Stool of Hill Giant Strength

The Stool of Hill Giant Strength is an interactable item on the top floor of the Arcane Tower, in the far corner under the thatched roof.[1]

You feel a surge of strength as you approach the chair - a curious effect.

Involvement[edit section | visual editor]

Characters who sit on the Stool of Hill Giant Strength gain Hill Giant's Might Hill Giant's Might, a condition that sets their strength to 21. The character who sits on the stool will comment about feeling powerful while sitting on it, then note that the power is gone when they stand up.

Destroying the stool yields the  Club of Hill Giant Strength, a club that raises strength of the user to 19 as long they wield it.[2]

A second stool of hill giant strength can be found in a smuggler's cave on the Western Beach beneath Rivington, near to the chest where the  Bonespike Boots are found. This second stool is however non-functional: no dialogue or buff is received when sitting on it and destroying it does not provide a second club. It is unknown if its placement here is a mistake or intended to imply the smuggling of fake goods.

Dialogue[edit section | visual editor]

When sitting on the chair:

[3]
  • Player character
    What's this... feeling of power?
  • Astarion
    Well now, what's this? I feel powerful.
  • Gale
    My, not only is this chair comfortable, it imbues its sitter with power!
  • Karlach
    Ohoho, I like this. I feel strong as hell.
  • Lae'zel
    What is this power?
  • Shadowheart
    This chair... I feel stronger just from sitting in it.
  • Wyll
    Holy... I feel powerful. Nice chair indeed.

After standing up from sitting on the chair:

[4]
  • Player character
    It's gone. I felt so strong - where did that come from?
  • Astarion
    Damn it, it's gone...
  • Gale
    Hmmm. So if I stand, the power's gone. Sedentary magic I suppose that's called.
  • Karlach
    Aw! Power's gone as soon as I stand up.
  • Lae'zel
    The power's gone. A most vexing chair...
  • Shadowheart
    The strength vanishes as soon as I stand. Curious.
  • Wyll
    And poof - the power's gone.

After destroying the chair:

[5]
  • Player character
    That chair leg could make for a fine weapon...
  • Astarion
    This could do some damage. Waste not...
  • Gale
    Look at that. An unconventional weapon, but it might just be an effective one.
  • Karlach
    I could do some real damage with that chair leg.
  • Lae'zel
    It is no silver sword, but that chair leg may be a useful weapon.
  • Shadowheart
    Hmm. As much as I enjoy a sit-down, a strengthening bludgeon is more useful...
  • Wyll
    Hm - that chair leg might be good for smacking monsters around.

Notes and references[edit section | visual editor]

  1. ↑ Patch 6 adjusted the location of the stool in Act 1, making it upright instead of laying on its side and moving it further into the corner. A non-magical stool was placed on its side in the Hill Giant Stool's old location.
  2. ↑ Since patch 6 (and through patch 8) sometimes destroying the stool does not drop the Club of Hill Giant Strength. A workaround that may help is to (1) sit on the Stool of Hill Giant Strength (2) get up and destroy the separate nearby stool lying on its side in front of a table (3) destroy the Stool of Hill Giant Strength. The Club of Hill Giant strength may spawn in this case.
