Baldur’s Gate 3 boasts an extensive collection of armor and clothing items, each with unique stats, effects, and bonuses. Amidst this collection, there’s a pair of boots that stands out not for its overpowering perks or high damage potential, but for an amusing gimmick – the Slinging Shoes.
Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the Slinging Shoes and how to obtain them in Baldur’s Gate 3!
How to Obtain the Slinging Shoes in BG3
To make the Slinging Shoes yours, you’ll need to purchase them from Gale’s winged cat (Tressym), Tara, in the Lower City—during Act 3. However, it’s not a straightforward visit-and-buy scenario; there’s a bit more to it.
Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Pick Up the Missing Letter Quest: Begin by acquiring the quest in Rivington, just outside Lower City.
- Progress with the Quest: Follow the quest instructions and converse with Tara on the rooftop of the Open Hand Temple, but make sure Gale is in your party.
- Move to Devil’s Fee: After meeting Tara on the Open Hand Temple rooftop, she relocates to the roof of the Devil’s Fee, just north of the Lower City Central Wall. Visit her there and purchase the Hat of the Sharp Caster, the only item she offers at that time.
- Visit Highberry’s Home: Tara shifts once more and now resides on the roof of Highberry’s Home, north of Sorcerer’s Sundries. Here, you’ll find the Slinging Shoes available for purchase when selecting the trade option.
However, it’s worth noting that:
- Tara doesn’t accept standard Gold as payment; instead, she prefers fish or magical items.
- If you can’t find her in the mentioned locations, try going elsewhere and return after a Long Rest to locate her.
So, what makes these shoes special? Well, while you can wear the Slinging Shoes like any other boots in BG3, their true power lies in using them as a throwable weapon! When hurled at a target, these enchanted shoes deal 2D4 Psychic damage on a hit before returning like a boomerang. As an added bonus, wearing these magical shoes also gives a +1 boost to Dexterity checks.
