Some of these areas are hidden behind Cracked Walls, though, and you'll need to first destroy them. These walls can be tough to spot at first, since they blend into the background. They're easily identified by massive cracks, though, and you'll be able to click on them to see their description. Unfortunately for players new to the Dungeons & Dragons\u00ad world, it may not be readily apparent how you\u2019re supposed to break these structures. If you\u2019ve hit a wall and don\u2019t know how to destroy it, know you\u2019re not alone. Here\u2019s how to break Cracked Walls in BG3. Cracked Walls resistances in BG3, explained If you hover over a Cracked Wall, a health bar and nameplate appear. It's apparent that you can destroy these barriers, but you\u2019ll need specific spells or weapons to do so; most attacks will be utterly ineffective against these structures. Cracked Walls resist most types of damage, including the following lightning, cold, and fire, just to name a few. To view the full list of resistances, you can right-click on a wall and select the \"Examine\" option. These elemental resistances cause any attacks using these types of effects to become completely nullified, so the only types of damage that will work against Cracked Walls are Force and Bludgeoning. You may have to prepare these spells in advance, too, so be sure to plan accordingly. These walls also have an effect called Sturdy, meaning you\u2019ll need to do at least 10 damage to be able to do any damage at all to it. If you have a weapon that does a range of damage with the high end just barely surpassing 10, you may have to hit the wall a few times before you'll deal any damage to the structure. How to break Cracked Walls in BG3 To break cracked walls in BG3, you'll need to do a lot of Bludgeoning or Force damage, either with special magic or appropriate weapons. For example, a mace or hammer can bludgeon a cracked wall down. If you're lacking in blunt weapons, try certain spells (Force and Radiant Element spells work well) like Magic Missle and Eldritch Blast. You can also use bombs to destroy cracked walls. Which weapons can break Cracked Walls in BG3? You\u2019ll need a bludgeoning weapon\u2014not something that pierces or slashes. Maces, hammers, and mauls all fit into this category. It\u2019s not just the type of weapon that matters, however, but also the level. You need a weapon that can do ample damage. You can view how much damage a weapon is capable of by hovering over it in your inventory or weapon bar. Bludgeoning weapons that can break Cracked Walls include the following: Mauls Maces Hammers Early spells that can break Cracked Walls Some of the Force spells that will work include Eldritch Blast and Magic Missile. If you're early into the game, I recommend bringing Will, since he knows Eldritch Blast. I used Wyll's Eldritch Blast for an easy way to break the Cracked Wall. Video by Dot Esports The first Cracked Wall I came across in BG3 was above the heavy oak doors at the Goblin Camp. I tried to attack it with my custom Ranger and got nowhere. Luckily, I had the Warlock Wyll at my side who knows Eldritch Blast, and within a couple of attacks, the wall was destroyed, as shown in the video above.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BG3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925464"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=925464"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1368325,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925464\/revisions\/1368325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1029383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=925464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=925464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=925464"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=925464"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=925464"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=925464"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=925464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
