Veteran Gish are a stronger archetype of githyanki Gish characters encountered throughout Baldur's Gate 3.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

As they are Battlemages, that blend arcane spellcasting with melee combat, gish soldiers are very strong versatile combatants.

They are usually encountered either in the Knights of the Shield Hideout in Baldur's Gate or in the Upper City during Act Three.
