Or, if you're close enough, we highly recommend that you use the Shove Bonus Action on enemies from high up and watch them take a nasty tumble to their likely deaths. This means when you do attack, you'll likely take more HP off an enemy, bar any resistances. You can also use Dip to coat your weapons in something nearby, like Fire. There could be rocks, chandeliers, or other items dangling from above that can be easily shot down to devastating effect. Sometimes, the best combat decision is to take a moment to look around and see what destruction you can cause with the environment, instead of hitting an enemy directly. | Image credit: Eurogamer/Larian Studios Use the environment in combat With this in mind, when choosing spells, it's good to have some you can cast using your Reaction and Bonus Action, so look out for them. You get at least one Action and Bonus Action for every party member each turn, but some characters have even more Actions than this due to Class perks or other modifiers - so remember to use all of them before ending your turn! Even using up your movement to hide from future attacks is useful. So even if you don't need to Long Rest for combat reason, you should definitely do it often for the stories!

However, Long Resting will fully restore all party members' HP, Spell Slots, and Actions. Long Resting takes you to camp, so as its apt name implies, takes longer to do. You get two Short Rests a day, which are a great way to quickly restore some HP and Spell Slots - but don't forget to Long Rest too! On the end of the right-hand side of your hotbar, you'll see multiple resting options.

Spells can help you achieve success when trying to win approval with a character, and are also a great way to interact with the environment and creatures.

Holding SHIFT during the turn-based view shows everyone's vision cones, which is useful for figuring out if somebody can see you stealing, or doing something else not allowed in that area.

This often shows loot sources and alchemy materials for you to sift through, and it's also a great way to quickly see if your interaction counts as stealing or a no-no in the eyes of those watching. You should be holding down ALT to see what objects are intractable everywhere you go in Baldur's Gate 3.

Saving and reloading is also a great way to see just how different your narrative paths can be in a given situation. We especially recommend saving or quicksaving before starting conversations with your companions if you plan on romancing them, as certain romance scenes are only available behind these checks. Combat, some item uses, and character interactions rely on rolling in your favour, so it's a good idea to have multiple saves to fall back on! This also saves you resources, like lockpicks, if you fail a roll the first time. We recommend making liberal use of quicksave (F5) and quickload (F8) before any conversation, battle, item use, or entry into a new area. Image credit: Eurogamer/Larian Studios Save often, especially before conversations We recommend picking a character combination that seems most interesting to you, as we've found the biggest (and most fun) changes to the game come from how your character interacts with the world with their unique skills, and how others react to you.
