterwork Weapon in Baldur’s Gate III

Once you begin the quest, you must locate the blueprints for the Masterwork Weapon. Go to the eastern room of the same house to find a hole in the floor blocked by a Calcified Web.

Before dropping into the hole, use either a fire spell or one of the few torches around the building to burn the Calcified Web. Also, be sure to grab the old key from the top of the wooden crate beside the fireplace.

After falling into the hole, your characters must make a Perception check to notice a booby-trapped wooden chest. You must succeed in a Sleight of Hand check with a difficulty class of 10 to disarm it. Inside the chest, you will find the Highcliff’s Blueprints. Read the Highcliff’s Blueprints to find out that you need sussur tree bark to create the Masterwork Weapon.

When the blueprint is read, a Nature check will be performed. If successful, it will reveal that sussur tree bark can be found in the Underdark. Go to the Sussur Tree on the west side of the Underdark, but beware of high-level enemies with high health.

Climb up the roots to find sussur tree bark. Use the left alt key to display nearby items if it’s hard to spot. Also, here are the coordinates of the sussur tree bark (X: -14, Y: -139) I found during my playthrough.

Return to the house in the Blighted Village, where you found the Highcliff’s journal, and use the Old Key found beside the hole in the floor to enter the house’s basement through its Shabby Wooden Doors.

A Goblin Tracker is just above the doors on the south side of the building. Make your way to the marked location to reach the Melting Furnace inside the basement. Interact with the Melting Furnace to light the fire, and then interact with the Blacksmith’s Bellows nearby to stoke the fire.

Now, interact with the Melting Furnace to open the Combine Items menu. Place sussur tree bark in the empty slot on the right and hit combine to change the furnace’s flames blue. Interact with the furnace one last time and place a common dagger, greatsword, or sickle in the empty slot on the right.

You will create a rare Sussur Dagger, Sussur Greatsword, or Sussur Sickle, each with a +1 Weapon Enhancement and the ability to silence targets on hit. And that’s how you complete the Finish the Masterwork Weapon quest in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you think this guide was helpful, make sure to visit our Wiki Hub Page for more information.
