What is the Fleshmelter Cloak in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3 the Fleshmelter Cloak is a solid end-game cloak for melee damage dealers, due to its passive bonus which causes small amounts of Acid damage to direct attackers. Caustic Reprisal will deal 1~4 Acid damage to any creature which does direct melee damage to the wearer. Note that this does not include range attack from bows and spells. However, this is still a good cloak for melee types who are often in the middle of combat, running first into the fray. As turns go by, that passive damage will add up and help take down packs of enemies that much faster.

How to Get Fleshmelter Cloak in Baldur’s Gate 3
In order to get the Fleshmelter’s Cloak in Baldur’s Gate 3 you will need to progress to Act 2 and then find a Gilded Chest in the House of Healing Morgue. The Morgue is located within the same area as the House of Healing, so you’ll need to head to the far west of the Shadow-Cursed Lands map to find it.
The Morgue itself is nearby, but cannot be directly accessed from the House of Healing itself. This can make it a bit tricky to find from just a brief description of location. There are a couple different points of entry, and we’re going to focus on the one nearest to the Gilded Chest itself. You’re going to need either a high Strength character who can manage long jumps or a party member with access to a couple casts of the Misty Step spell.
Finding the Gilded Chest
The main Morgue entrance to the far west is guarded by Shadow Harpers and inside there are gaseous traps and Zombies to fight. The secondary way is through an Ominous Crevice to the north of the House of Healing. There will be a dozen or so Cursed Kuo-Toas you’ll have to fight on your way there. However, with the exception of the Chief these fish creatures all have relatively small hit points. To find the Ominous Crevice after the fight just walk along the water line back towards the east/south and then up some rock ledges.
Once inside this back cave entrance, you can walk down the short path until you come to a cliff edge with a gaseous pit down below. The rock path curves around to the east but what you’re looking for is a ledge across the gap directly to the south. Jump or Misty Step across. There will be a lone Gilded Chest with a Sleight of Hand Dexterity Check of 14. Inside, you’ll find the Fleshmelter Cloak!
How to Use the Fleshmelter Cloak in BG3
Equip the Fleshmelter Cloak on any melee character to give them an extra defensive tool to deal damage to anyone who dares attack them at melee range. While the effect of the Cloak is minor, only dealing 1d4 Acid Damage, this adds up, making it easier to take out enemies. Remember that the Fleshmelter Cloak only effects melee attacks so spells and ranged attacks will not be effected by it.
Tips and Tricks of the Fleshmelter Cloak in BG3
While any character can make use of the Fleshmelter Cloak, it shines more when equipped with a strong melee fighter. Classes like Fighters, Barbarians, Monks, and Paladins all benefit from it. Avoid placing it on ranged attackers as they will seldom get any use out of it.
