Every role-playing game has some special abilities, items, and spells that can give a character an advantage in battle, stealth, or conversation.Baldur’s Gate 3has the usual options of potions and buffs to make characters stronger, as well assome interesting hidden benefitsthat players have to find by persuasion, deduction, or just luck.
One such hidden buff is Rapture, which players can find in a location just outside of Baldur’s Gate. This gives the player an impressive +6 to their attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. The catch is that it only lasts for one long rest, and it’s not possible to get it a second time, so choose the timing for this useful buff wisely.
Find Naoise Nallinto
Travel to Sharess' Carress, a busy location in the southern part of Wyrm’s Crossing, to find the NPC that can give the playera generous and usefulRapture Buff.
When the party enters the room, it triggers Jara to transform into a Mind Flayer. The partyhas to fight the newborn Illithidand kill them. Then, speak to Naoise, and she can give them the buff.
If Naoise is attacked by the Mind Flayer and dies during the encounter, it’s not possible to get this buff. Make sure to get between her and the Mind Flayer, which is just a newborn and not so difficult to take down.
The Rapture Buff
Naoise isn’t fazedat all by the appearanceof the Mind Flayer, the fight, or its death. She openly admires the creature’s beauty, even in death, which she’ll reveal during the conversation. Ask what she has in mind, and she’ll answer with something called “Rapture.”
She then asks what the player would prefer and offers several choices. Choose “Power,” and Naoisewill narrate a short storyabout the character’s admirers along with their battle prowess and social standing. At the end of her dialogue, the character has the Rapture buff inBaldur’s Gate 3.
Baldur’s Gate 3is available now on PC and PS5.
