Easy
bonus characters:
To play a Drizzt or Artemis easily, enable the "Cheat mode" code,
then use the level warp cheat to go to the BGate3 map for Drizzt. Do the
same under the extreme difficulty setting for for Artemis.
Extra
feats:
Find a save point, then save the game. Turn off the PlayStation2, then turn
it back on. Load the game that was just saved. Enable the "Level 10
character" code to get 500,000 gold, 45 feat points, but will still be
at the same level and have the same items. Repeat this as many times as
desired for more feat points. Note: You must have less then 500,000 gold
when you do this.
Extreme
mode:
Successfully complete the game under any difficulty setting.
Duplicating
items:
Get next to a save point. Save your game. Drop the items you wish to
duplicate. Reload your character. Pick up the dropped items. Repeat this as
may times as desired. You will have the number of items you had when you
saved plus the ones that you picked up after reloading.
This trick requires at least
two characters. First, save the game. Then, have one character drops all
their items. Next, have the other character pick up all the items, sell
them, then buy whatever desired. You can then reload the character that
dropped all their items. Note: In two player games, gold is shared; if you
reload the character after selling all the items it will reset the gold to
the saved amount. If playing in single player mode, start a second game and
save it. Then load the saved game you want to duplicate in. Import the saved
character from the other game into the game you are playing and save. Then,
repeat the process. When done, export the second character and continue your
game. Note: This works well for the workshop. Before selling duplicate
items, check to see if they have gems. You can break them out to have gems
to work with that are not for sale at first. Also, buy weapons that have
gems and break them for extra gems.
If you have items that you want
to duplicate, go to a battle area with a save location then save the game.
Drop the items to be duplicated on the ground. Then, select "Load
Character" and reload your character from the same save. Pick up the
item and you should now have two of them. You can use this to make a lot of
money by duplicating gems and runes. Sell them, then duplicate them again
and repeat. Then make a big item, such as armor with sixteen runes, sixteen
gem slot one, and sixteen gem slot two. Upgrade the item, duplicate, then
sell it.
Hint:
Defeating Argesh:
To defeat Argesh, leader of the Hands of Glory without getting hurt, get a
long range weapon, (for example, a bow). Stand close to the row of boxes
where there is a gap. Stand close enough to the boxes so that Argesh's
underlings will not see you. Shoot or throw your ranged weapon through the
gap to hit Argesh. Note: Some arrows will not make it through, but others
will. He will charge in your direction does not go around the boxes. Keep
shooting him until he is defeated. At that point, most of his underlings
will also be dead.
Hint:
Defeating Basilisk: A quick way to escape from the beams that the Basilisk shoots is
to jump until you are not slow anymore.
Hint:
Defeating Green Slimes: When battling the Green Slimes in the Sewers, use weapons that
have large damage attacks, such as swords and maces. When attacking the
slimes, hang around the edge of a corner and let them come to you. Then,
ambush them when they are close enough to your character. This is the best
way to battle in the Sewers, and it saves your health potions.
Hint:
Defeating the Harnak: To defeating the Wayfare Inn Boss, make sure you have a ranged
weapon. First, take out the underlings. Do not hit the Boss; he will not
attack you until you attack him. Once all the Goblin underlings are dead,
you can attack Harnak. When he starts to chase you, run towards the tables
on the right. Jump to get over them. Once on the top side of the tables,
line up on the corner closest to the fireplace. This should get Harnak stuck
by the bottom table, leaving you free to hit him with your ranged weapon.
Hint:
Defeating Luvia's beasts: When fighting in Luvia's Laboratory and you get to the end where
she sends two beasts to attack you, only go forward slightly. One of the
beasts will chase you. Stay in the bottom portion of the room and use the
crossbow on it. This is easier with two players. Eventually it will die and
then you can defeat the second one in any way desired.
Hint:
Defeating Mordac: His "shadow" is what heals him. Move your character in
the arena farthest away from the shadow and Mordac will eventually make his
way to you. Then, fight him by running around keeping tight circles while
periodically hitting him. When you defeat him, he will disappear and you
will fight him in the final battle again. This is the same way to kill his
"partner" (the one with the shield) towards the end of the game.
Note: It may help to use a "quick" weapon (for example, long sword
or mace; if you are using the Monk, you may want to avoid using the
"sweep kick" since it takes just a little bit of time to recover
from the movement).
Hint:
Entering the Elemental Planes: When entering the Elemental Planes think of where your going and
prepare yourself as follows. Buy at least 200 health potions. These areas
are not easy and you will die very fast if you do not have enough of them.
Elemental Air: Use your
normal equipped weapons and armor for this area. Also save all the way
through it.
Elemental Earth: For this
area, you will need to buy leather armor and wooden clubs with a damage of
5-8. This is due to the many of Rust Monsters on this plane. After you get
to the entrance of the Earth Foundation, put your regular armor and
weapons back on and tear the Boss apart. Go after the bowmen first or you
will not survive.
Elemental Water: Use regular
equipment. Nothing special is required for this plane. Make sure you save
the game before you go into the foundation.
