A List of Baldurs Gate Cheats For the PC

Baldurs Gate Cheats

If you find yourself frustrated by aspects of Baldurs gate, for instance unable to progress in a certain situation or unable to find a particular item, you have various ways of overcoming these situations by cheating.

This article lists some Baldurs gate cheats which are initiated by modifying the configuration file, pressing a key while in-game and more. After having modified the “ini” file you can then bring up the console while you are playing. Continue reading for a list of Baldurs gate cheats and how to bring up the console.

Bringing Up the Console for Cheat Codes

First navigate to your Baldurs gate directory (i.e. C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Baldur’s Gate) and locate the file “Baldur.ini.” A file with the “ini” extension is typically a configuration file which contains legible settings used by the game; this then means it can easily be edited like a text document.

Open the file by clicking on it, and then find the section “Game Options.” Underneath it type “Cheats=1,” thus setting the cheat flag to on. Now you are able to use the console in-game by pressing CNTRL and TAB.

You can type these item numbers in the console to do a number of things, such as conjure up an item, raise your stats or cast a spell. Some useful ones:
