Baldur's Gate 3 sources

Updated Sources

Every claim on the Baldur's Gate 3 pages points at one of these. Wiki rows are notes of in-game text, read on 2026-10-30. Diagrams are original. Japanese PS5 dates come from Spike Chunsoft and PlayStation Japan.

How the labels work

Official rows are Larian pages on baldursgate3.game or the Baldur's Gate 3 account. guide rows are bg3.wiki pages read on 2026-10-30. Those pages record tooltips, journal lines, and quest steps. When a number is only on the wiki, the page says so.

The official game site is baldursgate3.game.

Original diagrams and the Japanese edition

Example of a Guide Annex diagram used on the Baldur's Gate 3 pages.
Original Guide Annex diagram dated 2026-10-30, not a screenshot.

The SVG figures under /game/baldurs-gate-3/diagrams/ were drawn for this hub on 2026-10-30. They are not Larian screenshots, and they are not taken from the wiki's image pack.

Japanese PS5 dates were read the same day from Spike Chunsoft and from PlayStation Japan. The two pages do not print the same day.

The mid-body boards drawn the same day use that same folder: original SVG for the section they sit under, with the same caption.

SVG figures in /game/baldurs-gate-3/diagrams/ were drawn by Guide Annex on 2026-10-30. No Larian screenshot and no wiki image pack.

Honour Mode legendary actions are their own resource and a reaction, often triggered by damage once per round. The source lists conditions that can block many actions; Stagger is not listed as one of them.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Legendary_actions

bg3.wiki Romance (read 2026-10-30)

Who can be romanced, the two-origin early cap, the later choice, and Halsin's consent exception.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Romance

Karlach's engine repairs with Dammon gate the physical romance. After The Chosen of Shar the partner scene can no longer start. Leaving Act 2 before it ends the romance when Act 3 starts. Hot Date is the in-game achievement named on the romance overview.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Karlach/Romance

bg3.wiki Withers (read 2026-10-30)

Camp services: respec 100 gold, resurrection 200 gold, what a respec can and cannot change, oathbreaker block, crypt miss still sends him to camp.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Withers

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Isobel

bg3.wiki Divine Smite (reaction) (read 2026-11-01)

The post-hit reaction prompt spends a spell slot but does not cost a Reaction point. It may trigger on multiple attacks in one turn.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Divine_Smite_(reaction)

bg3.wiki Resources (read 2026-11-01)

Most reactions spend the Reaction resource; Divine Smite is specifically named among the exceptions.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Resources

bg3.wiki Classes (read 2026-11-06)

A new class adds no saving throws and not every class proficiency. A fighter dip grants no heavy armour. War Domain does, because that proficiency is on the subclass. Jack-of-all-Trades is a level in every class in one playthrough without a Withers respec.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Classes

bg3.wiki Difficulty (read 2026-11-06)

Explorer blocks new multiclass levels. Levels already taken remain if you switch to Explorer. Jack-of-all-Trades cannot be completed there. Custom Multiclassing locks at the start, defaults on, and starts off if Custom is opened from Explorer unless another difficulty is selected first.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Difficulty

bg3.wiki Spells (read 2026-11-06)

Class spells use that class's ability. Transcribed wizard scrolls use Intelligence. Item and untranscribed scroll casts use the class most recently started at level 1. A fighter or rogue dip other than Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster does not change it. Equipped items need a re-equip. Prepared count is ability modifier plus class level, minimum 1.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Spells

bg3.wiki Camp Events (read 2026-11-06)

Camp events usually start on a long rest and play in priority order. A partial rest triggers them without spending supplies. Some region changes force an event and that rest spends nothing.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Camp_Events

bg3.wiki Time-sensitive activities (read 2026-11-06)

Long-rest clocks for Waukeen's Rest, Nere, the grove raid, the celebration, the gith patrol, Florrick, and Stop the Presses. The Rite of Thorns and Orin's victim are not long-rest counts.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Time-sensitive_activities

bg3.wiki Spell slot (read 2026-10-30)

Effective spellcaster level: single-class rounding, multiclass sum rounded down once, warlock levels excluded.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Spell_slot

Full long rest costs 40 camp supplies, 80 on Tactician or Honour, up to 120 on Custom. Partial rest restores half HP and half resources, both rounded down, and does not restore short rests. Two short rests per long rest. Camp scenes and some timers advance on a long rest. Elixirs end.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Resting

bg3.wiki Illithid powers (read 2026-10-30)

The goblin-camp bridge, then a long rest, starts Embrace Your Potential with the Dream Guardian. A parasite or recruiting Minthara opens the tree. Astarion, Gale, and Minthara are willing. Karlach, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Wyll, and Minsc need persuasion. Halsin, Jaheira, and the twelve hirelings are not infected. Partial-illithid is a later body change.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Illithid_powers

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Tempestuous_Magic

bg3.wiki Heart of the Storm (read 2026-10-30)

Level 6. A level 1 or higher lightning or thunder spell deals sorcerer level / 2 of that damage to enemies within 6 m / 20 ft. The intro rounds that half down. Resistance to lightning and thunder. The tooltip says leveled spells. The wiki notes it can also fire on some cantrips.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Heart_of_the_Storm

bg3.wiki Flurry of Blows: Stagger (read 2026-11-01)

Stagger prevents spending the Reaction resource but not from taking reactions entirely. Many Honour Mode boss legendary actions are reactions that do not cost the Reaction resource.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Flurry_of_Blows:_Stagger

bg3.wiki Feats, Tavern Brawler (read 2026-10-30)

Tavern Brawler adds 1 Strength or Constitution, to a maximum of 20. Unarmed, improvised, and thrown attacks add the Strength modifier a second time to the attack roll and the damage. A Dexterity unarmed attack still adds Strength once extra, not Dexterity twice.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Feats

bg3.wiki Unarmed Strike (read 2026-10-30)

Martial Arts: Deft Strikes replaces 1 base damage with 1d4 at monk 1, 1d6 at monk 3, and 1d8 at monk 9.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Unarmed_Strike

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Gloom_Stalker

SVG figures in /game/baldurs-gate-3/diagrams/ were drawn by Guide Annex on 2026-10-30. No Larian screenshot and no wiki image pack. The densify boards added to that folder on 2026-10-30 are the same kind of original diagram.

bg3.wiki Approval (read 2026-11-06)

The sheet shows a bar and a word. The detailed view shows the number with a mouse. A controller hides the number. Consoles show the bar for the current party only. Bands run from Very Low through Exceptional. The rating stops at 100. Multiplayer keeps a separate rating per avatar.

Partner-lock rows are the companion romance pages read the same day: Astarion, Gale, Karlach, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Wyll, Halsin, and Minthara. The Romance page is the cap, the tiefling-party exception, and the Dark Urge order.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Romance

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Wyll/Romance

bg3.wiki Halsin romance (read 2026-11-06)

Act 3 only, after Lift the Shadow Curse, before the road to Baldur's Gate. Consent before the next long rest. Shadowheart, Astarion, and Karlach can agree. Lae'zel, Wyll, and Gale do not. The night includes the bear shape.
