Poltergeists are an Undead creature in Baldur's Gate 3. They are found in the Jannath Estate.

Attacks and abilities[edit | edit source]

Tactics[edit | edit source]

Poltergeists will initially have the condition Invisible, and will cause damage by throwing furniture. If a party member has the condition See Invisibility or Volo's Ersatz Eye, they will become Revealed for one turn.
Poltergeists will only be drawn into battle if they are revealed, otherwise they can be ignored entirely (although they will continue throwing furniture).
They can fly down from the upper levels of the estate, so it may be best to wait for them to come closer rather then traversing into areas where Cursed Skulls are still active.
