Discover the Secrets of the Magic Mirror in Baldur’s Gate 3: A Guide to Character Redesign
In the ever-expansive world of Baldur’s Gate 3, character customization just got a magical upgrade. With Patch #3, Larian Studios introduced the “Magic Mirror,” a mystical artifact that allows players to redefine their character’s appearance, voice, and pronouns even after the game has begun. Delve into the details of this exciting addition and learn how to make the most out of it.
How to Find the Magic Mirror in BG3
For adventurers seeking to transform their character, locating the Magic Mirror is the first step. This enchanted looking glass can be discovered at your campsite once Patch #3 has been installed. In the standard outdoor camp, nestled within a small ruined fort, the Magic Mirror awaits. However, in alternate camp layouts like dungeons or the Underdark, the mirror’s location may vary, often found in side rooms accessible through camp doors.
How to Utilize the Magic Mirror (& Its Limitations)
Once you’ve found the Magic Mirror, interacting with it grants you the power to customize your current character. However, there are certain constraints to keep in mind:
What You Can Change:
- Appearance: Modify facial features, hairstyles, and other visual aspects.
- Voice: Alter your character’s voice to better suit your vision.
- Pronouns: Choose the pronouns that align with your character’s identity.
What You Can’t Change:
- Race/Subrace: Your character’s fundamental race and subrace remain unchanged.
- Body Type: The overall physique of your character remains fixed.
- Story-Driven Changes: Cosmetic alterations stemming from in-game events, such as battle scars, cannot be reversed using the Magic Mirror.
Additionally, the Magic Mirror is off-limits to Origin Characters, Hirelings, and Full Illithids. Origin characters, despite their rich narratives, cannot be visually altered using this method.
Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to captivate players on PC, Mac, and PS5, offering unparalleled customization options to craft your perfect adventure.