Elemental Fire: For this
plane, if you feel bold and want to have some fun, upgrade weapons with
the Aquamarine stone for the freezing ability.
Hint:
Easy experience: This trick works with all characters who are able to buy
experience from their NPC associate, such as the cleric and the church of
Helm and necromancer with the Oglulkluer person. Make a lot of gold (use the
duplicate item trick if desired). Save the game. If you already used up your
NPC experience you will need to start a new game. However, if you have not,
save. Spend all your money on experience. Save a new saved game. Load your
old saved game before you spent your money on experience. Load your
character from the saved game after you spent the money. Spend more money on
experience and repeat as many times as desired.
Along with the item duplication
trick, you can make your character as powerful as desired. Before you have
spoken to the person who gives you experience for talking to them (for
example, when playing as Ysuran it is Omduil), duplicate items to get a lot
of gold. Then, save your game in two slots. Speak to him as many times as
you can to gain experience, then save on one of the slots. Exit to the menu,
then load the duplicated original from before you bought the experience.
With that loaded, import your character from the newer file. You will have
the experience, but you can buy it all over again. Always save to the newer
file, load the older game, then import the newer character.
For Artemis and Drizzt, the
level up cheat does not work (no experience). Instead, the best thing to do
is to warp from Boss to Boss .They are worth lots of experience. Defeat
Mordac, but do not break the little black thing.
Enable the "Cheat
mode" code, then use the "Level warp" cheat to go to
"bgate 2" during the first act after you have gotten to Baldur's
Gate. This is where Randalla gives you 1,000 experience points for saving
her. However, if you keep going there, she continues to give you more coins
and experience.
Hint:
Easy gold: Note: This trick takes awhile to complete. Enable the "Level
10 character" code. Go to the trader and buy as many rubies as you can.
Save the game, then quit. Reload that game then repeat those steps. After
you feel you have enough rubies, you can sell them back to the trader.
Depending on how many you sell, you can make quite a lot of money. For
example, if you buy 2,000 rubies, you can sell them for close to 3 million
gold It is best to use this trick before you advance past level 10 or you
will be low in HP.
Hint:
Easy gold and experience: In some situations, your character may be awarded a prize of
1,000 gold and 1,000 experience points. However, before you claim a prize,
save the game and get your award. Load a previously saved game before you
get your gold and experience points. Then, load the character that already
has the gold and experience points. Keep repeating this processes to get a
lot of gold and experience points.
To get 1,000 experience points
and 1,000 gold an unlimited number of times, enable the "Cheat
mode" code. Level warp to "BGate2". Talk to Randola Brasshorn
and she will give you 1,000 experience points and 1,000 gold for bringing
her to Baldur's Gate. After you get your reward, you will be warped to
"BGate1". Warp back to BGate2 and talk to Randola Brasshorn to
earn another 1,000 experience points and 1,000 gold. Repeat these steps as
many times as desired.
Hint:
Easy stat increase: This is a combination of two different methods. First go to the
person who will sell your character experience, then enable the "Level
10 character" code. Then, level up to level 12. To do this you may have
to use an alternate save after you finish buying experience, then reloading
the save before buying experience and importing the character. Now that you
are level twelve, select your stat increase then save the game in an
alternate save slot. Next, continue as if you were to level again but before
you talk to your NPC, enable the "Level 10 character" code. You
will now be back to level 10. Level back up to level 12, then get your next
stat increase. Repeat this as often as desired. Note: It seems necessary to
load from the main menu before using the "Level 10 character"
code, as the game seems to limit it to once per game.
Hint:
Increase rank: Each character has their own person to talk to (except Dorn).
Most of the time, these contacts ask for money. When you get a chance, pay
them the amount of money they ask for. In Act 3, the character's contact
will ask them to do one final mission. Do so and your character will earn a
new rank that makes them even more powerful. Dorn also gets this, but not
until Act 3.
At the start of Chapter 3, go
to the Purple Wyrm inn and talk to Randalla abut a new mission. This will be
the misson that is set personally for Dorn. She will tell you that you need
to meet with a Druid and help her with a problem. After you defeat him, take
the key from him. It will open a room that has 500 gold and three chests.
After that, talk to the Druid again. You will get your reward of gold and
experience, as well as new abilities for Dorn.
Hint:
Powerful Shadow Creatures: When in two player mode with Dorn and Ysuran, after raising both
their classes by doing the special side quests in Chapter 3, get Animal
Friendship for Dorn and Shadow Conjuration for Ysuran. Get full ranks in
both. Cast Animal Friendship on Ysuran's Shadow Creature for double damage
from its attacks, This works especially well when battling foes around
corners. You can send him around and he will attack with extra damage, and
you will not get hit at all. This is especially useful in extreme mode
because of the increased difficulty and creature damage. Note: This also
works with the summoned undead Also, it only works if the Shadow Creature is
moving.
