The following are the hardest weapons to get in Baldur's Gate 3, but more often than not, players will be rewarded for the extra mile they go to get their hands on them, thanks to the unique and overpowered effects they possess.

5 Staff Of Arcane Blessing

Players Must Find A Secret Basement Of The Arcane Tower

Type	Rarity	Damage	Weapon Effects
Quarterstaff	Uncommon	1d8 Bludgeoning	Mystra's Blessing: Bless grants an additional 1d4 to Saving Throws and Weapon Attack Rolls, and 2d4 to Spell Attack Rolls. Bless (Lvl 1 Spell): Bless up to 3 creatures. They gain a +1d4 bonus to Attack Rolls and Saving Throws.

The Staff Of Arcane Blessing is one of the best Quarterstaves in BG3 and is particularly strong in the early and mid-game thanks to the bonus it gives to Spell Attack Rolls, helping more spells hit. However, players must go on quite an adventure and find a hidden level of the Arcane Tower that not everyone discovers.

The Arcane Tower is a location in the Underdark of Act 1, but to find the basement where this staff is located, players have a few options, none of which are obvious at first. The main way is by acquiring the Guiding Light ring from Bernard and wearing it on the teleporter pad to reveal a secret button.

4 Sickle Of BOOOAL

Found In One Of The Most Secret Locations

Type	Rarity	Damage	Weapon Effects
Sickle	Rare	2d4 Slashing	BOOOAL's Blessing: Advantage on Attack rolls against Bleeding creatures, as long as there are Kuo-toa to worship BOOOAL.

One of the areas that players are most likely to have missed in Act 1 of BG3, is the Festering Cove in the Underdark. Here, players will find weird fish-like creatures called the Kuo-toa who worship a Redcap named BOOOAL.

Even if players are able to find this remote location, that does not guarantee that they will be able to get their hands on Sickle Of Boooal. Furthermore, to get the most out of this weapon, players will also want to make sure the Kuo-toa are still alive and worshiping BOOOAL when they leave. The best way to achieve this is to convince BOOOAL to hand over the weapon and be his chosen. A feat that is easier said than done.

3 Nyrulna

Players Must Pickpocket A Ring To Win A Jackpot

Type	Rarity	Damage	Weapon Effects
Trident	Legendary	1d8 + 3 Piercing + 1d6 Thunder	Zephyr Connection: This weapon will return when thrown. Cannot be forced to drop the trident. When thrown, it creates an explosion that deals 3d4 (3~12) Thunder damage in a 6m blast. Veil of the Wind: Gain a +3m bonus to movement speed and jump distance. Gives Immunity to falling damage. Nyrulna: Glowing: This object shines with a glowing light in a radius of 6m. Zephyr Flash: Rush forward, creating an air vortex that blasts foes and possibly inflicts Bleeding. Zephyr Break: Zephyr Break imitates the effects of the spell Gust of Wind while dealing thunder damage.

The Trident Nyrulna is one of the best two-handed weapons in Baldur's Gate 3, with great damage and a plethora of effects and actions. However, very few players will have found this on their own as they must manage to win the seemingly unwinnable jackpot from Akabi at the Circus in Rivington at the start of Act 3.

The main way to win the jackpot is to pickpocket Akabi's Djinni's Ring, although it can also be purchased for a hefty sum. With this ring, players will be able to win the rigged game, and then be transported to a jungle where Nyrulna waits inside a chest. However, the chest is locked and players must pass a DC 20 lockpicking check.

2 Markoheshkir

Can Only Be Unlocked By Seeing An Invisible Lever

Type	Rarity	Damage	Weapon Effects
Quarterstaff	Legendary	1d8 + 3 Bludgeoning	Arcane Enchantment: Gain a +1 bonus to Spell Save DC and Spell Attack Rolls. Arcane Battery: Alleviate the arcane burden of spellcasting with the power of this staff. The next spell cast doesn't cost a spell slot. Kereska's Favor (Lvl 4 Spell): The wearer imbues themselves with elemental energy sourced from the draconic goddess, Kereska (6 variants).

One of the hardest weapons to find in Baldur's Gate 3 is the staff known as Markoheshkir which is located in Ramazith's Tower during Act 3 of the game. First of all, players must jump to the lower levels of the tower from a balcony, preferably avoiding fall damage. Then they must use the always useful Level 2 spell, See Invisibility to notice a lever.

Even after all this, players must still find a way to remove the shield that protects Markoheshkir, which more often than not involves passing a DC20 check. Going to all this trouble will be worth it for spellcasters though, as they can use any spell they want, at no cost once per Long Rest.

1 Balduran's Giantslayer

Player's Must Slay A Dragon In A Hidden Location

Baldur's Gate 3 Balduran's Giantslayer Greatsword

Type	Rarity	Damage	Weapon Effects
Greatsword	Legendary	2d6 + 3 Slashing	Giantslayer: On a hit, double the damage from the user's Strength Modifier. This weapon grants the wielder Advantage on Attack Rolls against Large, Huge, or Gargantuan creatures. Giant Form: Grow to a fearsome size. Weapons deal an additional 1d6 damage, and the user gains 27 Temporary Hit Points and Advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws. Topple the Big Folk (Action): Deals damage equal to the user's Proficiency bonus. On a hit, creatures that are Large or bigger must pass a Strength Saving Throw or fall prone.

Unless players have a Githyanki character, then there is little doubt that Balduran's Giantslayer is the best Greatsword in BG3. However, given its strength, it is also extremely difficult to acquire, and most players will have missed it in their playthroughs.

To get the Balduran's Giantslayer, players must defeat a legendary dragon, Ansur, but as difficult as that is even just finding The Dragon's Sanctum is hard. To get here, players must pass through the Wyrmway which is a hidden location inside Wyrm's Rock Prison. In the western block of the prison, players must use Lightning damage on two dragon head torches, to unlock a secret entrance to the passageway. Inside, many trials await, making this arguably the hardest weapon to get in Baldur's Gate 3.
