Alright, fellow adventurers! Let’s talk Baldur’s Gate 3, the RPG masterpiece by Larian Studios that throws you right into the heart of the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons setting. Act 1 takes us on a journey into the mysterious Underdark, home to Drow, Duergar, Deep Gnomes, and secrets older than time.
While you’re navigating this subterranean wonderland, keep an eye out for three cool items – the Icy Crystal, Icy Helve, and Icy Metal. These little treasures are in the hands of some Drow, each on a quest for the Adamantine Forge. What’s fascinating? Well, these items drop hints that they can be combined into something even more epic.
Now, here’s the kicker – these icy gems are easy to miss. No quest markers, no flashy lights, just waiting to be stumbled upon. But fear not, brave souls, for I’ve got the scoop on where to find all three:
- The Icy Helve:
- Snagged from Drow Dhourn, a petrified victim near the Selunite Outpost. Pro tip: Pick-pocket the Crystal if you spare Dhourn; he vanishes after.
- The Icy Crystal:
- Nestled in the manic grip of Drow Filro, the Forgotten, near the Sussur Tree. Be ready for a showdown with Filro and his Hook Horrors.
- The Icy Metal:
- Resting beside a deceased Drow in the Myconid’s treasure grove. Complete Sovereign Spaw’s quest to take down Duergar slavers and unlock this chilling piece.
How to Craft Mourning Frost in Baldur’s Gate 3
Now, let’s talk crafting – the real deal for adventurous souls. Once you’ve got all three Icy items, it’s time for a little magical DIY. Right-click on one, hit Combine, and drag the others into the mix. Boom! You’ve crafted the Mourning Frost Quarterstaff, a Very Rare magical item.
Mourning Frost isn’t just a stick; it’s a powerhouse for spellcasters dealing in Cold damage. You get a sweet +1 bonus to Cold damage rolls, and your Cold spells can chill foes. What’s Chilled? It makes them cold-resistant but vulnerable to Cold damage – double trouble for two turns. Plus, you get the Ray of Frost cantrip and a cool +1 to physical attack rolls.
So, there you have it, intrepid gamers! Keep your eyes peeled for those icy wonders, and may your adventures in Baldur’s Gate 3 be as epic as crafting Mourning Frost itself!
