What are Abyss Beckoners in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Abyss Beckoners are an armour piece that any class or companion can use to gain access to Demonspirit Aura. In BG3, Demonspirit Aura is a passive feature that you can toggle on and off. Furthermore, it allows the wearer’s summoned creatures to have resistance to all damage except Psychic damage. However, the catch is that at the start of the summoned creature’s turn, it must succeed on a 13DC Wisdom Saving Throw or be driven Mad.
Additionally, the Demonspirit Madness condition will cause your summoned creature to uncontrollably attack the nearest target on its next turn. This attack can be against a friend or foe.
Finally, the Demonspirit Aura has a radius of 9 meters that centers around the wearer. Therefore, only those summoned creatures within this radius will be affected. If a summoned creature has moved out of range, it will no longer get the benefits (or have to pass the saving throw).

How to Get Abyss Beckoners in BG3?
To get the Abyss Beckoners in Baldur’s Gate 3 you must gain entrance to the Zhentarim Basement in Act 1, get the Zhentarim Key held by Jarg, and open the cell door on the right-hand side. Consequently, inside this cell will be a chest that holds the Abyss Beckoners.
Step 1- Enter the Zhentarim Basement
To find the Zhentarim Basement, head to Waukeen’s Rest in the northern portion of the Act 1 map in Baldur’s Gate 3. In the northwestern corner of the complex, you will see a bunch of crates and boxes stacked in front of the building entrance. Remove them, then go inside to interact with Salazon. Moreover, if you have already completed the Find the Missing Shipment quest then you may already have the password from Rugan. However, even if you haven’t you can still persuade Salazon to stand down.
Afterward, he will give you a key to the wardrobe, which you can use in the back room to open up the secret entrance to the Zhentarim Basement.
Step 2- Get the Zhentarim Key
Next, you’ll need to get the Zhentarim Key in order to open the door to the cell at the very back of the basement. There are actually two Zhentarim Keys, and the one that will open the cell you need is held by an NPC named Jarg.
Depending on how you play out events here in the Zhentarim, you can earn the leader’s trust or hostility. If you anger them, then you’ll have to fight everyone and it will be easy to loot any of the keys afterward.
However, if you want to stay on the Zhentarim’s good side, then it is also possible to pick-pocket the key from Jarg.
How to Use Abyss Beckoners in BG3?
The best way to use the Abyss Beckoners is with a Necromancy Wizard build that has unlocked the Danse Macabre spell from the Necromancy of Thay. This is because any Ghouls you summon using this spell are immune to the Demonspirit Madness condition.
Additionally, the Animate Dead: Ghoul and Animate Dead: Flying Ghoul summons are also immune to that same conduction. However, the Ghoul versions of the Animate Dead spell will require that you use a level 5 spell slot. You won’t receive any Level 5 spell slots until your Wizard reaches Level 9. Therefore, this could be a very powerful build at end game.
