There are a ton of powerful weapons you can find as you progress your playthrough in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, however, it\u2019s hard to look past the Blood of Lathander. Despite you being able to get this legendary weapon in Act 1, it can be extremely useful all the way to Act 3. The Blood of Lathander is a legendary mace that allows you to continuously shed light, making it easier to traverse the gloomy Shadow Cursed lands in Act 2. It\u2019s also a great alternative before you can get the Pixie\u2019s blessing from the Moonlantern or Isobel\u2019s blessing to get through areas where the curse is more intense. If that\u2019s not enough, the mace also gives you access to a level 6 Sunbeam spell and allows you to blind and deal a ton of damage to nearby undead creatures. However, you\u2019ll need to put some effort into obtaining it in a secret room within Creche Y\u2019llek. Speaking of the undead, this makes it the perfect choice if you\u2019re looking to progress through Astarion\u2019s companion quest in Act 3, where you\u2019ll have to confront his vampire spawn siblings and go face-to-face with Cazador. \u201cI was so confused why, when I was wandering around a certain Flophouse, there were some people taking damage and then healing through walls\/floors. Then I found them and realized they were Vampire Spawn taking Radiant Damage,\u201d wrote one player in a Reddit thread. In Flaygo\u2019s Flophouse, you\u2019re supposed to meet Dalyria and Pale Petras on the second floor. But if you have the Blood of Lathander equipped in your party, they\u2019ll likely take damage and disappear before you reach them. On the other hand, if you decide to look for the other Vampire Spawns in the sewers, the light from Blood of Lathander may cause them to aggro you. This does make it easier to spot them, though you may end up killing them on the spot. There is, however, an option to toggle the effect of Blood of Lathander if you\u2019d rather talk to them. Finally, when it comes to beating Cazador, you can use the weapon\u2019s Sunbeam spell to help melt him before things get out of hand. This not only blinds him but using the spell is basically equivalent to purging him with the power of the sun. To make things easier, make sure you also get his secret bed buff to get that sweet extra HP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 weapon makes Astarion\u2019s companion quest much easier Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 legendary mace isn\u2019t just useful for fighting the undead in Act 2, you\u2019ll likely carry this one all the way to Act 3 as well.
