One thing to keep in mind with the Deva mace is to not use it in the House of Hope, or at least be careful using them, because everyone there deflects radiant damage back at you as fire damage. So you can end up killing yourself using that mace pretty quickly there.
Alternatively you can have your strongest character (str 18 or higher) just pick up the body of the Deva. When the body is in your inventory simply click on the main hand weapon slot of the character you want to equip the mace, and it will appear under the list of available weapons to equip. No rest required.
You can put Items out of your Inventory into the chests and loot them again. You will get the curse again and can get infinite mace this way. Also: If you just put the corpse into your inventory, clear your weaponslot and go into your weaponslot, you should be able to see the weapon of the deva. Equip it and you have it always guaranteed and arent required to short/long rest.
A bit late but if you wanna get infinite money, sell expensive stuff to a merchant you don't care about and in your skills tab you can find non-lethal skill toggle and knock out the merchant, and loot all of the stuff you sold. Repeat for infinite monies
Yeah I just tried it and it's now update 7 I got middle chest with necklace stood in street and cured self, then Deva came, flaming fist and steel watcher took it out. I got lvl up but deva empty of anything.you can see them using it but they don't have it on them when they are dead.
@@briannacarmenita1698 it ended up working for me for the mase. have somebody pick up the deva body then the mase should be in your inventory. make sure you don’t have a weapon equipped when you equip the mase
Ok, So I figured out the issue, for anyone else having this. I was using my main character to loot the chest and get the curse. Always spawned a cambion. The gnome up top was mad at my main character, so I tried with another character, and it spawned a Deva. So issue resolved.
i think the deva hammer have been "nerfed" 2 patch ago. There's no bag leave on the ground, and command: drop won't work on them too. But you can pick up the corpse and right click on your weapon slot and equip the hammer. IDK if that work after patch #4 tho. It's no weapon enchantment. So you may want to use it with the gloves sold by Dammon at act3 which give +2 attack rolls and damage, and enchant it with the glaive sold at Moonrise tower which give elemental weapon (+1 attack roll). There're actually 5 chests in the basement. But if you really really want more, you can attack the monk and you will get the curse too. Don't kill it, use non-lethal damage to knock him out so you can come back and attack him again for more curse/hammer.
Imo it's probably not supposed to deal 4d8 DMG. Somebody was probably working overtime at night, checking balance and shit, looked at a 4, it kinda looked like a 1 in the font they are using voila, we got OP mace. It's definitely not supposed to be this way since it's one of the more powerful weapons in the game and you can have more than one.
@@HalIOfFamer No, it's not supposed to be lootable. The 4d8 is a feature of the deva itself, not the weapon, and this is how they coded that into the game. Hence why it doesn't show up a deva's inventory usually, and it has no rarity (shown by its name being white unlike literally every other magic weapon with has some kind of colored name to indicate its rarity. This is a bug, straight up.
bug is something not working in software glitch is something not working hardware wise this is a cheese/loophole that they probably see, now that is a video and fix
@@nickrubin7312 I feel the need to point out that this *is* software not working properly. The mace is supposed to be hidden, but the code for that stops working under specific conditions when it shouldn't.
@@The_Crimson_Witch I would agree if i would've know conditions that were implemented > The mace is supposed to be hidden, but the code for that stops working under specific conditions when it shouldn't That's sounds somewhat true, however I don't know - if the mace supposed to be hidden - I don't see a code I see conditions and result. Does it look like it isn't working as intended? Actually now, I don't fucking know. If I knew for certain that mace supposed to be hidden (had certain flag or attribute value), 100%, however in this case it looks like there is just no behavior/triggers implemented when "specific conditions" apply, so systemically game doesn't break and throw and exception, it just results into normal item behavior. If it should or not - most certainly not, but if this a bug (the code not working) or not programmed code (nothing is there), that's the question. Anyways, it should be fixed, unless it is specifically working as intended (for some weird fucking reason), or Larian decides to leave this meme (for some fucking reason).
