Actions
Combat in Baldur's Gate 3 is turn-based, requiring careful planning. During your turn, you can perform a movement, one Action, and one Bonus Action. Actions are represented by a green icon, while Bonus Actions are indicated by an orange triangle icon on your Hotbar. After completing your desired moves, click the "End Turn" button on the right corner of your Hotbar to conclude your turn.
For example, during the "Escape the Nautiloid" sequence, you will encounter imps alongside Lae'zel. Understanding your available Actions and Bonus Actions is vital to effectively engage in combat and defeat these enemies.
