Baldur's Gate 3 Unveils Riotously Funny Name of Shield, Leaving Players in Stitches!

Highlights

In Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios has introduced captivating and thrilling equipment, like the humorously titled Shield of Shielding. This remarkable gear offers an Armor Class boost of +2 and allows the user to cast the Shield spell without any cost.

In Baldur's Gate 3, players can use dyes to seamlessly merge their armor pieces, allowing them to create a visually consistent outfit without the need for a glamour system. This adds to the game's appeal, as it offers a captivating itemization system where players can find powerful and captivating items in different parts of the game, resulting in thrilling discoveries during their adventures.

Larian Studios has created an array of impressive items in Baldur's Gate 3, and among them is a player who showcases a remarkably strong shield with a delightfully silly name. The customized content in Baldur's Gate 3 offers a wide selection of powerful equipment, such as the Potent Robe or the Helldusk Armor, and fans have had a great time equipping their companions (as well as their player character) with the best gear they can find.

Although the game lacks a glamour system, the dyes in Baldur's Gate 3 have allowed players to seamlessly blend their armor pieces together for a visually cohesive appearance. At the beginning of the game, players can obtain a particularly impressive set of Adamantine items in the Underdark during the first Act. One of the exciting aspects of itemization in Larian's popular game is that players can uncover compelling and powerful items in various sections of the game, from the abandoned ruins in the starting area to the hidden corners of the Lower City.

Unfortunately, the shield shared by YouarethisIlikethat on the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit is only obtainable after reaching the latter half of the game. Aptly named the Shield of Shielding (which is quite humorous), this formidable shield boasts a +2 Armor Class and allows for a free cast of the Shield spell. Players can find it in a chest labelled "Offerings to Helm" in the basement of the Stormshore Tabernacle. While Viconia's Walking Fortress or Shield of the Undevout may be superior options overall, the Shield of Shielding's simple benefit can still prove valuable in reducing damage from a particularly tough enemy.

Considering that both Lae'zel and Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3 naturally gravitate towards Two-Handed Weapons, players will likely prioritize shields for their own class (if they happen to be proficient) or for Shadowheart. It could be paired with something like the Mace of Lanthander or Shadowheart's own iconic spear earned during the game's second Act in the Gauntlet of Shar. While Shield is a Level 1 spell that becomes a formidable tool for Wizards after acquiring more spell slots, having it available on Fighters or Clerics is an additional advantage worth considering.

Larian has taken note of player feedback regarding the final stages of the game on the Sword Coast and has implemented a significant patch for Baldur's Gate 3. This update aims to address the concerns raised by players and demonstrates the developer's commitment to crafting a sequel worthy of the renowned legacy of its predecessor. Currently, Baldur's Gate 3 can be played on PC, with a version for PS5 set to release on September 6, and an Xbox Series X/S version expected in late 2023.
