Yet another thing many players, including myself, missed in Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 1 is the Kuo-Toa, a clan of fish people. Here is how to find the fish people in BG3 Act 1 and how to become their god.
Where is the fish people location in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)?
The fish people, who are officially called Kuo-Toa, are located in the Underdark in Act 1 of Baldur’s Gate 3. They’re in a location that is easy to miss, but I have instructions to get you right to their front door.

From the Underdark – Selunite Outpost, jump through the window on the rock ledge heading west. Continue down, defeat the Specter, and continue down like you are going to the Arcane Tower.
Climb down the last Cragged Rock stairs so you are on the red mushroom level. Turn south and you’ll see a few large platform mushrooms you can jump onto, along with a Cragged Rock going down. This area is very dark, making it easy to miss.
Heading down the Cragged Rock takes you to The Festering Cove, the home of our new fish friends. Make sure to save before entering so you can try out different outcomes.
How to become the god of the fish people in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)
Upon approaching the fish people, Pooldripp the Zealous will tell you that they are worshipping their god named BOOOAL. You can ask questions to figure out what is going on here and who BOOOAL is, but if you want to be worshipped by the fish people, you need to choose the following options:
- [Investigation] Get your bearings. What have you stumbled in on?
- [Appearance] Red caps love violence. Bait him with an exaggerated story about bloody fights.
- I’ll just kill you and claim it for myself.
In my playthrough, I didn’t roll well enough to convince the fish people that BOOOAL was a fraud and I was their real god. Instead, I convinced BOOOAL to not kill me because I could get more blood for him. He gave me the Sickle of BOOOAL which does 2d3+3 slashing damage, has Lacerate, and has BOOOAL’s Blessing gives the wielder Advantage on Attack Rolls against Bleeding creatures.
As is the case with all dialogue options in Baldur’s Gate 3, there are multiple outcomes. Play your way or trip the fish people into believing you are their god. Either way, you’ll probably want to discover this extremely rare Greatsword while you’re still in Act 1.
