33 Things You Didn't Know In Baldur's Gate 3

[@Cinetyk]

The sheer sandboxy nature of all these mechanics on top of everything else is impressive. You can always find people doing things in way you haven't even dreamed of

[@pablopablo3834]

Its similar to Divinity 2 which is where these mechanics come from you had these teleportation pyramids you could find and throw them around and teleport from one to another so you could leave one at the grove trader for example and then drop one exactly where you were and teleport back and forth and throw them on high ground and teleport everyone up there. it was so good and had so many uses.

[@adamgerald849]

And do you know how they thought of all of these mechanics? Some from player feedback, but a lot of it was from the devs simply playing their own game and thinking "you know what would be cool?" Then adding this stuff in.

[@grotesque666]

I need to try the backpack bomb. Amazing. I absolutely love this game. One tip I found today, if you find a chest that's too hard to lockpick or break open, find a tall cliff and throw it down.

[@christianmorris1667]

you can also throw healing potions at allies in the downed state to pick them back up while also healing them Edit: try and let the splash hit them and not your ally directly as it does count as attacking them

[@CFronTV]

i saw my companion do this and was like huh

[@ConvictedHeart]

A tip I found: if you have prepared spellcasters in your party, you can swap their spells any time you're not in combat by selecting them and pressing the K button. I never saw this tip in the game and honestly didn't think to check the keybinds for something like that. A friend I've been chatting with while we both play mentioned that and it changed the way I play.

[@FlyingFox86]

Yeah, very useful to know for all of those utility spells that don't have much use in combat. Just keep your spellbook ready for battle, and switch out a utility spell when you need it. I'm not sure, but I think that spells like speak to animals (spells that last until the next long rest) stay active even after you've removed it from the spellbook.

[@mrxxbrian]

This was important with downing Commander Zhalk for his weapon. Shadowheart has an ability to drop his weapon in combat but it's not on her bar unless you switch spells with the K button.

[@Stone7C1]

i wonder if this is a bug, because normally casters like wizards need a lot of time to prepare their spells and do this as part of a long rest. thats why i didnt even notice it until later in the game.

Shove is a bonus attack and help is an action, so knowing shove will wake up teammates is valuable.

also food weighs a ton so just picking it up is a pain, always SEND TO CAMP.. this info is soo important, as you can get encumbered easily, so look in your food bag and send 200lbs of food to camp ::P... ask me how i know...

[@vladyvhv9579]

I had no idea you could destroy ladders. I also never knew blood could be frozen. I admittedly haven’t played any of the recent vaunted cRPG games, but this game has the deepest combat of any RPG I’ve played.

[@dyamonde9555]

many of the mechanics have been taken and further refined from their last title, Original Sin 2. You might want to give that one a try as well then.

For the "blood outs out fire" tip, what's actually happening is only one surface can be on the same spot at once. So the blood surface is actually overriding the fire surface. One useful application of this is if the enemy casts web and you have create water you can "wash away" the web surface

[@rob2257]

My favorite trick is to try to walk away from a close enemy in combat so they club you in the back of the head. I do that a lot. Highly recommend! 👍

Additional tip about sending supplies directly to your camp: if you put a camp supplies backpack into the traveler's chest, the supplies you send to camp will automatically go into that bag.

[@shiro2400]

that is a real great tip thank you !

[@FlyingFox86]

@@Minoseth I should point out that I'm actually having some issues right now of it not quite working. I think it might only work if you put the supplies in the traveler's chest yourself, and not by using "send to camp". What also works, surprisingly, is putting a camp supplies bag into the travelers chest when there are already supplies in there. The bag will just hoover them up. So what I do now while out and about is occasionally look in de camp supplies bag I carry around and send everything in there to the camp. Then, when I check my travelers chest when I'm in the camp and there are supplies in there, I take the camp supplies bag (that's in the chest) out and put it back in immediately.

[@adamgerald849]

The eureka moment when I sent my familiar through an iron barred gate.... years of playing games has taught me to think a certain way... and Larian really applied real life logic to so much of the game. When you play BG3, you will constantly be saying "wait, you can do that???" And guess how they came up with most of these ideas? They played their own game and thought "you know what would be cool?" And then did just that. I respect Larian more than any other studio now.

[@jesterday2222]

You can also disguise as a gnome to get into some places. Or use the animal form 'rat'. Or even that thing that turns you into a little cloud I guess. Or misty step? (not sure)

[@Blit_Wizbok]

There are several containers that can be used for storage that have unique icons that are helpful when keeping things organized. Some examples: - Near the start of the game you can get a "bucket of fish" on the docks - the area where you meet the gnolls or the paladins of tyr you can get a rib cage - there are two different kinds of pouch icons, and three different kinds of backpack icons that I found so far - there's a book that acts as a container that can be found at the blighted village. At x:0 y:451 in a mysterious hole These are just a few that I found and they all weigh the same as a pouch unlike chests or barrels

I noticed a specific interaction between high ground and the returning pike (possible other items) where when thrown from the high ground it has its thrown damage + some sort of fall damage it also does to the enemy and pushes them it also seems to deal the damage over the surface of the weapon so it's possible to hit multiple enemies (and allies) with it if they're lined up. Makes returning pike with ring of flinging pretty strong even into act 2

[@MartinzW]

