Learn how to permanently increase your character’s strength by +2 with the Potion of Everlasting Vigour found in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3!
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.
