In this guide we'll be playing the role of a local necromancer and exploit the dead - Connor Vinderblad found in Act 1 near Map icon bg3Riverside Teahouse will play a crucial part. Thanks to exploiting a wand called Bitter Divorce icon bg3Bitter Divorce we can revive almost ANY creature in the game thanks to Connor's corpse which can allow for some very interesting stuff.

In the guide in videos you may find some items from Act 3. There's an easy way to skip past Act 2 and go to Act 3 then easily come back to previous acts which will also be covered in future posts :)

Necessary stuff

  • Corpse of Connor 
  • Bitter Divorce icon bg3Bitter Divorce (Map icon bg3Bitter Divorce )
  • Any corpse of an enemy, neutral or an ally
  • High enough strength to pick-up Connor's corpse after each exploit

Step by step instruction

  1. Kill or skip past the Hag fight to retrieve Bitter Divorce icon bg3Bitter Divorce
  2. For easier exploit - kill Mayrina
  3. Retrieve Connor's corpse (X: -70, Y: 225)
  4. Enjoy the Connormancy

If we use the wand when Mayrina is present it transforms to Second Marriage icon bg3Second Marriage. To avoid it either kill her as mentioned or skip past her to Connor's casket. Item still can resurrect Connor, but he is not gained as a summon which is very important.

What does it do ?

Thanks to bugginess of Bitter Divorce icon bg3Bitter Divorce, Connor can be revived with a nearby creature we point at. This can allow to pre-buff before combat and exploit various mechanics with stuff like:

  • Psionic Overload icon bg3Psionic Overload 
  • Stack Lightning Charges icon bg3Lightning Charges thanks to various items eg. The Spellsparkler icon bg3The Spellsparkler
  • Stack or activate conditions from various items like Rhapsody icon bg3Rhapsody, Killer's Sweetheart icon bg3Killer's Sweetheart etc.
  • Achieve an easy XP farm in Act 2.
  • Use dead enemies as companions through Control Undead icon bg3Control Undead - even Bosses.
  • Revive npcs that were killed by accident

XP farm

To achieve the XP farm you'll need to get the Hollow Armour found in Map icon bg3House of Healing Morgue in Act 2 and obviously our beloved Connor with Bitter Divorce icon bg3Bitter Divorce. This special Animated Armour spawns a Shadow enemy which gives 75 XP every time it's killed and you can do this trick infinitely. Multiple Shadows can by spawned through some damage riding effects - the easiest way to do it is to use Arrow of Fire icon bg3Arrow of Fire.

Conclusions and credits

Connor and Bitter Divorce icon bg3Bitter Divorce are a really game breaking pair which can bring you a lot of benefits if you exploit it enough. The potential of the revives is limited to your imagination but even the simplest stacking of buffs before combat is enough to make this exploit worth using. For any questions of what will work, what won't work and any issues I heavily urge to ask in the comments.

Very big thanks to Remus 71 and tbj_Quag for helping with finding some interactions.
