Baldur's Gate 3 players are sharing the game's rarest and best-hidden magical items

gamesradar.com:

Over on the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit, players have been gathering to share some of the more rare and exciting items they've found in the game. These are items that the original poster, Scornz, makes clear are super easy to overlook, but these impressive items can be almost game-breaking in terms of buffs.

Having played through Baldur's Gate 3 five times over already, Scornz says they "still find new items of pieces of equipment I never saw before, as I try to make a 'perfect' savefile with every possible (useful) item available."

That sounds like an impossible task, since there exist "items that are tied to certain quests or choices", as Scornz admits in their post. Still, "besides these rare instances I came across some obscure things you might have never seen, and I wanted to share what would I consider to be the rarest and easiest to miss loot per act."

There are going to be a few spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 here, so be warned.

Now, I know 'smashing stools' sounds like some obscure, d-tier grunge band, but breaking such an "unsuspicious inanimate object" atop the Arcane Tower in the Underdark is exactly how Scornz got their hands on the Club of Hill Giant Strength. 1⁓4 bludgeoning damage and the Uncommon tag makes this an easy weapon to overlook, but the Splinters of a Giant's Might feature sees it increase the wielder's strength to 19. 

Not insubstantial muscle gains, then.

Some of the rarer items were added to the list thanks to commenter contributions, such as the Ring of Poison Resistance, which Scornz credits user Metalfriends for finding. Its "emerald glows a deep, deadly green," and it does exactly what you'd expect from the name; the perfect accessory for those moments when you're expecting poison damage.
