Can Drunk Condition Be Useful in Baldur’s Gate 3?
While getting Drunk inBaldur’s Gate 3can be a pain due to the disadvantage acquired from it, in some scenarios, it can actually be a bit useful.
To achieve this positive outcome of Drunkenness, the player must have in their positions one of these items:
• Punch Drunk Bastard.“You see… hic the thing… the really, really important thing hic… about this item is belches copiously… oh sod it, it’s a club. Enjoy.”
This rare Great club grants the player Tippler’s Rage while drunk. This allows the player to have an advantage on Attack rolls as well as the ability to dish out a 1d4 thunder damage with each attack.
• Amulet of the Drunkard.“Donning this necklace causes the room to sway and tip - or maybe it was already swaying? Whatever, time for another pint.”
This is a rare amulet that bestows the player with Booze Remedy when they’re drunk. This will heal the player 2d4 per turn while drunk. It also increases the duration of the Drunkness by 5 turns.
• Drunken Cloth.“Long ago, Kushigo was a warrior. Bedecked in enormous, stag-antlered plate, his arrival spelled doom for the enemy. This flimsy cloth speaks nothing to that legacy.”
Drunken Cloth is a rare outfit that will allow the player to make use of Snowy Liver while they’re drunk. Snowy Liver will grant the player an advantage on constitution saving throws. The player will also, at the start of their turn, gain extra temporary Hit Points based on their constitution modifier.
With these, the player will be able to make the best out of their drunken situation.
Receiving An Achievement While Drunk
While playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and being drunk, the player has the possibility of receiving the Punch Drunk achievement. To get this, the player must have at least one drunk member on their team while fighting. The player then needs to take down 20 enemies while this status effect is affecting one of the characters.
This achievement should relatively be easy for anyone to unlock, since the other team members can be sober and fight at their full power.
A Hangover from Alcohol in Baldur’s Gate 3?
An interesting thing that might happen inBaldur’s Gate 3is the player’s party getting the Hangover status effect from using only alcohol as camp supplies when going for a long rest. This condition will last the player 10 turns because it disappears on its own.
When the player is afflicted with it, they have the same disadvantage as the Drunk status effect, meaning a disadvantage on Dexterity, as well as Charisma checks.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available to play on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5.
