Baldur's Gate 3 Scuffed Rock Location
The Scuffed Rock is located in a beach area at the beginning of the game. After successfully escaping the Mind Flayer's ship, head to the small path along the beach. There should be a small gap that you can jump over, and you should be able to notice the Scuffed Rock nearby. You can check out the images above as a waypoint to help you locate the rock.
The scuffed rock requires a significant amount of strength to be moved. You'll need a character in your party with a high enough Strength attribute to attempt moving it. Lae'zel or Karlach are great options for this.
Once you control a high-strength character, hold your left mouse button on the scuffed rock and drag it away. The rock should now be out of the way, allowing you to loot the Harpers' treasure box underneath it.
Looting the treasure box will give you the following items:
- Harper's Map
- Harper's Notebook
- Ruby
- Potion of Speed (x2)
