Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate Sealed Guide

Get out your machetes, because we’re in uncharted territory now!

fter the Wise Wizards of the Waterfront dipped our toes into the harsh,

unforgiving waters of Streets of New Capenna + Alchemy (it sucked),

[{"selector":"#anim-dfc28b3c-a6f9-4122-b622-021730ccefa1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(54.73938963847538%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d6b1820a-23c6-49b2-9d35-099ff2926522","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

we are ready to get our Drivers Permit and experience our first “full” Alchemy set

[{"selector":"#anim-2d197c42-4084-42e8-9805-5a054806e84e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-23.10591452711496%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-982f7907-bf58-44a1-82d2-437e403836cd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-415fbb68-8e67-47ef-9427-8d31e1a9bef6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

which hopefully provides a good limited experience with the new mechanics.

[{"selector":"#anim-c0e16575-3343-4b1d-b1cf-6f94aee56e89 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.848361274890854%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e8442c6a-5deb-4e04-a90a-950dd82da96f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dc7142c6-75fa-4885-89fc-e0850e184dba","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -439.2362%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Essentially, Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate (or HBG), is its own beast,

[{"selector":"#anim-af74818f-f3a2-4e7f-a404-a8451a95dfde [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(47.65655717544984%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53828226-aaa4-44bb-ade7-fd7d75f12600","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-52bb824b-988f-4747-ba31-636232126ea4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 235.32991%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

despite it having a paper counterpart

[{"selector":"#anim-49143c9d-73a8-41fa-8c84-fc6ec0750f00 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.7877743226612495%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c1463861-0e21-4b49-b9b5-660de5d8ae5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd2d38ad-363d-4bf0-b444-e97b2b5c8980","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

it’s completely different
