Hey, everyone!

Today we are releasing our biggest Gift Bag yet, The Four Relics of Rivellon!

As always, it’s delivered directly to your version of DOS2 and at no extra cost, via an update released alongside this text!

In The Four Relics of Rivellon, you’ll embark upon new quests in search of four ancient armour sets imbued with magical properties. You’ll face new foes, fight brand new fights, and even take on an entirely new Undead Dragon boss. Discover new lore, new loot, and new narration on the hunt for distant relics.

What you see of course depends on the choices you make during your adventure. Be sure to check out the trailer!



The four sets of armour are:

Captain Armour
A set of armour that can dominate the minds of those around you. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.

Vulture Armour
A light set of armour based off of dwarven rituals. Each part of the set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground, while the complete set gives the wearer a pair of permanent, vulture-like wings.

Contamination Armour

An ancient set of armour created from magic thought lost long ago. Each piece offers resistance to poison, while the entire set grants immunity to poison along with a special ability to spawn exploding spores that will damage enemies in combat.

Devourer Armour

A set of armour said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the armour will mark a certain target in range. Any attacks on this target cannot miss and will deal extra damage.

The new content will be available in any new game you start and does not affect your achievements.

Remember, if you want exclusive updates on all things Larian, Divinity and Baldur’s Gate 3, make sure you’re signed up to the Larian Gazette at the following link: Larian Gazette


Happy adventures,


The Larian Crew

Please, help me. I need to start a brand new campaign to get access to this or not?

I already started my new campaign and got to Act 2. It would be sad to start over again.

I'm a bit confused. Automatically or do I have to click on the gift bag icon? I haven't used any of the prior stuff; other then the constantly on spirit vision, it just didn't appeal to me. I'd like to try the new content but really don't like the idea of the combat randomizer. Will all of this be included or just the latest changes (which I prefer)?

The Four Relics will be automatically included in new games; the gift bag mods still need to be manually enabled on an individual basis, if you wish to do so.

Question - does this apply to the Nintendo Switch version as well, or is it coming later, or ... ? I have played on Mac & PC, but barely started a replay on the Switch before other games arrived so would love to get this content if possible (or hold my replay if it is arriving later)

So question are those armor sets valid for late game? Like does its' stats increase with my party lvling up? Because from what I found one of armors in in Fort Joy map so it can get rly bad quite fast as far as armor & magic armor go.

The Four Relics will be automatically included in new games started after the update.
Exploring Fort Joy, you should come across references to a certain captain and his armour, in Braccus' tower, for example, and there is a new cave...
a little north east of the Winter Dragon Slane

Interesting... smile A cave you say?
I found another place, a wrecked ship near certain turtles, near the very beginning of Fort Joy. Don't enter happily fast... XD

No other game has rewarded my low impulse control with so many glorious unintended consequences.

As far as I can tell, the game won't let you go there.

EDIT: Dog gone it! I thought I used quotes. This refers to "Sir Random"'s second hidden statement.

Is there by chance a way to turn OFF the visuals for the Captain Armour Set? It's a bit much. Cheers.

I was overdue for a new game anyways, lol. That said, do we know if there is going to be a #6, and if it too will require a fresh start?

Well, I'm nearly through with the Joy/swamp and no mention of Captain's armor. Opened/read everything in the Braccus tower. Since I'm only playing again to see what the changes are, I'm concerned. In some ways, there are changes but I also tagged a few options that I didn't use in the past. It seems unaligned/allies are quicker to help you - when I fought the void salamanders (?), even Gratiana joined in. Almost lost one of the new merchants in the process. Is there any way to tell if it is actually working?

On the Fort Joy beach,
in the hidden alcove where you can find Fane, climb the vines there, go past the camp and the turtles and you should find a grounded ship that you can board after climbing some rocks, that is new in games started since the last update.

One of the soul jars in Braccus's tower should have been for the captain related to the Captain's armour.
