How to Get Shattered Flail in Baldur’s Gate 3

The Shattered Flail can heal you at the risk of going mad, and you can get it during Act 1 of Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3).

Shattered Flail

In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Shattered Flail has the fantastic bonus of being able to heal you each time you hit an enemy with this weapon. With the Yeenoghu’s Gift perk, each time you hit an enemy you have a chance to heal for 1-6 points of health. However, this potentially overpowered weapon comes with a risk. If you don’t continue to hit an enemy each turn, then you have a chance to go Mad.

Madness is a Condition in BG3 that causes you to lose control and become hostile to everyone in the vicinity. Hostile creatures generally attack whoever is first in their line of sight. The only way to see another creature’s line of sight is by crouching using the Hide action. Then, the red cone on the ground in front of your target will show you where they are looking.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to cure the Madness debuff on yourself or a party member. There are no spells, potions, or elixirs that will clear this condition, either. Therefore, using this flail can be risky. You must make sure that your character hits something each turn of combat, or your whole party may go down.

How to Get Shattered Flail in Baldur’s Gate 3

To get the Shattered Flail in Baldur’s Gate 3, you need to head north to the Risen Road in Act 1 and find the group of Gnolls attacking the Zhentarim traders in the cave. There are quite a few of them so be prepared. You should be on the lookout for one called Flind, who is the Gnoll Warlord leader. He is the most powerful in the group and has a lot of HP, as well.

He should be your main target, to keep him from casting spells or causing Madness on your party. Once the fight is over, head back to find his corpse and you can loot the Shattered Flail. Additionally, he’ll also have a tadpole for you to collect if you are unlocking your Illithid Powers.
