Act 1 Unique and Missable items - Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3)
Here is a Checklist for Act 1 missable or unique items in Baldur's Gate 3. This should help you follow and collect all the most powerful items to make the most out of your playthrough.
How does it work?
- No need for any registering or logins, with the current functionalities
- The checklist persists on the same browser and doesn't disappear if you leave the page.
- Hovering on an item will give additional information (I am still working on including all of it from game files)
- You can click on the items, and some of them explain how to obtain them in greater detail.
- Items highlighted with gold color, are important for many builds, and I recommend picking them up even if you are not making a specific build. They can become useful if you will do a respec.
