| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
Move the Right Analog-stick and the flames surrounding "Loading" will also move.
Start with Onyx SwordAfter you have completed the game once and have saved the game with the Onyx Sword in your possession (for example, with the human), start a new game with a new character (for example, the dwarf) and save. Import the human, drop the Onyx Sword and any other good items, then import the dwarf and pick them up. Note you can do this with any character and any weapon.
Duplicate itemsSave the game, then drop the items to be duplicated from the inventory of your current character. Press Start and choose to change your character. Import your character from the previously saved game. The game will bring in your character with all items in inventory at the time of your save, and allow you to collect the duplicates that are on the ground.
Save the game and use a Recall Potion to return to the Elfsong Tavern. Drop all your expensive items, then import your saved player. Pick your items up and sell them. You can do this as many times as needed, have to save each time before you import again or you will lose the gold you have made.
If you have a high level character with many good items that you would like a new character to have, start a new game with the new character. Then, load the character with all the items as the second player. Then, drop the desired items on the floor to allow the new character to pick them up. Equip everything and sell off things that are not needed. Then, save the game and restart the Xbox. Play a new game with a new character and load the other new character (that has all the items) as the main character.
Easy experienceNote: You must constantly save your game in order to do this trick. At any time when you encounter a Boss, immediately save the game to a new file after defeating them. Press Start and load the game file that was saved immediately before you fought the Boss. After the game has loaded, press Start and go to "Characters". Import the character from the file that was saved when you defeated the Boss. You will now have a character with more experience, but will be able to fight the Boss again which results in lots of experience. Keep doing this every time you defeat the Boss to gain levels faster.
Carry more itemsThe game only checks how much you can carry when buying and picking up items. You can put on Rings Of Strength and an Amulet Of Strength, pick up man items, then take off the strength items and put on Rings Of Constitution for more HP or other rings and amulets to boost other stats. This works well when duplicating Extra Healing Potions so you can carry a large number of them through tough areas and to face end Bosses.
Lighter loadWhen you first begin the game, you are dressed with boots, gloves, and clothes - none of which have any defense value. Sell them to lighten your load by about 15 lbs. You may look a little funny without any clothes on, but your defense (Armor Class) will have remained the same.
Move fasterTo move faster, you can jump everywhere instead of walking. It will make the journey about one and a half times faster.
Easy targeting with a ranged weaponWhen using a ranged weapon such as a crossbow, press the (C-stick) (forward), then rotate it around to aim, all the time leaving it on its furthest axis.
Safe stashIf you drop items in a place populated by friendly people (in other words, people you are not allowed to attack, such as in the Elfsong Tavern), some if not all of the items dropped will be gone if you leave the screen and return later. However, items left in the company of monsters (such as in the Sewers) will always be there when you return. Apparently, the monsters are more trustworthy than the patrons of Baldur's Gate.
Resurrection in multi-player modeIf a player dies during multi-player mode, have the surviving player go the previous save point. Walk in the light surrounding the save point and they will be brought back. The character will be resurrected with all items, but at half hit points.
Sorcerer supermodelChoose the Elven Sorcerer, then talk to the bar owner and finish. When you are done, go to the menu and remove her clothes to see her in her underwear.
Crypt vase combinationIn level 1 of The Crypt, the combination for the vases are: blue, green, yellow.
Freeze ghostsWhen you are in the Crypts or Hall Of Remembrance as Adrianna or Drizzt, use the Ball Of Ice. Wait until a ghost is next to a wall then shoot it at the wall. The ghost will freeze and keep going straight without moving.
Easy moneyThis trick can be used at any point in the game. Save the game near a shop. Drop all your expensive items, then load your saved character to the same location. After the loading screen, pick up all your items and sell them. Do this again in the exact same order. You will get a lot of money.
