Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot of mysteries and secrets that you will have to uncover during the game. Sometimes, it is intuitively clear how to solve a problem or what secret one of the characters is hiding, but this is not always the case. If you’re wondering what the Strange Ox in Baldur’s Gate 3 is, here’s what you need to know.

Who Is the Strange Ox in BG3?

You can find the Strange Ox in Baldur’s Gate 3 when you visit Druid Grove. There, among other animals and oxen, he is clearly different, and you will be able to notice him as soon as you hear his mooing. You can start a conversation with him. There are several ways you can do that:

  • You can use the Speak With Animals spell.
  • The other method is to use the Animal Speaking potion.
  • Also, you can transform your character into an animal and then speak.

Once you start talking to the Strange Ox in Baldur’s Gate 3, you won’t hear much useful information from him; only his goal is to get to Baldur’s Gate no matter what. You can also use deception, intimidation, or persuasion to get a better result, but you won’t learn anything more than that; he will tell you that you are not capable of understanding what he is doing. Also, one of the signs that the ox is not ordinary is that it has Blindsight and Darkvision, which is not typical for animals, and this raises even more questions.

Here, you have two options:

  1. First, you can leave the ox alone and allow it to continue its journey, perhaps in the future new details of its journey and purpose will be revealed.
  2. The second is a more aggressive option, which is to fight the ox but keep in mind that this way you will not learn more about its essence.

When you engage in combat, you will realize that the ox is not a difficult enemy, and you can easily overcome it. After defeating it, the creature will explode like an acid bomb, leaving behind only the Shapeshifter’s Boon Ring as loot. You can use this ring to gain a 1d4 bonus on all checks or sell it for 70 gold.

In conclusion, we want to say that this Strange Ox is definitely not an ordinary animal in Baldur’s Gate 3, but probably rather a powerful wizard who wanted to take revenge on someone in Baldur. But these are all our assumptions, and perhaps the ox had completely different goals, which we do not know about yet.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
