Guiding Light | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

Guiding Light is one of the available Rings in Baldur's Gate 3. In BG3, there are two types of Accessories, Rings or Amulets. Once equipped, these Accessories may give the character certain bonuses, such as new Spells, resistance against certain kinds of damage, bonus AC, an increase to an Ability Score or more.

Used by the previous owner to access both the Underdark's darkest corners and her own basement, this ring seems to reflect light where there should be none.
