Another tip: The amount of gold it takes to increase merchant attitude is based on player level. If you respec a character to level 1, it will only take 400 gold to increase merchant attitude from neutral to max.

[@RageGamingVideos]

Well that's amazing

[@Phoenix197]

I'm going to try this, then take the money back with sneaky lil Astarion.

[@reflexdogtraining1337]

Good looking out! 🎉

[@iKennectz]

my brother 😇 *edit* Just tried this on my 3rd campaign with zentarim trader. 400g to max, I went to the back of the cave to steal some goodies to sell to get my gold back and got caught and had to kill him. Still, good to know for the future 🤣

[@gameraven13]

or just keep a hireling or companion in camp that just stays level 1. Also base attitude for traders is 600 cost and increases by 600 every few levels. I've only ever seen it 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, etc.

[@dharpoon]

Cast disguise self before you steal an item from a vendor or any npc. use turn-based mode so you have more time. Then after the deed, revert back to your original self, and the npc will not suspect you at all. You can also disguise self to talk to the person you've killed using the Speak with Dead spell.

[@reflexdogtraining1337]

The pickpocket! Well done! 🎉

[@ProxyGateTactician]

That 1st part doesn't work when I've tried it. I know someone else posted it in a video, but it doesn't actually work.

Sounds good, doesn't work.

[@dharpoon]

@@ProxyGateTactician I removed my pickpocketter from the group. I distract the vendor with my other party members. My pickpocketers sneak and steal. runs away and undo disguise self not on the line of sight of the vendor. It always works for me.

[@guywithdreads]

I just have my bard use perform, then use astarion for the deed. I get items and paid for my performance. Long as your rolls are good.

[@KonradinvanOrton]

Im playing a Druid right now who isnt very strong so he cant jump that far. But transforming him into a cat allows my stronger Companions like Karlach to throw me VERY far. Best way to get around for me and over a lot of ledges!

[@michaelvalmo]

You wont take damage when thrown?

[@amandasunshine2]

Does that not use a wildshape slot?

[@ZaestraXD]

The backpack bomb is fun when you have saved everything the entire game and choose to throw the entire pack on the end boss.

[@jtirri8842]

To clarify: Merchant discount/markup is affected by the dialogue character's Persuasion skill, which is modified by Charisma, not the flat Charisma modifier itself. So, you may have a very skilled character (like a Rogue or Bard) who will get better prices than another party member with a higher CHA score but no proficiency in Persuasion. In my current playthrough, I don't usually bring out Wyll, and I don't have anyone with a very high persuade skill. So, I respecced Wyll to give him Expertise in Persuade, and gave him the Ring of Geniality (+1, sold at Last Light Inn) and made him the Party's Minister of Commerce.

[@lexm5871]

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned: You can summon familiar Scratch. He will find buried chests you can dig up. You can dig them up even if no-one in your party passes the roll to reveal the location by selecting the shovel in your inventory, then selecting Dig.

[@sylviawylie9218]

If you don't have Scratch and everyone fails the roll, you can still try to guess where the chest might be by walking around the area and using your shovel in various places.

[@darinsingleton3553]

I recently saw a video, which suggested that finding buried treasure chests was based on a SURVIVAL check, not a PERCEPTION check. Is that true?

[@Dr.Geeves]

Yes, my characters make survival rolls to find the buried chests.

[@darinsingleton3553]

@@Dr.Geeves Thank you for your response. Much appreciated.

[@Lygeron]

Great Job! But here are some upgrades to your advices: locked chest to Camp - you do not need to go to your camp with chest. Just take it and then use option - Send to Camp. Now it waits for you in your camp supply chest, so no back and forth travel. Backpack full of fire - yes, you could throw it and then blow with fire cantrip or fire arrow. But why to spend action? Just put in this backpack flaming torch! This will blow whole container immediately after landing :) There are so much opportunities in this game. Keep trying !

[@mickyds100]

Quick note, in a 3 player multiplayer session we were using the chest of mundane to transport things like barrels and eventually used it to carry heavy armour we were gonna sell and we found out when you enter act 3 (Enter rivington) the chest decides to just not work anymore and everything inside just stays plates and stuff. Lost about an hour of gameplay so that sucks but we found if you reload to the start of act 3 before you leave camp you can quickly take everything out and send it to camp to keep your items from breaking. Also I think this happens because for some reason the Chest of mundane gets turned into a 'Mundane Chest' item probably an oversight by developers or maybe intentional who knows.

