There is an astounding number of weapons inBaldur’s Gate 3, allowing players to fully customize their builds and take on the role-playing adventure in a way that they find fun. However, some weapons are easier to acquire than others, andthe best weaponsare often hard to find or require players to complete specific tasks.
The following are the hardest weapons to get inBaldur’s Gate 3, but more often than not, players will be rewarded for the extra mile they go to get their hands on them, thanks to the unique and overpowered effects they possess.
1d8 Bludgeoning
TheStaff Of Arcane Blessingis one ofthe best Quarterstaves inBG3and is particularly strong in the early and mid-game thanks to the bonus it gives to Spell Attack Rolls, helping more spells hit. However, players must go on quite an adventure and find a hidden level of the Arcane Tower that not everyone discovers.
The Arcane Tower is a location in the Underdark of Act 1, but to find the basement where this staff is located, players have a few options, none of which are obvious at first. The main way is by acquiring the Guiding Light ring from Bernard and wearing it on the teleporter pad to reveal a secret button.

2d4 Slashing
BOOOAL’s Blessing:Advantage on Attack rolls against Bleeding creatures, as long as there are Kuo-toa to worship BOOOAL.
One of theareas that players are most likely to have missed in Act 1 ofBG3, is the Festering Cove in the Underdark. Here, players will find weird fish-like creatures called the Kuo-toa who worship a Redcap named BOOOAL.
Even if players are able to find this remote location, that does not guarantee that they will be able to get their hands onSickle Of Boooal. Furthermore, to get the most out of this weapon, players will also want to ensure the Kuo-toa are still alive and worshiping BOOOAL when they leave. The best way to achieve this is to convince BOOOAL to hand over the weapon and be his chosen. A feat that is easier said than done.
1d8 + 3 Piercing + 1d6 Thunder
The TridentNyrulnais one ofthe best two-handed weapons inBaldur’s Gate 3, with great damage and a plethora of effects and actions. However, very few players will have found this on their own as they must manage to win the seemingly unwinnable jackpot from Akabi at the Circus in Rivington at the start of Act 3.
The main way to win the jackpot is to pickpocket Akabi’s Djinni’s Ring, although it can also be purchased for a hefty sum. With this ring, players will be able to win the rigged game, and then be transported to a jungle whereNyrulnawaits inside a chest. However, the chest is locked and players must pass a DC 20 lockpicking check.
1d8 + 3 Bludgeoning
One of the hardest weapons to find inBaldur’s Gate 3is the staff known asMarkoheshkirwhich is located in Ramazith’s Tower duringAct 3 of the game. First of all, players must jump to the lower levels of the tower from a balcony, preferably avoiding fall damage. Then they must use thealways useful Level 2 spell, See Invisibility to notice a lever.
Even after all this, players must still find a way to remove the shield that protectsMarkoheshkir, which more often than not involves passing a DC20 check. Going to all this trouble will be worth it for spellcasters though, as they can use any spell they want, at no cost once per Long Rest.
2d6 + 3 Slashing
Unless players have a Githyanki character, then there is little doubt thatBalduran’s Giantslayeristhe best Greatsword inBG3. However, given its strength, it is also extremely difficult to acquire, and most players will have missed it in their playthroughs.
To get theBalduran’s Giantslayer, players must defeat a legendary dragon, Ansur, but as difficult as that is even just finding The Dragon’s Sanctum is hard. To get here, players must pass through the Wyrmway which is a hidden location inside Wyrm’s Rock Prison. In the western block of the prison, players must use Lightning damage on two dragon head torches, to unlock a secret entrance to the passageway. Inside, many trials await, making this arguably thehardest weapon to get inBaldur’s Gate 3.
