If you’re feeling bad about some of the embarrassing or painful deaths your party suffered in Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s well worth watching the ending of a poor streamer trying to finish the Honor Mode game as decently as possible. If you’re wondering, the answer is tragic.
For starters, BG3’s Honor Mode was added to the game late last year and was designed to provide a hardcore challenge for those unhappy with the difficulty level that doesn’t feel like shoving your nose into a toaster slot. and open it. There’s also permadeath, a bunch of other bad stuff, and – until recently – the threat of being permanently stuck if you forgot your hammer at home.

However, that wasn’t difficult enough for some players, and streamer WolfheartFPS (thanks GamesRadar) decided to add some extra rules and turn Honor Mode into an even more Honorable mode. Their reward, of course, is a tragic death fighting the Netherbrain, leading Baldur’s Gate 3 director Swen Vincke to declare “that was perfect” like a proud father.
As the streamer explains in this video, the honor mode they’re trying to run is one that adheres to what they define as “actual honor” principles. That means no sneaky tricks like quitting the game after dying, getting help from mods, or looking up the abilities and tendencies of upcoming bosses like a fool. Additionally, there is no way to get tips from their chat, a gaming aid unique to streamers.
How about it? Well, the first two acts of the game go well, but in the third act, things go a little worse due to the scare of the undead dragon Ansul. They then take on Virtual Brain, and things go badly. First, the streamer accidentally helped Brain with a Rapid Spore Grenade.

Then, with only 19 health left to take down the boss and deal fatal damage, the streamer sent Shadowheart on a short walk, leading to a fatal turn. Prosperity. game over.
As WolfheartFPS outlines at the end of the video, the moral of the story is basically don’t mix haste spore clouds with characters who don’t have a lot of time on speed potions, especially as you get closer to the end of the boss fight’s timer . The more you know.
