How to Get Cap of Wrath in BG3? Explained
To get the Cap of Curing in Baldur’s Gate 3 you will need to make your way to the Grymforge, and find a Duergar named Thudd. He will be back by the cave-in which has trapped True Soul Nere. If you attack him straight out, the other Duergar in the immediate area (and possibly those even farther out in the Abandoned Refuge) will become hostile to your party.
Depending on how you play the story and dialogue in this area (you should have picked up the Free True Soul Nere quest when you landed on the Grymforge docks) you may end up in a fight with these Duergar regardless. Sergeant Thrinn drops a very nice Ring of Absolute Force. Nere himself will drop the Disintegrating Night Walkers, among other loot.
How to Use the Cap of Wrath in BG3?
The best way to use the Cap of Wrath in BG3 is with Karlach or another Barbarian custom character. Due to their lower Armour Class they will regularly trigger the Last Stand bonus feature, which grants the Wrath condition anytime they have less than 50% health while in combat.

To really take the damage bonus to the next level, you can stack the effect by also equipping the Bloodguzzler Garb or Enraging Heart Garb, and Linebreaker Boots, which all proc Wrath under various conditions.
