Baldur's Gate 3: Steal the Amulet of the Devout and get a bonus weapon that does 5-38 base damage!

[@thaliacalearete]

FYI... Jaheira can wear Khalid's amulet found in the basement of her house that gives her immunity to all curse spells when equipped. So that's another way you can have somebody open all the chests for you without getting the curse.

[@ElectricalExistence]

I did that.

[@Ianistoocommon]

This is a great way to steal thees items!

[@Razieljenova]

If you don't want to use a full rest to get the weapons: After killing the enemies loot their bodies, nothing there but, if you pick the corpse and then press "tab" to open the party wide and then go to the top left most "search" option and type either Deva or Scimitar they will show as equipables; so, equip them, drop the corpse and move on to the nether regions.

[@Ianistoocommon]

Great tip! thanks for adding this!

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

That extra channel divinity is amazing with a tempest cleric/paladin with thunder smite combo.

[@yohanes2034]

I don’t understand, paladin thunder smite is only a lv 1 spell and upcasting does not do anything. Better using cleric spells for your channel divinity

[@minos69666]

@@yohanes2034 the paladin thunder smite is a combo between classes. It uses tempest cleric's channel divinity for max lightning or thunder dmg

[@yohanes2034]

@@minos69666 like I know that, but thunderous smite is only 2d6 or 12 damage max with channel divinity because it can’t be upcasted nor doubled with wet condition. Paladin -cleric multiclass is still great though for example getting your paladin spirit guardian is really strong

[@minos69666]

@@yohanes2034 + Nyrulna + divine smite + buffs, its a very heavy dmg build, not saying is the best

[@minos69666]

@@yohanes2034 2nd time you say the same. I will say it again too: you have more thunder or lightning dmg than the thunderous smite: nyrulna, the crab pincer spear, drakethroat glaive, the glaive of the automaton in the underdark,... You prefer your cleric, go on, do it. I just said that the second channel divinity charge is great for this build, and you answer with "but is better for a full cleric".

[@Qulize]

Good stuff Ian. I've heard that if you cast remove curse/drink potion/short rest in front of Steel Watchers, they'll help you fight the devas which is rad.

[@Ianistoocommon]

Thats a great idea! I typically stay clear of the steal watchers, but they would make the fight go a lot quicker!

[@godspi4609]

Instead of fog you can dialogue lock the guy inside by standing on the other side of him forcing him to turn and look at you. Then let your thief do their thing

[@Ianistoocommon]

True, and that is a very good way! I'm so used to just sending in my thief alone that I forget to do stuff like that.

[@Timodifiying]

You can also use Jaheira with Khalid's Gift to get the items without being cursed, since that makes it so she can't be cursed

[@Ianistoocommon]

Thats a great way to steal these things!

[@MrHoteiGoom]

Hello, If you heal with a cleric of Helm, you will have 2 Djiinni and they drop Secret Scimitar (6-29 damage and 2d10 poison damage) :)

[@Ianistoocommon]

Thanks for adding!

[@elenalizabeth]

Ooh scimitars are good for Druid (my preferred character) so that’s good to know. There are not many strong scimitars

[@st3vorocks290]

Man, I hate it when a chest succeeds a saving throw....

[@ElectricalExistence]

the swords and crossbows the steel watch carry also have insane base dmg. you can use them, but you gotta equip them in a odd way and have to use a cloud giant str elixir to use them.

[@elenalizabeth]

How do you get them to drop them?

[@ElectricalExistence]

@@elenalizabeth cleric's command drop. They actually patched out the glitch that let you equip them. I tried it a few days ago. I was mad.

[@zephyrprime]

@@elenalizabethdisarming attack also works

[@elenalizabeth]

@@ElectricalExistence it seems they’ve also patched out the glitch that previously let you get your summons weapons (ie the electrified flail from the myrmidon) and also the items that the Deva drop no longer seems to happen either 🤔 it’s just an empty pouch left there now

[@stephentsai6762]

I had to go to your updated video to find it (I did this last night and found the bodies empty, but your updated videos set me straight). While the base damage is impressive, the lack of pluses makes it kind of annoying compared to other legendary weapons, since many of the opponents you're facing in Act 3 tend to have high ACs.

