...so sayeth the wise Alaundo— Jaheira reciting yet another of Alaundo's prophecies
A variety of items, equipment, and characters from previous Baldur's Gate games make appearances in Baldur's Gate 3. However, in most cases the abilities of the items are slightly different because of the change of ruleset from 2e to 5e.

Some of these items originally came from D&D and Baldur's Gate 3 implemented their 5th Edition versions. They are marked 5e.

New items that reference past games

Items

Sarevok's Horned Helmet - the helmet of Baldur's Gate 1's main antagonist
Books
The Mortal View: Eyewitness Accounts of the Bhaalspawn Crisis - Eyewintesses mention Bohdi, Gorion's Ward, Sarevok, Imoen, The Five and Gorion
The Bhaalspawn Saga: Part II
Missives of Candlekeep - letters to Elminster describing Gorion's last journey and death.- A Study of the Slayer - Irenicus' notes on the extraction of Imoen's Bhaalspawn powers
Locations
- Gorion Mausoleum - a new location dedicated to Gorion
- Iron Throne - the main antagonists' former headquarters now sumberged underwater
- Temple of Bhaal
Spell Icons
The icons for these spells were directly adapted from the previous games
(for Cure Medium Wounds)
(cut content)
(for Cure Light Wounds)
Dialogue
Act I
Act II
You must gather your party before venturing forth— The Narrator if you try to go to the Shadowfell with your party scrabled
- If Minthara does not trust that Dark Urge is in control of their actions there is an option to reply "An omnipresent authority figure controls all of my actions". This is a reference to Jaheira's line when you click on her portrait in the old games ("Yes, oh omnipresent authority figure?")
Act III
- The Whispering statues in the Bhaal Temple recite Alaundo's prophecy from the previous games.
- Whispering Statue: The lord of Murder shall perish...
- Whispering Statue: ...but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny.
- Whispering Statue: Chaos will be sewn from their passage.
- Whispering Statue: So sayeth the wise Alaundo.
- Viconia's battle cry is a direct quote from her old games' battecry. (L'il Alurl! For Shar!)
- If Lae'zel chooses to go against Vlaakith Gale will comment "Glad to see I'm not the only one on the wrong side of an opnipotent authority figure." Once again this is a reference to Jaheira's voice line in the previous games.
