Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s strongest cantrip can only be used once Larian StudiosIn both Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 cantrips are known for being relatively weak spells that players can use as often as they want, making them incredibly valuable for spellcasting characters. However, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have noticed one cantrip that breaks all of these rules. As a screenshot shared to the BaldursGate3 subreddit shows, Gale\u2019s Netherese Orb Blast is classified as a cantrip, leading the poster to joke, \u201cThis is a cantrip so I can use it as much as I want, right?\u201d Of course, this isn\u2019t really a cantrip like Eldritch Blast or Mage Hand. The Blast is an action exclusive to Gale, whose storyline revolves around his history with the goddess Mystra and the Netherese Orb lodged in his chest. Once you unlock the ability to use the Orb in Act 2, you can detonate it whenever you want, though doing so obviously kills Gale and anyone else nearby. This means most players either don\u2019t use it or save it for the final battle, sometimes to ensure an Honor Mode victory. This clearly sets it apart from actual cantrips, whose usefulness largely stems from being able to cast them over and over. Presumably, Netherese Orb Blast being classified as a cantrip is a failsafe to ensure players can detonate their Gale even if he has no remaining spell slots or has been respec\u2019d into a non-magic class. Still, that hasn\u2019t stopped Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players from joking about the Blast being a cantrip that, as one player said, you can cast \u201cas much as you want for the rest of your life.\u201d \u201cJumping from a plane without a parachute is also a cantrip,\u201d said another. Other commenters joked that you can cast the \u201ccantrip\u201d as much as you want, though you\u2019ll need to start a new game or reload an old save.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