[@hufismissing]

Thx for heads up

[@nunya_bizniz]

Yeah i heard this as well.

[@pops91]

Fun tip that can be broken. If you attack someone using non lethal damage and knock them down their loot table will be different from when you kill them (typically better). After you loot the knock down you can kill the enemy and then reloot them for a different set of items! Essentially looting twice per body. If you knock down a merchant you can loot all their inventory! then you can leave and come back after a long rest and the merchant will have their entire inventory refreshed so you can re knocked them down and re loot. It is quite busted ngl.

[@BloodyDIMISIS55]

@pops91 wait it dupes the sellers items?

[@darinsingleton3553]

So, you attack a vendor, using non-lethal attack, and knock them out. You then steal all their items & gold. You take a long rest. Come back to that very same vendor, the very next day .. .. and they have no negative reaction or recollection of you attacking them the previous day?

[@pops91]

@@darinsingleton3553 they have negative reaction to you for attacking him initially (I think -15) but they are not immediately hostile to you. Nothing is stopping you to reconnect them down

[@daninjapenguin1019]

Did you know you can take out an enemy in a group without alerting anyone around or blaming you? As long as the group isn't easily aggravated, you can cast Darkness, Fog Cloud, and Silence on most non-hostile groups without them caring. Combining something that heavily obsures like Darkness/Fog Cloud with Silence, surrounding people can't see you attack them or hear the person scream for help. Start turn based mode right after casting darkness to get as many people in initiative as possible. As long as you can take out the person in one round and stay within the silence and obscured area, people outside of it won't initiate combat. You can then leave the general vicinity before the obscured area disappears and they will be confused about who kill your target. You will be stuck with melee since you are in the silence area but you can attack them normally. Ranged options are a little finicky since you need a target you can see but your are blinded. At melee, you are blinded so you have disadvantage but they are also blinded so you have advantage canceling each other out. I did this while trying to Hitman my way through the goblin base and took out the guy on the throne and the drow while people were staring at me. (Killing all 3 aggros all the goblins even if no one sees you do it though) The obscured area also works with pickpocketing people. Cast Darkness/fog cloud, then start turnbased, hide, and you can walk up and pickpocket right in front of them. They usually then only run to the very edge of the spell effect on their turn and you can remain in the obscured area and pickpocket them again. They will be confused but as long as you remain obscured and out of line of sight when escaping, they won't know it was you

[@kpr2]

You've got some gems in here! Mad props & many thanks! ETA: lol, wasn't through the list & didn't realize I was in there hahaha 😜

[@KillerBite28]

I have a small Chest/inventory management tip that isn't immediately obvious: In the same way you can drag an item to the Profile Picture of a character to automatically give it to them, you can open a chest, and drag an item to the top *icon of the chest* instead of a specific slot. For a chest that already contains a lot of items, this helps to avoid accidentally swapping items out of the chest. Whatever you drag to that top icon, it will just go to the first available slot in the chest. You don't have to fiddle with any scroll bars, and it just generally makes moving items a bit faster. Obviously, this works for any kind of pouch, backpack, etc.

[@user-ke8di7ws6n]

The chest of mundane is best used for explosive barrels.. All the explosive barrels!

[@kadmilos9112]

Tutorial Tip: You can swap out a spell in Shadowhearts spell list for Command - then use "Drop" on the Devil Commander in the tutorial. Then pick up his weapon as you run past and you've got flaming greatsword for most of Act 1 and 2.

[@razxephon4873]

[@gokuss9999]

Some things from the Patch Notes: Fixed a bug where adding items to the Chest of the Mundane changed the weight of an item. Fixed an issue where the Chest of the Mundane stopped functioning as intended once you arrived in Wyrm's Crossing. Do with that what you will

[@tyceilican]

CTRL+Clicking items in your bag lets you select multiple items and move them around. you can also shift click to select lots of things to move them around.

If one of your characters is stuck in jail and another of your characters is strong enough to throw people, you can actually just throw your prisoner through the bars and get him out like that.

