Guide To Highlight/Toggle Items & Objects in Baldur’s Gate 3

This guide explains how to highlight interactive items and lootable objects in Baldur’s Gate 3. By pressing and holding the ALT key, players can see outlines and floating labels for nearby interactives.

Additionally, the guide provides instructions on changing the keybinding for this feature. Following these steps ensures that players won’t miss important items during their journey in the game.

Everything you need has been clearly outlined in the steps below.

Step 1: Highlight/Toggle Items and Objects

These will help you show items on the ground for BG3:

1. While in the game, position your character near the area you want to explore or search for lootable objects and interactive items.
2. To highlight the nearby interactables, press and hold the ALT key on your keyboard.
3. A visual outline will appear around the objects, and a floating label will describe the item’s name or purpose.
4. Move your mouse cursor around the area while holding the ALT key to see all the interactable and lootable objects within your vicinity.
5. Release the ALT key when you have finished scanning the area. Repeat this process whenever you want to check for items and objects in other locations.

Step 2: Changing Keybinds for Highlighting/Toggling Items

If you find the default ALT key inconvenient for highlighting items, you can change the keybind to a more comfortable one. Here’s how:

1. While in-game, press the ESC key on your keyboard to access the options menu.
2. Click on the “Options” tab to open the game settings.
3. Look for the “Keybinds” tab in the options menu and select it.
4. Scroll down until you find the option labeled “Show World Tooltips” or “Highlight Items” (the exact label may vary depending on the game version).
5. By default, this option will be assigned to the Left ALT key. Click on this keybind to change it.
6. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to input the new keybind of your choice. Press the key you wish to assign for highlighting items. Note that you cannot set a key already in use for another function.
7. After setting the new keybind, click “Apply” to save the changes.

Now, whenever you want to highlight items and objects, you can use the new key you’ve assigned instead of the ALT key.

Remember that this feature shows you interactive objects within a short range around your character. If you want to discover items that are farther away, you’ll need to keep highlighting the areas you explore.

Following this guide, you can quickly locate and interact with essential items, loot, and objects in Baldur’s Gate 3, making your adventure more rewarding and enjoyable.
