How to unlock Freecast Baldurs Gate 3
Freecast can be acquired by:
Tadpole Locations for Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3). Each parasite consumed unlocks one new Illithid Power within a skill tree of 25 powerful mind-flayer-inspired abilities, completely separate to the options you have when you level up in a traditional sense. These are divided into five branches themed around manipulation, health restoration, psionics, and abilities that can inflict immense damage and torment enemies to gradually weaken them over time. Some abilities can be used to control those around you, pushing them to say things in dialogue they would otherwise not. Others endow you with the power to push and pull enemies like ragdolls during battle.

free(!) freecast bug seems to still work as of hotfix #10, patch #4 PC. freecast responsibly

Does the freecast glitch still work after patch3 hotfix 1 on PS5? Asking for a friend.

- Anonymous
Does this negate the one use only for Divine Intervention? Anyone tried yet?

i'm on patch 2 hotfix 1, now seems to work correctly (that is, once per Long Rest).

With the latest patch freecast still resets after one turn, still broken
After the patch, it remains greyed out on my bar after a long rest. The only way to get it to 'reactivate' is by changing your equipment somehow. Unequipping a ring or necklace for example will make it usable properly, and then you can just reequip the gear.

Patch fixed bonus action resetting free action, but I've already found another way. Already sent it to the devs and plan to abuse it myself .
Does this also work on scrolls and does it still consume the scroll? Would be insane if it didn't.

This is very broken right now, permanent unlimited lv 6 spells :( Super game breaking and makes achievement of beating tactician mode feel worthless, even if I personally dont make use of the bug
- Anonymous
It indeed is bugged. As sorcerer I can create spell slots and spell points freely how many times I want. After 90SP and six lvl 5 slots I kinda lost interest. Totally game breaking.
- Anonymous
Yeah I think this is bugged right now.
I personally get this skill refreshed a lot.
So first turn throw any spell you like ex fireball / chain lightning, second turn fight normal with spell cost, third turn you can throw spell again at not cost.

seems to refresh after each action when i have it on the bar, alot of spells, very strong spells (V4.1.1.3624901)
In our playthrough we got an unlimited freecast by accident when we found it got triggered by some auras (namely the dryad's nature's step and paladin's aura of protection); these auras reset freecast on any turn just by stepping out of their range and then stepping back in. Enjoy!
