Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 is already an unhinged experience at the best of times, but one mod has come along to make the game even more nutty than usual. Following mods that take players on a custom space-bound campaign or a mod that allows players to become Pokemon masters, one mod allows players to summon almost any creature in the game as their own party member.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s Ring of Summon More
Released for both PC and console, TGLie’s Ring of Summon More is a mod that gives players a more powerful variant of the “Find Familiar” spell. The spell adds a “Magic Ring” into a players’ inventory that gives them the ability to summon “over 300 characters” that can be used as allies.
With frequent updates coming to the mod to add even more creatures to summon, the Ring of Summon More is an incredibly overpowered and even more incredibly fun addition to the sandbox of Baldur’s Gate 3.
“This is not the final stage yet,” the modder told fans on Mod.io. “More characters will be added in the future.”
Right now, players can summon almost every character and creature in the game with the latest updates adding The Dark Urge, Butler of Bhaal, Withers, Raphael, Rabbit and more to be summoned and used as allies across the entire game.
With over 300 creatures available, almost every major character/entity can be summon, from skeletons and zombies to Nine-Fingers Keene and Mystra. Hey, maybe having Mystra and Gale fighting alongside each other can help ease some of their relationship woes? You can also summon Czador Szarr to fight alongside Astarion if you’re some kind of cruel snake.
With almost everything available as your weapon, you can pummel through goblin camps with a Dominated Red Dragon at your side or infest the titular city of Baldur’s Gate with an army of frogs and mice. It’s unbridled chaos to the nth degree.
Of course, there is one downside to the Ring of Summon More mod in Baldur’s Gate 3: performance. Depending on what you’re summoning and how many of them you are summoning, it’s not only Faerun that’s at risk of destruction, but your framerate as well. If you want to summon a plague of rats to scurry along the streets in Act 3, you’re more than welcome to, but your FPS will suffer for it.
