Exploring the Accounting Office in Baldur's Gate 3 leads players to high-security vaults packed with valuable loot and key story items. Among these, Vault 9 stands out as a highly sought-after security chamber holding unique rewards. Reaching this specific vault requires navigating through heavily guarded areas and solving intricate security puzzles in Act 3.
Locating the Counting House in Act 3
Vault 9 is situated deep inside the Counting House, which is located in the Lower City district of Baldur's Gate. Players must head to the southern shoreline near the docks to find the massive, fortified bank building. Entry to the main hall requires speaking with the head clerk or acquiring a official pass to proceed beyond the security checkpoint.
Accessing the High Security Vault Chamber
Once past the main entrance, players need to descend into the lower subterranean levels of the facility. Reaching the high-security vault area requires entering the vault doors protected by complex mechanisms and watchful guards. You can obtain a vault pass through dialog options, stealth, or by helping the bank staff deal with ongoing threats.
Solving the Vault Floor Tile Puzzle
Before stepping into the vault room containing Vault 9, you must solve the floor tile code puzzle guarding the main entrance. Standing on four specific numbered tiles in the correct sequence deactivates the magical barrier protecting the inner sanctum. Alternatively, clever players can use water and electrical spells to bypass the mechanical locking mechanism completely.
Unlocking Vault 9 and Claiming Rewards
Inside the high-security chamber, Vault 9 is located along the back wall alongside other numbered security doors. Unlocking this vault requires a high Sleight of Hand check with a rogue character or finding the specific Vault 9 Key. Inside, players will discover valuable gold, rare magical gear, and quest-related treasures to bolster their party's arsenal.
