Baldur's Gate 3 is full of mysteries and treasures waiting to be discovered. While exploring the beautiful world of this game, you will come across many different items. Among these, you have probably come across a strange item called Iron Flask.
When you look at this item in your inventory, there will be a few options to choose from. However, the outcome of all of these is unknown, and the nature of Baldur's Gate 3 is cruel, so it's important to know what it does.
What Are The Uses For Iron Flask
There are three uses for the Iron Flask in Baldur's Gate 3: Opening it, giving it to Zarys, and throwing it. It's worth noting that this item is related to a quest called Missing Shipment, where it plays a crucial role in the outcome.
Opening It
If you want to open the Iron Flask, you can do so by checking via intelligence. This will let you know it's a magical container with a beast inside. You can release the beast by using this flask, and it will attack the enemies and your party as well. But you shouldn't rush to that since there are two other uses.
Giving It To Zarys
As mentioned, Iron Flask is part of the Missing Shipment quest, and if you decide to go down the path of following it, you have to give it to Zarys. If you have decided that, do not check or take the flask out of the chest, or this will not work. Once you hand it to Zarys, she will give you a unique bow called Harold. This path will also improve the merchant stock at the Zhentarim hideout. That said, if you peeked or checked the flask before handing it over, Zarys will decide to fight you along with everyone at the hideout.
Throwing It
Lastly, you can throw the Iron Flask at enemies. This will damage them a little, and the beast from the container will come out to fight. With that, now you know all the uses and outcomes for using Iron Flask in Baldur's Gate 3.
