How to Beat Thisobald Thorm in Baldur’s Gate 3
Thisobald Thorm in Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of those few bosses that is completely optional to fight.
If you are not exploring the map in the act, it is completely possible that you can miss him entirely.
As far as I remember, there is no Quest that makes it necessary to talk to him or even approach him.
However if you have entered the Wanning Moon Inn and come close to his proximity, your player character simply takes a seat opposite of him.

Beat Thisobald Thorm by Drinking Game
One of the most fun things about Baldur’s Gate 3 is you can beat a large number of bosses just by talking to them.
Most of the time your persuasion and Intimation skills get the job done but in the case of Thisobald Thorm things are a bit different.
To beat him in the drinking game you have to possess pass SLEIGHT OF HAND and PERFORMANCE skill checks.
This is recommended not only because this will increase your approval rate with most of your active companions further but also because you will know a little bit about him and about only the weakness of Ketheric Thorn.

- When he first asks you to drink with him choose any option except “attack” or refuse to drink.
- In the next dialogue, you have to choose “Pick up the tankard”.
- Now when he proposes a toast you simply have to choose “Mime Drinking”.
Now you can start sharing stories with each other.
Remember to tell your story You will have to pass performance and for each round, you need to pass Sleight of hand as well as mime drinking.
You will have a lot of chances to ask him questions at the end of each round.
If you do everything correctly, he will simply pass out.
