The Most Broken Spell In Baldur's Gate 3

this is your one and only fire spark 81 with your daily dose of video guys and we're back with another Baldur's Gate 3 video today we're going to talk about the most broken spell in the game let's get to it so there's a little level one spell that you've probably overlooked many many times and that spell is called fog cloud and the reason you've probably overlooked it is for many of the same reasons I have in the past you cast it on a group of enemies and the enemies just walk out of it and it really doesn't do any good and if you are in the middle of a big melee fight and you cast it on yourself and the enemies everybody is just blind and it's a bad time for everyone and if that's the case you like me have been using it wrong this entire time this spell is absolutely insane and will basically shut down the AI if you use it properly and the reason for this is because fog cloud has a really interesting effect in which if you hide while you are in it it is considered a heavily obscured area and you're like well that's great fire spark but what if I'm not playing with a stealth character and I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter if you're playing with a stealth character anybody can hide in a fog cloud and you will be successful at hiding from the enemy even if you have zero stealth skills there is however one downside here if you do not have the bonus action to hide and only a few different classes get that bonus action and you have to spend at least three points as far as I know in any of those classes in order to get the bonus action to hide you have to use an action to hide so that means you're going to need to be hasted and you'd have to use your hasted secondary action not to attack but to hide if you do not want to waste three levels into another class for example Rogue in order to get the bonus action to hide this also means that you need to have at least one character with the capability to cast fog cloud and two characters with the capability to Twin cast haste or just constantly chug Haze emotions or some crazy combination of all of those things that works in a way where all your characters can hide after they make an attack which to be honest is a lot easier done than what you would think now it does blind you and as far as I know there are only two items in the game that give you immunity to blindness there is a ring called the eversight ring and you can pick this up in Act 2 and then there is a helmet called the hell dusk helmet which you can pick up in Acts 3. if you know of any other ways that you can become immune to blindness please let me know down there in the comment section so to gain full advantage of this spell it will go something like this you cast fog at the beginning of battle and you move your entire party into the fog and you hide everybody at this point the enemy will do absolutely nothing and just skip their turn because they won't be able to see a single person in the party when it rolls back around to your turn anybody who is not blind can just attack from inside the fog and then re-hide and anybody who does get blinded by the fog simply needs to move right to the edge of the fog right outside of its effect lose the blindness attack move back into the fog and then re-hide now I do realize that trying to do this in every fight may not be worth it and maybe a little cumbersome however in the more difficult fights that you can find yourself in this could be an extremely strong tactic to use what's more for solo Lone Wolf style players who usually take a few levels in some type of stealth class anyway this can be absolutely insanely handy not to mention aside from the ring that you can pick up in Act 2 that prevents you from being blinded there is also a cloak that every time you use disengage will create a fog Cloud around you meaning that you do not have to actually cast The Fog Cloud ability because all you have to do is disengage and if you have two bonus actions you can can easily disengage and then hide inside that cloud completely shutting down the enemy from ever doing anything the biggest hurdle for this spell in order to get the maximum amount of use out of it is figuring out ways in which you can attack and hide in the same turn because by default attacking and hiding are both actions but if you can figure out ways to do this and there are plenty of them you will soon realize how incredibly strong and absolutely broken this spell is alright and that is pretty much it for this one this is just a short sweet video to show you how incredibly ridiculously broken this spell is and how you can abuse it to its fullest if you found this video helpful and informational in any way please consider hitting the Subscribe button and notification
