BG1 In Game Cheating The information from this comes from TeamBG: http://www.teambg.eu/ Step 1: Open the baldur.

.ini file, and under [Game Options] add this: Cheats=1 Save the file. Step 2: Run Baldur's Gate. In the game press CTRL-TAB to bring up a little console. To close the console again, press CTRL-TAB. You can now enter any cheat you want into this little console window. Cheat Codes: -----------Cheats:TheGreatGonzo() Cheats:FirstAid() Cheats:Midas() Cheats:CowKill() Cheats:DrizztAttacks() Cheats:DrizztDefends() Cheats:CriticalItems() Cheats:Hans() Cheats:ExploreArea() Cheat Hot Keys: --------------To activate the Cheat Hot Keys, enter this into the Console: CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys() And here are the Hot Keys: CTRL+1 -- change the armor of the paper doll (the armor class doesn't change) CTRL+2 -- fades screen to black CTRL+3 -- fades screen to normal CTRL+4 -- highlight the background-interactive objects CTRL+5 -- ??? CTRL+6 -- shapeshift your character into the previous paper doll in list CTRL+7 -- shapeshift your character into the next paper doll in list CTRL+8 -- highlights the text boxes CTRL+9 -- highlight the sprites CTRL+0 -- ??? CTRL+A -- do a sprite animation (see CTRL+S) CTRL+B -- view last FMV sequence CTRL+C -- jump to next chapter CTRL+D -- display some strange numbers CTRL+F -- turn the character CTRL+J -- transport onto the position pointed by the cursor CTRL+L -- information on positon (same as L) CTRL+M -- (Then press ENTER) DEBUG DUMP CTRL+S -- select a sprite animation -- Summons 10 killer chickens who defend you. -- Creates 5 healing potions, 5 neutralize poison potions, and 1 stone to flesh scroll. -- Gives you 500 gold. -- Creates a CowKill spell if you're near a cow. -- Creates a hostile Drizzt. -- Creates a friendly Drizzt. -- Spawns all the game's critical items. -- Moves your characters to mouse cursor position (FAST). -- Marks entire area explored.

CTRL+X -- information on position (more) Item Creating ------------To create an item use this code: CLUAConsole:CreateItem("xxxxxx",#####) Where "xxxxxx" is the item code, and ##### is how many of them you would like created (from 0 to 65535). When your item is created, it is automatically placed into your inventory. BG2 Setting Up the In-Game Cheats: -----------------------------The cheat features are largely unchanged since the original Baldur's Gate. There are some minor differences, but that is to be expected. To get the cheats activated do these steps: Step One:) Open the game's directory C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA Step Two:) Open the Baldur.ini file in notepad. Step Three:) Find the line [Program Options]. Under it are a variety of settings for your game. Add this line: Debug Mode=1 And it must be Debug Mode=1, not debug mode=1 or anything else. Save and close notepad. Step Four:) Now when you are in the game, press CTRL-SPACE to bring up the Console. This is where you will enter all the cheats. Note: When running Vista, either disable UAC, or Run As Administrator. You may also want to consider installing in a different directory than the default. I use D:\Apps\BG2. Anyone familiar with the original Baldur's Gate cheats will find that the cheats are mostly the same from this point. At any point in the game, press CTRL-SPACE to bring up the console. There you enter in your cheat and press ENTER to execute the cheat. Changing Experience Cheat: -------------------------In the console window enter this cheat: CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP(number) Where 'number' is replaced by whatever number of experience points that you wish for the selected party member(s) to have. It can normally go up to 2.95 million. (The Exp Cap can be removed, see the next section "Trainers & Editors for more information) If you had 2000 exp and you set it to 1000 you

will actually lose experience, although this has no bearing on your level. Example: CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP(2950000) Create an Item: --------------In the console window enter this cheat: CLUAConsole:CreateItem("itemcode",number) There MUST be quotation marks around the itemcode. Sample item codes are "boot01" (boots of speed). Once entered, that character will have that item. The number part of the cheat is NOT NEEDED. And for most cheats you won't want it. But if you want to create 5 potions, simply enter in 5 after the item code to get 5 potions created. (The maximum is 65,536) This also works well for arrows and scrolls. To get the maximum the easy way, use -1. Example: CLUAConsole:CreateItem("potn07",-1) ...would create thousands of potions of Storm Giant strength. If you want some Item Codes check out my Item List (complete with Descriptions) which is located at: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ Create a Monster: ----------------This works almost exactly like the CreateItem cheat, except you can't create multiple monsters: CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("creaturename") Again a list of monsters can be found at GameSages. At least until I come up with my own list. Cheat Hot Keys: --------------To activate the Cheat Hot Keys, enter this into the Console: CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys() And here are the Hot Keys: CTRL+1 -- change the armor of the paper doll (the armor class doesn't change) CTRL+2 -- fades screen to black CTRL+3 -- fades screen to normal CTRL+4 -- highlight the background-interactive objects CTRL+5 -- ??? CTRL+6 -- shapeshift your character into the previous paper doll in list CTRL+7 -- shapeshift your character into the next paper doll in list CTRL+8 -- highlights the text boxes

