These gloves can be acquired by killing Haarlep in the House of Hope. The Reaper's Embrace Armour looted from Ketheric at the end of Act 2 is a great alternative to the Helldusk Armor, offering incredible defensive utility without needing to fight Raphael for it.

This powerful staff gives all creatures disadvantage on saving throws against the wielder's necromancy spells, while also harvesting "Life Essence" from any creature killed with a necromancy spell cast by its wielder.

Updated on March 22, 2025, by Rhenn Taguiam: With Larian Studios letting go of their involvement with Dungeons & Dragons titles, it’s once again up to Hasbro to take the charge in figuring out what exactly they should do with the beloved Baldur’s Gate 3 and the hit TTRPG franchise. Thankfully, players eagerly awaiting the company’s decision about their IP can still enjoy a complete experience with Baldur’s Gate 3, especially when a straightforward tank can offer a less complicated experience by focusing more on keeping the party alive rather than theatrics. With this in mind, players who are starting a new playthrough as a tank or leaning towards a vanguard-type character will need to equip their characters with the appropriate Heavy Armour.

The first of these that players can find are the boots of Striding and the Shapeshifter's Boon Ring. The former are dropped by Minthara in Act 1 and will grant boosted movement speed and immunity to the "prone" condition while the wearer is concentrating on a spell. If the Druid is concentrating on a spell before entering Wildshape, this effect will remain while they are in Wildshape. The Shapeshifter's Boon Ring is dropped by the Strange Ox in Act 1 (or obtained by following it's questline all the way to the end in Act 3) and grants a 1d4 bonus to all ability checks when in Wildshape.


Armour is a critical element of a player’s arsenal in Baldur’s Gate 3 , primarily since D&D mechanics dictate Armour Class and other defensive characteristics based on the armour that one wears. While Baldur's Gate 3 offers the usual slate of Light, Medium, and Heavy Armour for most characters, specific equipment provides additional benefits that can help carry characters through much of the game’s mid-game to the endg
