Baldur’s Gate 3 offers a plethora of accessories to enhance your gameplay experience. One such accessory that stands out, especially for spellcasters, is the Ring of Absolute Force. This guide explains in detail how to acquire this uncommon accessory and its unique benefits.

Features and Attributes of the Ring of Absolute Force

Before diving into the acquisition process, let’s understand what the Ring of Absolute Force offers:

Overview

  • Accessory Type: Ring
  • Proficiency Requirement: N/A
  • Weight: 0.05 kg
  • Value: 40
  • Rarity: Uncommon
  • Location: Dropped by Sergeant Thrinn in Grymforge.

Unique Bonuses

The ring comes with specific bonuses that make it highly desirable for spellcasters:

  1. Absolute’s Tempest: This feature allows the wearer, if bearing the Absolute’s Brand, to deal an additional 1 Thunder damage when using Thunder-damaging spells and attacks.
  2. Thunderwave Spell: The ring grants a free cast of the Thunderwave spell per Short Rest. Thunderwave is a potent spell that releases a forceful wave, pushing creatures and objects away and causing Thunder damage.

The Process of Acquiring the Ring

Reach Grymforge and Locate Sergeant Thrinn

To acquire the Ring of Absolute Force, you must first navigate to Grymforge. Upon docking at this location, you’ll receive news of a cave-in incident. True Soul Nere is trapped behind rubble and deep gnome slaves are attempting to clear the way under Sergeant Thrinn’s supervision.

Directions to the Cave-in

  1. After docking at the Abandoned Refuge, head slightly south to find the Underdark-Grymforge waypoint.
  2. Continue further south to locate the cave-in, close to the Underdark-Ancient Forge waypoint.

Decision Making: How to Acquire the Ring

You have two primary options to get the ring from Sergeant Thrinn:

  1. Direct Confrontation: Opt to attack Sergeant Thrinn as soon as possible. Keep in mind, this will bring her allies in the Abandoned Refuge into the fray.
  2. Strategic Timing: Consider aiding the Druegar to free True Soul Nere first. True Soul Nere drops another valuable item, the Disintegrating Night Walkers, which makes the decision more complex.

No matter which route you choose, the final step remains the same: defeating Sergeant Thrinn to claim the Ring of Absolute Force.

Concluding Remarks

The Ring of Absolute Force offers a blend of potent bonuses and functionalities, making it a coveted item for spellcasters in Baldur’s Gate 3. Whether you choose to confront Sergeant Thrinn immediately or take a more strategic route involving True Soul Nere, the end result remains the same: the acquisition of a valuable in-game asset that can greatly enhance your gameplay experience.
