Hidden Baldur’s Gate 3 Bed Buff Turns the Tides in Act 3 Cazador Fight

Despite its inconspicuous nature, this undiscovered Baldur’s Gate 3 buff serves as evidence that thorough investigation of all aspects of the game is worthwhile, even if they initially appear unimportant.

Starting with battles against hyenas, gnolls, and goblins, Baldur’s Gate 3 gradually escalates to more challenging foes with frustrating spells and mechanics. As you progress further in the game, one wrong move can result in your entire party being wiped out, especially when playing in Honor Mode.

Thankfully, there are various buffs available in the game that can provide assistance. Although not all of them are permanent, such as Volo’s “painful”lobotomy, some buffs can greatly increase your chances of defeating a boss or avoiding defeat.

Prior to entering the battle against Cazador in Act 3, it is important not to overlook the HP buff that is available. If you are not regularly checking the Baldur’s Gate 3 patch notes, it can easily be overlooked while playing.
