If you find the wizard a little too dorky for your liking, and the rogue doesn\u2019t quite scratch that arcane itch for you, then you may want to consider the warlock \u2013 who neatly slots between the two.<\/p>\n

To help you forge this new path, we\u2019ve got our Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 warlock class guide with the best choices and options to build your warlock explained.<\/p>\n

By opting for the warlock, know that you must from time to time do your master\u2019s bidding. There\u2019s no such thing as a free lunch, and this is especially true when making deals with eldritch beings.<\/p>\n

In return, you do get some great spells, such as Mind Control and Mortal Reminder, that can make others fight for you or be too frightened to fight at all.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also find the warlock to be a natural smooth talker, so if you like manipulating and charming the denizens of Faer\u016bn, the warlock will be well-suited to you.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you can\u2019t talk your way out, just blast them with your spells or make them attack their friends. With all that said, read on to unlock your warlock!<\/p>\n

Best subclass for warlock in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/b><\/h2>\n
The best subclass for the warlock in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is The Great Old One<\/b>. This offers you some pretty powerful spells that keep your enemies in check or, well\u2026 dead.<\/p>\n
Mortal Reminder<\/b> \u2013 When you land a Critical Hit against a creature, that creature and any nearby enemies are Frightened until the end of their next turn.<\/p>\n
This is especially useful for when enemies get too close to your warlock and you need to create a bit of breathing space.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also great when you land a critical hit during an ambush and you can send in the rest of your party for mopping them up.<\/p>\n
Best race and subrace for warlock in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/b><\/h2>\n
The best race and subrace for the warlock in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is the Mephistopheles Tiefling<\/b>. The Mephistopheles Tiefling offers a few advantages over the other races to eke it out as our top pick, which we\u2019ve listed below.<\/p>\n
Hellish Resistance<\/b> \u2013 Your blood protects you from flame, abyssal or otherwise. You have resistance to Fire and take only half damage from it.<\/p>\n
Darkvision<\/b> \u2013 This creature can see in the dark out to 12 metres.<\/p>\n
You also get +2 to your Charisma, which is hugely important for the warlock as its damage output for spells is determined by a Charisma modifier.<\/p>\n
You unlock some pretty spiffy spells too.<\/p>\n
Level 1<\/b><\/p>\n
Mage Hand<\/b> \u2013 Create a spectral hand that can manipulate and interact with objects.<\/p>\n
Level 3<\/b><\/p>\n
Burning Hands<\/b> \u2013 Each flammable target is hit with 3 ~ 18 Fire damage.<\/p>\n
Level 5<\/b><\/p>\n
Flame Blade<\/b> \u2013 Conjure a flaming scimitar in your hand that deals 3d6 Fire damage and sheds bright light in a 3m radius and dim light in a 6m radius. The blade can be unequipped and equipped again, but has to stay on the spellcaster\u2019s person.<\/p>\n
