Baldur's Gate 3 - Easily missed powerful ITEMS in ACT 1! (that stay good for the whole game)

Those nightwalker boots are amazing paired with the spiderstep boots with two melee heavy characters in your party. Toss web on a group of enemies and send in both fighters with these boots on.

I always get caught n fail checks so I jus kill everyone I feel it’s fair

Minsc know how find all items

how are the ogres in that spot? i only find 2 of them in the blighted village and i usually talk them into giving me their horn to call them into battle

Dude that’s what I get for not killing the one decent oger in the world

The Blood Of Lathander AKA Act 2 destroyer is probably easy to miss. Players would probably refrain from revealing the artifact or aggro the creche.

Is the githyanki kresh in act1???? Cause i did all of the upper world in act 1 and half of the underdark doesnt seem lile the kresh is in the underdark to me

welp looks like I gotta explore Act 1 a little more, I didn't know you could encounter spiders with out going down the well and that skeliton has been missed on my solo and every coop load me and friends have made and don't sleep on 1 or 2 HP damage mods thats the diffrence between being knocked or letting them attack 1 more time in many battles.

You can get the silver sword from the gith leader by the dragon. Command drop, pick it up, revive companions at withers.

Okay but You were so mean in hitting Zevlor. The guy is trying his best and I love him.

If you save Thulla in the Myconid colony by giving her an antidot3, she gives you the Boots of Speed which have a "click heels" bonus action to essentially dash with enemies getting disadvantage on opportunity attacks. Great for melee characters that aren't spec'd into Rogue.

I got All of those items except for one and I decided not to kill the guy might go back and Robin later though

there's an item that gives you any skill up you want as well, right? a hair strand or something? I was told to look out for this.

There is a very good Maul hidden in Wakeen's Rest.
It is contained inside a chest in the same area were you rescue the man trapped under debris.
The whole room is on fire and it has very limited visibility, but there is a chest in there with the maul.

Trade to volo.... That i have miss, so hope i can do in act 3... And a tip, If u do the mision that the childs gives u(stole the idol) u can skip the druids atakcs the thieflins, smoke bomb-steal the idol and fast travel to camp. Them from your camp,travel to the portal close the Druids cave so u enter the by the door, go to the childs cave and u recive a blue RING that gives 1 armor 1 save. Amathing ring.

Gloves of archery isn't bad seeing how you can have a fairly strong ranged build of Battle master, Lucky and Archery fighting style. Then you can end up using Disarming attack or tripping attack from range and with such a high hit rate you have a good chance of it happening with another die of damage as well. Due to the high hit rate and rerolls to hit the +2 damage is not something to ignore.

Having a +2 in int checks and saves is worthy getting the int headband for that reason.

hold person/monster is the most OP spell in the game. my level 12 wiz can 100% hold 6 people and make every attack against them a crit. ezpz. i didnt take damage most of act 3

The hunting short bow is pretty freaking CRAZY on a rogue!

Sweet I got all of these 😄

I kinda slaughtered all the goblins and cant get the gloves of archery now. But man, I love the returning pike. Mmmm

underdark has a (pendant?) that gives you magic missile and upgrades existing ones

I put gloves of the underdog on my paladin in act 1 and literally nothing I saw from that point on was better than giving it to my melee frontline tank who wanted to dive into the middle of every fight and get an extra 5% chance on smite crits

bro didnt even mention the sword you can command drop from Voss, its a legendary that is absolutely insane on a githyanki character (laezel, or custom), and is literally one of the best greatswords in the entire game

Why does bro sound like @nadeking

i just got the everburn blade of whatever its called from commander on the nautiloid which gives my oathbreaker paladin good damage to start with i just need better armor than +1 ring male with defender fighting style to make him truely powerful for act 1 but i dont think there is anything better without dex which gloves could help but i dont know what im gonna do i just entered the underdark on tactician and 2 of my starting members have died to my hand being gale and laezel gale because i took dark urge background and cut off his hand when he reached out of portal or whatever

Me who cut the bridge down while Minthara was on it... No boots for me :(

Rip i pushed crush of a cliff while he was peeing.

At the top of the arcane tower in underdark, you find a chair lying around with a peculiar name involving strength (I forgot what it exactly was). You can destroy the chair to obtain a club which gives you a huge strength boost. This was super helpful for my casters since they don't use melee weapons but high strength means longer jump and larger carry weight.

Sold by a vendor in the Creche. Probably the best early game weapon Unseen Menace. It's a Pike with an ability called invisible Weapon which gives you "while equipped the weapon is invisible". When a weapon is invisible you get advantage on all your weapon attacks. if you miss an attack it loses invisibility for 2 rounds, which rarely happens. It's pretty insane.

you forgot the necromancy of thay

Theres a legendary helmet somewhere around goblin camp in act 1 that lets you shapeshft as well idk where i picked ot up at i found it in my inventoty when looking for something else

boots of featherfall, and obviously the mace of lathander

I put the under dog gloves on karlach and made her a bear totem barbarian. It's a nutty build cause she takes no damage and gets advantage for free

If you kill Gra can you no longer loot the ring?

Oh, and Rangers also can cast Spike Growth which can both nuke lower-level enemies, and provide difficult terrain. So, if you're not playing up the beastmaster angle, there's another good ranger concentration spell.

The Blood of Lathander mace. Legendary rarity. You'll have to find the weapons to go on the pedistals to unlock the crest. Without the crest, you'll have to race the clock before the monastery self-destructs. Grease the stuck turnable statue in the creche (same room as the flesh splitter), and read the plaques. One faces east, one faces west, and that opens the path to the mace. Getting though the path, you'll want characters with ranged weapons, and probably also Magic Missile. Destroy the generators for the forcefields, deal with the hostile objects, and go forth to claim the mace. It gives a passive skill that lets it shed light (which blinds fiends and undead), and provides once per long rest casting of Sunbeam, and a form of death ward that will also heal your allies for half the amount it heals you for. As one wiki puts it, the weapon trivializes much of act 2. Dual wielding it offhand with with the Larethian's Wrath (sold by the vendor in the creche), has been a boon to my ranger.

Can someone pls tell me his weapon he’s using

Love amulet of misty step on my barbarian, must surprise my enemies immensely

This is a great video, I don't know how I missed so many of these act 1 items! I always feel like I've checked every nook and cranny and there's so much more to check.

Dont sleep on the Second Marriage. Conor maybe undead but he can be summoned an infinite amount of time and be used to set off traps or bait enemies into combat early. It's basically your personal drone.

neckalace of elemental augmentation is not there for me :SSS

i just got to the gith area and your telling me after 100 hours im still in act one!?!

You can also get a legendary weapon (silver sword of the astral plane) for githyanki pretty early

I found the jackie Chan amulet of momentum yesterday. Your character fights like a martial artist-It's awesome.

You missed three great items! The first is the Magic Missile necklace from the Hobgoblin in the mushroom town in the underdark, the second is the sassur weapon (silences on hit) from the bark of the big tree in the underdark, and lastly is the adamantine splint armor from the grymforge!

You dont have to steal the heal gloves you can just trade for it

And for a Gith char you can get a gold weapon near Waukeens Rest don't have Lae'zel in the party at that time. Cast drop items on the Gith leader.
