7 Insanely Cool Interactions You Might Have Missed in Baldur's Gate 3

first up is how to get discounted items from Traders the easy way by increasing a Trader's attitude towards you you can get a large discount on everything that they sell and the quickest way to increase attitude is to donate gold however the amount of gold it takes to increase a Trader's attitude is actually based on your level so if you go to Withers and ask to change your class to bring your character to level one it will only take exactly 400 gold to increase a Trader's attitude from neutral to Max to get even higher discounts you can also increase your proficiency and persuasion good Merchants to do this on are Damon since he'll be around for a very long time assuming you keep him alive and I also like to do this on Auntie Ethel since she sells elixir of Hill giant strength in the Grove just make sure not to go to her swamp or she won't be in the Grove anymore and last Darth bone cloak I love doing it on this Merchant because they sell elixir of blood lust Hill giant fingers which are used to create elixir of Hill giant strength and War fangs which can be used to craft elixir of bloodlust so really an excellent Merchant for powerful Elixir and you can visit her up until you leave for act three so she can be your source for all those Elixir at a discount and if you like that tip don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more balers Gate 3 videos number two is how to steal everything from a Trader there's currently an arms race going on between laran and the community trying to steal items from Traders through bugs and laran hot fixing it as of December 21st this still works but we'll see for how long to get the Trader's entire inventory of items sell a pouch or any other container to the trader in the trade tab then switch to the barter tab put all of their items in the pouch then close the pouch drag the pouch to a character that is not talking to the vendor click the other character's portrait to switch to them then doubleclick the pouch and exit the shop you will then see the pouch open up and you can click take all to have all the items put into your inventory completely free thank you to migri 19 for commenting this tip on my last secrets and tips video link in the comments number three is upcasting ritual spells admittedly I haven't been doing this you can actually upcast ritual spells while still not using a spell slot if done outside of combat it will Target more people when upcast it so it can be really really convenient rather than one by one casting long Strider you know four or more times after each long rest so instead you can just upcast it and get almost your entire party maybe in one or two casts instead I mean so many times I have casted long Strider after a long rest on each party member individually casting kind of waiting for a short cooldown doing it over and over but no more and number four is making enemies skip their turn this is one of the most powerful things you can do to an enemy and surprisingly it's not all that hard to do one of the easiest ways for anyone to make all enemies skip their turns is through surprised surprise is a condition that makes the target unable to use actions or reactions and inflict fting surprise on an enemy is as easy as starting combat by attacking them while invisible you could drink a potion of invisibility but you'll eventually run out of those and a much quicker easier source of consistent surprise on enemies is actually the cheeky quasit which can be found in act one under the blighted village shovel the quasit has invisibility which can be cast an unlimited number of times which means essentially every single fight if you start by attacking while invisible with shovel then you'll surprise your enemies making them skip their turn the Warlock also has a conjur imp which has invisibility if you go packed of the chain and probably one of the strongest sources of invisibility is just playing dgar dgar get invisibility as a can trip allowing them to cast it as many times as they like outside of combat this allows you to play any class you'd like and still start combat from invisibility causing the enemies to all skip their first turn amazing surprised isn't the only way to make an enemy skip their turn however enemies will also be forced to skip their turn when afflicted by both the prone and frightened conditions this is incredibly powerful because both prone and frightened can be applied repeatedly however after testing it does appear that prone needs to last a minimum of two turns for them to completely skip their turn this means things like enraged throw which applies prone for one turn when combined with frightened does not force the enemy to skip their turn it would be absolutely amazing if it did I was actually experimenting with a mortal reminder enraged thrower build and was disappointed it didn't work but let's be real Tavern brawler is already op Enough Five stacks of reverberation also causes a two turn prone as used in the Warlock build video and brutal leap from bone Spike boots along with grounded thunder strike all cause two turns of prone if you want to combine those with frightened to easily cause enemies to skip their turn and of course in my opinion the easiest source of AOE frightened is Mortal reminder from the great old one Warlock subass and number five is a pet drier we know about the pet ble the pet spider matriarch but did you know you can get a pet drier being that there is only one drider in balers Gate 3 we need to go after carnis light of the absolute in Act 2 and the way to get him as a permanent pet is to use control Undead on him now you might ask but he's alive so we'll need to un alive him and make sure he gets turned into a shadow cursed Undead this is possible by aoid voiding the Convoy and going straight to the Harper Ambush spot instead of the Harpers though you'll be there and you'll actually be presented with some unique dialogue options for hiding if you eventually reveal yourself you can demand the lantern from carnice and send the Convoy on its way without protection from the shadow curse if you do you'll actually find them later right outside moonrise Towers being Shadow cursed Undead now the hardest part about using control on dead on carness is that your target needs to be lower level than you in order to cast control on dead carness is level six so you need to be level seven which is actually somewhat hard at this point in the game so you'll probably need to wait and fight a lot of enemies in act one before you're actually ready to control the drider but once you're level seven you have almost a 100% chance to succeed on your role to use control Undead on carnice and he's got quite the health pool making him a formidable Ally for act two and number six is how to cast fog for free an infinite number of times now without using any spell slots either and this is possible thanks to a very easy toiss cloak called the cloak of cunning broom this cloak creates a smaller version of fog each time the wearer disengages this is amazing because outside of combat this allows you to make an infinite number of fogs perfect for easy pickpocketing since you can keep making the fog bigger and bigger by using more and more disengages this cloak can only be acquired by purchasing it from Mattis in the last Light in of Act 2 but in order for Mattis to be there there are several conditions that must be met making this cloak really really rare first you need to convince Roland to stay and help defend the Grove and not go to balder's gate then of course you need to successfully save the emerald Grove from the Goblins in order for the teelings to survive and make it to the last Light in then after you do both of those things you'll actually need to find Mattis right near the entrance of last light in on the left and of course because Mattis sold completely useless things in act one you might just look at him and be like Oh not this kid again but the cloak of cunning broom is actually pretty valuable so you know tip my hat to Mattis for finally offering some good items and last number seven is almost permanent advantage and we're going to do this from gandel's aspiration this is a two-handed heavy crossbow which grants fell of monsters which gives advantage against monstrosity type enemies you might think this only applies for attacks coming from the crossbow but it actually applies to all of your attack roles even your melee attacks there are currently 23 monstrosity type monsters in balers Gate 3 the vast majority in act one this includes monsters like the Boule Eder caps nulls harpies Wars Minotaur spiders and spiderlings and even more in later acts now to get this heavy crossbow you'll need to head to The Hags layer right outside you'll find gandel he's a G Monster Hunter and is actually hunting a Starion the cross bow can only be looted from his corpse so make sure when you reach gandel you take him out and although less classes are going to be able to wield the heavy crossbow you can give it to lasel and then pass the hunting short bow to another class which is much more likely to be usable and then you'll have two party members who have advantage against monstrosity type enemies and those are the seven things you might have missed in balers Gate 3 thanks so
