This Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 weapon can turn nat 1s into 20s Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has discovered a weapon that can turn all your natural ones into critical successes, and it\u2019s mind-blowingly easy to get. Along with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s expansive world, beloved companions, and engaging quests, there are the epic battles you and your party get to take part in. Using the best spells, armor, and weapons you can find, you and the rest of the party can expertly take down massive Beholders and anything you come across. Naturally, those items can be a little hard to find, and the most powerful are even trickier. However, one eagle-eyed player has found a weapon that undeniably trumps the likes of certain legendary items. It\u2019s got the ability to turn the tide of those trickier battles, and it\u2019s shockingly simple to find and get hold of. This Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 weapon can turn a nat 1 into a nat 20 Sharing their discovery on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, one user explained how an \u201cAct 2 weapon breaks nat 1s and makes them into nat 20s.\u201d \u201cNear the start of Act 2 you can purchase the defender greataxe from one of the merchants of the Last Light Inn\u201d the player explained. Then going on to share how \u201cthis axe has the ability to reduce its enhancement bonus by 1 on the first attack made each round in exchange for increasing the wielder\u2019s AC until the start of their next turn. So a 14 attack roll becomes a 13 and 19 AC becomes 20 AC.\u201d The weapon itself has a traditional bonus and a traditional negative along with it. \u201cBut what happens if you roll a 1 and reduce it? On critical successes and failures, no modifiers are added and the flat number is treated as an auto-success or auto-fail. And since there\u2019s no zero on a d20, in Civ 1 Ghandi fashion, the counter rolls over to 20 and boom! Instant fail to instant success.\u201d Meaning if you critically fail, then it\u2019ll treat it like a natural 20. Such a weapon design feels fantastically broken and gives a new reason to want a natural one in combat. However, what happens if you\u2019re lucky enough to roll a natural 20? One commenter asked this question and the user responded: \u201cYou still crit like normal even if you reduce it to 19.\u201d You\u2019ll be able to grab the Rare Defender Greataxe from Quartermaster Talli at the Last Light Inn just at the beginning of Act 2, so be sure to keep an eye out. Naturally, this could be a bug or an intentional idea from Larian. In the same way, this weapon could not work like this for all players, as some are claiming they didn\u2019t benefit from this, while others are claiming it works. Either way, for the ease of just purchasing the weapon, it\u2019s always worth a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
