The Spidersilk armor is an uncommon light armor that offers a +1 bonus to Stealth and the advantage of Constitution Saving Throws Checks. It belongs in tier 12AC and is fantastic armor for stealth.

2. Shadow Of Menzoberranzan

The Shadow of Menzoberranzan is another uncommon light armor. It is a helmet that offers the Shrouded in Shadow action, which allows you to become invisible, therefore, being ideal for stealth. The spell will break if you were to attack, take damage, cast a spell, or perform another action, so keep that in mind.

What’s great is that players can obtain this helmet very early in the game, in Act 1. The Shadow of Menzoberranzan is found in the Underdark during the Protect the Myconid Circle quest. In order to start the quest, players would need to talk to the Sovereign Spaw.

3. Blood Of Lathander

It is a rare helmet and can be considered one of BG3 BEST magic items for me due to it offering the Scorching Ray spell. It is a level 2 spell from Evocation spell that is used to deal damage to your enemies. The spell hurls three rays at your enemies; each ray deals 2-12 fire damage, which is a fantastic ability to have in certain scenarios.

Selune’s Spear of Night can be obtained during the “Find The Nightsong” quest. After sparing Nightsong, players would need to assault the Moonrise Towers and talk to Nightsong.

Best Rings And Amulets In Baldur’s Gate 3

Allow me to list all the best rings and amulets in Baldur’s Gate 3 that I have found so far and consider BG3 best magic items. These accessories are used to provide specific buffs and bonuses to the players.

1. The Spectators Eyes

The Spectators Eyes is a very rare amulet that offers the Ray of Fear spell and the Wounding Ray spell. The Ray of Fear is a level 3 spell from the School of Necromancy. This spell has a range of 18 meters and is used to frighten your targets. The Wounding Ray spell is also from the School of Necromancy and is used to deal 2-16 Necrotic damage to the target.

Players can obtain this amulet by looting it from Spectato near the Temple of Selune, located in the Underdark.

2. Sentient Amulet

The Sentient Amulet is another rare amulet that offers the Shatter spell. The Shatter is a level 2 spell from the Evocation school. It has a range of 18 meters and damages all nearby objects and creatures. Creatures that are made of inorganic materials get a disadvantage on their Saving Throw.

This amulet is located in an Adamantine Chest, which is found in Grymforge. Since the name of this amulet is Sentient Amulet, it will actually talk to you once you pick it up, and players will unlock the “Help the Cursed Monk” quest.

3. Fetish of Callarduran Smoothhands

The Fetish of Callarduran Smoothland is a rare ring that allows the players to turn Invisible, making it one of the best rings in Baldur’s Gate 2 for stealth. However, one thing to remember is that the spell will break if players were to attack or take damage.

Players can obtain this ring during the quest- Removing the Parasite. It is looted from a corpse in the location- Grymforge.

4. Ring Of Psionic Protection

This is a rather interesting one, as it is no secret that the player character is infected with an illithid tadpole. For those who don’t know, these tadpoles are parasites that eventually kill their hosts after maturing into an illithid. The Ring of Psionic Protection is a rare ring that is used to stop the tadpole from growing but also prevents you from using its power.

The ring can be obtained when players visit the Myconic Colony, which is located in Underdark.

5. Broommother’s Revenge

The Broommother’s Revenge is an uncommon amulet that drips the wearer’s weapon with poison whenever they are healed. If you are fighting a tough enemy, it’s no secret that you will be healing yourself numerous times. In that scenario, this amulet can very easily be considered one of Baldur’s Gate 3 best items.

The Broommother’s Revenge amulet is located in Emerald Grove. It is dropped by Kagha.

6. Absolute’s Talisman

In case you like to play aggressively and mostly on the offensive side, then the Absolute’s Talisman is one of BG3 BEST magic items for you, as it heals the wearer’s 1d8 hit point whenever they deal damage. The wearer only receives this bonus when their current hit points are below 25% of the maximum.

This uncommon amulet is located in the Shattered Sanctum. It is dropped by the True Souls Gut.

7. Crusher’s Ring

In case you want extra mobility, then the Crusher’s Ring is one BG3 BEST magic items for you, as it increases the speed of the wearer by +3m. Allowing you to come in aid to your allies more quickly. Thus granting it a spot in this BG3 best items guide.

The Crusher’s Ring is dropped by the Novice Crusher, who is located in the Goblin Camp.

8. Amulet of Elemental Torment

This amulet is a rather interesting one as it allows the players to perform elemental damage on their enemy while they themselves are standing near elemental surfaces. Let’s say you were standing on fire. Once you attack your enemy, they will also be inflicted by fire damage.

Players can purchase this amulet from Arron, who is located in Druid Grove.

9. Amulet of Misty Steps

The Amulet of Misty Step does exactly what the name suggests. It allows you to use the Misty Step spell. The spell has a range of 18 meters, and it allows you to teleport to an unoccupied space. This is a rather fantastic spell to have during stealth sections.

This amulet is sold by the merchant- Omeluum, who resides in the Myconid Colony located in Underdark.

10. The Whispering Promise

This is a ring I would recommend equipping on the healer of your party, as the Whispering Promise ring will give the character a 1d4 bonus on attack rolls and save their turns after the wearer heals a creature.

The Whispering Promise ring can be found in multiple locations, such as the Goblin camp, Druid Grove, and Shattered, or players can also purchase them from Grat The Trader or Volo.

11. Ring Of Poison Resistance

I know just how frustrating it is when you or your party member gets poisoned mid-battle. This is why I consider the Ring of Poison Resistance one of BG3 best magic items since it increases the character’s resistance to Poison damage.

The ring itself is found in a Goblin camp on a skeleton before the Worg Pens, located in the Shattered Sanctum.

12. Ring of Color Spray

And finally, as for the final item in my BG3 best item guide, the Ring of Color Spray grants the wearer the Color Spray spell, which allows them to blind creatures totaling 33 hit points. It has a range of 5 meters and is rather useful in certain scenarios.

I will personally recommend obtaining this ring as soon as possible. The ring itself is located in the Harpy’s Nest near the Druid Temple.

My Personal Favorite Items In Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of many different kinds of Magical Items. Despite my 40+ hours of experience, I have yet to wield them all with my own hands. Some of them just present themselves naturally, but most are hidden behind demi-gods and ancient puzzles and sometimes only appear after a dialogue session with a rat.

bg3 — My updated hours on Baldur’s Gate 3 (Steam ID: Ibzie)

I have already stated my opinions on Shadowheart, so obviously, my favorite item on the list is Selune’s Spear of Night. Not only is it a powerhouse of a spear, but the way to get it is so fun that I recommend seeking it out even if you have no use for it.

And with that, my guide on Baldur’s Gate 3 Best Items comes to an end. I hope this guide helped you out. While you are at it, why not read the Baldur’s Gate 3 Best Builds, Best Classes, and All Feats guide as well? But that’s all from me.
