Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most common item can accidentally kill the party YouTube\/Naughty GamingBe careful when using torches in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as they can accidentally annihilate the party if you use one in the wrong area. In Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and D&D 5e, some races have Darkvision, which allows them to see through all non-magical darkness. Everyone else requires a light source, especially if you\u2019re going to be exploring dungeons or entering the dangerous Underdark. Luckily, the game provides plenty of options for light. One of the most common items in containers and on enemy corpses are torches. These have their own special inventory slot, making it easy to switch between them and your weapons with a single button press. Even if you don\u2019t find a torch, several magical Cantrips in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 provide light. You\u2019ll need them, as users on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit are talking about how using a torch led to their party\u2019s destruction. \u201cAlmost lost me my honour run and locked me out of the Titanstring,\u201d the OP wrote, \u201cEntered the Zhentarim hideout with my shillelagh torch and blew it up.\u201d This anecdote refers to the Zhentarim base in Act I, which is covered in flammable oil. The Zhentarim is an evil organization so wicked that it doesn\u2019t follow fire safety precautions, as walking around with a torch can nuke the base. This also locks you out of the Titanstring bow, with a quest reward in the area. \u201cI was wondering why when I loaded into my honor run down there everything instantly exploded,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cI saw the title and thought, \u2018must be torch.\u2019 I lost Titanstring and blew up my honor mode team with only Laezel surviving with 8 hp.\u201d The Everburn Blade from the tutorial also has this trait. One user said, \u201cI had the same problem when I had the Everburn blade equipped. Walked in casually and went through all the usual steps and dialogue and as I entered the main area\u2026. Let\u2019s just say my time in the base was super short.\u201d The torch has some useful traits in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, especially if you need to ignite an explosive and have nothing else to hand. That said, you need to be extremely careful about keeping one active and should probably have a spellcaster learn the Light Cantrip instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
