10 Hidden Gaming Easter Eggs With POWERFUL Rewards
3. Duke Ravengard's Longsword - Baldur's Gate 3
Baldur's Gate 3 is prepared for virtually every choice the player can make. Even the most ridiculous action can trigger a special cutscene or failsafe, but only one of them additionally rewards you with what is possibly the most powerful sword in the game.
In Act 3, the player is invited to attend Enver Gortash's coronation as he attempts to use the brainwashed protector of Baldur's Gate, Duke Ravengard, to make his ascent to power official.
After Ravengard blesses Gortash with his legendary longsword, the tyrant sends him to a secret prison in the Iron Throne, where you can attempt to rescue him.
If you do so successfully, the old Duke will appear in your camp.
Now, since the Duke is your ally and the father of your companion Wyll, this is where the story ends for most players who didn't kill him during the coronation.
However, if you kill or command the allied Duke to drop his weapon, you will be able to get his sword from the cutscene, which grants its user a flat +2 bonus to their charisma.
Allying with the Duke and then messing with him is the only way to get the sword, as he will not drop it during the coronation, making this a secret only a few very curious and/or messed up players can find.
