Grenades

From bg3.wiki

Grenades are Consumables that can be used with the Throw action to deal damage, inflict Conditions, create Surfaces, or produce other effects. Most Coatings, Elixirs, and Potions, when thrown, can also act as Grenades.

A list of Grenades in the Alchemy window.

Most grenades trigger their respective effects when destroyed, usually through the 1Damage TypesBludgeoning damage dealt to light items when thrown. However, grenades dropped in the world can also be triggered by any other sources of damage, such as other grenades, attacks, and damaging surfaces (e.g. Fire (area)). Multiple grenades in one item stack detonate identically to a single grenade, and as such placed grenades should first be split into single items prior to usage.

When placed in destructible containers, multiple grenades can be thrown at once by throwing the container. However, the dispersed grenades won't take damage from the throw and will need to be manually triggered by a secondary damage source.

Grenades can be looted, bought from vendors, or crafted with the Alchemy system.

Regular Grenades

Grenades that can be commonly found across the world, bought from traders and/or crafted with Alchemy.
