Stuck and BG Bridge!!

I can't get into BG. The guard says the city is closed. I read a post where there should be some guy at the entrance that asks if I'm the one causing all the trouble. And if you say yes he will let you in. But I have been playing good characters and didn't see this person. Please help with some info! You ever been stuck in a game??? It SUCKS!

In what chapter are you at?

To be able to enter into BG, you must be on chapter 5 (?), by openning a chest inside a tent in the bandit camp.

I thought to get into Baldur's Gate you had to clear out the Cloakwood Mines(?).

And, yes, I have been stuck before. I spent at least a week just trying to find the Bandit Camp.

In order to get into the city you should have visited Bandit Camp first and cleared the Cloakwood mines after that. As soon as you have finished your business to the mines, go to the city gates and the guy should be there.

At least that's the right order of the events in the game, I think.

Cheers

Thanks for all your help guys! I found a scum bag named Tranzig in Beregost. I whoped him good and he showed me where the bandit camp was!

Im now in the city after clearing the mines.

Thanks to you guys again!

IIRC, after you get through cloakwood mines, you can enter Baldur's Gate; but that guy doesn't appear until after a later event in another town.

That's the ticket. Although you can get to the bandit camp without killing Tranzig, he makes life much easier for you.

Tranzig is mentioned in one the scrolls picked off of mulahey's dead body. Not trying to be snobbish but if you missed this, I'd recommend takes notes after entering the city of baldur's gate. It's huge and there's a ton to do. It will be difficult to keep track of everything. I know the journal should keep track of most items but it is so tedious scrolling back and forth. BG2 is so nice that you can annotate your journal.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I've gone through BG1 just once.
