There's a lot of beautiful and valuable gear in Baldur's Gate 3 that players can use to adorn their characters, and that's how every RPG should be. The rings and jewelry don't always appear as a unique trinket during adventures or when the character is fighting or traveling, but they do appear during the cutscenes.
The wide variety of crates, chests, safes, dead enemies, and ornate lockboxes of Baldur's Gate 3 are filled with riches, including a wide variety of amulets. These accessories have passive abilities, while others give a character skills and abilities their class wouldn't normally have. There are a few notable ones from Act 1 that players should seek out before moving on to the rest of the story.
Updated on March 25, 2024, by Kristy Ambrose: Baldur's Gate 3 is still on a roll in 2024, with several more wins at the DICE Awards and the GLAAD Awards, along with a whole new pile of nominations from BAFTA, the British Academy Film Awards. This tempers some of the disappointing news that no sequels or DLCs will be forthcoming from Larian Studios, but players are still discovering all of the hidden stories, secrets, and sweet loot that are left throughout the game. Some of that cool stuff includes a few more useful and valuable Baldur's Gate 3 amulets.
Baldur's Gate 3: Best Level 2 Spells, Ranked
These are the best level 2 spells that players can obtain in Baldur's Gate 3, ranked from worst to best.
13 Beastmaster's Chain
Tame Any Savage Beast
- Location: The Worg Pens, Shattered Sanctum
If anyone ever wondered how the Goiblins controlled the wild animals that were kept in the worg pens, it was probably by using this amulet. The Beastmaster's chain is in a chest near the worg pens, and if Tav asks the nearby Goblins they'll mention there's something important in it.
Equipping the Beastmaster's Chain grants the wearer the ability to cast the spell Animal Friendship, which keeps an animal from attacking them. It normally lasts for ten turns but can be cut short if the beast takes any damage, and won't work at all if the animal has an Intelligence higher than 3.
12 Moondrop Pendant
Avoid Attacks of Opportunity
- Location: Owlbear Cave, east of the Blighted Village
The Owlbear Cave doesn't just contain the resident monster and her baby but an ancient shrine to the goddess Selune. There's a trick to opening the small, enchanted chest resting in a pool of sunlight in front of a ruined statue.
Baldur's Gate 3: Every Character That Can Join Your Camp
Players have the opportunity to recruit several characters to their camp in Baldur's Gate 3.
If the protagonist says a certain prayer to the moon goddess, Shadowheart won't like it but it breaks the spell locking the chest, and this is where you can find the Moondrop Pendant. It's a handy thing to have early in the game because it makes the wearer immune to Attacks of Opportunity.
11 The Amulet Of Lost Voices
Speak With Dead Is A Useful Spell
- Location: Dank Crypt, near the Overgrown Ruins Waypoint
An amulet of Rare quality that a character will use more often than any other damage or defensive spell, the Amulet of Lost Voices gives the wearer the ability to cast Speak with Dead. This useful spell is the key to getting vital information about certain quests and obscure locations, and any class can cast it when wearing this amulet.
The amulet can be found in a chest in the Dank Crypt, one of the first places that the player can visit next to the wreckage of the Illithid ship. Obtaining it also inspires anyone in the party who happens to be an Acolyte with The Final Scribe's Boon.
10 Absolute's Talisman
An Extra Healing Ability
- Location: True Soul Gut, Shattered Sanctum
After defeating True Soul Gut in the Shattered Sanctum, the player can loot the Absolute's Talisman from her corpse. It's not the most fancy-looking bauble, but it gives the wearer some life-saving abilities.
Baldur's Gate 3: The Best Scrolls
Scrolls in Baldur's Gate 3 can prove invaluable in tough situations, especially when it comes to these top-tier spells.
The necklace grants the passive benefit of giving the wearer an Advantage on death saving throws. It also gives them the power to cast Aid once per day, a spell that gives the target 5 extra hit points.
9 Broodmother's Revenge
A Poisonous Retort
- Location: Looted or pickpocketed from Kagha in the Druid's Grove
This handy necklace belongs to Kagha, the Druid that Halsin left in charge of the Grove, and there are a few different ways to wrest it from her grasp. The easiest and least violent way, provided you have a decent Dexterity score and Sleight of Hand ability, is to pickpocket it. Those with more violent inclinations have the option of killing her and looting it from her corpse.
The Broodmother's Revenge gives its wearer a handy passive defensive ability that's triggered by healing spells and abilities. When the wearer is healed, their weapon becomes coated in poison and deals an extra 1d4 damage. An appropriate amulet for a Druid who owns a venomous pet snake.
8 The Spectator Eyes
Kill A Monster And Reap The Magical Rewards
- Location: Spectator Monster, Underdark
An amulet with one spell is great already, but one that has two is even better. The Spectator Eyes is an amulet that players can find near the end of Act 1 when they're exploring the Underdark, provided they kill a Spectator they meet on the way.