@@xen3433 you can get her and not be evil . 1st time you see her beat her up but use non lethal dmg. she will show up later and you will be able to save her
If you have a cleric, you can just cast Planar Ally and summon a deva. Select your deva, press "H" to open the alchemy menu. With it open, press "I" to switch to inventory; you'll then see deva's inventory with the mace equipped. Drag it from the weapon slot to an empty inventory square and then drag it again from the inventory to the ground. You can repeat this method to generate op maces to your heart's content! 😃
I can't get this method to work. Hitting "H" doesn't bring up alchemy for Deva, only player characters. Did this get fixed in recent patches? Under Notable features for the Deva it says Permanently Armed. I'll try Wolfheart's method.
@@Beavisan It worked for me on Patch 3 (version 4.1.1.3767641). Admittedly, I've never tried it on Patch 4, so maybe they fixed it. This is kind of a glitch that you could do this though; it was also possible to get myrmidon weapons this way, and if you used abilities granted by them, there were missing animations for player characters. Larian probably didn't want this to be doable.
Nope just did it still works, you just have to be stupid quick to quickly pick it up Then press tab and swap it with the weapon you are using I just equipped a weapon i didn't care for early greys ect
Dual wield Deva Mace as a Paladin, Savage Attacker feat, 24 Strength, Killers Sweetheart, Luck of the Far Realms and Perilous Stakes = GG. Easy one turn kill on Raphael, Ansur and the red dragon at the end.😅 Just make sure if you will kill your target with a swing, best use your off hand attack first so you don't waste it.
I did basically exactly this with shadowheart and gave her all my best gear, and man oh man did she basically instantly become stuck to my backline because using her felt like cheating
When i saw the deva mace. I was like, is that a mistake ? But no. Just insane damage for free. And radiant damage are just completely broken against everything 😅
Dethrone is another good spell you get out of the necromancy of thay quest similar to the other spell mentioned in this video I comes from the book you read as a scroll and you can copy it to your spell book and use it once per short rest huge necrotic damage
Hey Wolfheaft! I just watched ep.7 of your evil tactician playthrough and I just wanted to say that your style of playing bd3 is by far the most entertaining that I have seen so far 😄
I bought the bow....and I did every Sorcerous Sundry chest, And I did kill a deva but i may have sold that Deva Mace!! Not everything non shiny is worth giving up. Great video!!
I came here straight from the BG3 credits I make it a point to sit through and read everything for credits and for a game like BG3 I made doubly sure I did just that.
Wish I knew about the deva mace before. I just finished my 3rd game. I had Jaheira duel wielding with the duel wielding feat as a fighter/druid (actually just 11 levels of fighter- druid just doesn't make for a good martial class- but at least I can say she was a fighter/druid in BG1 and 2 so it wasn't too out of character). I had a spear and something else in her other hand at the end, I don't remember what.
I limit myself to one Deva mace wielder at most. Got to, or it gets out of hand. Throw it as your bound weapon with a barbarian/fighter with tavern brawler? Nuts.
Alternatively you can just pick up the body with your highest strength character. When the Deva's body is in your inventory you can simply equip the mace by clicking on the weapon slot of the character you wish to equip it on.
So I am doing this in my game and the devas are not spawning. These horned fiends are spawning carrying basic polearms. Is this patched or something? Edit: I figured it out. If you remove the curse with the same character that got cursed you spawn a demon which does not have the mace.
what in the holy hells. makes you wonder if its a curse or a blessing. If I didn't have the greatsword from ansur on my only meele character I would have definitely grabbed it.
pick up the Deva corpse, then use weapon swap by selecting your current weapon from inventory, unequip it, select the mace to equip, drop the corpse, way easier than the long rest and rng of what comes up on the corpse
@@christopherturner813 this method was patched out; Still should be able to pick up corpses just need enough strength/inventory carry capacity, but the way of getting the mace is gone.
idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but you don't need to long rest for the deva mace, just pick up the deva entirely, go to inventory, click on your melee slot for the window with all equippable items and the mace should show up there, equipped under deva. you can then just equip it on yourself and discard the body. rinse n repeat for however many you need, works every time also right after killing and looting a deva, if the chest is empty, put something in it and loot it again, you should get cursed again
It's not pronounced that way in D&D though......yes I confirmed this long ago by writing Ed Greenwood (or whatever his last name was).... many years ago
I have killed 4 of those Devas and everytime I go back to check their bodies are still there and as they haven't 'decomposed' there is nothing to pick up. Does it matter on what type of ground they die? Or am I just unlucky? I wonder if I can pick them up and take them to camp... I will have to try that.
