10 Secrets Everyone Missed in Baldur's Gate 3

[@wagnarokkr]

Another use of Calm Emotions that may not be obvious is shutting down Rage on enemy barbarians.

[@sunbleachedangel]

I assume it is its primary use

[@fatterperdurabo42069]

Easier to just make sure they can never take a bonus action to rage

[@Adealerofblackberry]

unfortunately, you come across a grand total of about 2 barbarians in the game

[@alessandrogarofalo9951]

​​@@Adealerofblackberryyeah, lol. And even then, they are pretty weak too. Not even worth the level 2 spell slot 😂

[@deecliff6896]

You can also use it in duke ravengard if you chose to get wyll out of his pact and mizora shows up to kill him during the iron throne rescue

[@chanlekho]

The other day i just found out that Yurgir's bed can talk by casting Speak with Dead

[@samisasmidgenpsycho]

U wot? I swear, this game man 😂

[@oliorogue]

insane

[@Mijal15]

If I read something like this about any other game Ive ever played, I would be SURE you are making that up. But it says a lot about this game that I fully believe they would think of that.

[@noblesseoblige319]

What

[@FlintWestMetal21]

i was "right now" years old when i learned this!

[@LordGame2222]

you can learn Helsik is a diabolist without even leaving her shop. Just interact with the various items littered around the showroom, there's five or six of them that have an arcana or history check. Pass a single one of these and you'll be able to get her secret inventory

[@PieletPi]

Karlach also succeeds automatically

[@1Seanmb]

You can also break into her basement and your character will find out there too. Loads of ways to recognize her skills without killing Gortash immediately.

[@Torguish]

You can also learning about Helsik by freeing Yurgir from his contract and then things happen.

[@invictus7736]

The cantrip thing looks less like a secret and more like a massive bug to me

[@RottenHeretic]

Oh yeah, it totally is

[@Shovelchicken]

I was kinda hoping wyll would have a unique blood elixir after being transformed, but nope, still just human versatility.

[@Bodharas]

Dang, didn't realize each character could give up their blood for an elixer. Just got the one for my tavs blood.

[@clarencewalters338]

There's a lot of interactions that are repeatable per character for benefits. Oblodra is just one of the more obvious ones because why wouldn't she want more samples?

[@corneliusmooseknuckle2829]

I just found out if I hit square on my controller, I can select lockpick instead of going into inventory and finding my Thieves Tools. I'm +200 hours into my playthrough.

[@noblesseoblige319]

Yikes. I didn't even know you could use the tools directly from inventory. I guess you already know that you can do the same with a shovel, and blindly dig even if you fail the check to find some buried treasure? Because that took me way to long to discover

[@corneliusmooseknuckle2829]

@@noblesseoblige319Oh indeed. I would have to look through the inventory for the shovel as well. Probably 50+ hours of game play was trying to find things in my inventory. Still not as long as I spent in character creation. 😂

[@pmarreck]

controller players… 🤦

[@D20_Roller]

You can cast protection from poison on your whole party from a camp cleric that you aren’t using in your party.

[@warrenhenning8064]

You can kill all the eggs before engaging the spider queen in the cave under the blighted village in act 1 without aggroing anything and then none of them will get hatched during the fight.

[@xAfterTomorrowx]

not really a secret since on tactician and above thats the preferred strat

[@XSR_RUGGER]

Do you need to be invisible or something? I used invisibility to unlock the way point in case the fight got too hairy at the level I was at the time but I didn't think to destroy the eggs as most of the time I think no one is around and therefore my actions will go unnoticed, I am wrong😂.

[@Doorensk1]

​@@XSR_RUGGERi just used sneak and range attack

[@XSR_RUGGER]

@@Doorensk1 so as long as arachnid momma doesn't see, she won't aggro? Which is weird because somehow she sure as hell saw me pick up something near the well entrance 😆.

[@Doorensk1]

​@@XSR_RUGGERAs long as you're not in its line of sight. You can see how far enemies can see you if you hold shift or are in sneak mode. A single arrow should destroy the eggs, it might even be possible to use an aoe item to destroy multiple at once as long as you're sneaking but I haven't tried that. For stealing an item, maybe they knew because it was wrapped in a spider web perhaps?

[@karllong]

The ritual dagger blood sacrifice is maybe a little easter egg for DOS2 players as elves in that game get an action called flesh sacrifice which gives you an extra action point & 10% damage boost.

[@jedimawk]

You can also trigger the Devil's Fee stuff after reading a notebook in a chest above Gortash's parent's shop.

[@nintandao64]

In regards to the ketheric tip, you could just invis pot the whole team and setup before jumping him. An opening hit on the mindflayer out of invis triggers a surprise round

[@grimmmasterofthetroupe3888]

idk if this is the right place but i found out you can pick up the shadow owlbears in the fight against thaniel. straight up have a shadow plush in my invertory. (info: weighs 0 cost 0 and is level 7)

[@BraghDaMan]

You can also discover Halsik is a diabolist by examining the items in her store and making skill checks.

[@averycoussons944]

The ritual dagger grants you the bonus whenever it gets blood in it, so use your bonus action to off hand attach with it and get the bless with no draw backs

[@revpro06]

Easier way to identify Helsik is a diabolist. Go to the Devils Fee, there's various objects around you can interact with. Use a high Arcana character when doing so to pass the checks it causes. After passing a few you'll unlock the related dialogue with Helsik.

[@DesertDuc]

The Blood Sacrifice effect procs on enemies, too. You don't need to use it on yourself. I usually use it in my off hand and attack with it first, then my main hand weapon attacks with the buff.

[@noskcajxela]

Githyanki Providence + Longstrider + momentum + dash + Illithid flight = I don’t want to fight Orin, I’m gonna go back to the beginning of act 3 on this turn.

