What are Soul Coins in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Soul Coins are a rare and valuable currency and power source used in the Nine Hells of Baldur’s Gate 3. This miscellaneous item is forged of infernal iron and is directly related to one of the game’s companions.

As the name suggests, they are created when a soul is bound into a coin and then used as trading currency by devils and their cohorts.

They first appear during an optional early side quest, and once you become aware of them, it’s important to obtain Soul Coins whenever you can as they can be extremely helpful in the later stages of the game.