Hint:
Getting the unlockable characters quickly: When starting a new game in the North American version of the
game, enable the "Cheat mode" code then go to the last level. Make
sure to enable God mode. Fight the last boss. When you defeat him, you will
unlock Drizzt and Extreme mode. Start a game Under extreme mode and repeat
the process to unlock Artemis. Note: Make sure to go to Chapter 3 to buy a
better weapon or you will never defeat the Bosses.
Use the "Level warp"
cheat in the North American version of the game, then to to
"bgate3". You will see Randalla Brasshorn talking. After the final
FMV sequence, go to "Start New Game" and press Down. You
will see Drizzt's name. Repeat this in extreme mode to unlock Artemis.
Hint:
Quickly complete the game: Start a game, enable the "Cheat mode" code. Use the
"Level warp" cheat to go to the Keep Of Pale Night, then level
warp to "bgate3" You will have finished the game. For great items,
go to the keep dungeon, rescue the heroes from the last game, and get one of
their magic items.
Hint:
Using the workshop: When using the workshop do not forget that you can put up to
sixteen of each stone in the item. Also, if you use the Necromancer's
Enchant Item skill combined with "Duplicating items" trick, you
can make crafted weapons for much cheaper than normal.
Hint:
Start extreme mode with better items: After unlocking extreme mode, first start a new game in any other
mode (for example, easy) with Drizzt for player one. Give him as many
weapons, armor, etc. that he can carry then save the game. Then, select
extreme mode and choose anyone. Bring him into the game as player one. He
will have all the weapons that were given him or her.
Use the following trick to
bring characters into an extreme mode game with all items and money. It
requires two memory cards; one with the extreme option unlocked, and the
other without. Start an extreme game on the first memory card. Save that
game on the second memory card. End the gamem then load the game from the
second memory card. It is now an extreme game on a card with no extreme
data. Then, load any character from the first memory card into the extreme
mode game. Remember to load the game from the second card and add characters
from the first card. In this extreme game you can make boots (only) of +15.
176 of each gem are required. Moonstone (speed) and Jacinth (strength) are
recommended. This will not work for any other armor, weapons or jewelry.
Hint:
Recommended weapons: Get to the Keep Of Pale Night and find the dungeons (or enable
the "Cheat mode" code, use the "Warp" cheat, and find
"KPND"). In the dungeon, there are five levers scattered about.
Once you have found all five of them, a message will appear stating that you
have unlocked the cell room. Once in the cell room, you will see that the
prisoners are the three main characters from Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
When you unlock a cell, the person will tell you that their weapon has been
taken and is hidden in a sarcophagus that you must find. You will only get
the weapon of the person that you unlock first. The dwarf will give you his
Flawless +5 Axe, the wizard will give you her Flawless +5 Staff, and the
archer will give you his Flawless +5 Bow. All weapons can be upgraded.
Use a Flawless Great Sword with
16 Rune Stones, 16 Amethysts, and 16 Corals. This creates a +5 Flawless
Greatsword Of Conquest. This weapon has 116 attack always, and depending on
who uses it and their strength, critical can go as far as 1000+ damage.
Hint:
Mace upgrades: When you reach the point where you have to fight Trolls at Skull
Gorge, upgrade your weapons. The best way to do so is to have two maces that
can be upgraded. When you upgrade, use these stones for the weapons. With
these weapons in hand as you enter Skull Gorge, you should have no problem
defeating the Trolls that are waiting there.
Fine Lite Mace: 1 Rune Stone
1 Jancinth and 1 Jade. Combine all these on this one mace and you will
have a Mace that will have the Fire and Acid ability and also have a +1
rating as well (Acid damage +1-4 and Fire damage is +1-8).
Fine Morning Star: 1 Rune
Stone 1 Ruby. Combine these to create a +1 weapon that will bleed 1 round
per level of the character using it.
Hint:
View item's special power: If you see an item that is being sold by the trader, and it has a
special power that interests you, press R1 to see more information.
Hint:
Gem combinations: Note: Rune Stones are required for all magical upgrades.
Jacinth + Diamond = Of Holy
flame (adds fire damage and destroys undead)
Moonstone + Emerald = Of The Moon (adds power to magic)
Topaz + Diamond = Of Justice (adds lightning damage and destroys undead)
Jade + Diamond = Necromancer's (adds acid damage and destroys undead)
Diamond + Diamond = Of Disruption (destroys undead)
Diamond + Pearl = Of Purity (destroys undead)
Hint:
See heroes' underwear: Get any type of armor. Take the upper-body piece of armor and
keep pressing X. You will soon see the heroe's underwear. If you are
Vahdria, you will notice that she is wearing a thong. Try rotating Vahdria
while doing this.
Hint:
Farting Dorn: When you are on the fire elemental level at the last save point
just before entering the fire foundation level, stand near the last save
point and wait. Instead of the Dorn heckling you to go on, he will fart. You
can hear it, the controller will vibrate, and the screen will shake.
Glitch:
Dark Possession: When using Dark Possession on creatures, you can use Flame Arrow
and it will harm the creature you took control of, but the spell will stay
on them as if you never hit them.
