Baldurs Gate 3: Guide content

We start our guide to Baldur's Gate 3 with tips and tricks, which offer several useful hints about frequently made mistakes, exploring the environment, avoiding fights, passing skill tests, and other important gameplay mechanics. The chapter dedicated to the basics of BG3 describes topics such as combat, exploration, romances, sneaking, skills, abilities, Multiclass characters or stealing.

We have devoted a lot of space to the character creation and development process. In addition to discussing the character creator, you will find detailed descriptions of all character classes (fighter, wizard, rogue, hunter, cleric, warlock, paladin, druid, monk, bard, barbarian, sorcerer) along with their unique features, specializations and the best builds, as well as overviews of all the races available in the game. Our guide also has tips on party management. We described all the companions (Laezel, Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale, Wyll, Karlach, Halsin, Minthara and others) who can join you. You will also learn about giving commands, creating the optimal party, and interacting with allies in the party camp.

A very important part of our BG3 guide is a detailed walkthorugh. Our walkthrough covers all main, side and companion quests. You will learn how to start quests, be prepared for the eventual major decisions and consequences, as well as what rewards there may be for completing them. The main part of the walkthrough is supplemented by a chapter on boss battles and recommended combat tactics, as well as solutions to environmental puzzles, which can open new passages or unlock collectibles (amulets, rare equipment, quest items, etc.).

If you have a question or are interested in a certain topic, the FAQ section will have the needed answer. We divided the questions into larger categories such as campaign progression, combat and exploration, and character and party development. On selected pages, you can learn, e.g. how to use fast travel, how to quickly accumulate XP, how to disarm traps, how to locate secret passages, how to die less, how to heal party members, how to avoid fights, how to talk to the dead or animals, what is the maximum level, how to read minds, how to repeat skill checks, how to split the party, how to increase the carrying limit, how to reset character development, or how to learn spells.

Bigger chapters are supplemented by a number of smaller pages. You'll find information regarding trophies, controls, PC system requirements, co-op, and how long does it take to beat BG3. Moreover, we prepared a separate chapter on the universe of Baldur's Gate, including a summary of events from BG 1 and BG 2, and whether knowing the series is required to fully enjoy BG3.

Baldurs Gate 3: Tips and Tricks

  1. Use manual saves. In Baldur's Gate 3, your party members can die fast, or you can make a mistake during a quest and block yourself from getting the best outcome.
  2. Look for alternative solutions. BG3 rewards creative approach to problems. For example, thanks to clever answers during a conversation, you may avoid a difficult battle, or find a less troublesome passage to a guarded location.
  3. Make sure to reveal and disarm traps. Always take a party member with you that has the ability and necessary equipment to disarm traps. Some traps can deal heavy damage or even kill a party member.
  4. Use terrain to your advantage. You can place party members before initiating a battle, or use environmental traps (e.g. exploding barrels, puddles that can be ignited).
  5. Recruit the first party members as soon as possible. Traveling as a full party can make battles and puzzles easier, since you have access to a variety of skills from various classes and races.
  6. Check enemy cards. There you can learn about their basic attacks, resistances, armor, or general statistics. This will make eliminating them easier.

Baldurs Gate 3: Game length

A standard playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3's campaign should take from 75 to 100 hours, so it is an exceptionally long game.

A thorough exploration of the regions, completing all possible quests, and collecting all loot may even double this time.

Baldurs Gate 3: Language versions

BG3 is available in 9 different languages. Unfortunately, only the English version offers voiced dialogues.

You can find more information on the page: Language versions.

  1. The release date of the PC version is August 3, 2023.
  2. The PlayStation 5 version is planned for September 6, 2023.

Besides more than 200 guides, his writing credits include reviews, previews, and editorials. Privately, almost exclusively a console player, most often playing action-adventure games (with a strong emphasis on good plot), racing games, and horrors. Also appreciates stealth games and tactical turn-based games in the style of XCOM. Plays a lot, not only at work but also outside of it, hunting - within the limits of reason and free time - for trophies. Apart from games, likes cycling trips, a good book (especially by Stephen King), and TV series (Stargate, The Sopranos, and Supernatural).

Joined the guides on GRYOnline.pl in 2019. Nonetheless, you can also come across her posts about LEGO, which is something she has passionately collected for many years. A former corporate employee who decided to move to the UK, where she devoted herself to collecting pop culture relics. Her favorite game genres include primarily RPGs and jRPGs, classic RTSs, as well as unique indie games. When, despite a sizable collection of games, she concludes there's nothing to play, she launches Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, one of the KOTORs, or Baldur’s Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, not Throne of Bhaal) for the hundredth time. After hours, she enjoys painting figurines or admiring her collectibles and retro consoles.
