Baldur's Gate 3's beefy patch 7 will finally drop next week (2024)

FAQs

Should I destroy the brain Baldur's Gate 3? ›

Since the talking brain can be used to aid you, you should help the talking brain unless you don't want to for roleplay purposes. Either way, you can continue the story by receiving the quest from someone else if you don't help the brain and receive the quest there.

You are able to take a short rest twice per day. Taking a Long Rest will reset your available Short Rests back to the maximum of two.

That determination is also impacted by the game's dice roll mechanic where a player's roll determines if the outcome of a character action is a success or failure. Baldur's Gate 3 received critical acclaim, with praise for its gameplay, narrative, production quality and voice-acting performances.

Every time a class levels up, they'll increase their health pool, gain access to new class features, and occasionally earn a feat or ability score improvement. Leveling up is a critical part of the Baldur's Gate 3 experience, so it's important to understand how XP works.

For that reason, we suggest freeing and not mutilating this new lifeform. Us is basically a small, temporary advantage in the earliest chapter of the game - a controllable, and pretty powerful (if limited) ally who has a lot of health and some good melee attacks that match many of the standard Baldur's Gate 3 weapons.

However, its superiority in Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't stop there. The Everburn Blade equips players with fundamental attack maneuvers. Overall, it stands out as one of — if not the most — most potent weapons in the game.

Should you Let Astarion Bite You? Letting Astarion bite you is an easy way to get approval with him. The simple answer is yes, as the only downside is gaining the Bloodless debuff, while Astarion gains the Happy buff and his approval rating of you increases.

The question is unanswerable by mortals as a life's worth is determined by the individual and all those who were affected by the life of the individual, and we don't have the weights on those factors. Of the available options I lean towards the infinite value one.

You can long rest as often as you'd like, provided you have the resources. However, long rests move "time" forward and may affect the outcomes of quests, the availability of NPCs, etc.

But let's talk romance: while Baldur's Gate 3 has a number of intriguing romance paths, Shadowheart's is easily the most popular, with 51.3% players completing her romance arc (which you can find a walkthrough of here). It turns out she really is God's favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world.

What is the best class in Baldur's Gate 3? ›

The best classes in BG3 are Bard, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, and Paladin, as they are the best at fulfilling their role. All five of these classes are able to accomplish their specialty better than any other, even if just by a small margin.

The Upper City Is Missing From Baldur's Gate 3

This huge section of the city was mentioned specifically by Larian Studio's co-founder Swen Vincke in the final Panel From Hell on July 7, 2023, just four weeks before Baldur's Gate 3's full release.

Summary. Baldur's Gate 3 is based on Dungeons & Dragons 5e but has a maximum level of 12, not the tabletop RPG's maximum level of 20. Expansion of the level cap is unlikely.

He leans more toward evil than neutral. He's willing to kill his best friend and literally enslave the world using the Nether Brain. He even joins the Nether Brain if you don't side with him. He has no soul, as all illithids don't, and it's proven by his actions when you even slightly act against him.

I think it's a good idea to rest at least after any quest completion (incl. side quests) but definitely don't try to avoid resting if you're hurt. It's hard to pinpoint a frequency as there's no time in the game so... just rest when you are low on hp and out of short rests.

If you choose the 'submit to the Elder Brain' option at any time, the game will end. This is technically one of the multiple ending options, and it's certainly not one of the best options, but it's worth doing if you're trying to see every possible outcome - and if you have a recent quick-save to go back to.

Unless you're doing an evil playthrough and don't care enough about the advantage on Intelligence saving throws that the Githzerai Mind Barrier provides, it is highly advisable that you purge the Waking Mind's consciousness rather than consume it.

If the Mind Flayer is fed, it will leave the windmill after a long rest. It will later re-appear in the Lower City, killing a couple of NPCs. The Mind Flayer can still be killed for its brain after giving it a corpse, but consuming it at this point will not grant an additional illithid skill point.

It is actually impossible to dominate the Elder Brain during your first encounter with it at the caustic brine lake. The final check is set at DC99. If, bychance, you manage a critical success (natural 20) on this roll, you will still not be able to dominate it.
