Spellplague is a hostile Aberration character in Baldur's Gate 3 who may appear in a specific combat encounter during the finale of Act Three.

Gameplay

• If Gale is in the party, and the player has decided to side with the Emperor rather than to free Orpheus, this enemy takes part in the "Atop the Netherbrain" combat encounter that occurs during the finale of Confront the Elder Brain.
• Notable abilities include:
  • The Mage Armour condition, which is applied to this enemy from the opening turn of the fight, rather than being cast during the fight.
  • Counterspell, which this enemy will cast as a Reaction on the player character, or their allies, on whatever spell is first cast by one of these characters during the opening turn of the fight.
  • Magic Missile, Polymorph

Notes

• The Spellplague also refers to an important historic phenomenon in the Forgotten Realms setting.
