You actually can’t find Mol anywhere in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3, even though the journal and NPCs make it sound like you should search Moonrise Towers or the Mind Flayer Colony.

Quick Scoop: Can you find Mol in BG3 Act 2?

  • Mol is not physically present or recruitable anywhere in Act 2 (Last Light Inn, Moonrise, or the Mind Flayer Colony).
  • The game intentionally misleads you a bit with journal hints that point toward Moonrise/Mind Flayer areas, but she never actually shows up there.
  • In the Mind Flayer Colony, you can only find Mol’s Eyepatch in the Necrotic Laboratory (around X:700 Y:-112), which ties into the quest but not Mol herself.

So if you’re running around Act 2 thinking “Where the hell is Mol?”, you can safely stop searching—she simply doesn’t spawn there.

What actually happens with Mol in Act 2

  • At Last Light Inn, Mol is abducted during the attack on Isobel , which kicks off or advances the “Find Mol” quest.
  • From that moment on, all Act 2 hints (Moonrise, the Colony, etc.) are effectively dead ends in terms of actually meeting her.
  • The eyepatch you find in the Colony is just narrative proof she’s been there and survived somehow; it does not lead to a rescue scene in Act 2.

Think of Act 2 as the “Mol is missing and off-screen” chapter—her fate is delayed payoff.

Where you finally find Mol (after Act 2)

To truly complete “Find Mol,” you have to push into Act 3.

  • Once you reach Baldur’s Gate – Lower City , Mol is in the Guildhall , the thieves’ underworld HQ.
  • Her approximate coordinates in the Guildhall are X:-11 / Y:751 (or very close, some guides list X:-12 Y:753).
  • The Guildhall itself is an underground criminal base, which absolutely fits Mol’s “tiny crime boss” vibe.

From the entrance, you head deeper inside and up/down some stairs; she’s in the northeast portion of the Guildhall interior.

How to reach the Guildhall in Act 3

You’ve got several ways into the Guildhall once you’re in the Lower City.

  • Through the front/hidden entrance near Heapside Strand Waypoint (talk to the orc guard around X:55 / Y:-102 to get in once you’re working with the Guild).
  • Via sewers from Basilisk Gate Barracks :
    • Go to Basilisk Gate Barracks (northeast Lower City), use the prison, drop through the pit latrine into the sewers, then navigate to the Guildhall door.
  • Via helping the Guild on the beach west of South Span of Wyrm’s Crossing (around X:-215 Y:132), which opens up favorable access.
  • Via the Revealed Entrance around X:60 Y:-100, once you’ve uncovered/been told about it.

Any of these will eventually put you inside the Guildhall where Mol is waiting.

TL;DR (for “where to find Mol BG3 Act 2”)

  • You cannot find Mol in Act 2 at all; she isn’t in Moonrise, the prison, or the Mind Flayer Colony.
  • The only thing related to her in Act 2 is Mol’s Eyepatch in the Mind Flayer Colony’s Necrotic Laboratory.
  • To actually meet her again and resolve “Find Mol,” you must reach Act 3 → Lower City → Guildhall (around X:-11 / Y:751).
