Baldur's Gate 3 has a seriously OP spell every player can access

When it comes to spells in RPGs, a lot of what you have access to is based on the character you play as. However, there’s an OP spell in Baldur’s Gate 3 that virtually every player can use. It’s so overly powerful, in fact, that a lot of players are calling it “one of the top 5 best spells in BG3”.

What is this spell, I hear you cry. It’s Misty Step. As the name (kinda) suggests, it’s all about disappearing into a shroud of mist, only to appear somewhere else to surprise your foes. Teleport your way to victory without the enemy ever seeing it coming; it’s a solid strategy, and one that countless BG3 players are relying on to get them to Act 3. Though whether you want to blitz your way to the end of the game is questionable because, rumour has it, the ending is “disastrous”.

Not sure Misty Step is for you? Maybe watch the BG3 trailer first!

In fact, there’s been so much annoyance at Act 3 and the ending it bestows on one particular character, that Larian Studios is going to offer an alternate ending to appease fans. Whether the fans will be as grateful as the devs hope is another matter entirely – need I remind anyone of how ticked off fans were at Mass Effect 3, even after they added a third ending to try to fix the issue? It didn’t work. People were still super angry.

Misty Step is a spell that keeps on giving, allowing users to surprise attack anyone they want – as one user said, “An enemy too close? Misty step. An enemy too far away? Misty step.” It’s the one true solution, though some fans are also praising Tiger Heart and Athlete Feat, though only because it's “as good as Misty Step”. In short, don’t sleep on Misty Step and you’ll breeze through the game.

If you want to Misty Step all the way, you can do so on PC now, or wait until Baldur’s Gate 3 launches on PlayStation on 6 September.
