Baldur's Gate 3 Players Are Losing Items By Storing Them In Ribcages

Baldur's Gate 3 has been out for a while now, so players have picked up all kinds of tips and tricks ever since its launch out of early access last year. One popular trick is to store all of your belongings in various strange containers, getting you more storage space than your regular inventory currently allows. Obviously, carrying a chest around is impractical due to its weight, so players have been using everything from dead animals to teddy bears.

One very popular makeshift container is a human ribcage, a container that weighs even less than a burlap sack. It's pretty handy if you need extra storage space, but there appears to be a new bug in town that is severely punishing anyone that thinks it's a good idea to have more than one ribcage in their inventory at any given time.

According to Reddit user Lifeistrulyawesome, they were happily storing a number of clown body parts in a ribcage they'd picked up, only to pick up a second ribcage (presumably to stuff even more body parts into) and realize that their first ribcage had completely disappeared. It's a strange bug to say the least, but it looks as though you can't have more than one ribcage in your inventory at once without the game throwing a tantrum.

Thankfully, this is something you don't really have to worry about if you're playing on a PC. Another Reddit user called NikoSaysHi explains that this is a visual glitch that places one ribcage over the other, and can be fixed by simply dragging them apart. Unfortunately, you can't do that on console, and no amount of inventory fiddling will get you your items back. You can't even split stacks, as both ribcages are technically individual items, they're just placed on top of each other.

So, with your newfound knowledge, make sure you either store all of your important items in an actual container rather than a dead person's torso, or just make sure not to pick up another when you've already got one. A burlap sack is just as good at holding your valuables and is
