How to Move Scuffed Rock inĀ BG3 and Where to Put It

If you haven’t found it yet, the scuffed rock is located at X:145 Y:280. Hopefully one of your Baldurā€™s Gate 3 party members will pass the Nature Check roll that lets them see it. If not, load your last save and try again. You could easily ignore the rock but thereā€™s a journal, a map to a hidden cache, and more, so itā€™s worth the effort.

To move it, youā€™ll need a party member with the strength to shift it. I used Shadowheart but Karlach should do as well. If youā€™re using a mouse and keyboard, moving the rock is a case of simply clicking and dragging it. If youā€™re using a controller, youā€™ll need to hit A and then rotate it left and right following the on-screen prompts.
