The Ultimate Guide to Baldur's Gate 3: Unveiling the Most Epic Boots & How to Acquire Them

The gear category known as boots in Baldur’s Gate 3 unsurprisingly has a significant impact on the player's movement abilities. These boots can protect against debuffs, enhance movement in specific situations, or simply provide a boost to athleticism. These are the most frequently encountered features for players.

However, in Baldur’s Gate 3, there are also boots that offer additional abilities, specifically designed for particular playstyles or classes. Therefore, the ideal boots for each player will depend on their individual play style. Nevertheless, any of the following options would be a solid choice.

7 Boots Of Speed

The rogue class in Dungeons and Dragons is known for their powerful damage-dodging and cunning action abilities, which can sometimes make them overpowered. While these boots won't make the player feel invincible, they will certainly give them a taste of that power.

When wearing these boots, the player has a chance to double their movement speed for that turn. If the character uses the dash ability, their movement speed is quadrupled, resulting in a total 4x increase. Players can obtain these boots by giving an antidote to Thulla in the Underdark, specifically in the Myconid colony. Alternatively, the boots can be purchased from Thulla if they are not received as a reward for curing her.

6 Disintegrating Night Walkers

The game features a necklace that has similar effects, but the Disintegrating Night Walkers prove to be a superior option. Unlike the necklace, these boots can be utilized three times a day as they recharge during a brief period of rest.

These boots provide the wearer with the capability to evade debuffs such as being trapped in webs, entangled, or ensnared. Additionally, they offer protection against slipping on surfaces coated in grease or ice. The Grymforge is the place where these remarkable boots can be obtained, as they are dropped by the formidable True Soul Nere.

5 The Watersparkers

The rare Watersparkers boots possess two distinct abilities that offer players with a vivid imagination a means to effortlessly control the battlefield. Firstly, these boots grant the wearer 3 lightning charges if they commence their turn on an electrified surface. Secondly, when engaged in combat while standing in water, the boots automatically electrify the water surface.

For instance, if the wearer chooses to conjure water beneath a group of adversaries and subsequently employs the "Misty Step" spell to teleport themselves into said water, all the enemies within it will be abruptly subjected to electrocution. The Shattered Sanctum houses these remarkable boots within a gilded chest, conveniently located near Minthara.

4 Springstep Boots

The Springstep Boots, although not as valuable as the previous two, provide an additional boost to the player's mobility. With the "Swift Strides" ability, the wearer gains momentum for three turns, enabling them to cover an extra three meters of ground. To activate this ability, the wearer must utilize a dash or a similar action during their combat turn. These boots can also be discovered in the Shattered Sanctum, within the treasure crates situated just behind Dror Ragzlin's throne.

3 Linebreaker Boots

Linebreaker boots are ideal for situations where players need to enhance the power of their attacks. These uncommon boots possess the ability called "Wrath," which activates whenever players dash or perform a similar action during their combat turn, lasting for three turns.

The "Wrath" ability provides a +1 bonus to melee damage inflicted. Unfortunately, there are other equipment pieces, like the Cap of Wrath and Bloodguzzler Garb, that offer the same ability, but the bonuses do not stack. Therefore, it is advisable not to waste slots and instead allocate one slot for acquiring the "Wrath" ability and the remaining slots for other enhancements. These boots can be acquired in the Worg Pens, located in the Shattered Sanctum, and are dropped by Beastmaster Zurk.

2 The Speedy Lightfeet

These rare boots grant wearers the ability to acquire three lightning charges immediately after performing a dash or similar action during combat. Additionally, they provide a +1 bonus to athletics. However, the drawback of these boots lies in the fact that they are considered medium armor. As a result, certain characters such as rogues, who lack proficiency in medium armor, would suffer a disadvantage to stealth when wearing them.

Nevertheless, for those who find these boots advantageous, they can be discovered within a sturdy chest located beneath the mill in the Blighted Village. Access to the mill can be gained through a wooden hatch.

1 Boots Of Brilliance

The Boots of Brilliance are arguably one of the most valuable items in the game, providing the wearer with the ability to restore a Bardic Inspiration point. These points can mean the difference between success and failure, saving the player from unfavorable outcomes.

Bardic Inspiration allows a character to enhance their attack rolls, ability checks, or saving throws by adding either a 1d6, 1d8 (if the bard is level five or higher), or even a 1d10 (at level ten). Some may argue that this ability is excessively powerful, but its significance is ultimately inconsequential. The boots are obtainable within the Grymforge, concealed within a mimic chest.
