Find the Warped Headband of Intellect in baldurs gate 3 by defeating Lump the Enlightened and his ogres in the Blighted Village.
Walkthrough
- 1Travel west from the Nautiloid crash site to reach the Blighted Village.
- 2Locate a ruined house southwest of the Blighted Village waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination).
- 3Inside, you will find three ogres: Fank, Chock, and their leader, Lump the Enlightened.
- 4To avoid combat, you can attempt a Deception 10 check to convince Lump you are not marked by the cult of the Absolute.
- 5If combat is unavoidable or preferred, search the exterior of the house for a ladder to reach the roof.
- 6Position your party on the intact platforms above the ogres to gain a height advantage.
- 7Initiate combat with a sneak attack, ideally from Astarion or another Rogue, to wound Lump significantly before the ogres can act. An Assassin subclass Rogue may get two sneak attacks.
- 8Focus attacks on Lump, as he is the most dangerous due to his spellcasting abilities, including spells like Blur and Melf’s Acid Arrow.
- 9Be aware that Lump can catch spells due to his unnatural intellect.
- 10Engage Chock and Fank, who have lower stats and may waste turns throwing improvised weapons. They can eventually resort to throwing rocks for 2d6 damage and a potential knockback effect. Consider using the Bane spell to debuff them if needed.
- 11After defeating the ogres, descend and loot Lump the Enlightened to obtain the Warped Headband of Intellect.
- 12Be cautious of a patrolling goblin near the well who may join the fight as you descend.
Tips
- Fighting from the high ground deprives the ogres of their melee advantage and grants you a height bonus.
- The ogres have an Armor Class of 12 for Chock and Fank, and 13 for Lump.
- Looting Lump the Enlightened will yield the Warped Headband of Intellect.
- The Warped Headband of Intellect raises a character's Intelligence score to 17 if it is lower than 17. It has no effect on characters with a naturally higher Intelligence.
- Be aware that a patrolling goblin near the well might intervene when you descend after the fight.
