Baldur’s Gate 3 (III): How to Shove
During combat, locate the Shoving Hand icon on the screen. It might appear as a button or an icon representing a hand pushing something. Click or select the Shoving Hand icon to initiate the shove action. Choose the target enemy you want to shove. This should be an enemy that is within close range of your character. Once you select the target, your character will attempt to shove the enemy. Shoving consumes one Bonus Action, so keep in mind that you might have a limited number of Bonus Actions per turn, depending on your character’s class and abilities. But that is not the end. The best part is that the units you summon can also shove! Well, not all units, but some, like the Mage hand. Now that you have understood the shoving mechanic, let us look at various ways using which you can make the most of it.
- You can really mess up enemies by shoving them off a cliff or a high place. The fall damage can be brutal, making it easier to finish them off.
- Get creative and use shove to push enemies into traps like flaming ground or spikes. It’s a sneaky way to deal extra damage, but you’ll need some good positioning.
- Are your allies taking a nap in battle due to spells? No problem! Give ’em a friendly shove to wake ’em up. It won’t hurt them, so it’s a safe wake-up call.
- If your companions are stuck in a tough spot and need to be rescued, shove can be helpful here. Just be careful not to push them into more trouble!
- Get crafty outside of combat, too! Use shove to move objects and clear obstacles, or set up traps for your enemies. When you’re not in a fight, you don’t have any limits to using the Shove action, so have fun with it!
Well, there you have it. These are some of the ways in which you can use shove efficiently in Baldur’s Gate 3. Of course, you can get extremely creative with it and find out some other uses or perhaps even a glitch—who knows? Anyway, that is all the information we have on this matter.
