Baldur's Gate 3: 10 Best Secrets You Need To Find

8. Finding The World’s Smartest Ogre In Baldur's Gate 3

Ogres are, as a general rule, not the brightest bunch.

If we’re not being diplomatic about it it’s fair to say they absolutely min-maxed into brute force strength and away from intelligence. That’s why it comes as a bit of a shock when you encounter a shockingly well-spoken ogre with a couple of buddies in Baldur's Gate 3 - more specifically the game's Blighted Village location.

Of course, few things are as surface level as they appear in the Forgotten Realms and if you’re happy to get a little murdery you’ll find out what’s going on here.

You see, it so happens that the smarty-pants ogre named Lump the Enlightened has the Warped Headband of Intelligence on him which has granted him an Intelligence score of 17. Ogre plus magic helm equals smart ogre. It might only be a small little secret but it’s a delightful detail and the perfect example of developer Larian going the extra mile to create a dense and vibrant world.
