To enable the cheats in Baldur's Gate, you will need to edit a game file. Before you start to edit, create a backup copy of the file!

- Open the file Baldur.ini (in the game directory) in a text-editor.
- Add the line "Cheats=1" under the "[Game Options]" heading.

To activate a cheat-code in the game, you'll need to do the following (once in the game):

- Press [Ctrl] + [Tab] to display the console window.
- Type the cheat-code (case-sensitive! ; see below).
- Press [Enter] to activate the code.
- Press [Ctrl] + [Tab] to close the console window.

The cheats:

Cheats:TheGreatGonzo()

Cheats:FirstAid()

Cheats:Midas()

Cheats:DrizztDefends()

Cheats:CriticalItems()

To view all the movies that can be encountered in the game:
- Open the file Baldur.ini (in the game directory) in a text-editor.
- Add the following lines under the "[Movies]" heading:
