Baldur's Gate 3 - The Path to the Gloves of the Automaton

Introduction: The Secret Wonders of Baldur's Gate 3

You've already immersed yourself in the fantastic world of Baldur's Gate 3, perhaps winning some battles and solving puzzles. But have you discovered the Gloves of the Automaton yet? These magical items are not only eye-catching, but they also provide a significant boost to your combat abilities. I'll now reveal how to obtain them and make the best use of them. Draw your sword (or your wand), let's get started!

The Gloves of the Automaton - What can they do?

The Gloves of the Automaton are more than just a stylish accessory. They enhance the strength of your character and enable a powerful class action. Melee fighters, such as Fighters, Barbarians, Paladins, or Monks, particularly benefit from the gloves' strength improvement. However, your companions can also wear them if your own character cannot use them.

Where can I find the Automaton's Gloves?

The Automaton's Gloves are a coveted item and won't just be lying around. You'll have to put in a bit of effort to get them. But don't worry, I'll guide you through the process step by step. First, you need to find and rescue the gnome Barcus Wroot. He has been kidnapped by goblins and is trapped in a windmill. After you free him, he'll leave behind a backpack filled with items as a thank you.

The next time you encounter Barcus Wroot, he'll be in Grymforge. He's being held captive by a dark dwarf named Duergar. Free all the gnomes and gain Wroot's trust. Once you've done that, he'll return to your camp in Baldur's Gate 3 and become a merchant there. You can buy the Automaton's Gloves from him – or steal them if you're skilled enough.

How do I effectively use the Automaton's Gloves?

Now that you have the gloves, how do you make the most of them? Put them on and enjoy the boost to your strength rolls. You'll also gain access to the class action "Circuitry Interface," which grants you advantages on all weapon attacks for the next ten rounds. And the best part: Your character is considered a construct and is more resistant to lightning damage. This makes the Automaton's Gloves a powerful tool in your adventure in Baldur's Gate 3.

The Verdict

The Automaton's Gloves are a strong item that will be helpful to you on your journey through Baldur's Gate 3. They not only enhance your combat abilities but also offer strategic advantages. So grab your Steam Key, rescue the gnome Barcus Wroot, and secure this mighty item!