This Very Rare quality amulet gives the wearer the ability to cast Ray of Fear and Wounding Ray, two level 3 spells from the School of Necromancy. Each spell can be used as an Ability once per day.
7 Amulet of Selune's Chosen
A Healing Spell For Any Class Or Character
- Location: A chest behind the throne in the Shattered Sanctum
Exploring the Shattered Sanctum, which is found beneath the Goblin Camp in Act 1, reveals some valuable rewards. One of the treasures that players can find here is the Amulet of Selune's chosen, hidden away in a chest located past the throne room.
Baldur's Gate 3: Best Fire Spells, Ranked
Spells that do fire damage in Baldur's Gate 3 come in all shapes and sizes, and these are the best out of all of them.
This amulet allows the wearer to cast Selune's Dream, a healing spell that restores 1D8 hit points, but there's a catch. Players should be careful when and who this spell is cast upon, as it also has a chance to put the target to sleep.
6 Komira's Locket
A Valuable Gift From An Early Quest
- Location: Rewarded by Komira for saving Arabella in the Druid Grove.
If the player successfully saves Arabella from the wrath of the Arch Druid, the young tiefling's mother will hand over her locket as a reward. It appears to have been a gift from her husband, according to the engraving on the back.
The amulet gives the wearer the power to cast the spell Dancing Lights once per day. That doesn't seem like much, but for those who are venturing through the Underdark, it can save the party from succumbing to the power of the Darkness, which damages characters every turn unless they're within range of a light source.
5 Silver Pendant
A Minor But Useful Buff
- Location: Looted from a Skeleton near the Druid Grove
It's a simple necklace of Uncommon quality that players find if they loot a skeleton sitting near a cliff in Druid Grove. This amulet is one of the reasons why, when playing an RPG, it's important to explore everywhere and loot everything.
Baldur's Gate 3: 10 Best Potions To Make With Alchemy
Baldur's Gate 3 lets players craft potions using the Alchemy tab. These are the concoctions that will serve players best.
The wearer of this necklace can use the Guidance spell as a cantrip. It's not exactly something to keep forever, but early in the game, when characters might need some help with Ability checks, it's a nice item to get started.
4 The Amulet of Misty Step
Mobility On And Off The Battlefield
- Location: Purchased from a vendor in the Myconid Colony
It used to drop from Minthara in the Shattered Sanctum, but after Baldur's Gate 3 went through Patch 9, the Amulet of Misty Step can be found in the Myconid Colony. The friendly Illithid Omeluum sells it among his wares, and it's worth the gold.
Misty Step is one of the most useful spells throughout the game and is just as handy in or out of combat. Use it to access awkward places like balconies or rooftops, remove a character from an awkward situation, get them within melee range of a target, or allow them to bypass a dangerous obstacle by teleporting over it.
3 Amulet of Silvanus
Pro-Tip For Those Romancing Astarion
- Location: Under a rock on the beach, by a large but friendly bear, on the lower level of the Druid Grove.
A lot of players don't even discover that you can move some large rocks and boulders depending on a character's strength level, at least at this point in the game, which is why hardly anyone finds this useful amulet. It gives the wearer the ability to cast Lesser Restoration, a level two spell that cures several pesky issues including Blindness, Disease, Poison, Paralysis, or the Bloodless condition.
It's a nice addition for any class, even one that doesn't heal, and it's one of the few ways to ensure the Bloodless condition, which gives a character a -1 to their rolls. This is that annoying hangover you get after your vampire boyfriend climbs into that oversized bedroll for a late-night snack.
2 Tarnished Charm
The Awesome Power Of A Hag
- Location: Drops from Ethel the Hag in the Riverside Tea House, Sunlit Wetlands
This ordinary-looking, grotty old amulet still cackles in honor of its original owner, Aunt Ethel the Hag. After she's defeated, this necklace can be looted from her body. It only has one use, but it's one of the best and most important things that any RPG player can have.
Baldur's Gate 3: Best Level 1 Spells, Ranked
First-level spells in Baldur's Gate 3 may not be as powerful as higher-level spells, but that doesn't mean that they aren't useful.
The amulet grants the wearer the power of Fey Life, which gives them a better chance to succeed in a death-saving throw. The wilderness of Faerun can be dangerous, and this amulet can save a character's life.
1 Amulet Of Branding
Find An Enemy's Weakness
- Location: The Quartermaster in the Githyanki Creche, The Mountain Pass
The Amulet of Branding is found in the Githyanki Creche and drops from the body of the Quartermaster. It gives the wearer an ability called Brand the Weak, a unique talent that marks the target's weak points and makes killing them more efficient and, if necessary, not as messy.
Brand the Weak can reveal vulnerable points for both magical and physical damage, like a decreased resistance to cold or bludgeoning, and gives allies a better chance to hit those points by making them Vulnerable, which means they're less resistant to all kinds of physical damage. It's one of those simple but effective abilities that can give any party the needed edge in a fight.