CTRL+9 CTRL+0 CTRL+A CTRL+B CTRL+C CTRL+D CTRL+F CTRL+I CTRL+J CTRL+L CTRL+M CTRL+Q

-------------

CTRL+R -CTRL+S -CTRL+T -CTRL+X -CTRL+Y --

highlight the sprites ??? do a sprite animation (see CTRL+S) view last FMV sequence jump to next chapter display some strange numbers turn the character random party conversation transport onto the position pointed by the cursor information on position (same as X) (Then press ENTER) DEBUG DUMP Makes the creature at the mouse cursor join the party, works on pretty much anything [from GOOD-ASH, Brian Phillips] heals the party member whose portrait your mouse is currently over (doesn't have to be selected) select a sprite animation Advances the game time by one hour. This has the effect of removing spell effects and such. information on position (more) hurts/kills person mouse cursor is over

Throne of Bhaal adds a new one: CTRL+H -- Fixes a wild mage to a specific surge, such that every time he casts a spell he gets that surge. Setting the Surge Number to 0 undoes the surge fixing and goes back to normal functioning (or malfunctioning as the case may be). One could be really cheesy if they wanted and keep a wild mage fixed at the "spell cast at normal, all spells refreshed as if rested" and keep the entire spellbook "memorized" off of one Nahal's Reckless Dweomer (since it would always work). All of the advantages of Sorcerers and Wizards rolled into one. Really cheesy, as I said. [from Vash] Note: This affects all magic everywhere, even for enemies, so use at your own risk. CTRL+I -- Invokes a random party conversation. Quite useful if you play "fast" and wouldn't otherwise hear all the funny dialogues. Especially Imoen's and Jan's...) This can be used to speed up Sarevok's "conversion" to Chaotic Good, too. (Corvus Albus)

Other Codes: -----------CLUAConsole:AddGold(number) CLUAConsole:ExploreArea() CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("ARXXXX") The area code MUST appear in quotes. Just replace the XXXX with whatever the area number is where you want to be. For example, to teleport to the Government District in Athkatla you would do: CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR1000") And you would be teleported there. This allows you to go back to any otherwise inaccessible area, but beware of ill side effects! CLUAConsole:SetWeather(#) -- Use one of the following 3 settings: 0 - No Weather

1 - Rain 2 - Snow IWD1 The first step to getting these cheats to work, is to download the latest patch here: http://www.planetbaldursgate.com/iwd/media/files/patches/index.shtml Cheat Codes First, open up the "icewind.ini" file in the game directory. Add the line "Cheats=1" under the "[Game Options]" section. Don't include the quotes. So, it should look like: [Game Options] Cheats=1 Start the game and press [Ctrl] + [Tab] to display the console window. HoW Note: In Heart of Winter, instead of putting in CHEATERSDOPROSPER use GETYOURCHEATON. EX: GETYOURCHEATON:CreateItem("boot01") to create some boots. (from Sebastien Rheaume) CHEATERSDOPROSPER:ExploreArea() Show full map. CHEATERSDOPROSPER:Hans() Teleport party to pointer. CHEATERSDOPROSPER:SetCurrentXP([number]) Give selected characters indicated EXP. CHEATERSDOPROSPER:AddGold([number]) Add indicated gold to party total. CHEATERSDOPROSPER:Midas() Add 500 gold to party total. CHEATERSDOPROSPER:FirstAid() 5 healing potions, 5 antidotes, and 1 Scroll Of Stone To Flesh. CHEATERSDOPROSPER:CreateItem("xxxxxx") This creates any item that you know the Item Code for. Every item from Baldur's Gate is there (minus Drizzt's Defender), so you can get some Item Codes from my Baldur's Gate FAQ. (Tales of the Sword Coast items are NOT in IWD) Also I now have an Item Listing for all the items in Icewind Dale, which can be found at GameFAQs. (http://www.gamefaqs.com/) Note: If you are creating an item that can have multiples in one stack, use the CreateItem("xxxxxx", num) form. So to create 300 Summon Cow scrolls you would enter CHEATERSDOPROSPER:CreateItem("scrlzz", 300) Here's a few IWD unique codes: BELTSTR - Girdle of Stromnos (sets STR to 19) BOOTFOX - Boots of the Fox (increases speed, and +1 AC)

CLOAKMI DBONE GLORY HELMDEF HELMSUN HOLDING KAYBOW KAYCHAI KAYGLOV ORRSHLD SCRLZZ ULBOW5A ULSWD4B ULSWD5B UROBE1A VOICEBN

