1. Amulet of Greater Health
Similar to obtaining any of the best BG3 amulets, getting the Amulet of Greater Health is challenging as it’s hidden in the House of Hope archives, protected by traps and guards. Neutralizing the Archivist is a common tactic to avoid the guards and claim the amulet due to its significant benefits.
2. Khalid’s Gift
Khalid’s Gift is a rare amulet in Baldur’s Gate 3, specifically valuable for Jaheira’s build. When she wears it, the amulet grants her immunity to curses and boosts her wisdom by one point, up to a maximum of 21.
To obtain Khalid’s Gift, players should visit Jaheira’s Sanctuary in Act 3. There, they’ll discover a desk near the entrance with a Pin Slot puzzle. To solve it, they need the Harp Pin, which can be obtained from one of Jaheira’s children, Tate. With the Harp Pin, they can unlock the hidden area containing Khalid’s Gift.
3. Scarab of Protection
It offers the following two main benefits:
- Spell Protection: It grants the wearer an advantage against magic spells, making them more resistant to their effects.
- Necromantic Evasion: This unique ability helps the wearer evade necromancy spells and magic used by undead enemies.
4. Amulet of The Devout
To obtain the Amulet of the Devout, players must journey to the Stormshore Tabernacle in the eastern part of BG3 and find it in a chest within the sanctified basement.
5. The Spectator Eyes
<img class=”size-full wp-image-281894″ src=”https://exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/5.The-Spectator-Eyes.jpeg” alt=””
The Spectator Eyes is a rare amulet in Baldur’s Gate 3, highly valued by magic users. It grants access to two Level 3 Necromancy Spells: “Ray of Fear” and “Wounding Ray,” providing a strategic advantage by freeing up spell slots.
To find Spectator Eyes, players must explore into the Underdark, west of the Selunite Temple, where they’ll encounter a petrified Drow assembly. The amulet’s guardian, The Spectator, a formidable foe, awaits at coordinates (X:123 Y:-248). Those who defeat it will obtain The Spectator Eyes.
6. Unflinching Protector Amulet
The Unflinching Protector in BG3 easily comes in the list of the best amulets because it is a rare and unique item designed for defense. It features the “Unflinching Protection” enchantment, allowing the wearer to intercept attacks targeting nearby allies. This protective ability can be used once before requiring a short rest to recharge.
7. Fey Semblance Amulet
To obtain Fey Semblance Amulet, players must explore the Lower City of Baldur’s Gate in Act 3, where they can also progress through quests like “Save Vanra” and “Avenge the Hag Survivors.” These quests involve confronting Auntie Ethel and interacting with Hag Survivors, ultimately leading to the acquisition of the Fey Semblance Amulet.
8. Lofty Sorcerer’s Amulet
The Lofty Sorcerer’s Amulet in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a rare accessory that enhances a sorcerer’s magical abilities. Its enchantment, “Lofty Sorcery,” increases the wearer’s Sorcery Points by 1. This may not seem like a huge deal but trust me, If you use a Sorcerer like Balthazar (My Tav), do not skip this amulet.
9. Tressym Collar
The Tressym Collar in Baldur’s Gate 3 is named after the Tressym creatures, known for their magical resistance and playful nature. This collar allows the wearer to cast the Level 5 Transmutation Spell, Telekinesis, which lets them move objects or creatures with their mind, offering versatility in tough situations.
10. Amulet of Windrider
To obtain Amulet of Windrider, players must complete the quest “Save Vanra (Help the Hag Survivors)” in the Lower City, which involves dealing with a hag using Hag’s Bane and interacting with Vanra and her mother.
11. Strange Tendril Amulet
The Strange Tendril Amulet is another of the best amulets in BG3 that allows the wearer to cast the Level 4 Conjuration spell, Evard’s Black Tentacles.
To obtain Strange Tendril Amulet, players must visit the House of Healing, where a hidden door near the backpack area can be revealed by pressing a button on its right side. Inside this secret area, a wooden chest holds the amulet along with other valuable items.
12. Necklace of Elemental Augmentation
You can find the Necklace of Elemental Augmentation in Act 2 in the Githyanki Creche’s room with the astral portal and again in Act 3 near the Open Hand Monastery at a shipwreck. Additionally, it amplifies damage from elemental effects in some of the best magical items like the Phalar Aluve.
13. The Amulet of Lost Voices
The Amulet of Lost Voices lets you speak with the dead and is probably the reason why it is easily the best amulet in BG3 for me. The amulet offers a Level 3 Necromancy Spell, even if you’re not a Bard, Cleric, or Wizard.
To get Amulet of Lost Voices, head to the Dank Crypt near the Overgrown Ruins. You can use Thieves’ Tools to unlock a hatch for a shortcut or take a confrontational approach, dealing with bandits and using barrels to your advantage. Inside the crypt, battle Entombed Acolytes and Warriors reach a chest that holds the Amulet of Lost Voices.
14. Sentient Amulet
You can find the Sentient Amulet in the Grymforge, specifically in the Adamantine Forge Items area. The amulet is in an Adamantine Chest at coordinates -624, 224, which is a bit challenging to reach. The chest is locked, and you can pick the lock if you have a Rogue with high Dexterity. Alternatively, you can find a key on a nearby skeleton to open it.
15. Amulet of Restoration
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Amulet of Restoration enhances healing abilities. It lets you cast two spells: Healing Word (Level 1) and Mass Healing Word (Level 3). These spells are crucial for supporting your party in battles.
You can buy the Amulet of Restoration from Derryth Bonecloak, a merchant in the Myconid colony in the Underdark. Due to some unforeseen explosion that may have been caused by a certain wizard tripping on some mushrooms, Derryth has crossed into the afterlife in my playthrough.
16. Surgeon’s Subjugation Amulet
To get the Surgeon’s Subjugation Amulet in Baldur’s Gate 3, go to the House of Healing in the second act and defeat Malus Thorm, the surgeon who wears it. You can then loot the Surgeon’s Subjugation Amulet from him
17. Beastmaster’s Chain
I personally haven’t found much use for it because I already have good animal handling on one of my companions.
18. Komira’s Locket
<img class=”size-full wp-image-281899″ src=”https://exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/18.Komiras-Locket.jpeg” alt=””
Komira’s Locket in Baldur’s Gate 3 allows you to create Dancing Lights, illuminating a 12m area.
To get it, go to Druid Grove and complete the Save Arabella quest. As a reward for saving her, you’ll receive this enchanted amulet.
19. Shar’s Temptation
To get it, search for a crate with a note in the House of Healing. It’s useful for diplomatic situations or persuasion.
20. Pearl of Power Amulet
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Pearl of Power amulet enhances your magic abilities with the Pearlescent Restoration class action. To get it, visit Omeluum, a merchant in the Underdark’s Myconid camp. It’s a valuable asset for adventurers.
My Personal Favorite In-Game Amulet
In the many moons I’ve spent traveling through the Swords Coast, I have come across many different key amulets that have proved themselves crucial in some of the situations I got myself into later on.
My favorite one has to be the Lofty Sorcerer’s Stone, which adds a bonus spell slot. It helps so much in some areas where you don’t feel like resting after every fight. The amulet guarantees a little bit of safety there.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, acquiring the best amulets is crucial for players. These items are more than just symbols of status; they are essential tools for enhancing your power and survival in BG3. Your arsenal won’t be complete without these magical amulets.
