An ambitious Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod which adds a whole new region to explore between the RPG's second and third acts is finally out in beta. This extra adventure midway through BG3's main quest is the result of nearly two years of work from modder SquallyDaBeanz, who's put together a trip to The Chionthar Wilds full of new missions and dungeons.

Baldur's Gate 3 Act Two Expansion mod, out now in beta, adds a whole new region to explore after dealing with the Shadow Curse

A custom Baldur's Gate 3 campaign mod, titled Act Two Expansion, is now available in beta form, adding a new region between the second and third acts of the RPG. This expansion was created by modder SquallyDaBeanz over the course of two years and takes players through The Chionthar Wilds, a region designed to be comparable in scope to Act One's Wilderness.

The Chionthar Wilds contains new missions, dungeons, and fights suitable for mid-to-highly skilled parties between levels eight and ten. The mod is still in beta, with an uneven experience in terms of polish and several technical issues to be aware of. Players are advised to save frequently and have a way to cheat into Act 3 if the finale encounters bugs or to ensure all camp events are completed before starting the finale.

While the mod's NPCs only have subtitled dialogue and no plans for voice acting, it is compatible with multiplayer mods, provided all players have the mod installed. The developers have also outlined plans for improvements in an eventual 1.0 version of the mod, including better writing, dialog, and character backgrounds along with a mechanical overhaul of bosses.

To access the new region, players can download either the Main Download or Quickstart version of the mod, with the latter warping directly to The Chionthar Wilds.
