PC - Windows : Baldur`s Gate Cheats
Below are the cheats, hints, and tips that Game Gas knows about for Baldur`s Gate. On the right are
websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Baldur`s Gate.
STATS:
(although you can go above 18, it's really not worth it, all listed are suggested limits, some race/class can be 19) STR - 044C,044D change to 12,63
DEX - 044E change to 12
CON - 044F change to 12
INT - 0450 change to 12
WIS - 0451 change to 12
CHA - 0452 change to 12
(For a 19 stat, change the 12 to 13 *duh*)
Easy Level Gain and Money
When starting the game in the Town of Candlekeep do all the "Quests" (errands for guards, and other characters). That means anything that gives experience. Once you have done this go to the Character Screen and export your character. End the game and start a new game and import character. This allows you to start the game with the amount of experience that you had gained. Repeat until satisfied.
SAVING THROWS:
(Must be reset after each level gained since the program rechecks your stats) Change all in - 0268 to 026C - to 13 (it doesn't like a natural 20 but you can put in 14 if you like)
EXPERIENCE
Here is an explanation as to how to derive the exact number you want. 1) Convert your desired experience to HEX don't forget that your desired number will be divided by the number of classes you have! 2) we'll use the 89K max limit for this example. 89000 converts to HEX 015BA8. You then reverse the digits for putting into the file. 015BA8 now becomes A85B01. 3) change offsets 022C to A8, 022D to 5B, 022E to 01 Tips:
Easy Money
Put potions in all of your quick item slots. Switch to the inventory screen and replace the rightmost potion with a gem. Now return to the adventure screen. Notice the picture of the potion you replaced with a gem still looks like a potion. Click it multiple times and return to the iventory screen. The number of gems should change from 1 to no number at all. Switch back to adventure screen and repeat the process... now you should have 65,000 gems.
Tip 2
Some of the boss characters are a real pain to handle once combat begins. They start casting spells and hold, charm, or terrorize your party members so you are much less effective. If you run into particularly nasty characters who don't attack until having a conversation with you, try attacking them before they start talking. If you weaken them before combat, they are much easier to handle.
Object Duplication
Export the character that has the object(s) you wish to duplicate, export said character to a vacant slot. Then, when in a game, import that character to get the items in his/her inventory. The same character can be imported multiple times to the same party.

Tip 1
When you remove characters from your party, they tend to stay where you left them. If you want to change your party and add that extra cleric temporarily, you can always dump him later and return for the fighter you left behind.