[@assassinbread9690]

The non lethal attacks only work in melee combat for anyone thats wondering.

[@Alfresk]

A tip about shapeshifting: if you go into a shop and shapeshift into a panther or something wild and scary, the shopkeeper will run away allowing you to steal from his/her chests with very little effort to not get caught

[@TheLilmuzzy]

As of patch #1 the chest of the mundane no longer reduces the weight of stored items it simply temporarily transmogrifies them. You can no longer use the chest as a way to reduce your carry load making it rather…. mundane

[@salvarious]

Summons are also good for countering ambushes or invisible enemies. If you're suspicious of a new area, do group stealth & if there's something hidden there, you'll see the red vision area light up on the area. Then conjure a zombie or something in that red vision area & the enemies will reveal themselves to ambush the zombie & lock in initiative with that zombie. Then you're in a position to ambush the ambusher. If an NPC gets mad at you for stealing or breaking some kind of law & starts that dialogue of "talk your way out, surrender, bribe, attack, etc.." don't ever press attack. They'll tend to somehow alert everyone on the map. Instead, switch to another character & attack them again & that'll just start the initiative of combat, but it will tend to be more localized to that room or whatever, so after the fight you can go about your business without having to genocide a whole area. If you're trying to clean out a bunch of heavy loot from your camp chest to a vendor -say you have a bunch of armor or something. Have one guy at camp & the other guy at the vendor & toggle between both characters by hitting the "send to" option to just load up your character at the vendor until it gets all sold off. Also might make sense to have an unused character or hireling at camp to be spec'd out with support/nonconcentration spells. Spells like longstrider, warding bond, or light can be cast at camp on your other characters, then dismiss this character, but those spells' effects stay on your party as they embark on the world after that. One of wizard subclasses has a perk that makes extra potions, so you can have this character do all your alchemy for the party, then disperse it on your other characters after - maximizing your resources.

[@user-bq1dz8dt7r]

Nice tips !

[@stfauth6031]

You can also use a Bonus action or action switch characters and then use a bonus or action, thus going back and forth to maximize attacks… for example Lae’zel attacks and leaves the enemy at 6 HP so I then go to Astarion he uses his offhand attack(bonus action) then he moves to another enemy and sneak attacks the flanked enemy. Then back to Lae’zel for her next full attack…

[@Ali_ReBORN]

If we were able to name the backbacks and pouches it would have been amazing. I put the arrows, scrolls, potions in separate backpacks or pouches for everyone! Just open an empty one, choose scrolls or such from the item menu, shift click everything within the sub menu and pull them into the bag ❤

[@MolitovMichelleX]

The bug with the Chest of Mundane Items has seemingly been addressed by today's patch, but I can say before today, my Chest definitely bugged going from Act 2 to Act 3, leaving me with a bunch of smokepowder barrels, illithid canisters, and regular (empty) crates that were permanently tableware--and I only had about 15 items in it, total. Here's hoping the patch fixed this!

[@davidcrawford5324]

Oh they fixed it alright, by making it totally useless as a bag of holding now. The weight reduction effect was a bug or so they claim, so they "fixed" it. AKA nerfing our fun shenanigans with it. Unintended or not it was cool to cheese the encumbrance mechanic for awhile, but as usual with things like this...fun detected, so it had to go 😡

[@cloudace5]

Hey bro in relation to that chest in the arcane tower there are those blue mushrooms that negate magic in the underdark if you throw one of those mushrooms on the chest the chest will show the real items. its not a bug there is an enchantment on the chest

[@TheSalomao666]

a thing I have to test about this chest 1:00 can you store enemy bodies inside this chest?.... necromancers will have bodies available at any time

[@darinsingleton3553]

I believe I read somewhere that you CANNOT store corpses in the chest of the mundane, nor can you send corpses back to camp - by themselves; but you can send, at least two corpses in a backpack ( perhaps more, but they wrote two bodies) to the camp chest, for a bit of storage. You then can retrieve the backpacks with the bodies inside them. Not perfect; but an option.

[@starxlord9856]

This game is so freaking detailed where you find fun cool stuff like all of this by trial and error! I love this and will be playing this game for a long time!

