Embarking on the adventure of Baldur’s Gate 3 means making crucial choices and shaping your character’s destiny. For those delving into the rogue class, especially as a thief or assassin, a stealth build can be advantageous. The Penemubral armor, offering a +3 bonus for every stealth check, stands out as a top-tier light armor. Here’s where you can uncover the elusive Penumbral Armor in Baldur’s Gate 3.
1. Enter the Shadow Cursed Lands
Upon reaching the end of Act 1, your journey leads you to the Shadow Cursed Lands through the Underdark or the Mountain Pass. It’s advisable to explore both areas before proceeding, as the final choice determines your starting point in Act 2.
2. Gain Immunity From the Shadow Curse
The Shadow Cursed Land is shrouded in suffocating darkness dealing necrotic damage. Find protection by using a torch until you reach the Last Light Inn. Look for the large bubble shield over the Inn, meet Isobel, and receive Selune’s Blessing, eliminating the need for a torch.
3. Obtain a Moonlantern
Certain areas within the Shadow Cursed Lands exhibit stronger Shadow Curse effects. Acquire a Moonlantern by either convincing a Spider enemy or assisting Harpers in the Mountain Pass or Underdark. The Moonlantern provides protection against the Shadow Curse while held.
4. Get to the Abandoned House
Once shielded from the curse, head to the abandoned house east of the Last Light Inn. Cross the land bridge and access the house with two entrances.
5. Unlock the Opulent Chest
Inside the house, find a small room with a skeleton and an Opulent Chest. Pass a Dexterity skill check to lockpick the chest and claim the stylish and stealthy Penumbral Armor.
Equip the Penumbral Armor and let your stealth-focused rogue navigate the shadows with unmatched finesse in Baldur’s Gate 3.