I don't agree when people claim the game has endless possibilities. It has a lot of possibilities, more than most if not all games but not endless. On this expectation in my playthrough I've tried number of things that seemed to make sense in context of the game but they don't work or bug out. - I expected disguises to be better integrated in dialogue but instead it's a very surface implementation where it essentially resets dialogue and sometimes offers different options. Even you companions treat you both differently and in same way with disguise never addressing it. As a result disguise feels like afterthought. - One location has a destructible sentry, another location only let's you disable it through puzzle. No reason given even when I try examining object, it doesn't include description which could address it. As a result, feels inconsistent and I can't try different strategies reliably. - Invisibility, sneaking and crouching doesn't work equally everywhere and not because of lore reasons. In some environments NPCs will immediately notice when their possessions are touched, in others you can take stuff right behind them. This again makes it inconsistent and I can't try different strategies reliably. - You completed quest by a different approach? Now for some reason parts of quest-related-story are broken. This is also inconsistent so I don't know if I will break things next time or discover something interesting. I get that problems from such massive game do arise and I am ok with it. But it's not endless possibilities.

[@animewatcha]

@@MartinzW dunno about 2 and 4 yet. number 1, i have been posts of doing disguises before doing speak with dead. So you don't look like the guy who killed the mob. number 3.

[@MartinzW]

@@animewatcha Speak with dead works well with disguises. It's the alive npcs that react inconsistently. In some areas even with turn-based on, npc will turn around during your turn when doing something you shoudln't after which you should jump out of their line of sight. So there is workaround but it doesn't feel nice.

Regarding tip 17 and Turn Based Mode to set up ambushes etc. I have found that Turn Based Mode is the better way to do this, as previously I was just hitting G so everybody stops following and then I could position people... but during a combat it trigger my Karlach to level up and nobody else and I realized that splitting the group with G means splitting XP only to those party members that actually hit that enemy. So it's not a HUGE issue, but if you want avoid getting your party's XP out of wack... stick to turn based mode instead of ungrouping.

I’ve noticed the party exp is often off by a small amount 25-100exp but for me it’s due to them being inspired and getting exp that isn’t shared. However, after sending a player to camp then re-electing it seems to mostly reset of close enough. I’ve had party members split up and a full screen away for boss fights and somehow they all got the exp, so I really just think it’s an inspiration exp bug.

I'm 100 hours into two playthroughs and there's tons of stuff I didn't know. Amazing video!

The whole dip mechanism is quite silly, especially the fire dip. Candle dip? Dip from your own burned body? I understand the poison dip, but fire? Metal would just get warm, lol. It's not the same as dipping your dagger in poison.

Everyone who loves Baldurs gate 3 and haven't played Divinity original sin 2, thats another gem and a game that isn't talked about enough. Sure I prefer BG3 but DOS2 is insanely good and pretty much on par with BG3.

[@kalmage136]

I played Div Sin 2 b4 any baldur's gate. and i loved it, it felt free yet still familiar to the DnD / cRpg field. more casual / free-flow and wild sandbox-y than BG3 w/o the dices. I second this!

I've been setting up cover on high ground with crates and stuff and moving my character behind them after every shot.

[@mbmanra]

Great video! All very useful taking out using the controller hahahah

[@sjanimetrack6420]

Man that was an amazing bag pack tip 🙏🏽👌🏽💯 it saved me a lot of trouble

[@Cederlof_Ink]

Dude, the backpack bomb and magehand to throw items is gold.

[@Reddotzebra]

"You won't have to waste skill points on getting them back!" Find familiar is a ritual spell, if you cast it when you're not in combat, it costs you nothing but an action point, which you get back on your turn.

[@alexkirschner9672]

Another thing is watch out using fire spells around bookcases as you will destroy the books, accidently did this in the library looking for nightsong book knew where to find it but all books were burned...so yeah

[@enigma2297]

That silence one is very useful

[@Bigfeats1337]

These really good. Certainly a game changer for me.

[@ion_force]

I was gonna poopoo this advice until i realized I didn't know that you could drag and drop items from your inventory into the world.

[@MrFlaten92]

Imma use the backpack bomb! Thanks for the tip!

[@SlumpogMillionaire]

Tip for vendors: Initiate conversation with a vendor using a party member with highest charisma, this will ensure the best prices; even when switching between party members within the trade/barter screen. Quick stop tip: Right clicking while your party member is moving will cancel the action and they'll just stop. Great if (like me) you accidentally clicked on a crate then quickly realised it'll be stealing if you loot it.

[@piczasso]

- Send all barrels to camp (also water ones) - You can steal things using darkness, so nobody can see what is inside. - If enemy is yellow just put some barrels near him (you can also put barrels while hiding on red visible ground, it won't trigger a fight) - There is enopugh food in the game for hard level - its completely the same difficulty. - don't attack frog :)

[@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash]

okay the high ground prone strat is pretty clever

[@virkfulsarchive]

3:12 didn’t know camp chest can hold long rest ingreds, nice!

[@t.s.adrian8785]

Excellent points! I learned several tips. Thank you!

[@bens5859]

I love BOTW and TOTK but, in terms of "things you didn't know you could do," baldurs gate 3 is 👑 UNDISPUTED KING 👑

[@argonaut_jay]

A trick I use is to put one of your companions you're not using camp supply pack and alchemy bag in your camp chest, that way you can just unload your bags easily and keep it organized.
