Baldur’s Gate 3: Chicken Chasing Guide

To start Chicken Chasing, speak with Krolla and pay the betting fee for the game. If you killed theOwlbearand spared its cub earlier in the Act, it will replace the Dishevelled Chicken. To win the game quickly, use theSpeak With Animalsspell and talk to the chicken when the chase starts. The Dishevelled Chicken will ask for help. Say, “I’ll help. Just run through the posts, and you’ll be free.” The chicken will do exactly that, and you will win the game.

In the case of the Owlbear Cub, you will have to pass a persuasion check to get it to run through the posts. If you fail or do not have access to Speak With Animals, approach the cub from the direction opposite to where you want it to go. you’re able to alsoblock some paths of the coursewith boxes and barrels before the game starts to make guiding it easier.

Additionally, the game provides the option to provoke the Owlbear Cub or Dishevelled Chicken into attacking the goblins. This is not recommended if you wish torecruit the Owlbear Cubor win the game’s small gold reward.

Chicken Chasing Rewards

Once you guide the chicken or cub to the finish line, Krolla will declare your victory and call you over. However, she will refuse to reward you because only goblins can win at Chicken Chasing. You can use Intimidation, Persuasion, or Illithid powers to convince her.

Using Illithid guarantees you will pass the check, but the character using it will not be able to rely on the power again until Long Rest. The major upside to winning the game is improving your relationship with the Owlbear Cub. Speak to it after the game ends and offer it a home at your camp.
