The Best Items in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3

Band of the Mystic Scoundrel

Band of the Mystic Scoundrel let’s you use a bonus action to cast illusion and enchantment spells which is really nice. It’s in the jungle, up high in a campsite backpack at X:-1568 Y:-1528.

Spells it works on:

  • Hold Person

  • Hypnotic Pattern

  • Command

Nyrulna

Nyrulna is nice and a key feature is being piercing damage type to pair with chesty chest. It can be found in the jungle in the chest near the exit.

Silver Sword of the Astral Plane

Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is a pretty nice sword especially for a githyanki. Get it from kithrak in Shares’s caress.

Cloak of Displacement

Cloak of Displacement. Buy in Dancelon place.

The Reviving Hands

The Reviving Hands are essentially an upgraded version of the Hellrider’s pride gloves from Zevlor back in act 1. Buy in Stormshore Tabernacle from Vicar Humbletoes.

Amulet of the Devout

Amulet of the Devout are nice for spell save DC. Find in middle chest in basement of Stormshore Tabernacle.

(beware being devined after)

Tharchiate Vigour

This is a permanent buff giving you an extra 20 hit points, technically not an item, but very nice. It can be found in the Vault via Sorcerous Sundries.

Open the doors with these:

  1. Evocation, wish

  2. Abjuration, silver

Go into Elminster room. Pick the lock on the display case. Pick up the Tharchiate Codex. Cast Remove Curse (such as via cleric or scroll).

Terazul

Terazul is like this secret amazing buff item that most people don’t know about. It’s a drink that acts like an additional Potion of Speed which it stacks with, and doesn’t even need a bonus action or action to utilize. It provides an additional action as well as movement speed and AC. It can be bought from Severn in the Guildhall in Act 3.

Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength

Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength is great bumping your strength to 27 and it lasts until long rest which is fantastic especially for those not long resting much. It’s amazing for those using the Titanstring bow or wanting to carry/throw certain enemies.

It can be bought from:

  • Oliver Tefeco, definitely, in the Beehive General Goods at X:-78 Y:-110 (southwest of Sorcerous Sundries in lower city)

  • Bonecloaks

    • Supposedly from Darreth Bonecloak though I haven’t seen it unless giving her the noblestalk in act 2

    • When gave nobestalk to the man, then he sells Cloud giant potion confirmed in act 3. He had 0-1-2 per long rest, and sometimes fingers too.

  • I think Stylin Horst in potion shop in South Span Wyrm’s Crossing.

  • Helsik in Devil’s fee, definitely.

Can have a character respec at withers and level up, check vendor between each level for new stock refresh.

Bhaalist Armour

The amazing Bhaalist Armour provides Aura of Murder which makes enemies vulnerable to piercing damage, thereby DOUBLING the damage of arrows and other piercing weapons. This is fantastic for damage output. It can be bought from Echo of Abazigal after becoming an Unholy Assassin.

The aura has a range of 3m. Shoot

Craterflesh Gloves

The Craterflesh Gloves are nice for stealth archer surprise rounds. They can be bought from Echo of Abazigal after becoming an Unholy Assassin.

Craterflesh Gloves

The Craterflesh Gloves are nice for stealth archer surprise rounds, and the 1d6 Force is doubled since it’s critical. They also proc titanstring strength modifier (+8 if cloud giant exlixir) and both dolors (+7 +7 = +14) for over 22 total bonus damage if equipped. So usually hits for extra 32 or so damage. And with assassin, surprise rounds are always critical. These sweet gloves can be bought from Echo of Abazigal after becoming an Unholy Assassin.

Dolor Amarus

Dolor Amarus is also great for crit stealth archer surprise rounds. One can be bought from Echo of Abazigal after becoming an Unholy Assassin and the other is looted from Dolor.

Amulet of Greater Health

The Amulet of Greater Health is great for survivability adding to your hit points. It can be found in House of Hope in the library on one of the altars.
