Master the art of countering the potent Cloudkill spell in Baldur's Gate 3 with expert strategies Discover effective ways to neutralize its deadly effects, including using spells, blocking vents, and patiently waiting for the smoke to dissipate
If players come across Cloudkill in Baldur's Gate 3, they can effectively combat its draining effects through various means. Utilizing special spells or closely examining the game environment can greatly aid in overcoming this challenge. Here are the recommended strategies for dealing with Cloudkill.
Disable Cloudkill by Using Spells
To effectively counteract the impact of a spell, employing another spell is undoubtedly the best approach. For nullifying Cloudkill, players have the option of utilizing three distinct spells:
Gust of Wind proves to be an excellent choice as it not only disperses the poisonous fumes but also pushes adversaries away. In order to utilize this spell, players need to have a Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, or a Cleric with expertise in the Tempest Domain subclass included in their party.
Fog Cloud has the ability to eliminate Cloudkill and stop it from being cast. This spell can be learned by Wizards, Sorcerers, Druids, Rangers, and subclasses such as Tempest Domain (Cleric), Arcane Trickster (Rogue), and Eldritch Knight (Fighter).
Similarly, Darkness has the power to neutralize Cloudkill and prevent it from being cast. Warlocks, Sorcerers, and Wizards are able to use this spell. Subclasses like Arcane Trickster (Rogue), Eldritch Knight (Fighter), and Oathbreaker (Paladin) have access to it as well. Certain races, including Asmodeus Tiefling, Drow, and Drow Half-Elf races, also possess the ability to use this spell.
Remove Cloudkill by Covering Vents
If players are unable to utilize these spells for any reason, alternative approaches are available. In the event that Cloudkill is triggered by a trap, the spell's effect can be halted by closing the vents. To locate these vents, players can employ fire, as it temporarily disperses the smoke, or they can attempt a Perception check. Afterward, the vents can be easily concealed using an object.
Wait Until the Smoke Disappears
Despite its unconventional nature, this approach ultimately yields favorable results. Individuals can easily relocate to a secure distance and patiently await the dissipation of the smoke. Although it may require some time, it remains the optimal course of action when alternative avenues are nonexistent.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC and PS5, with an Xbox Series X version also in development.
