If you aren't using these elixirs in Baldur's Gate 3, you should be.

While this hugely powerful concoctioncan be obtained as early as The Underdark in Act 1 of the game, it won’t be available to buy wholesale from specific vendors until you hit level nine. Even then, stock is semi-random, so they can have anywhere from zero to two. Let’s explore where to find these tremendously useful potions.

What Do Elixirs Of Cloud Giant Strength Do?

With a similar effect to its little brother, the Elixir of Hill Giant Strength, which sets characters’ Strength scores to 21, the Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength sets the Strength of whatever character that drinks it to a whopping 27.

Derryth Bonecloak

Quartermaster Talli

Last Light Inn

Perhaps the best vendor in all of Act 2, Talli stocks Elixirs of Cloud Giant Strength semi-randomly starting at level nine, alongside a bevy of terrific equipment including the eminently useful Cloak of Protection, among others.

Hoarding Merregon

Gauntlet of Shar

A Merregon vendor that flanks the Orthon Yurgir in the famed Sharran test of faith, this vendor stocks the elixirs, but he can be easily missed if combat is immediately chosen with the Orthon upon venturing into his lair.

Roah Moonglow

Moonrise Towers

The shifty halfling trader who simply goes where the money goes makes her second appearance at Moonrise Towers in Act 2 after hanging out at the Goblin Camp in Act 1. This time around, her stock is better – as evidenced by sometimes having Cloud Giant Strength Elixirs.

Larian Studios has released a number of statistics revolving around player actions in BG3, and some are hard to believe.

Act 3 Locations

Players will mostly be buying Elixirs of Cloud Giant Strength by this point in the game (especially since vendors restock every Long Rest), but there is one other way to nab this rare elixir. Read on to explore.

Mattis

Requisitioned Barn in Rivington

The lovably mischievous Tiefling child who tried to pickpocket in Act 1 and swindle with faux-enchanted items in Act 1 and 2 returns with his stock of “useful” items, but this time with a twist: He will sometimes stock Elixirs of Cloud Giant Strength.

Note that all these vendors will restock after the player levels up or Long Rests, so going on a stroll through the main regions of Baldur’s Gate might be worthwhile for players desperately seeking these little libations.

Popper

Circus of Last Days in Rivington

This delightfully dapper kobold will stock Cloud Giant Strength Elixirs as well as plenty of other “treatos” for the discerning shopper. Also, if trying to complete the area-related Find Dribbles the Clown quest, the clown’s severed hand can be found on a plate behind Popper. Tasty!

Traveler Griska

Fraygo’s Flophouse in Wyrm’s Crossing

A weary traveler staying at one of the less expensive lodgings in Baldur’s Gate has a chance to restock Cloud Giant Strength Elixirs every Long Rest.

Entharl Danthelon

Danthelon’s Dancing Axe in Wyrm’s Crossing

The proprietor of Danthelon’s Dancing Axe is part of companion Jaheira’s questline and seems to be a good sort, though he bristles if you don’t want to browse his extensive selection right away.

Stylin’ Horst

The Velveteen Elixir in Wyrm’s Crossing

Situated right above Danthelon’s Dancing Axe, this well-appointed apothecary stocks plenty of potions, elixirs, and alchemical ingredients.

Derryth Bonecloak & Baelen Bonecloak*

Bonecloak's Apothecary in Lower City

With a store very close to the Lower City Central Wall waypoint, these two characters return in Act 3.

Depending on choices made in Act 2 regarding the incredibly rare mushroom Noblestalk, they may or may not stock Elixirs of Cloud Giant Strength. If they do, though, Derryth will be the only one of these vendors that ever stocks two Elixirs at a time.

Helsik

Devil’s Fee in Lower City

A silver-tongued salesperson who also happens to know the method of opening a Hell Gate, this Gold Dwarf has a chance to restock Elixirs of Cloud Giant Strength every Long Rest.

Oliver Tefoco

Beehive General Goods in Lower City

Another store in the “main” area of Act 3.

Araj Oblodra

Crimson Draughts in Lower City

A sultry Drow that you may remember from Moonrise Towers in Act 2, Araj has a chance to restock Elixirs of Cloud Giant Strength while also offering players the chance to “give blood” every time they see her – which will deal 2 damage and give players Sanguine Explosives every time.

Opulent Chest

Northwest section of the Iron Throne

While players should prioritize saving Duke Ravengard, the Gondians, Omeluum and themselves while venturing into this dangerous dungeon, intrepid players may want to swing by this chest, which will provide an Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength as well as the High Security Vault Key No. 6. The only non-vendor in Act 3 that provides one of these precious elixirs.
