How To Move BG3 Scuffed Rock
Moving the Scuffed Rock is actually pretty simple, but it has some requirements, which is why some players might have struggled with it. To move the rock, you would need a character with a high-strength core. You might already know that I am talking about Lae’zel, the Githyanki Fighter companion you meet on the Nautiloid ship.
She has enough strength to move the rock, so make sure to bring her with you.

- With a high-strength core character in your party, head over to the place where Scuffed Rock is located.
