Welcome to Absolute Wrath: a mod that alters the world of Baldur's Gate 3 by adding a new level of complexity, depth, and relentless challenge.
Absolute Wrath 2.1: Fractured Divinity
We’re proud to unveil the next major update to Absolute Wrath — one that doesn’t just polish the bones of the system, but breathes new life into its most terrifying encounters. With a heavy focus on refinement, affix variety, and truly mythic combat challenges, this release marks a major milestone for the mod’s design philosophy.
A wealth of backend logic improvements and balance tuning accompanies the centerpiece of this update: an endgame boss encounter unlike anything we've done before. The Shattered Saint looms beyond the veil, and he brings more than just divine ruin. Both he and the adjusted Terror boss now drop powerful, thematically woven gear worthy of their challenge — a reward, and a reckoning.
What’s New in 2.1?
Collaboration with Sailor Cat and their Valkrana Mods:
Pairing Absolute Wrath with Valkrana's Skeletal Challenge and Valkrana's Undead Encounters can transform standard encounters into thrilling battles against undead foes, enhancing the thematic depth and offering a cohesive combat experience. This collaboration provides a comprehensive campaign feel, but each mod can also be enjoyed independently, providing unique contributions to your gameplay.
Looking Ahead:
We're eager to hear your thoughts on these updates and how they shape your experience. Your feedback is vital as we continue to refine and expand the mod. Are you ready to explore the new challenges of Absolute Wrath in update 2.1?
Features at a Glance (for a more in-depth explanation, read here)
Experience the Chaos
"Absolute Wrath" introduces nearly 2000 affixes, merging existing in-game mechanics with an array of new, custom-designed ones. Each battle, from the depths of the Underdark to the bustling streets of Baldur's Gate, takes on a new dimension as creatures are randomly altered by The Absolute's influence, adding an element of unpredictability to every encounter.
Intelligent Affix System
This mod implements a tier-based affix system which carefully allocates enhancements to creatures, aligning them with their innate traits, classes, and levels. This strategic assignment, combined with a touch of randomness, ensures that every encounter is both thematic and unforeseeably chaotic, escalating in complexity as you progress.
Join the adventure. Embrace the Wrath
As the mysteries of The Absolute unravel, are you ready to step into a world where chaos reigns and adaptability is your greatest asset? Embrace the new year with a challenge like no other – your journey in the lands of The Forgotten Realm will never be the same again.
Commitment to Evolution
We are dedicated to refining, rebalancing, and debugging "Absolute Wrath" to ensure a seamless and immersive experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are open to community suggestions to further enhance the mod. Future updates may include new affixes, loot systems, and more, all designed to keep the adventure fresh and engaging. If you're enjoying the mod and feeling generous, feel free to endorse us to let us know we're moving in the right direction. Above all else, we hope you have fun!
*This mod is a Script Extension that occurs at the start of combat, applying a random number of affixes (0-3, with rarer cases for slightly more) to enemies as they are identified. These affixes include Passives, Statuses, and even rarer cases of Abilities or specifically Targeted abilities. As such, this mod does not touch or alter the base game and should be fine with any of the Death March, Stronger Bosses, AI and basic difficulty increasing mods which seek to add stat values etc. or change enemy behavior. Just be aware of how these kinds of mods combine when it comes to balance and always be mindful of how certain interactions may play out.

The Shattered Saint looms beyond the veil, and he brings more than just divine ruin. Both he and the adjusted Terror boss now drop powerful, thematically woven gear worthy of their challenge — a reward, and a reckoning.
What’s New in 2.1?
- Affix Variety Overhaul: We’ve implemented logic to ensure greater affix diversity within each combat encounter — every fight should now feel more distinct and dynamic.
- Absolutist & Affix Expansion: Several new Absolutist archetypes and affixes have been added, alongside sweeping balance adjustments. Expect tighter scaling, improved combat flow, and more thoughtful tactical moments across the board.
- The Shattered Saint – A celestial force twisted by ruin, The Shattered Saint enters the battlefield as Absolute Wrath’s most dangerous boss to date — Summon at your own peril. Designed for true endgame parties, this encounter blends radiant execution with necrotic affliction — and unlocks gear with passives and actives that reshape how you play.
- Legendary Gear Integration: Both the Terror and Saint now drop powerful, lore-bound legendary items — each with their own mechanical identity and player agency. Expect active abilities, build-defining passives, and choices that reward mastery. But do you have what it takes to claim them?
- Combat Cleanup Improvements: Resolved most cases where affixes or passives might linger after combat ends. Things now tidy themselves up properly when the bodies hit the floor — or you run.
- Tooltip and Narrative Polish: Descriptions and effects have been refined to better match in-world flavor and mechanical clarity. As always, this is an ongoing process to enhance the immersive flow of combat.
- Backend Enhancements: More consistent tag filtering, improved undead handling, and system-level logic tweaks to ensure smoother affix generation and Absolutist selection.
- Special Thanks: To our community translators — whether you’ve submitted official updates or simply explored localization on your own — we see your efforts, and we’re incredibly grateful for it. And a huge thank you to actualsailorcat for their contributions and help behind the scenes. Be sure to check out their work — you’ll find some of the most immersive and quality content for BG3 among their creations.

- Smart Affix Identification: Enhancements are lore-appropriate, reflecting each creature's thematic identity.
- Level-Specific Parameters: The challenge scales with your growth, ensuring a continuously evolving adventure.
