Crimson Mischief is a legendary shortsword wielded by Orin, the Chosen of Bhaal. The weapon can only be obtained by defeating Orin inside the Temple of Bhaal. After the battle, players can loot her remains to acquire the sword. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough to claim this coveted weapon, detailing each step and offering strategic insights to overcome the challenges that lie ahead.
How To Get Crimson Mischief In BG3
Begin your quest by solving the Open Hand Temple Murder in Rivington. This step is crucial for setting you on the path to confront Orin and eventually acquire the Crimson Mischief. Proceed to investigate the murders in Lower City/Baldur’s Gate. This investigation will provide you with essential insights and information leading you closer to Orin.
Locate the Murder Tribunal. Be cautious at this stage, as Orin will kidnap one of your companions. You have an infinite amount of time to rescue them unless you go to the Murder Tribunal. After finding the Murder Tribunal, you have three long rests to save your companion and defeat Orin.
Search and find the Temple of Bhaal, the location where you will face Orin in a decisive battle. Confront and defeat Orin in the Temple of Bhaal. Ensure not to knock Orin off the ledge of her arena as doing so will prevent you from looting her body to acquire the Crimson Mischief.
Upon defeating Orin, loot her corpse to obtain the Crimson Mischief, a legendary shortsword with impressive stats and abilities, making it one of the best weapons for assassins and rogues in Baldur’s Gate 3.
