What is the Shadeclinger Armour in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Shadeclinger Armour is a rare chest piece that most classes and companions could use to gain extra Stealth and defence. The Shadeclinger trait will help boost your character’s defences by giving them Advantage on all saving throws while they are obscured. When a character is crouched or sneaking, and an enemy turns to look at them, they can be in one of three states:
- Clearly seen (you are not in shadow or hiding behind anything)
- Lightly obscured
- Heavily obscured
Additionally, even if you are not sneaking, if you are standing in a Lightly Obscured or Heavily Obscured area, these values can still apply. Finally, the Shadeclinger bonus will apply regardless of whether your character is Lightly or Heavily Obscured.

You will need to convince Jaheira that you are not part of the Absolute cult and that you mean no harm.

How to Use Shadeclinger Armour in BG3?
The best way to use the Shadeclinger Armour in Baldur’s Gate 3 is to equip it to a stealthy Rogue or Ranger build. Furthermore, you need to become adept at strategically positioning your character in places where they can’t be easily seen. If a character becomes obscured you will see a little icon above their head. A fully white sun means they are not obscured at all. If there is a half-white/half-dark sun icon, then it means they are Lightly Obscured. An icon showing a fully hooded head means that you are Heavily Obscured.
Your Rogue and Ranger can obscure themselves by moving to a shadowy area or partially getting behind an environmental object that breaks an enemy’s line of sight. Finally, your character is also considered obscured while they are crouching to hide. So long as you stay outside of an enemy’s red cone of visibility and remain hidden.
