With the vast array of features in Larian Studios’ expansive RPG, it’s easy to miss some details or get overwhelmed, much like forgetting a spell due to Modify Memory.

Buried within the game’s near-endless list of abilities, skills, and enhancements is Wrath. From the outside, it doesn’t appear too pertinent to your gameplay, but to certain classes, it should be.

Wrath offers some tremendous benefits that will make your character stronger, so let’s walk you through everything.

What does Wrath do in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Defined as an Equipment Feature in BG3, Wrath gives players a +1 damage bonus to any melee attacks.

Here’s the official description of Wrath: “Effect: Adrenaline courses through your veins. You have a +1 bonus to melee damage.”

So, if you favor more physical classes such as the Barbarian, Fighter, or Paladin, then Wrath becomes a more paramount Equipment Feature than it would for Magic-based classes.

How to get Wrath in Baldur’s Gate 3

There are three pieces of equipment in Baldur’s Gate 3 that will equip the player with Wrath: Cap of Wrath, Bloodguzzler Garb, and Linebreaker Boots.

Having any of these selected as active items will enforce Wrath. Again, if your class specializes in getting up close and personal with an enemy, then Wrath will make your blows far more powerful.
