\u2018Intimidating\u2019 Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 mechanic is actually extremely useful Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players claim you shouldn\u2019t sleep on this particularly useful and easy-to-use in-game mechanic in your next run. With so many places to explore and quests to complete, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is known to be a massive game that can span hundreds of hours \u2013 and that\u2019s only from one playthrough. Hence, with that in mind, it can be easy to miss out on a lot of things, including in-game mechanics. Since the game\u2019s launch, the community has discovered various useful mechanics that can help them out in battles. However, out of all of them, there\u2019s one particular mechanic that you \u201cshouldn\u2019t sleep on,\u201d according to players: alchemy. In a Reddit thread discussing which mechanics players have been neglecting in their playthrough, one user admitted that they\u2019ve never opened the alchemy tab. Seeing this, players responded that it is actually handy and requires little effort, making it worthwhile to learn. One of them wrote: \u201cDon\u2019t sleep on this. I was intimidated by it but there\u2019s really no work involved. Press \u2018extract all ingredients\u2019 and then \u2018filter by craftable only\u2019 and then just make what\u2019s on that list. It\u2019s super easy and some of the potions you can make are extremely useful (speed, bloodlust, invis).\u201d Another user who claimed to hate \u201ccrafting with a passion\u201d even mentioned that this mechanic is \u201cvery simple\u201d in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and only \u201cnecessary for at least one sub-questline.\u201d Meanwhile, one user commented that Hastening Grenades, Potions of Speed, Elixir of Bloodlust, Elixir of Viciousness, Battlemages Elixir (and the strength Elixirs) are \u201call insanely powerful\u201d and \u201cmuch more reliably available\u201d if you get their ingredients required on merchants and get a halfling companion to brew them as a transmutation wizard. Another user added: \u201cAll my bloodthirsty potions come from this. About halfway through the fight, Astarion and the Risky Ring just start mowing every bad guy down in one turn.\u201d If you\u2019re the type of player who loves to loot everything and steal from merchants, then it\u2019s likely you already have tons of potions in your inventory. That said, in an Honor Mode run where there\u2019s a lot of pressure if you get caught, knowing how to make your own potions can make things easier in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