@@WolfheartFPS OK took 2 back to camp... they gave up their maces. The other 2 were in the water, had to teleport them back to the beach, and then take them to camp. One nights sleep and they are still there, but I hope that after another night, I might get my reward.
BG3 is rather easy even on tactician. I’ve self imposed some limits, e.g. no create water+lightning, no pushing to chasms etc.. The problem is what is OP is a bit different in each act and I wouldn’t want to completely lose the experience being powerful. I just want the experience Larian was aiming for, not the unbalanced one I’ve drifted to. Is it possible to get a video about balancing the game?
This is not surprising from larian. Dos2 was so horrifically balanced that anything after act 2 became tediously easy to the point of being unplayable. They do not know how to make a tightly balanced difficult game for the players on a 10th playthrough.
1. Balance isn't only about difficulty, it is also balancind classes and subclasses that they are all playable and enjoyable by players. For instance I've found DOS2 harder and harder at peaks closer to the end, not "tediously easy". 2. See, you say easy, now read all the myriad of posts at the beginning, and still going, how players found it hard even on explorer. That's why explorer was made even more easy, because people complained so much. It brought 2 audiences, and the broader audience doesn't find the game easy, it is hard to read, level up, understand what's going on, etc. 3. Larian likes their game broken and cheesed, so pushing to chasms, water+lightning, all that, is fair play within the implemented systems Do I want additional difficulty personally? Yes. But I also understand that this is the need of hardcore minority of players (I add this to what I say, but it objectively, non-questionably so, a minority of hardcore cRPG fans, that are maybe 1/8 of game's audience, others struggled and left or endured and maybe learned or just endured with tears)
@@nickrubin7312 that's why I say larian is bad at game balance. Explorer is too hard and tactician is too easy. This means they failed to design a well-balanced experience for either end of the skill spectrum. I still love the game, but it is definitely lacking that final polish which makes it feel fully wrought.
Yeah when even I can beat tactician I know a game is easy. Because I get lazy about micromanagement. And you can beat it without even doing that. The only fights that gave me trouble were Raphael and House of Grief main fight (I fought everyone), but even then I prevailed. DOS 2 was way harder for me. Keep in mind I only recently played DOS 2, which is the definitive edition where XP is a little harder to come by. It can be easy in parts, but has a few difficulty spikes.
I got the curse remove the curse fought the diva and did the short and long rest both times there was no pouch spawned does it matter where I fight the creature at?
Cool thing that yu can still enjoy the Game.. becouse thanks to Karlach and Halsin i had to Gave up on this Game.. they Broke the entire Thing just to Please there Fans.. Urray! Great Larian.. Great Job.. Keep at it and yu will hit Rock Botton.

Yeah when even I can beat tactician I know a game is easy. Because I get lazy about micromanagement. And you can beat it without even doing that. The only fights that gave me trouble were Raphael and House of Grief main fight (I fought everyone), but even then I prevailed. DOS 2 was way harder for me. Keep in mind I only recently played DOS 2, which is the definitive edition where XP is a little harder to come by. It can be easy in parts, but has a few difficulty spikes.
Killed the Deva a few times, didn't notice the mace. Thanks for the tip!
Keep in mind it only shows up in the pouch after you take a long rest. Cheers!
I think this got patched out
It was patched

No need for long rest
Unequip your weapon, grab the body, go to select a main weapon and you can steal it of the body. Then deop body
It works for me, thanks
