The crisp autumn air carries more than fallen leaves across Faerûn this October 2025. As pumpkins glow on real-world doorsteps, Larian Studios has unleashed a spine-tingling wave of officially approved Baldur's Gate 3 mods on consoles, transforming the Sword Coast into the ultimate Halloween playground. From reality-rending witches to weapons forged in eldritch nightmares, these additions let players celebrate the spooky season while battling mind flayers and dodging vampire bites. The timing couldn't be more perfect—just as gamers dust off their cloaks for seasonal playthroughs, these mods arrive like a coven's gift, blending D&D's dark fantasy roots with fresh terrors that'll make you sleep with a sacred flame lit.
Stealing the spotlight is the Eldritch Domain Subclass, a cleric specialization dripping with Lovecraftian dread that feels like it crawled straight from the pages of a forbidden tome. Imagine channeling dead gods whose whispers warp mortal minds—this mod delivers exactly that cosmic horror vibe. Its signature ability, Prophecy of Doom, isn't your grandma's blessing; it unleashes hallucinatory visions upon nearby foes, turning battles into psychedelic nightmares. The sheer WTF factor makes it perfect for Halloween-themed runs where sanity is the first casualty.
But why stop at clerics when you can rip reality apart? Enter the Red Witch, a fan-made class that's basically a magical blender for dimensions. These practitioners of the dark arts mix cleric, druid, and wizard spells using a resource called 'Dark Favours'—think of it as unholy frequent flyer miles. At higher levels, they tear open spatial fissures with vortex-like forces that suck enemies into oblivion. Paired with the Granny Weapons Immersive mod (featuring gems like the Whispering Sanguine Blade), your arsenal becomes a horror movie prop department. These ain't your average +1 swords; they come with Forbidden Knowledge bonuses that'd make even Auntie Ethel cackle with glee.

People Also Ask: Spooky Edition
- Q: Can I combine these with existing horror mods?
Absolutely! Veterans recommend stacking the new Eldritch Domain with classics like Blood Mage for a gore-soaked, spell-slinging nightmare. It's like peanut butter and jelly... if both were made of ectoplasm.
- Q: Do mods work in multiplayer?
Heck yeah—grab your squad and run a 'Trick or Treat' co-op campaign. Just ensure all players sync mods to avoid a hot mess of compatibility ghosts.
- Q: Are any mods OP for Halloween events?
The Instant Level Up mod lets you fast-track to high-level spells like Danse Macabre. It's cheesy? Sure. But perfect for themed one-shots where you wanna go full Supernatural on some demons.
Don't sleep on the aesthetic gems either. The Shadowheart Dice Skin turns every roll into a gothic ritual, while Onyx Head presets let you craft characters pale enough to moonlight as vampires. And oh snap—the Dancer Class isn't just for fancy footwork; its eerie grace pairs devilishly well with misty-step shenanigans in haunted forests. Whether you're into RP-heavy vibes or combat that makes your palms sweat, this collection's got that je ne sais fright.
As the witching hour nears, remember: Baldur's Gate 3's mod scene is more alive (or undead?) than ever in 2025. These additions prove Larian's commitment to keeping the community's creative cauldron bubbling. So why settle for basic scares when you can go big or go home?
