Baldur’s Gate 3: Addled Frog [Guide] Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game that offers players a lot of choices and consequences. One of the choices that players may encounter is what to do with the Addled Frog, a strange creature that can be found in the Sunlit Wetlands. In this blog post, I will guide you through the different scenarios and outcomes that involve the Addled Frog, and how to get the best reward from it.
First Scenario
First, when you enter the Putrid Bog, go to your right and be mindful that there are traps in the water, so keep out of the water as much as possible. You will see a frog sitting on a rock near some wooden crates. If you have the Speak with Animals spell or a scroll, you can talk to the frog. However, you will find that the frog is not very friendly. It will repeat the words “Green leaves, shallow water…” and ask you to leave it alone. If you persist in talking to it, it will attack you.
The Addled Frog is a very tough opponent, despite its small size. It has 22 AC and 20 Dexterity, which means that most of your attacks will miss. It also has a powerful tongue attack that can deal 1d10+5 damage and knock you prone. Unless you are very confident in your combat skills, I would advise you to avoid fighting the frog at this point. You can either leave it alone or try to calm it down with an Animal Handling skill check.
Second Scenario
Firstly, players must finish the Save Mayrina quest for the best possible outcome. To do this, you need to enter Auntie Ethel’s teahouse and confront her. You can either fight her or try to trick her with deception or persuasion. Either way, you need to free Mayrina from her cage and escape from the teahouse. You can also loot some valuable items from Auntie Ethel’s room, such as a magic dagger and a ring of protection.
After you have dealt with Auntie Ethel, you can return to the Addled Frog and talk to it again. You will notice that the frog is much more friendly and grateful. It will thank you for saving it from Auntie Ethel’s curse and offer to show you something in return.

Lastly, return to the Addled Frog after defeating Auntie Ethel and interact with it. The frog will hop away and lead you to a hidden treasure location. You need to follow it closely and watch out for traps along the way. The frog will stop near a pile of rocks and point at a pouch that is buried underneath. You can dig up the pouch and find some gold, a Scroll of Detect Thoughts, and a Scroll of Shocking Grasp inside.
The Addled Frog will then bid you farewell and hop away. You have successfully completed the quest and gained a new friend and some loot.
