Early in Baldur’s Gate 3 near the Nautiloid crash site, you may have come across a “Scuffed Rock” with something hidden underneath. There are no instructions or guidelines and you may find yourself wondering how to move it. If you’re perplexed by this mysterious boulder, worry not, because in this guide we’ll show you how you can move this seemingly immovable object.
Ways to Move the Scuffed Rock in Baldur’s Gate 3
Successfully moving the Scuffed Rock involves using a character with a Strength score of 13 or more to click and drag it away from the item under it. As you walk up to the Scuffed Rock, you trigger a Perception check. If you pass it, you’ll spot something under the Scuffed Rock. If you have yet to come across the Scuffed Rock or are unaware of which character to use to move it, read along. We’ll explain everything you need to know about moving this object.

Recruit a Strong Character
The first step in moving the Scuffed Rock is to ensure that you have a character with a Strength score of 13 or higher in your party. If you haven’t done so already, recruit a character with the necessary strength. There are three potential party members who meet this requirement: Lae’zel, Karlach, and Shadowhart. However, if your player-made character already has a Strength score of 13 or higher, you can skip this step.
Locate and Move the Scuffed Rock
Once you have your strong character in the party, it’s time to head to the location of the Scuffed Rock. You can find it on the cliff southwest of the Nautiloid ship crash. After getting to the Scuffed Rock, direct your strong character to stand next to the Scuffed Rock. Then, simply click on it and drag the rock away.
Loot the Ornate Chest
Once you’ve successfully moved the Scuffed Rock, you will uncover an Ornate Chest hidden beneath it. This turns out to be a Harper’s Chest. It contains valuable loot, including a Harper’s Notebook, Harper’s Map, a ruby, potions, gold, and an agate. Simply click on the chest to interact with it and claim your rewards.
