A Guide to Find the Strange Flower Key: How to use it? Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 features a myriad of strange items that might seem random at first, but there’s more to them than meets the eye. Sometimes, these items are linked to a specific quest that you might not even know about, and the Flower Key is such an item.

The Flower Key is an extremely vital item for solving the Open Hand Temple Murders quest in Act 3. The key will be used to open up a secret door later on while doing the quest, but first, you’ll need to find it. If you don’t have the key with you, then read on below to learn how to find it.

To find the Flower Key in Baldur’s Gate 3:

1. Head to the dark cave beneath the Open Hand Temple,
2. Defeat the group of Doppelgangers there.
3. Take the ‘Key with a Flower motif, a.k.a. the Flower Key, from Zomm’s inventory after defeating them.

1.  How to use the Flower Key in Baldur’s Gate 3?

There are primarily two ways of accessing this area. You can either enter it through the hatch in the kitchen of the Open Hand Temple or from the cave mouth below the Wyrm’s Crossing bridge. It doesn’t matter how you enter; what matters is taking the key from Zomm.

To use the Flower Key in Baldur’s Gate 3:

1. Head to Fraygo’s Flophouse on the South Span of Wyrm’s Crossing.
2. Make your way to the top floor, where you’ll notice a wardrobe.
3. Insert the key there, and it’ll lead you into a hidden room filled with important evidence.

The game doesn’t really tell you where to go next after grabbing the key from Zomm’s inventory, so you might get a little lost. You can also cast Speak with Dead on Zomm to acquire more details from him, but I suggest going directly to Fraygo’s Flophouse; it’s less time-consuming that way.

3. What’s inside the hidden room in Fraygo’s Flophouse?

Here’s are all the things you’ll find inside the hidden room in Fraygo’s Flophouse:

1. Evidence of Bhaal being the main culprit behind the murders and framing the cult of the Absolute
2. Plans for the Temple
3. A disguise kit
4. Blood on the floor
5. A body under the bed

You can use Speak with Dead on the body to learn more about Bhaalist’s plan. There are also multiple chests there that you can unlock, but other than that, there’s nothing else to do. Save the evidence and give it to Inspector Valeria to complete the quest.

That’s everything you need to know about the Strange Flower Key in Baldur’s Gate 3.
