In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Githyanki Egg is a pivotal element of Lady Esther’s questline, and obtaining it can have significant consequences for your game. Here’s a comprehensive guide on acquiring the Githyanki Egg and navigating the complexities of this quest, according to GameRant.
Locating the Githyanki Egg – Creche Y’llekk Hatchery Location
- Speak with Lady Esther: Your journey to obtain the Githyanki Egg begins with a conversation with Lady Esther. Afterwards, you’ll head to the CrecheY’llekk hatchery to retrieve the egg.
- Navigating the Difficult Path: The path to the hatchery is challenging, with repulsion mines, ruins infested with beasts and scavengers, and other obstacles. Survive these encounters to reach the lower levels of the Rosymorn Monastery.
- Entering the Creche: The CrecheY’llekk is where the Githyanki hatch their eggs. As an outsider, you are not welcome, and entering the lower levels without permission will lead to hostility from the Githyanki guards.
- Gaining Access: To avoid hostilities, introduce yourself confidently to the guards, and you may be granted a pass to enter. Once allowed inside, proceed to the left and right to reach the acid pools.
- VarshKo’kuuu: Inside the acid pools area, you’ll meet VarshKo’kuuu, the Githyanki responsible for the hatchery. He will explain the significance of the Githyanki Egg, the last of its kind to hatch.
- Persuasion, Deception, or Intimidation: If a party member conversing with Varsh passes the Insight Check, they can choose Persuasion, Deception, or Intimidation checks to take the egg from him. Success will earn you Varsh’s Boots, which provide immunity to acidic conditions and reduce acid damage by half.
- Acquiring the Egg: With Varsh’s trust and the immunity boots, climb the nearby ladder to reach the Githyanki Egg without fear of harm.
- Returning to Lady Esther: After acquiring the egg, use the Trielta Crags waypoint to return to Lady Esther with the egg in hand.

Stealing the Githyanki Egg
An alternative but riskier approach is to combat within the CrecheY’llekk and forcibly take the egg. However, this method should only be considered if you’re confident in your party’s combat abilities.
- VarshKo’kuu’ss Boots: Ensure you’ve acquired VarshKo’kuu’ss Boots before attempting to steal the egg. These boots are essential for traversing the acid pools.
- Avoid Alarming the Guards: Stay away from the rock closest to the egg, as approaching it will trigger an alarm, leading to combat with the guards.
- Plan and Illusion: Plan your approach carefully and consider using illusion spells or abilities to distract the guards, diverting their attention away from you while you move.
- Stealth and Quick Action: Move stealthily and quickly to the egg, add it to your inventory, and make a hasty escape without alerting the guards.

The Fate of the Githyanki Egg
As of the current game build, players have not discovered a way to hatch the Githyanki egg. If you deceive Lady Esther by giving her a different egg, the outcome may not be favourable, but it is less dangerous than facing the Githyanki guards.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, your choices matter, and the path you take to acquire the Githyanki Egg can significantly impact the course of the game. Choose wisely and prepare for the consequences of your actions. Good luck on your adventure in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3!