[@Ianistoocommon]

Its true, I wish you could get this weapon in act 2, it would be great against all the enemies there! Glad you got it! I wish I could edit videos, it would have been far better if I could have just changed this one to show the new way!

[@quelithe]

Easiest way is to drag stuff out of chests and loot it from the ground. No curse.

[@Ianistoocommon]

That is definitely the easiest way, great idea!

[@testickles8834]

If you play your cards right you can get 10 of the Deva mace's

[@katelundberg2029]

I know what I must do but I don't know if my devout cleric has the strength to do it... Here *picks up a small halfling hireling like I'm a shitty parent* you go grab it Jimmy. Make sure to kill the Deva while you're at it *throws them at the chest*

[@Ianistoocommon]

haha

[@kmasse07]

Does anyone know what weapons you get if it’s the Djinni or the Cambion?

[@justicenat4559]

He shows them in the video at 6:12 and 6:23

[@DnD_Robb404]

Clerics trigger different opponents depending on the god. Either a deva, djinni or cambion.

[@purydango]

Which of these can you dominate? Until long rest for example?

[@bigfellowjamarcus6271]

I cant get the mace 😢 when i went back the pouch is empty, tried to fight it again by using laez to disarm weapon or my paladin to command drop weapon but it was immune 😅

[@Ianistoocommon]

Hey, they patched this. You now need to pick up the body before resting use the search function for the mace. Here is an updated video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKTdmXdojbatjtU

[@bigfellowjamarcus6271]

@@Ianistoocommon Wow thanks ☺️

[@devinpm]

Which Shar outcome gives which? I’m playing as Shadowheart now.

[@Ianistoocommon]

if you take the nightsong with you, you get the deva otherwise you get the cambion

[@devinpm]

@@Ianistoocommon Great, thanks muchly!

[@MrLIVEWIRE911]

can you not just do this to the hirlings???

[@Nimoot]

So at 1:35 ... the Fog Cloud isn't needed, just go into Turn Based Mode when the NPC isn't looking your way, no need to waste a spell slot. Also they aren't ... Diva's .... it's pronounced Day-Vuh. Deva not Diva...

[@Ianistoocommon]

Good call on the turn based mode! I never remember to use it outside of combat or stealing from traders haha! After missing some story points in act 1, I tend to long rest so often now just so I don't miss the story progression that I'm rarely short on spell slots. I have heard there is a mod that let's you know when you need to rest that is good. Also my bad, thanks for the correct way to say deva. I suck at pronouncing names for a laugh watch my stealing the idol video I butcher Kagah's name too lol.

[@ebonstone2980]

It's pronounced 'gif'

[@reson8]

No, it's pronounced Dee-vah.

[@Arsonprobable]

Does protection from good and evil prevent the curse?

[@Ianistoocommon]

I just tested to be sure, it does not work.

[@zephyrprime]

Can you still get blessings after robbing the place?

[@Ianistoocommon]

Just tested this, yes you can!

[@michaelrobinson9643]

Be nice if one dropped a great weapon :P

[@ttestagr]

I'm waiting for this to get patched out as a bug tbh

[@garyco766]

They already patched it, in theory, once. It used to be more straight forward. Like so many other bugs, it turns out there were other ways to achieve it. They should have coded it so that the 4d8 radiant is a damage rider effect from the deva itself but... they didn't.

[@Ianistoocommon]

It's true. It's not game breaking or anything (by this stage most weapons you have are better) so I don't think it is at the top of their list to fix, but I'm sure it will be patched at some point.

[@stalwart56k]

Does this still work as of the latest hotfix?

[@Ianistoocommon]

The main part of the video on getting the items from the chests still works. However getting the Devas, Djinnis, or Cambions weapon after the long rest no longer works. Now to get their weapons you need to pick up their body and search for the weapon name, it will then show up and you can equip it or move it to your inventory.

[@stalwart56k]

Thanks!

[@thedarkness75]

@@Ianistoocommon If you have a controller it’s actually easier, you can just pick up the body, open any characters inventory, press A/X on the characters weapon and just scroll down to the mace to equip it and get it. it won’t work with mouse and keyboard but as you say you can just search for it and type it in

[@sametekiz3709]

i don't steal from gods

[@riffgroove]

Seems like a lot of work and a lot of gold spent for a pretty mundane item

[@Ianistoocommon]

It is true, especially by the time you get it.
