Because of a Baldur's Gate 3 weapon's deceptive description, it took me nearly two years to realize

Published on December 10, 2025

While perusing the sickos-only BG3Builds subreddit, I learned something that shocked me thanks to the helpful comment of user , a bit of knowledge that's been out there in the ether, but was never apparent to this obsessive BG3 power gamer.

The scimitar, obtainable in Act Three, isn't just a fun callback to Baldur's Gate 2, it's extremely powerful in the exact same way as the original, despite what its description indicates.

So you can make another attack as a bonus action, but the phrasing "send Belm" made me assume it only worked with the scimitar itself⁠—it sounds even more exclusive than the original weapon's description, which already obfuscated its most powerful feature.

Offhand Belm lets you attack with your main hand weapon as a bonus action, which is extremely powerful for characters who can't access the style, and/or are using a powerful main hand weapon that could outclass any potential offhand.

A prime suspect there is , a weapon summoned through one of Patch 8's most powerful new spells, and the centerpiece of one of my favorite new . Another strong candidate would be Orin's shortsword, .

I'm also just excited that I can still be surprised by this game after nearly two years, and I love that Belm really was here in all its glory the whole time. Once I make it to the city in , I'm making a beeline to Jaheira's house, brushing past her squad of quirky orphans, and stealing her dang sword.