[@dgjacob83]

Something I learned from a friend that is game breaking imo. The illithid power that makes you vulnerable to all damage but you heal on hitting can be put on an enemy. This trivialized every major boss. I took out a certain villain with infernal hp in a single turn with hasted karlack.

[@michaelvalmo]

How?

That weapon illumination dimming option is freaking game changing!! Thank you! And wait, THATS what the intertwined character portraits means in combat?!?! 😱 Mind blown. Awesome set of tips 💜

[@greenmountainpokemon2112]

Loving the playthrough!

[@DroidRagePsycho]

It's worth mentioning that merchant attitude is bugged when it comes to companions. There's something with resting or dismissing the companions that can reset the merchant attitude back to neutral.

[@ZeekCannon]

4:50 you can also just use bludgeoning damage to open it. I did that with an unpickable chest and it worked fine. You might not want to do that in your base though as the wreckage stays there forever and there's no way to remove it. It just adds visual clutter.

[@BMxDKful]

I think the new patch notes say that they fixed the chest of mundane thing in regard to the weight of items so picking up the chest might not be viable anymore. I have not tested this though.

[@pscully608]

Can confirm that, at least for saves that got the chest before the update, any items put in after the update are still transformed, but the original item's weight is added to the weight of the chest, rather than the transmuted weight.

[@keithkaczmarek]

I use that weird Chest to carry around barrels of oil, booze, gunpowder, and water barrels so that my Frenzied Beserker Barbarian can toss. Also great for carrying other chests, crates, etc.

[@VanAugerify]

Ive been using the chest of the mundane to carry EVERY Explosive type / Water barrel i come across on Karlach. very handy to have like 10+ Firewine, Oil, water and smokepoweder barrels at the ready whenever needed for...mischief.

[@majorlycaffeinated]

Something I only just figured out because I was in a *dire* situation during a boss battle: You can heal your character with a potion twice! Once by drinking it and once by *throwing it onto yourself*. So if you've got a character who's VERY low and the next few turns are all enemies, you can fully use that character's turn to throw a healing potion onto themselves, then drink a healing potion and they're good to go! Great for keeping your Barbarian who's at the front line alive if your healer can't get to them in time and the Barbarian is about to eat a LOT of damage the next few turns.

[@user-bq1dz8dt7r]

[@AjaniGoldmaneFFXIV]

I found a inventory hack, im sure people already know about but! clicking on an item in your inventory then shift clicking another item will grab all the items in between those 2 points and u can drag and drop those items into backpacks or send to camp. and for more specific stuff hold control then click on items is more specific way to grab certain items. Its made my organization a lot better.

[@Shimahou]

Started a new game about 3 days ago; the Chest of the Mundane doesn't seem to be able to be placed in the inventory anymore. It also now weighs a whole 100 units of weight when empty, so even if I lugged it around with my 18str Karlach, it wouldn't be saving me much weight at all. Dunno if it's a bug, but there it is.

[@davidcrawford5324]

OMG thanks for the shout out!!! You really made my day! BTW that bag of holding feature on the Mundane chest has been patched out now so it's not worth using anymore

[@JadedJragon]

My first play through of bg3, I saved every explosive I found in one bag with the intent to use it against the final boss. I called it my ‘scum bag.’ Watching the final boss disintegrate after all my hard work was one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in a game in a *very* long time.

[@IZarcuSI]

not sure if this is known or not, but you can hold control key and click items in your inventory to multiselect them, or hold Shift and click an item then a second item further down to select all items in between. makes sorting your inventory much easier

[@kilzarretworks2376]

5:17 another tip chests when destroyed, It leave all the loot on the ground, except for the trap, they can explode and destroy the loot, so you can take the chest out of the building and break it already in a place where no one will see you. doesn't work with all chests, some of them are either too heavy or too strong, but most chests can be opened with such brute force in some way

[@dkossovski]

Another tip I haven't seen anywhere else: using a Withers hireling respecced into a druid (at least that's who I have) with the spell Goodberry, you can have virtually unlimited food for camping, especially as they get up in level and can cast it more times - cast it 10 times and you have 40 food supplies, resetting at long rest.

[@nunya_bizniz]

Be careful with the mundane chest. I've heard many say it giltches out when entering act 3 and all the items you put in will remain plates and whatnot.