Mithran's Cloak (+3 AC, Saving Throw +2) Ring of Dwarven Bone (+1 STR, not usable by good char) Plate Mail +6, Glory of Suffering (-25 HP to wear) Helm of the Blessed Defender (+3 AC, Halflings/Gnomes only) Sune's Laurel of Favor (Helm anyone can wear, +1 AC, +1 CHA) Jester's Bag of Holding (Creates random items once per day) Kaylessa's Bow (+1 Dex, +3 Dmg, +3 to hit, min STR of 15 to use) Kaylessa's Elven Chainmail (AC 2, +1 Dex) Kaylessa's Gloves (+1 AC, +1 Dex) Orrick's Rhino Beetle Shield (+4 AC) Spell: Summon Cow (you heard me!) Long Bow +4: Hammer (+1 AC, +4 Dmg, +5 to Hit, 4 attacks/round) Long Sword +3: Enforcer (extra spells, only usable by F/M) Long Sword +3: Bhaal's Fire (extra 2d4 of fire dmg) Robe of Enfusing (+2 AC, +5% magic resistance, +5 Lore) A dead paladin (no point, but it's interesting to see things cut from the game)

Here are the Astrolabe Pieces: PIECE1 PIECE2 PIECE3 PIECE4 The following codes can merely be entered (they don't need the CONSOLE like the above cheats) after you've entered this in the console: CHEATERSDOPROSPER:EnableCheatKeys() [Ctrl] [Ctrl] [Ctrl] [Ctrl] [Ctrl] [Ctrl] + + + + + + J R Y 4 9 Q Move selected characters to pointer position. Heal or resurrect the selected character or portrait. Kill selected monster or NPC with no EXP. Display trigger polygons; shows traps. Display character bounding boxes Forces the monster to join party (from GOOD-ASH)

(most cheats above here, except CreateItem, came from Jake Sweet) _____________ Item Copying: There is a really easy way to duplicate any item that you receive using a quirk in the game's design. 1. Save the game. 2. Export the Character with the item(s) that you wish to copy. (only works with characters that you have created yourself, such as the main character) 3. Give all of that character's items away, and then click the bottom button (Character Arbitration), then click the Modify Characters button (only works if there are no enemies around, and you aren't in the middle of casting a spell), and then click on the Character Name to delete the character. 4. Now immediately Import the character back, and you now have 2 of everything that person had. Similarly if you are doing this in a single player, you: 1. Export the Character.

2. Start a new game. 3. At the Character Creation Screen press "Import" and the select your character. It is really helpful that when you Export your Character to name him/her something specific, not just "Character1" or something. This is really useful for the ultra-rare items like the Girdle of Stromnos. This also works well if you want to start over, simply export your characters, start a new game, and import them there. IWD2 To get Cheating enabled, simply check the "Cheats" box in the Config program that first ran when you originally played the game. You can also find the Config program in Start Menu > Black Isle > IWD2. Once cheats are active, in game press Ctrl + Tab to display the console window and then you can enter the following codes: ctrlaltdelete:explorearea() ctrlaltdelete:Hans() Show full map. Teleport party to pointer.

ctrlaltdelete:SetCurrentXP([number]) Give selected characters indicated EXP. ctrlaltdelete:AddGold([number]) ctrlaltdelete:Midas() ctrlaltdelete:FirstAid() ctrlaltdelete:CreateItem("xxxxxx") ctrlaltdelete:enablecheatkeys() Add indicated gold to party total. Add 500 gold to party total. 5 healing potions, 5 antidotes, and 1 Scroll Of Stone To Flesh. Creates an item Activates the Hot Key cheats

Note: It doesn't matter if you capitalize the cheats or not. Note: If you are creating an item that can have multiples in one stack, use the CreateItem("xxxxxx", num) form. So to create 300 Summon Cow scrolls you would enter CHEATERSDOPROSPER:CreateItem("scrlzz", 300) To get the MAXIMUM number of something, use -1 as your quantity. This causes an integer overflow, and sends it back to the highest number possible (65,535). Doesn't work with addgold(). Example: To create a Boots of Speed ("00boot01"), I would enter in the command line: ctrlaltdelete:createitem("00boot01") To create near-unlimited arrows: ctrlaltdelete:createitem("00arow01",-1) Hot Keys: (for use with the enablecheatkeys() cheat)

CTRL+1 -- change the armor of the paper doll (the armor class doesn't change) CTRL+2 -- fades screen to black CTRL+3 -- fades screen to normal CTRL+4 -- highlight the background-interactive objects (such as script triggers, or anything you can click on for information) CTRL+6 -- shapeshift your character into the previous paper doll in list CTRL+7 -- shapeshift your character into the next paper doll in list CTRL+8 -- highlights the text boxes CTRL+9 -- highlight the sprites CTRL+A -- do a sprite animation (see CTRL+S) CTRL+B -- sets "speed" (speed of WHAT?) CTRL+C -- view Chapter Text CTRL+D -- display some strange numbers CTRL+F -- turn the character CTRL+J -- transport onto the position pointed by the cursor CTRL+M -- (Then press ENTER) DEBUG DUMP CTRL+Q -- Makes the creature at the mouse cursor join the party CTRL+R -- heals the party member whose portrait your mouse is currently over (doesn't have to be selected) CTRL+S -- select a sprite animation CTRL+X -- information on position (more) CTRL+Y -- hurts/kills person mouse cursor is over Caution: Use Hot Keys at your own risk. While CTRL-R and CTRL-Y are completely safe to use, CTRL-Q is not and might crash your game.
