Often, legendary weapons in Baldur's Gate 3 can be obtained by completing the main quests, while others require thorough exploration of the world. However, acquiring all the legendary weapons in one playthrough is impossible due to a limitation in the Shadowheart arc, where players can only choose one of two available options. With a total of 13 legendary weapons, finding the remaining ones can be quite challenging. Baldur's Gate 3 enthusiasts will surely be eager to discover the methods for obtaining each of these coveted weapons.
