TheUnseen Menaceis a rarepike inBaldur’s Gate 3. The weapon can be purchased from avendor in the Githyanki Crèche, as early as in Act 1 of the game. Players should consider buying this weapon because of its unique invisibility feature that providesadvantage on attack rolls.
Since the weapon can be acquired early in the game, it’s recommended that players do not miss out on purchasing it. The following guide provides a rundown on what makes the Unseen Menace a special weapon and how to purchase it.
Finding The Githyanki Crèche
To begin with, players should first reach the Githyanki Crèche, which is located in thenorthwestern region of Wilderness, on the Act 1 map.It’s recommended to reach the Githyanki Crèche along with Lae’zel, as failing to do so causes the Githyanki companion to leave the party, unless she’s already dead.
Players trying to find the Crèche shouldtravel northwest of Emerald Groveand reach theMountain Pass,where a group ofGithyanki warriorsconfront the player. Depending on how players converse with the Githyanki warriors, they may either walk away peacefully, or end up in a difficult battle. Either way, players should now have access to theroad leading to the Githyanki Crèche.Players needing additional help in reaching the Githyanki Crèche should find ourdedicated guideon this subject helpful.
Purchase The Unseen Manace
Once players gain access to the Githyanki Crèche, they must head to a room southeast of the Crèche andfind a vendor named A’jak’nir Jeera. Since the Unseen Menace isn’t an epic or legendary weapon, players tend to overlook it the first time. Additionally, thepike’s rare “Invisible” skill isn’t widely available on other weapons, which may also cause players to underestimate the armament.
