How to Unlock Chests Without Lockpicking in Baldur's Gate 3
0Wazzup Everyone, Welcome Back!
In the sprawling world of Baldur's Gate 3, one player has stumbled upon a nifty secret to crack open locked chests – and it doesn't involve fumbling with lockpicks or blowing things up. This discovery shines a light on the game's intricate mechanics and attention to detail, where physics and fall damage collaborate seamlessly with gameplay elements.
In many CRPGs, a reliable locksmith is your golden ticket to uncovering treasures hidden within locked chests. Baldur's Gate 3 is no exception, with its array of locked containers concealing precious loot. While these chests boast health pools, many are built tough as nails, preventing players from casually chipping away at them. This is where the traditional method of brute force fails – unless you can obliterate them in a single strike.

Enter Reddit user rotating_tusk, who unveiled a clever workaround. Their ingenious idea? Dropping these chests from a height, sending them plummeting to a health-threshold-breaking fate. Voila! You're in, without the need for delicate lockpicking or extravagant spells. As many chests rest on level terrain, you'll need a strong character to haul these locked goodies until the perfect dropping spot presents itself. Alternatively, you can stash chests at camp, ready for the opportune gravity-defying moment.
While we're unsure if the developers intentionally threw this trick into the mix or if it's a happy accident resulting from the game's intricate systems mingling, the idea isn't far-fetched. Larian, the masterminds behind the game, have invested considerable effort into ensuring consistent physics. From flinging objects to characters, it's not just a game mechanic – it's a strategy.
This love for gravity-bending mechanics is evident in achievements too. Take "Shove Off," for instance, which encourages players to defeat enemies using fall damage. It's almost as if Larian slyly nudged players towards harnessing the power of gravity for some good ol' experimentation.
Now, what sets Baldur's Gate 3 apart is that using this chest-cracking technique doesn't diminish their contents. Yes, you heard that right – no loot degradation here. This not only makes our dear Rogue, Astarion, a bit less vital, but it showcases how playing a Rogue in Baldur's Gate 3 is about much more than just lockpicking.
So, there you have it – a crafty trick to turn those stubborn locked chests into yielding treasure troves, all thanks to the artful dance of gravity and a dash of gamer ingenuity. Stay tuned to Wazzup Nerd Insider for more gaming insights and quirks from Baldur's Gate 3 and beyond!
