Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player finds a \u2018broken\u2019 weapon after 500 hours Larian StudiosSometimes you luck out in your Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 run and find a busted weapon that crushes the opposition. Other times you find an actual busted weapon. This is one of those times. While adventuring in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, a player discovered a weapon they had \u201cnever seen\u201d in their 500 hours of playtime. Trust us when we say that this weapon is Broken. No literally, it\u2019s the Crooked Wand of Fireballs and the reason it\u2019s crooked is because somebody broke it. Fortunately, you won\u2019t need our guide on how to add fire to weapons for this one. It\u2019s built-in. Reddit user u\/Impressive-Time8757 found the Crooked Wand of Fireballs on the corpse of a gnome in the Underdark. We probably don\u2019t need to tell you but its uses are pretty limited. The weapon\u2019s effect reads: \u201cYou can use an action to cast a Fireball from this (broken) wand. All (very) nearby creatures must make a Dexterity Saving Throw. Targets take 8-48 Fire Damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.\u201d In layman\u2019s terms, the wand blows you up. It\u2019s a perfect example of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s humorous approach to adventuring and it all feels very D&D. \u201cIt always felt like more of a story item to explain what happened to the corpses there,\u201d explained one user in the thread. That\u2019s because you find it surrounded by a bunch of charred bodies. One player did offer an interesting strategy so it\u2019s not entirely useless. \u201cCombined with the Oil Barrels in the Selunite Outpost and some Smokepowder, you can one-shot the head of the Dueger. But the person using the wand will die. Or at least that\u2019s what happens every time I do it.\u201d So, if you\u2019re looking for a broken weapon for your next Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 run, you can\u2019t get much better than the Crooked Wand of Fireballs. If you want a powerful weapon, we\u2019d recommend the Orphic Hammer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