[@davidcrawford5324]

It's a moot point now since they nerfed it's weight reduction effect in patch 1 making it useless now. Although they did fix the chest bugging out and borking your items in Act 3, but that's pointless since nobody will bother using it without the bag of holding property anymore

Misty step is sight based. If you can see it you can move to it. Works great when there's a lever on the other side.

[@andyl8055]

The error with the Chest of the Mundane happens at the transition to Act 3 when you leave camp and end up on the road down to the first area outside Baldur's Gate. The chest becomes "Mundane Chest" and everything inside becomes exactly what it appears to be (e.g. a mug or a fork). It also loses its ability to reduce the weight of things you put inside. The way you avoid it is by taking everything out before you transition to act 3.

[@nunya_bizniz]

I was wondering if there was a simple workaround for this. Thanks

[@spydr_r8984]

I see that this is a old video, but another thing for the chests that you can't lock pick at the time, if you try and sell them to a merchant of any kind it opens that chest and allows you to move the items from inside without having to worry about having to open it

[@cannibalholiday]

I had tested making sussur petal grenades to use in battle but, while it worked when I threw them at my party in camp, when I threw them at enemies they were still able to use spells. That might have been a bug though. So people should try it out if they have petals on them.

[@iluminas2866]

About the Chest aparrently it bricks the items when u change from act 2 to 3. The items will stay the same as what they are transformed into even when u get them out of the chest. This happend to me but one thing if it just junk u want to sell anyway then in one of the trading modes the items get back theyr original value and not the junk it was transformed into.

[@andrewvanmarle]

Another tip: you can use shift to select multiple items in your inventory to move them to a pouch, barter or another character

[@mauricegatewood5800]

Funny thing when you first meet Halsin on the goblin camp, durring the fight if you kill all the goblins before the worgs are free from there cage. Halsin (as a bear) will jump through the gate in a similar manner. At least for me he did.

[@BlitzkriegHD]

1:25 - I’d just like to add a REALLY BIG DISCLAIMER about the Chest of the Mundane: Take ALL of the items you have stored in it out and into your travelers chest BEFORE you progress from Act 2 to Act 3 (basically before you travel to Baldur’s Gate). No spoilers, but there is a cut scene that plays, and after that cut scene EVERYTHING that was in the chest at that time stays in its “mundane” form permanently- meaning any of the loot you’ve stored in there will not return to its normal form when you withdraw it. I lost 500~ odd items (luckily most of them were just junk equipment I was going to sell) because of this bug.

[@Dwarf_Oil]

Warning about Chest of the Mundane - there's a bug at the moment where once you get into act 3 it stops working, so items you take out of it don't transform back to their original form.

[@caltron919]

[@RageGamingVideos]

I appreciate the want for it and we do on all the ones it makes sense, these don't have it as it would be "Tip 1" "Tip 2" "Tip 3" etc which isn't too useful and describing the actual tip would be too long for time stamps

[@RunDaRabbit]

Understood. Thanks my man

[@Kross415]

It is still useful to go to the next tip if you already know the current one.

[@KibethSE]

Warning on the Mundane Chest. When you go to Act 3, it breaks so new items added to it no longer modify. Additionally, anything that was in it, will no longer change back to normal. Take equipment out before moving to Act 3. Camp supplies are still seen as camp supplies (even if they're stuck as cups and forks in act 3) though, so go nuts adding those to it regardless of act. Emptying the chest in Act 3, saving, then reloading can usually fix this. (don't exceed 100 items in it to keep it consistent)

[@SuperUnnamedplayer]

Just a mention from todays patchnotes: "Fixed a bug where adding items to the Chest of the Mundane changed the weight of an item. Fixed an issue where the Chest of the Mundane stopped functioning as intended once you arrived in Wyrm's Crossing."

[@GreyFox23]

Turn on non-lethal damage when fighting merchants. In situations when you turn a former camp against you the merchants will fight you too. If you kill them they only drop designated drops. But if you knock them unconscious you can loot their ENTIRE store inventory including their current amount of gold and all the old items you may have sold them. Similar as if you were pickpocketing.

[@josephsillivent2806]

you can use the trade with anyone to increase your relationship with them to max, simply donate items steal them back and just keep repeating till at 100, i have let to really use this but im curious if it might change some interactions if the NPC has a very positives relationship with you.

