Baldur’s Gate 3 has tons of usable items; some are hard to find, while others don’t require much effort, though all of them have great uses. One such item is the Zehntarim Shipping Crate in BG3. There are many other useful items as well, such as Thieves’ Tools & Spoon of Saltiness.
Zhentarim Shipping Crate is a great item to get if you want some additional stuff, such as potions and grenades, and you can get the parasites from it, too. But, using it requires some skills; otherwise, you will end up wasting its effects and the corresponding items.
In this guide, I have discussed the location of the Zhentarim Shipping Crate and how to use it correctly. Let’s jump in.
Where to Find the Zhentarim Shipping Crate in BG3
The Zhentarim Shipping Crate is found in the Moonrise Tower area. But, there are some more crates and cargo stuff around the Zhentarim Shipping Crate, so you have to look out for the right crate.
First off, get to the exact spot where the shipping crates are located. So, it’s actually on the dock side of Moonrise Towers. The docks are to the east of Moonrise Tower. The exact coordinates are X-Axis: -68 and Y-Axis: -185.
Once you are there, find the crates marked with the Zhentarim symbol. That’s the Zhentarim Shipping Crates.
How to Use Zhentarim Shipping Crates
In BG3, the Zhentarim Shipping Crate is a one-time usable item. You can either destroy it with your attacks or throw it towards an enemy.
The first thing you gotta do as soon as you find the crate is get those 2 Mindflayer Tadpoles. These will be received automatically once you pick the crate. Afterwards, you can choose to use it by destroying or tossing it towards an enemy.
Throwing it towards an enemy will make it explode, and the area around it will be covered with Caustic Brine. This will deal 1d4 Acid Damage. It is a great item to use when there are multiple targets in front of you.
Simply, just throw it towards them and it will explode, creating a surface of Caustic Brine which will damage on its own.
Also, the barrel contains 3 random grenades. You can get these grenades too and use them to deal damage. But grabbing these grenades from the barrel is a bit tricky as they get destroyed with the barrel. So, you have to use some extra techniques to get them safely.
Moreover, these Zhentarim Shipping Crates are excellent for heavy battles where the enemies are surrounding you. With just a single use of this crate, you can easily target multiple enemies.

Yes, you can get the tadpoles from Zhentarim Shipping Crates in BG3. As soon as you pick up the crate, 2 or 3 Mind Flayer Parasite Specimens will be granted.
And if you destroy the crate, it will leave 3 dead Mind Flayer Tadpoles. So, it’s better if you pick up the crate first to get the tadpoles, and then you can destroy it.
