Throwing weapons are a more unusual choice for a Baldur’s Gate 3 build, but there are still powerful weapons that are designed to be thrown in combat.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is an incredibly expansive game, with vast amounts of weapons, armor, magic, and more. Some of these items can be easy to miss with how much content is in the game. The numerous classes, and the specializations of the classes, further create vastness in the game.
One of these key areas is the throwing feature, where players are able to launch weapons they have in their inventory at enemies (not the other throwing feature where players can toss characters at adversaries). Most of the time, classes have options for using ranged attacks to deal with enemies. However, some classes such as Fighter or Barbarian don’t always have on-hand ways to utilize ranged attacks and must resort to throwing weapons. A Barbarian throw build is even a viable option, but such builds obviously need the best armaments to deal the most damage.

This weapon must be repaired with the Shaft of a Broken Spear as found west of the Druid Grove on Edowin’s body, and the Head of a Broken Spear can be looted in the Owlbear Nest from the Owlbear. Combine these two parts and the Vision of the Absolute will be repaired, but the decision to kill the Owlbear and leave her cub without a parent can be tough.
The Vision of the Absolute doesn’t possess any special enchantments or extra damage, but instead holds a unique feature that Blinds enemies that fail a Dexterity saving throw, one of many status effects in the game. Be warned, this only activates when wielding the weapon, not when thrown.
The weapon also dishes out 2 – 12 Piercing Damage to any enemies with multiple sets of eyes. Aside from these special properties, the Vision of the Absolute has all the regular features one would expect of a weapon. It can be Dipped, it is in the Versatile class, and has a Strength modifier. 7 Dread Iron Dagger
Stealth can be one of the most overpowered ways to achieve victory in battles in Baldur’s Gate 3.