[@Phoenix197]

I mainly keep barrels in mine. Very useful to have many, not the end of the world if they glitch out. All my good gear does not enter the chest. 😂

[@MetalMonkey1453]

It does, but funny enough IF YOU KEEP THE ITEMS IN THE CHEST they retain their value. I.E. if you're using it as a bag of holding just for wares, then if you sell or trade the chest with the items in it then you can retain its value. It won't work if you take stuff out, but if you put it back in the value will reset, even if the item's usability is lost. And then the items will appear in a vendor's inventory for their appropriate cost. Kinda funny seeing a 2000g cup.

[@devxved]

FYI YES THIS IS A BUG. You can dual wield weapons you normally shouldn't be able to even without the dual weild skill. An example is the lathander legendary and the legendary trident. Or two staffs on one person. So how this works andwhat you'll need as its hard to explain in text. You need a shield on one person, and a person dual wielding daggers (daggers are easy to get). So basically if you wanted to move the legendary mace to the dual wielder you would give the person with the shield the mace. Then you drag the shield to the dual wielders off hand, the game for some reason moves the main hand weapon instead of the shield. So your character should have an off hand mace now. You then move the main hand dagger to the offhand mace (does not work the other way around) and now the mace is in your main hand with a dagger in offhand. Like i said for my example the legendary trident. Give it to the person with the shield, drag the shield to the dagger. Bam, now you have a main hand lathander. And an offhand trident. And you can swap them. Works with every weapon usable with a shield. So yes two mage staffs, not always practical, but you can get decent combos out of it, lik the permanent lathander buff if you move it this way to your main hand even after you unequip it the buff stays. And all this work to explain it is why ive not tried to, but hopefully people see this.

[@danielchoritz1903]

omg the trade-charm interaction is something you have to know :) im feeling a bit stupid by not discovering this for my self :D

[@Fuzzhead93]

Omfg the stealth one... I stopped playing a rogue in Act2 bc i couldnt stealth anywhere!!!

[@josephsillivent2806]

you can use the backpack trick to through multiple healing potions to top off your hp too.

[@garynemis9041]

Even better than picking up a chest to lockpick it later, just throw it off a cliff and never risk losing a thieves tool. A high enough cliff will do more than enough damage to any chest to get over and kind of toughness it has.

[@allycard]

unless a target must go down first i like focusing down people between party members so it can go my turn enemy turn.

[@oxylepy2]

Mmmmm the chest of the mundane. Gotta love when the bag of holding breaks the game and cause crashes

[@male_maid5951]

fun fact with lever's magic missle will allow you to hit levers at 90* angles

[@anthonyjaramillo6956]

As of Patch 3 the chest of the mundane not only doesn’t change the weight of the items but the chest weight is doubled and now is no longer a viable option for a substitute bag of holding unless you have at least a STR of 20 because you can’t carry it. Maybe a better idea to just to get a bag of holding mod.

[@Jimmybreezee92]

if you got caught in stealing by a guard,stay in conversation pick your other character and put a dark arrow or spell near the guard that caught you，then conversation will break and you are good to get away

[@danielmace8188]

for vendors if you give them items for no money or just give them gold the face will slide toward the green at low levels it is about 500 gold hign it is about 2000 gold to good from orange to green SO if you sell them stuff you pick up said item off the ground it says 5 gold but when you sell it it goes for 2 or 3 gold but if the face on that meter is in the green it will sell for 5 gold.

[@karefalk4119]

Most of these "things you didnt know" are just gameplay mechanics explained in the game. But the bagpack bomb seems fun, imma try that.

[@ashen5027]

The Magic chest tip is life savior

[@wrinklykiller]

Careful with the chest of the mundane, it eats items sometimes when going between acts

[@theriddick]

2:59 There are SOME quests where non-lethal will actually give you a comment like, oh I'm glad that person survived or I hope they get better or something. So it DOES work, just sometimes it doesn't perhaps its been patched to work better. I would like it so NPC just wake up after a day or restoration can restore them. But I tested this recently and don't think its the case. This game isn't sandbox as much as I'd like it. Some things are blocked off, and others are heavily script sequence locked. Just the way it is.

