The shovel is a useful item in Baldur's Gate 3, and here is how players can find and use one to unearth some extra loot.

Baldur's Gate 3 features a vast world with lots of secrets to uncover and buried treasure to find. Players who like to explore and reveal as much of the map as possible will notice mounds in the dirt or grass. They are easy to miss, but the characters with good perception skills have a chance of detecting something unusual buried in the grass. However, for the party to dig up the mounds, they must have a shovel. Without it, the party members can't dig for the buried treasure and loot hiding underground in Baldur's Gate 3.

The party can dig up the mounds of earth with the hidden treasure located all over the map and in the dungeons. To dig, make sure the shovel is in the party's inventory, and the protagonist will use it automatically.

Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. A PlayStation 5 version is scheduled to launch on September 6th, 2023.
