Notes

• This is the only action in the game able to destroy the Infernal Crystals keeping  Hope imprisoned.
• Unshackling Strike does not free  Orpheus, instead, the Infernal Crystals (not the Minor Orb of Domination) need to be struck with a regular attack while wielding the  Orphic Hammer.
• Unshackling Strike uses a melee weapon attack roll, meaning that using it against a friendly creature with high Armor Class is likely to result in a miss.
• Despite its name, this action does not remove the  Shackled condition, meaning it cannot be used to free  Valeria from the Murder Tribunal.
• The icon for this action is reminiscent of the  Dispel Magic icons in Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2, and it is in fact labelled Spell_Abjuration_DispelMagic within the game files. For more details about this cut content, see Dispel Magic.
