Sazza is a captured Goblin who shows up in the Tiefling camp after you’ve rescued the Emerald Grove from the goblin attack in BG3. When you speak to Sazza privately, she’ll try to strike a deal: free her from her cell, and she’ll escort you to her tribe’s powerful priestess.
Goblins aren’t always true to their word, though. So that leaves one question: should you help Sazza from her cage BG3?
How to save Sazza from the Tieflings – Sazza’s location
You’ll find Sazza behind the wooden door located on the north side of the Tiefling camp. As you approach, two Tieflings will be harassing the goblin, with the female Tiefling threatening to shoot Sazza with a crossbow.
You’ll have a couple of options here: stand in between Sazza and the Tiefling or allow the Tiefling to kill Sazza.
What happens if you stop the Tiefling from killing Sazza? Sazza’s agreement
If you prevent the Tiefling from killing her—which you can do by passing a Persuasion or Intimidation check—both of the Tieflings will leave the room, allowing you to speak to Sazza privately.
Sazza will mention how her tribe is led by a goblin priestess with powerful magic and will update the “Find a Cure” quest, giving you another lead to follow. If you ask Sazza for more details about the priestess, she’ll demand you break her out of the cage first.
You can choose to ignore her and pursue the lead yourself, but Sazza says she’ll personally escort you to the tribe, which will prevent the goblins from attacking you, and take you to the priestess directly.
What happens if you free Sazza from the cage?
If you choose to break Sazza from her cell, you’ll need to pick the lock of the cage using Thieves’ Tools. From there, Sazza will be free, but you’ll need to escort her out of the camp.
Using Astarion for picking the lock is recommended since he has a high Sleight of Hand stat.
You can’t exactly walk through it with an escaped prisoner at your side, though, so you’ll need to find another way out.
How to escort Sazza out of the camp
To escort Sazza out of the camp, you’ll need to use the jump ability onto a ledge behind the cage, as shown in the video below. There will be another stone door that will lead through a small cavern and out to the other side of the Grove.
There will be goblins in this cave that you’ll need to fight and kill before you can exit on the other side. Luckily, I had already cleared this route before I freed Sazza, so I happily walked through the cavern without any more fighting.
Once you’ve made your way through the cave tunnel, Sazza will head off to the goblin camp, which will be marked on your map with a quest indicator. The best way to get to this camp is to head east from the cave, crossing the bridge and going through the Blighted City until you get to the Goblin Camp at coordinates (X:55, Y:364). Shazza will be waiting for you at the gates, and you will be able to enter the camp without the guards attacking you.
If you choose to free Sazza from her cell in the Hidden Grove, you’ll be able to explore the goblin camp freely without being attacked. And if you follow her through the camp, she’ll lead to Minthara, and you’ll be able to side with the goblins over the druids. This will allow you to eventually add Minthara to your party and romance her.
What happens if you don’t free Sazza?
You don’t need to free Sazza to get to the goblin camp. You will be able to enter the camp without fighting if you pass a DC check, or you can fight your way through, but it won’t be as easy.
Should you free Sazza from the cell?
Whether you want to free Sazza is entirely up to you. If you’d like to side with the goblins instead of the druids, this is a solid option to take. If you don’t free Sazza and still want to meet the priestess or Minthara, there will be other ways into the camp, but they might be a bit difficult. Anyone roleplaying as a good or lawful character probably shouldn’t choose to free Sazza, but this option works for an evil one.
All The Possible Sazza Outcomes
Depending on your preferences, you may like or dislike Sazza. I personally tried to save her because I am rolling an evil character, and sided with the goblins over the druids. Here are the social outcomes for saving Sazza.
| Letting Sazza die | Approval goes up for Astarion and Wyll |
| Using speech checks to save Sazza | Approval goes up for Karlach, Gale, and Shadowheart Approval goes down for Lae’zel and Wyll |
| Freeing Sazza | Approval goes down for Gale and Lae’zel |
