How to unlock Shield of Thralls Baldur's Gate 3
- Shield of Thralls 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.

There is an item that gives you stun immunity, so you can use it with that (Just make sure your party is far away from the AOE burst, this makes the ability super broken powerful. Also this goes well with Warlock that is using pact of chain, send his pet inside (Fly into enemies and attack them and have them proc reactions/attacks. Shield bursts, and all of them. It also works well on raven as well. (Anything that fly and cover huge distances). Its a moving stun bomb, and the AI is dumb enough to melee attack it it procs against them.

it stuns everyone, not only foes but character who have a shield and allies. It's fine, people can easily find right way to use it. Problem in description, it said possibly Stunning nearby foes, if it intended then it should say that it can stun everyone including wielder.

Stuns your character too unfortunately, but stick it on your imps or ravens and dive bomb into enemies to let them soak another hit and potentially stun everyone in between

Would've been great if it could be cast on enemy, making the target Allahu Akbar.
You could still cast it on a familiar(like Raven has 1 HP), move it to group of enemies, attack it for suicide bombing
