Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Reach the Lever in Thrumbo’s Beach House Basement

Baldur’s Gate 3 is an expansive RPG based on Dungeons & Dragons. Act 3 of the game finally lets you explore the titular city of Baldur’s Gate. The city itself dwarfs the locations of the first two acts and is filled with all sorts of hidden secrets.

The Counting House is the main bank in Baldur’s Gate, and it contains a series of safes stuffed with rare valuables. These safes are difficult to crack through lockpicking. Thankfully, you can find hidden keys throughout the city to open them. Players need to interact with a lever to acquire the Counting House Safe n°6 Key in a basement.

Thrumbo Location

If players have met the Mystic Carrion in Philgrave’s Mansion, they will receive the task of finding Thrumbo. Head to the southernmost part of the Lower City, past the Heapside Strand fast travel point. Folow the stairs down and to the right to get onto the docks. The first time you visit this seaside area, you will be attacked by Sahuagin enemies that assault the pier.

Head up the stairs to find Thrumbo at the beach house labeled Vonayn’s House in game. He is hiding in the wardrobe at coordinates (X:56, Y: -120.) Open the wardrobe to speak to him and choose whether you will side with the undead servants or Mystic Carrion.

Enter the Basement

While completing this task, you may notice the hatch outside on the front patio. Enter it to discover the house’s basement. Move carefully as there are three trip wire traps placed throughout the hall. Your party may pass perception checks and point them out to you. Bring a rogue with high dexterity to disarm these traps.

How to Use the Basement Lever

At the end of the hall, past the traps, is a dead end. There is a lever tucked up into the wall lit up by the sky above. You can’t jump or squeeze into this area and spells like telekinesis/Mage Hand will not work. All you need to do is use a ranged attack on it. This will flip the lever even though the physics don’t make any sense at all.

The wall on the right-hand side of the hall will open, revealing a hidden area. The Counting House Safe n°6 Key can be found on the right side of the area. It’s in the backpack next to the bed and safe. There is also a booby-trapped chest on the left side of this area with a small amount of gold.
