In BG3 the Ancient Giant Eagles in the Rosymorn Monastery in the Mountain Pass need to be defeated in order to you to gain the Ceremonial Warhammer to help move forward within the story and or save Blue Jay’s nest.
If you need help defeating the Ancient Giant Eagles in BG3, then we’ve got you covered.
Defeating the Ancient Giant Eagle in BG3
As you may have noticed when initially finding the eagle’s nest, there are two Ancient Giant Eagles that you need to deal with. Luckily, they’re both equal in strength, so it doesn’t really matter which one you focus on or kill first.
We recommend using fire damage and fire spells to fight the Ancient Giant Eagles as that is their weakness. So, any fire coating you can put on your melee weapons or fire spell/scroll you have in your arsenal is the best kind of attack to use.
I had Gale in party, for example, who was able to use the spell Fireball, which has massive AoE damage and is one of the 10 most powerful spells in BG3. This spell was able to damage both of the eagles at the same time and had double the damage since it was a fire attack.
The eagles tend to deal most of their damage at close range, so keep your distance from bludgeoning or slashing attacks and focus on ranged attacks. Shots from an arrow or other elemental spells will get the job done, just not as fast as fire spells.
Once the Ancient Giant Eagles are dead the Ceremonial Warhammer will be within the nest of beasts. The Blue Jay will express its gratitude for saving its nest (only if you talked to it previously).