[@tehlewlz]

use the ritual dagger with the piece of equipment that gives u force conduit when u take slashing/piercing damage

[@LilmissJ111]

Amazing work! Funny how I look forward for all your videos!

[@Toyhouze]

That's amazing to hear - thank you very much!

[@Horobr]

Me playing durge: "Ok, no Gale, no problem, we still have some humans. Oh, bardic inspiration, nice. Oh, so no bardic inspiration from Alfira. Got it"

[@BigDaddyWes]

Didn't they fix the aoe cantrip bug? That's obviously not how that is supposed to work.

[@ryanstewart2289]

I'm of the opinion that the halfling elixir is the best. Advantage on all skill checks is outrageous.

[@osirisgem]

Shape shifter mask will make you get any potion you want

[@otbaht]

for the guards that were calm emotioned, you can also use that cleric spell. i forget the name but its level 2 and cures things. you can use it to cure that tiefling when her legs don't work too.

[@Fockfly]

Lesser restoration. Love that spell.

[@otbaht]

@@Fockfly yeah that. couldn't remember the name but it works. just well one at a time.

[@bentrieschmann]

Lesser Restoration

[@Voeluspa45]

Luckily I was doing chores with my headphones on, otherwise I would have skipped after hearing your using the term 'Tav' and missed a decent video.

[@Khantia]

Jokes on me - I usually get to Act 2 at level 8 (or nearly level 8... but definitely 8 by the time I reach Moonrise)

[@irgendwer3610]

Alfira absolutely loves to die, there are so many points where she might die and you wont even notice

[@alexanderball9080]

Does telling poltergeist to rest violate the oath of vengeance?😅

[@ckirk7317]

The Ritual Daggers "Blood Sacrifice" ability can be used in dialogue too for bonus to checks. It shows up at the bottom with other bonuses. One of the best daggers in game.

[@Blakobness]

Could you get multiple of the Dragonborn or other rare race potions if playing multiplayer and having your friend drop in as a Dragonborn? I wonder if them dropping out and coming back in with a new character would allow for another go, or if they just mark that it was done by a Tav and prevent any other Tav from making use of the feature.

[@Emrakul-ee4ru]

spell in a bottle you can technically get 4 dragonborn and 23 total through multiplayer

[@dantespicysausage9615]

Does anyone know if Volos eye sees the invisible trap doors in sorcerer's sundries to get the legendary staff?

[@ma-yj5vr]

Yes it does

[@randomnickify]

Just use "see invisibility" spell

[@dillon6702]

Disguise self doesnt work with the blood elixer?

[@talmiz101]

it's a shame that we can't play a Minotaur or Centaur or any other races out side the main cored ones would have been awesomely epic.

[@volteer1332]

I think that a lot of people were begging for Kobolds to be added as a playable race. They're already in the game, same with Gnolls.

[@Tiparium_NMF]

Are the spells given by Dragonborn elixirs permanent or are they also just long rest?

[@nunya_bizniz]

Until rest

[@KingOfHeartsTANK]

How does the tielfings blood work? You can have a tielfing give blood to get a potion that lets you cast flame blade? Is that the same.of Mephistopheles tielfings have tats ever long rest? If so I'm about to restart my honour mode run as a tielfing. I wanted to make a build centered around flame blade without being a druid, as I feel flame blade is the coolest looking sword in the game, but I didn't realize it was only per long rest and you can't up cast it at all. I was even thinking of doing a lvl 3-6 spore druid, level 3 thief/assassin and level 3-6 gloomstalker build with blame blade and shadow blades as my main weapons, or a smiting paladin druid soni could utilize flame blade. Why does this still suck so much? The summon blade skill from warlock is so much bette, but it's just default looking weaponry.

[@deadkidnextdoor]

I thought you could get those potions multiple times ? I can’t help but remember doing that

[@heartofdawnlight]

i just thought the racial potions sucked BC i was a half elf in my first playthrough. EVERY OTHER ONE IS INSANE!

[@drschwandi3687]

Can you respec into bard, get the improved bardic inspiration and then respec into another class?

[@sunbleachedangel]

I assume you'll lose it

[@ryudragon7]

Likely just like learned spell scrolls in Wizard, you could learn it. But without enough levels in the class, you lock it away until you pick up the class again. Try 1 level in bard and see what happens.

[@SethKamins]

Eldritch blast doesnt work with the gloves and twinned spell? Also do you have a discord?

[@z350k03]

So question....if you disguise self to a different race before doing the blood elixir thing, can you get different elixirs?

[@Toyhouze]

It looks like that does not work unfortunately - Araj Oblodra sees through it :)

[@christinehede7578]

What a shame you can only get most of these only once per game.

[@mi8kecheck]

Would Calm emotions work on Auntie Ethel's minions?

[@THETYMEKK12]

What a hell? :D These are amazing!

[@crazyelf1]

Does Improved Bardic Inspiration work if you are multiclassing and dip into Bard?

[@volteer1332]

Considering I gave Karlach one monk level and now she gets [Monk] dialog options, I assume yes. There are also dialogs specific to certain diety worship, but I haven't seen any specific to subclasses (eg a bard's college or a monk's tradition)

[@isaiah2696]

Can you use disguise self to get multiple potions?

[@MrRitmu]

nice, thank you.

[@waverebel9503]

Does this still work in patch 6

[@ItzGenesis]

If you disguise self, can you get the specific spell you are looking for?

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I do not know but, considering it's a blood related thing, I assume the illusion doesn't change it.

[@volteer1332]

​@Blasted2Oblivion disguise self changes your character's weight in this game, allowing you to be thrown or pushed further, as well as unlocking interesting dialog options, so it's possible, but I think that it is limited to once per character.
