Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Mage Hand?

Does it do anything at all? I am guessing that it hasn't been coded yet to open things or grab things from dead bodies?

All it seems to do thus far is follow me around.

You can control it like a familiar no? So it can float through dangerous areas and throw and shove stuff, etc.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I can't seem to select it.

It's above the caster's portrait. Double-click it to get control. It's also a little finicky.

Oh... That is it. I was looking at the wrong portrait. It is the ones on the left. Yeah, that changes everything! Thanks!

I was able to use it to throw that necromancy book through the fire from gargoyles so that I can pick it up easily. Unfortunately, it does not allow you to pull levers, one obvious use on that druid grove elevator.

Only thing it does well - throwing objects and small/tiny creatures (depends on weight) - as Main Action
and pushing as bonus action
and drag-n-drop objects

This is OP? but still can't grab items from the body and push buttons - yikes
