Gerringothe Thorm is a boss in the Shadow-Cursed Lands in Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3). Read on to learn how to beat Gerringothe Thorm, where to find her, as well as her drops!

How to Beat Gerringothe Thorm

Destroy Visages to Lower Her HP

Gerringothe Thorm has an incredibly high amount of HP due to the gold armor she's wearing, and the only way to knock the armor off is by destroying Visages floating around the Tollhouse using stealth range attacks.

There are 6 in total, and each time a visage is destroyed, a portion of her HP is taken away as it removes an armor piece from her.

The idea here is to utilize stealth and sneak around the house to destroy as many visages as possible without getting caught, as doing so will lock you in battle with her.

Taking Out All Visages Allows For a One-Shot Kill

If you manage to successfully destroy all Visages, you'll lower her HP to the point that you can just one-hit kill Gerringothe Thorm as she's completely stripped off of her armor that was protecting her.

Visages Will Change Locations If You Miss

If you miss an attack roll on a visage, it will teleport to a random location inside the Tollhouse. It's best to use the darkness to gain advantage and increase your chances of landing the attack.

Use Only One Character

Sneaking around the Tollhouse without getting caught works best with just one character. Use a character that is excellent in Stealth, then leave the rest of the party outside the Tollhouse.

Defeat Her Through Dialogue Checks

You can beat Gerringothe Thorm without directly entering battle with her by successfully going through a series of dialogue checks to convince her that you'll be replacing her as the tollkeeper.

Enter a conversation with her, then select the option to Toss a Piece of Coin at her, then ask her how much does she want exactly. From here, you'll roll two Persuasion, Deception, or Intimidation dialogue checks.

Engage in Open Combat

Be prepared for a long tough battle if you decide to fight her head on as the skull visages in the area will immediately become hostile and will obliterate you to pieces with their AoE skills.

Not to mention that Gerringothe Thorm herself could also cast out her own set of Burst spells, one of which will deal damage based on how much gold her target is carrying. Additionally, she could also summon giant halberds to join her in the fight.

Engaging her directly is the least recommended choice as your chances of winning are minimal. Going with the stealth route and dialogue method are better options in dealing with her.
