Baldur’s Gate 3 Best Loot Locations in Act 1, 2 And 3

Progressing through the storyline of the Baldur's Gate 3 requires players to loot items, weapons, and gear.

Baldur’s Gate 3 offers you a massive loot pool to benefit from as you pave your way through the main campaigns, side quests, and regional explorations. Throughout your exploration, you will often encounter different types of items, weapons, gears, scrolls, etc. Some of these items can be grabbed incredibly early to give your teammates massive power spikes in BG3.

However, your challenges will also increase as the story progresses from the first Act towards the second and the third. To counter them, you must rely on the Best Loot items you can use in Baldur’ Gate 3.

You may have often skipped out, looking into places where you could have found rare loot items. Thankfully, in Bg3, you will not come across randomized loot as each loot you acquire is hand-placed. Below we have given the best Baldur’s Gate 3 loot locations.

All loot locations in BG3 Act 1

Starting from the first Act, you will find that this act will involve a lot of places for you to discover early on and get the Baldur’s Gate 3 Best Loot Items as well. Furthermore, you will move throughout all 24 locations and can spend time completing those associated quests.

Remember that getting the best loot items will benefit your character and boost your companions‘ stats early on. With that in mind, we will jump onto the locations for the Best Loot in BG3.

These useful items range from Boots of Speed to the Corvid Token. While you can use the Boots of Speed to enhance your speed while dashing, you will get a chance to turn into a Dire Raven without the need to be a Druid.

Are there Legendaries in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Apart from the standard items you acquire in Bg3, you will come across some of the best legendary items. Throughout Act till Act 3, you will come across a total of three Legendary items. These items include the likes of The Blood of Lathander, Nyrulna, Markoheshkir, and Viconia’s Walking Fortress. Note that if an item is in red in Baldur’s Gate 3, it means that it is stolen.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Loot Mod

If you are tired of waiting to fill your inventory, then you can simply use a mod to fix that problem. You can use the Better Loot mod to increase the number of loots you have in your possession. But before you do, make sure that you have the Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Fixer and BG3ModManager downloaded on your system. Do note that using mods in Bg3 will cancel each achievement you gain after completing your missions.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Loot Bug Fix

In some instances when you acquire a loot box or open a loot chest, you may not be able to add the entirety of their contents to your inventory by selecting the loot all option. Furthermore, this bug also causes not all items to show up within the container or box. This loot glitch in BG3 manifests primarily during co-op play and may cause you to miss out on valuable items.

To fix this bug, all you need to do is manipulate the chest or box in question, you can do this by moving one loot item from one box to another which will then reveal the full contents of the box. Then you can individually drag and drop each item into your inventory to make sure you loot every item. While this may seem tedious this is the only fix at the moment
