Baldur’s Gate 3: How to fit into Rocky Crevices, Pipes, & Small Holes in BG3

I’ve found that you really have to keep your eyes sharp when exploring in tactical RPG Baldur’s Gate 3. Whether exploring the map above ground or in a dungeon, there’s much to discover if you take your time and explore every corner of the map. When there’s something interesting nearby, each of your characters will do an automatic Perception check and it only takes one to spot something. Some examples I’ve found are rocky crevices, pipes, and small holes. But once you’ve found one, how do you fit into it in BG3?

How to get into rocky crevices in Baldur's Gate 3

Each of these areas works in the same way in Baldur’s Gate 3. How you get into them, if you can at all, is going to depend on their size. Larger holes can be entered with magic or by Halflings or Gnomes, while the smallest pipes and crevices can only be entered via magic. Of course, if you don’t have either a Gnome or a Halfling in your party, it’s magic or the highway.

Shapeshift is an Illusionist level one spell that allows the caster to take on the form of any other race. By doing so, they can take the form of a Gnome or Halfling and get inside those larger crevices. If you can’t do this yourself, note that NPC Astarion who you find early on just after the ship crashes, is an Arcane Trickster Rogue, meaning he can pick the ability up at level three. 

The smaller ones are harder still, though. The only way I’ve come across to beat these so far is via the Druid ability Wild Shape. This allows you to turn yourself into a cat, which will allow you to get into even the smallest pipes and holes.
