BG3: How to Cure Bane – Comprehensive Guide and Tips featuring Daphne Fama

Bane, the dreaded status effect in Baldur’s Gate 3, may seem daunting to cure, but fear not! It is indeed possible to rid yourself of this curse. Here’s a guide on how to cure Bane in Baldur’s Gate 3.

When afflicted with Bane, your character suffers from a -1d4 penalty on all attack rolls and saving throws until the curse is lifted. Fortunately, there are two ways to cure Bane: a long rest or utilizing the Remove Curse spell.

The Remove Curse spell, categorized as a Level 3 spell from the Abjuration School, can be learned by Clerics, Warlocks, and Wizards at level 5. However, in most cases, opting for a long rest would be more efficient than expending a valuable spell slot.

If you find yourself repeatedly experiencing the Bane status effect, it is likely due to the following reasons:

• You have equipped Gloves of Power without possessing the Mark of the Absolute.
• You have equipped the Absolute Warboard and cast Absolute’s Protection on a character without the Mark of the Absolute.

Until you obtain the Mark of the Absolute, equipping items affiliated with the Absolute will continuously afflict you with this curse. To acquire the Mark of the Absolute, visit the Goblin Camp and allow Priestess Gut to brand you. Keep in mind that embracing the Mark of the Absolute may impact certain aspects of your story’s ending, so make your decision wisely.

If you find yourself affected by Bane without any Absolute gear, it’s possible that you encountered it in Auntie Ethel’s basement in the Teahouse. Breaking the cursed mirror can trigger this effect. Regardless of how you acquired Bane, the cure remains the same – a Long Rest or the use of a Remove Curse spell will restore you to your normal state.

If you happen to find yourself in Ethel’s basement, it’s highly likely that you’re attempting to save Mayrina. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a helpful guide specifically for that quest.
