Utility ? No idea. But Speak with animals is so fucking hilarious that I will carry a class just for it because its that funny. I was sold the second I talked to the squirrels near the bard.
I haven’t used knock at all but the first thing I do after every long rest is apply speak with animals to my PC. I then talk to almost every animal I meet.
In the withers ruin, yes. I think you find it in the same room as his sarcophagus but not sure. You can also just put it on whenever. Ignoring attunement was a great decision but would be silly OP in tabletop with even 10% of the loot you get in BG3
Lol never once needed knock. Astarion (and later respecced roguelock Wyll) almost never failed, especially with guidance. And even if you fail, I never once had single digit thieves tools.
SwA is goddamn awesome though, totally agreed. Talking to the Rothes in the underdark blew my mind
Semi-related fact: Knock and Speak With Animals are the best utility spells in Baldurs Gate 3, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

As far as I understand, “utility spell” is a category consisting of all spells that aren’t combat spells.
I agree 💯 btw 😁

Raise your hand if you spoke to the guard bear again after saving the Grove, hoping that the xenophobe had changed its mind about you 🙋🏻
Speak with the Dead is also pretty good too.
Get the necromancy book in the blighted village and you get speaks with dead on any character for free.
There’s also an amulet somewhere earlier that gives you a few free castings per day.

True.
Speak with animals gets a lot better with infinite duration.
Yeah, I use that mod and cast SwA right after every long rest 😁
You don’t need a mod. SWA just has infinite duration in BG3 (or rather until long rest)
Ah ok, I didn’t know since I’m using a mod that would’ve made it so if it wasn’t already 😁
And Thunderwave is the best combat spell in the game
Gust of wind is better. Clears out gas clouds and enemies.
Anyone who has played any of the Divinity games knows that Speak with Animals is a must-have. Pet Pal was also the best perk in DoS / DoS 2.
I hadn’t, so it came as an extraordinarily positive surprise to me 😁
Pet Pal was a sure ticket to depression in DoS2. The stories of the animals in BG3 are usually quite cute.

There are some doors that are impossible to lockpick throughout the game, unless you use Knock to unlock.
