The Wave is a +4 Halberd that can be crafted by Cromwell if the player can supply him with the Wave Shaft, the Wave Blade, and 7500 gold pieces. It is one of the few +4 weapons that can be found in Baldur's Gate II, and has the unique ability to instantly slay Efreeti, Fire Elementals and Fire Salamanders.

Description

Wave +4

Forged in antiquity by a cult devoted to the goddess Umberlee, this weapon of vengeance was designed to aid the cult's champion in retrieving a holy artifact from the fire giants of the Storm Horn Mountains. That was a lot of hope to place in one champion, and unfortunately the Wave had been lost ever since.

Gameplay[]

The EE version of the weapon now is coded to instantly slay Fire Elementals, Efreeti and Efreeti Nobles. Salamanders are coded as Fire Elementals by class, so they will be slain too. using the same IDS as a Fire Elemental. Salamanders are not identified as a separate race or class.

This weapon will bestow an outsized advantage to the party that utilizes this weapon in Yaga-Shura's Keep and Yaga-Shura's Lair during the Throne of Bhaal portion of the saga.

Trivia[]

Wave is based upon a magical trident from the adventure "White Plume Mountain", alongside Blackrazor and Whelm, of which only Blackrazor receives a conversion attempt in the game.
