Baldur’s Gate 3 never ceases to amaze with its innovative, intelligent, and spine-chilling gameplay. And now, there’s a new trick that combines all three to unleash the most devastating weapon in the game so far. It’s wickedly sinister and highly effective, but be warned, it may not be for the faint-hearted. If you’re seeking the darkest deeds in Baldur’s Gate 3, then get ready for an unforgettable experience.
This extraordinary tool, if we can call it that, can be discovered in act three of the game. However, I must warn you that the following text contains spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3. I won’t provide too many details, but I will mention the essential character and their location. If you’re concerned about completing all the quests in Baldur’s Gate 3 first, I suggest doing so before proceeding.
Still with me? Excellent. The individual we’re after is a deceased child named Victoria, who can be found in Cazador’s Palace. Yes, it’s as dark as it sounds. Victoria was cursed by her father in an attempt to deter vampire spawn from drinking her blood. Unfortunately, when one managed to kill her, her lifeless body was left with a powerful necrotic aura known as a ‘Sapping Curse.’ This curse periodically inflicts 3-24 necrotic damage to anyone nearby.
Of course, most sensible people would avoid Victoria’s remains. But in Baldur’s Gate 3, some entrepreneurial minds have taken a different approach: they’ve decided to stuff poor Victoria into a barrel. Any storage method would suffice. Once she’s placed inside, you can transfer her to your camp chest. From there, you can carry her around like a portable, devastating bio-organic weapon that would make Albert Wesker proud.
Several players have demonstrated the extraordinary power of Victoria’s body. One Reddit user, ‘Not_a_tasty_fish,’ provides an exceptional example. They roam the streets of Baldur’s Gate as Minthara, everyone’s favorite evil companion, watching as the entire town population falls victim to the necrotic damage caused by Victoria’s cursed remains. What’s even better? You’re not directly responsible for the damage, so no one will hold you accountable.
However, be aware that you won’t be immune to the damage yourself. Not_a_tasty_fish recommends a specific setup for this method, using a level 12 Paladin build to benefit from enhanced saving throws. They also suggest using an Elixir of Necrotic Resistance to minimize the impact of any damage that may slip through. Keep in mind that since Victoria is doing all the “work,” you won’t earn any experience points from these encounters.
Once again, barrels prove to be the ultimate monsters in Larian Studios games. Remember the explosive Baldur’s Gate 3 antics that earned the approval of studio founder Swen Vincke shortly after launch? Now, combine that with speedrun techniques that allow you to stuff your own companions into wooden containers to propel yourself to the endgame. It’s truly remarkable to see what players come up with next.
