Hey adventurers! 👋 It's your girl, back with another deep dive into the absolute treasure trove that is Baldur's Gate 3. We all know the thrill of finding that perfect piece of loot that just changes your entire playthrough, right? Well, let me tell you about one of my all-time favorite utility items that I make sure to snag in EVERY single run, no matter my class I'm playing. It's a game-changer, a stealth-enabler, and a straight-up cheat code for getting into places you're definitely not supposed to be. Let's talk about the Fetish of Callarduran Smoothhands.

What is it? Well, it's a rare ring that gives you the power to cast Invisibility (a level 2 spell) on yourself or any other creature. Being invisible for 10 turns is... well, let's just say it's a game-changer. Invisible characters have advantage on attack rolls, which means more hits and more critical hits! 🎯 Enemies have disadvantage on attacks against you, so you're safer too.

Who is it for? This is where things get interesting. If you're playing a class like Bard, Warlock, or Wizard, you can already learn the Invisibility spell, so maybe you don't need this ring. But if you're playing a Fighter, Barbarian, Paladin, or even a Rogue (who loves to sneak around but doesn't have the spell), this ring is a lifesaver. It's especially useful for party members who are not specialized in stealth or spellcasting.

Uses? Oh, let me count the ways! 🤔

  • Stealth missions: Need to sneak past a group of enemies? Invisibility is your best friend.

  • Heist missions: There's a bank that's an absolute fortress. But guess what? With Invisibility, you can waltz right through the front door.

  • Dungeon exploration: Explore dark caves, ancient crypts, and you can avoid traps, monsters, and all sorts of dangers.

  • Combat advantage: Invisible characters can get into flanking positions without being seen, setting up devastating attacks.

Where to find it? This is where things get interesting. The ring is in the Underdark (Act One). You'll need to make your way to Grymforge. I recommend being around level five or six when you enter this area, as it will make things a bit easier.

Once you reach Grymforge, look for a pair of Duergar who are throwing Deep Gnomes into the water. Speaking with them will trigger a cutscene.

You have a few options here:

  1. Skill Checks: You can try a Perception check (DC 10) to look at the bodies, or a Sleight of Hand check (DC 20) to grab the ring directly. Alternatively, you can try a Deception check.

  2. Combat: If you'd rather not deal with the checks, you can choose to fight the Duergar. Loot the ring from one of their corpses.

Pro-Tip: Fighting the Duergar here is risky. If the fight spreads, the rest of the Duergar in Grymforge might become hostile. If you do fight, try to keep it contained!

So, there you have it! The Fetish of Callarduran Smoothhands is a must-have for any adventurer looking to gain an edge in stealth, exploration, and combat. It's a versatile tool that can be used in countless situations, and it's definitely worth the effort to find. Happy looting, everyone! 🎉