[@reidcacaro2919]

The chest is more hassle than it’s worth. Especially when you can just send things to camp. Only thing I could maybe see is using it to carry water and oil barrel

[@Number_055]

Alas, weight reduction in the Chest of the Mundane was a bug and was fixed in today's patch.

[@Blackwind_Legacy]

The mundane chest is obtainable in act 1 and bugs out on leaving camp and entering rivington in act3. Remove all items before then.

[@anthonyaugustus3429]

New patch fixes the Mundane chest. "Fixed a bug where adding items to the Chest of the Mundane changed the weight of an item." "Fixed an issue where the Chest of the Mundane stopped functioning as intended once you arrived in Wyrm's Crossing"

[@user-yz8gq3yo2c]

If Gale is outside your party in the camp and you hit him for some damage, but do not kill him, he will heal himsef and replenish all his magic slots. Don't kill him though because he will not ressurect.

[@NotAiman2012]

Yo this is huge gonna need to try this out

[@xcenic]

OMG so infinite lvl 6 spell slot? so i can just unparty him, hit him and join him again?

[@user-yz8gq3yo2c]

@xcenic Let me know if it works after the new patch.

[@user-bq1dz8dt7r]

Very fkn nice!

[@iskinmind7020]

Omg... The backpack bomb is so busted... Forget divine intervention. Backpack is the ultimate boss killer.

[@xcenic]

i have over 200 hours and still learn a lot of sht from this kind of videos. I just cant stop learning man, plz stop, help me.!!!!

[@Sye787]

Chest of the mundane has some save breaking bugs associated with it right 😬 might want to hold off until next hotfix

[@Azg4l0R1]

you can put barrels in the backpack and use a bomb barrel together with wine or a grease bottle, but what if you put water with a lightening arrow? do you make electrified floor in 1 turn?

[@OneNutChuck]

2:30 this bug can be fixed if you kept one of the susser flower blooms in the underdark all you need to do is put the bugged item back into the chest then you can put the flower in and it will turn the bugged item back into the normal item it was due to the nature of the flower stripping the chest of the magic

[@zuralani1]

good to know

[@nunya_bizniz]

I heard you can empty the chest just before act 3 then transition to act 3 and the chest wont be bugged. Haven't tested this myself though.

[@bobmishima3295]

I have enough smokepowder barrels in the chest of the mundane to give wulbren a heart attack

[@WolfA4]

zoning into act 3 from act will turn whatever is in your mundane chest into plates/forks etc. permanently.

[@Reaperherpderp]

The chest bug is just progressing into act, i just removed everything from it before going into act 3 and kept the chest in my camp in case they patch/fix it to work in act 3

[@rinalin]

tip: cant turn the wheel to get the gondola to the creche to move CAST GREASE ON IT cant turn the statue to get blood of lathander CAST GREASE ON IT any thing that is stated to be stuck or rusted USE GREASE BOTTLE OR THE SPELL

[@Brunhaam]

IF YOU PICK UP AND DROP MIRI'S CORPSE AT BENRYNS FEET HE DROPS TO HIS KNEES AT THE BODY AND SAYS "MIRI NO!" ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ATTENTION TO DETAIL

[@PrincePhobos]

If you use non lethal attacks, you don't get the XP when you kill the monster while it is down

[@ManWhoLaughs2311]

You can also use mage hands to fly through grated doors

[@cooller8888]

good tips, except I think storing potions in bag is useless... I mean, I just didn't find use for this :D you can sort up your inventory by type and all potions will be next to each other, also when you put potions to the bag, you have to keep putting them there manually.... would be a lot better if they allowed players to mark the bag as potion bag and store potions there automatically, just like the camp food or keys and these 2 sadly doesn't even need a special bag because food can be send to camp, immediately and stored there which is definitely kinda breaking the immersion a way more than just auto store potions or scrolls somewhere else but here we are :D There is a lot more they could do to UI to make it better, but there is still time

[@tiandippenaar6135]

Don't know if it was fixed. But the Mundane Chest can bug your items. Be careful.

[@chriswitting7530]

I recently came across the chest and thought it would be a good idea to pick it up but it said it was too heavy and was 240 pounds so not even karlak could pick it up. I dont know if this was a glitch or a fix but yeah it may not work anymore.

[@snafu2375]

If you put a lit torch in your bomb backpack it will explode on impact
