| “ | Dark and rancid blood lurks within this pewter goblet. The lip is black and caked where it appears others have tasted from it. Scratched deep into the pewter are the words "Taste My Fear." | ” |
Durlag's Goblet, found as "Blood-filled Goblet" on the floor of the torture chamber in his tower's second underground dungeon level, is a potion in Tales of the Sword Coast that grants a 100% heal with a morale curse as its price.
Characteristics[]
When the Goblet is found next to a dusty book about fear, it still contains six slugs of its cursed elixir. After examining it, it turns out to be some sort of healing potion, which in turn, however, lets the user's morale fail easily in combat.
Gameplay[]
- Each of the twenty (maximum) charges fully heals the user (see Bugs).
- In return, their "morale break" is set to 14 for a duration of twelve in-game hours, which makes most possible consumers very susceptible to morale failure.
- The chalice has 20 maximum charges and is rechargeable at fairly low prices.
- If the drinker is wearing Kiel's Helmet, the curse is ineffective.
- A good alternative to healing potions for Dorn Il-Khan, because he – as a Blackguard – is immune to fear.
- Likewise any Blackguard or Cavalier can make full use of the goblet, without any repercussion.
- The unkitted Bard song helps suppress the curse.
Description[]
| “ | Scratched deep into the side of this cursed goblet are the words "Taste My Fear." It is said that one can regain lost health from the dark blood that lurks within its pewter depths. This comes with a price, however, as all who drink of the blood become cursed with the fear it brings. This effect will last up to 12 hours or until dispelled. | ” |

Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast (1999)
This icon indicates content from the original Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast campaign. Besides spelling the consumer wrong, in the original game's expansion Tales of the Sword Coast, the description reads "Heal embiber[sic] by 5 hit points" – the goblet actually has the same effect as in the Enhanced Edition, which is fully healing the imbiber.
Trivia[]
- The item file is still part of the Baldur's Gate II data, but doesn't appear in-game.
