Baldur’s Gate 3 players encounter a myriad of creatures, each with its unique abilities and challenges. Among these creatures are the Gremishkas, panther-like beings with a peculiar aversion to magic. Born from the failed experiments of novice spellcasters, these creatures have developed an unpredictable allergy to magic, making them a challenge for any magic-wielding Baldur’s Gate 3. Found primarily in the Rosymorn Monastery during Act 2, these creatures can turn the tide of battle with their wild magic reactions. But fear not, for with the right strategy and understanding of their behavior, you can overcome these magical menaces. This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively find and defeat the Gremishkas in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Where To Find Gremishkas In Baldur’s Gate 3
The primary location of the Gremishkas is the Rosymorn Monastery. As you progress in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll come across this ancient structure.
While exploring the monastery, be on the lookout for signs of the Gremishkas. Their presence is often indicated by the remnants of failed magical experiments and the occasional magical anomaly. As you navigate the corridors and hidden chambers of the Rosymorn Monastery, prepare yourself for an encounter with Gremishkas.
While you might stumble upon a few Gremishka encounters around Baldur’s Gate 3, the most significant horde of these creatures is located around Rosynmorn Monastery. Specifically, adventurers can find the largest pack of Gremishkas on the second floor at coordinates (X:44, Y:32).
To reach this location:
- Start at the Rosynmorn Monastery waypoint situated at coordinates (X:24, Y:17).
- Climb the nearby vines. These vines serve as a natural ladder leading you closer to the Gremishka’s lair.
- Once you’ve ascended, you’ll need to break through a barricade to the east. This barricade stands as the final barrier between you and the Gremishka’s domain.
How To Deal With Gremishka In Baldur’s Gate 3
Gremishkas, while elusive and tricky, are not invincible. With the right strategy and preparation, you can overcome these creatures and reap the rewards. Here are some tactics to consider:
The Gremishka thrives in the presence of magic, but Wizardsbane Oil can be a game-changer. Applying this oil to your weapons can neutralize the Gremishka’s magical abilities, making them more vulnerable to your attacks.
Since magic can be a double-edged sword in this battle, rely on physical attacks. Melee weapons, arrows, and other non-magical means of damage can be effective against the Gremishka.
These creatures have a knack for invisibility, making them hard to target. However, using light sources, like torches or light spells, can reveal their position, making it easier to target and attack them. I suggest using Volo’s Ersatz Eye Amulet against Gremishka in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Tips for the Battle
- Save Before the Encounter: Given the unpredictable nature of the Gremishka, it’s a good idea to save your game before engaging with them. This way, if things don’t go as planned, you can reload and try a different strategy.
- Keep Healing Potions Handy: The Gremishka’s attacks can be potent. Ensure you have a stock of healing potions to recover health during the battle.
- Use the Environment: The surroundings can offer cover and vantage points. Use them to your advantage, especially if you have ranged attackers in your party.
How To Brew Wizardsbane Oil In Baldur’s Gate 3
Wizardsbane Oil is a powerful potion that can significantly hinder spellcasters. When applied, it imposes a -3 penalty to Spell Attack Rolls and Spell Save DC. Additionally, targets affected by this oil will have a disadvantage on Saving Throws for maintaining Concentration, and these effects last for 2 turns.
To craft the Wizardsbane oil in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll need the Essence of Gremishka Tail. Once you’ve obtained this essence, you can combine it with any suspension of your choice to brew the Wizardsbane Oil. The option to craft this oil becomes available in the Coating section of your crafting menu as soon as you extract the Essence of Gremishka Tail.
