The Baldur’s Gate 3 Morninglord’s Radiance is a condition buff that you and your party members can get when you gain Blood of Lathandar. It’s a minor boon that has your characters deal an additional 1-4 radiant damage on a successful hit. That said, many signs point to the fact that this buff is supposed to go away over time, particularly after a long rest. However, a bug (that is, what we believe to be a bug) is reportedly making it possible for party members to refresh or renew this buff to the point that it becomes effectively permanent for a large part of the game. Here’s how to take advantage of the Morninglord’s Radiance buff, at least until Larian Studios possibly fixes this with a future patch or update.
How to make Baldur’s Gate 3 Morninglord’s Radiance buff permanent
You can refresh the Morninglord’s Radiance buff in one of two ways:
- Regrouping party members – You can dismiss and then recruit companions at camp that previously received the perk to reapply the buff on them
- Returning to monastery – You can also head back to the Gith monastery where you get the Blood of Lathandar. Remove one of the ceremonial weapons and then put it back to get the buff on your main character again.
Both methods have been confirmed by users who are using this bug at the moment on the Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit as well as on the game’s Steam discussion forums.
Most of the community agree, however, that this buff is meant to be temporary, so we expect that this will be fixed by the developer eventually. There are also may come a point in the story where you can’t head back to the monastery. But for now, you can head back to the monastery after a long rest to gain the Morninglord’s Radiance buff through to Act 2 and Act 3 if you’re diligent.
