Lighting a torch in Baldur’s Gate 3 will give you the ability to see in the dark especially if you have a human character in the game who does not possess the ability to see in the dark. Getting your hands on a torch isn’t that difficult but the game does not clearly state how to light a torch. This guide will show you how to light a torch in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How To Light A Torch In Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 allows you to form a party of different races of characters and each character will bring something new to the adventure that you’re about to set on. There are tons of things that you will discover but as you’ll see as you progress in the game there are a lot of dungeons and you won’t be able to see properly if you do not have a lit torch with you.

Thankfully, lighting a torch is easy peasy in Baldur’s Gate 3, all you have to do is take a member from your party, any member works for that matter and equip a torch to them. There are certain weapons and shields that you cannot un-equip but you will see this only with a few characters only.

Once you have the torch equip, check the bottom part of your screen, left to where the portrait of the character is, there you will find the DIP button.

Click on it and then proceed to click on a light source, i.e. a chandelier or a burning torch nearby, and viola your torch will be lit in Baldur’s Gate 3.

This is a fun little mechanic that looks pretty neat every time you do it in the game but we wish that the game would hint towards it in some way rather than just leaving all the players in the dark.
