Baldur’s Gate 3 Honour Mode: Foehammer, Rests and Recovery

Inspect before committing

Use Examine on a boss and read Legendary Action triggers, resistances and conditions. Identify what provokes the extra action and choose which character can safely trigger it, or how to avoid it.

Assign support and an exit

Spread out to limit area damage, put healing and resurrection items on characters who can reach them, and decide which mobile survivor will escape if the fight collapses. Check the flee/camp restrictions before assuming an exit exists.

Spend to prevent a wipe

If an ally is downed and enemies can finish them, heal, use Help when reachable, or control the threat before chasing damage. Keep an escape tool available instead of spending every resource on an uncertain last attack.

Check the resource that is actually empty

You normally have two short rests per full long rest. They restore health and selected class resources, such as Warlock spell slots, but do not refill every caster’s slots. Inspect each character before another major fight.

Fund the full rest

Honour’s full long rest costs 80 camp supplies. Select enough in the camp rest screen and verify that your health, slots and short-rest uses were restored afterward. Supplies are not a reason to carry an exhausted party into an optional boss.

Check active emergencies first

Long rests advance some time-sensitive events. Read the journal and resolve an already-triggered immediate rescue, such as a nearby burning building, before leaving to sleep. There is no universal timer on every unfinished quest.

If someone can still escape

Move a surviving character away until Flee Combat becomes available, then use it for that character. In restricted areas it may stay unavailable. Once safe, use Withers (200 gold per resurrection) or a Scroll of Revivify where applicable, then rebuild the party before returning.

If the party defeat screen appears

The Honour attempt is over. Choose a Custom continuation for practice or start a new Honour campaign for the reward. Quitting, forcing a crash or repeatedly loading the last save is not this guide’s recovery method.

After the campaign ending

Complete the ending flow; if a reunion epilogue is offered, finish it through Withers and the credits before checking Steam for Foehammer. On a dice-roll screen, open dice appearance options to check for Shining Honour separately.

If the reward is missing

Confirm the campaign was Honour from the start, never continued after a wipe, and did not use mods. If those checks pass, record the game version and completion state, keep the save and contact Larian support. Do not delete a long campaign or promise a guaranteed retroactive unlock.
