BG3 Sussur Weapon Guide: How to Craft the Silencing Masterwork Weapon
Complete BG3 Sussur weapon guide. How to get Sussur Bark, where to craft the Sussur weapon, which weapon type to choose, and how the Silence on hit effect works.
Getting Sussur Bark
Go to the Sussur Tree in the Underdark (west of Myconid Colony). The glowing blue tree is surrounded by Hook Horrors. Sneak past or fight them. Harvest the bark from the base of the tree. You only get one piece.
Crafting the Weapon
Return to the Blighted Village. Enter the blacksmith’s basement (building with the forge in the cellar). Use the smithing table. Combine Sussur Bark + a basic weapon (greatsword, sickle, or dagger).
Which Sussur Weapon to Make?
| Weapon | Damage | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sussur Greatsword | 2d6+1 | Best melee option. Silence on hit disables caster bosses. |
| Sussur Sickle | 1d4+1 | Skip. Low damage. Only for flavor. |
| Sussur Dagger | 1d4+1 | Skip. You’ll find better daggers soon. |
Make the greatsword. Silence on hit means enemy casters can’t cast spells with verbal components. This trivializes multiple boss fights (Ethel, Balthazar, any enemy wizard).
How Silence Works
When you hit an enemy with the Sussur weapon: they’re Silenced for 1 turn (no save). Silenced creatures cannot:
- Cast spells with verbal components (90% of spells)
- Use Bardic Inspiration
- Make sound-based attacks
