How to Permanently Increase Strength in Baldur’s Gate 3

To increase your strength by +2 permanent in Baldur’s Gate 3, bring Astarion to Araj Oblodra NPC located in Moonrise Tower during Act 2. Convince Astarion to share a sample of his blood, which then grants the user the Potion of Everlasting Vigour. Astarion doesn’t like being forced to donate his blood. This can result in Astarion’s disapproval and end a romance if one exists. However, depending on your build and party composition, this benefit can outweigh the cons.

Araj Oblodra Blood Donation

Your protagonist character can donate blood to Araj Oblorda, which will grant unique elixirs. This is advised because later in Act 3, Araj can grant you another permanent bonus, Unstable Blood. Below is a list of Araj Oblodra’s unique blood-draw elixirs, which grant individual bonuses until a long rest:
