You may find yourself wanting to change your appearance along the way, adding a scar or a new tattoo to reflect the perils of your journey. Luckily for players, Larian Studios added a way for players to alter what their characters look like with Patch 3\u2014and it\u2019s a simple process. If you\u2019re looking to change your hairstyle, tattoos, or even face shape, you can do so from the safety of camp. Customizing your appearance through the Magic Mirror in BG3 To change your character\u2019s appearance in BG3 after the initial creation menu, first head to camp. In your camp, you\u2019ll find an item called the Magic Mirror, which will appear on your map with its own unique icon, as shown in the image below. Visit this mirror\u2019s location and interact with it to find the customization menu. This menu will look very similar to the initial creation screen when you first made your Tav, although a few options won't be available. Most aspects of your appearance can be changed. There are a few details you can\u2019t alter, however, namely your race, class, and body type. Everything else\u2014including your gender identity, skin color, makeup, hairstyle, and body art\u2014are all fair game. You can even change your name in BG3 if Tav (or whatever name you initially picked) no longer suits you. If you're looking to switch classes, though, you'll need to have found Withers and added him to your camp. Once you've done so, you can speak to him to pick a new class. There's no limit to the number of changes you can make, either. If you're like me and you're deeply committed to the roleplaying elements the game offers, you can add a new scar after every fight, or pick a different haircut after breaking up with your romance option. You can also change your Hireling's appearance through the Magic Mirror. If you try to alter the looks of one of the Origin characters\u2014like Gale, Jaheira, or Shadowheart\u2014the game won't let you. Instead, they'll say a short line of dialogue indicating they can't interact with the mirror. All Magic Mirror camp locations in BG3 There's a whopping 17 different campsites in BG3, meaning you'll need to find the Magic Mirror each time you change maps if you're wanting to change your appearance more than once. Locating the mirror is as simple as opening your map with the M key on PC or start menu button on controller and looking for the mirror icon. But if for some reason it doesn't automatically appear on your map or you can't find it by conventional means, we've got you covered. Here are all the various campsites, as well as the locations for the Magic Mirror in each one. Image Camp Location Act One - Main Camp Lower right side of camp, across the bridge. Act One - Overgrown Chapel Next to Withers in the room on the left-hand side of the map. Act One - Owlbear Den\/Zhentarim Hideout Middle right of the camp site, beneath Astarian's location. Act One - Beneath the Blighted Village Top left side of the camp, next to Withers. Act One - Whispering Depths Lower lefthand corner of the campsite. Act One - Grymforge Bottom left of the map, east of Halsin and Shadowheart's locations. Act One - The Underdark To the right of Gale's location in the middle of the camp. Act One - Mountain Pass Bottom right of the camp, east from Lae'Zel, overlooking the cliff. Act One - Cr\u00e8che Y'llek In the middle top area of the camp. Act Two - Last Light Inn North of where your Traveler's Chest is. Act Two - Shadow-Cursed Lands In the abandoned house up the stairs in the northwestern part of the map. Act Two - Moonrise Towers In the bottom left of the camp. Act Three - Wyrm's Lookout In the lower lefthand side of the camp. Act Three
