Gaming News Can you die in a more ridiculous way than stealing a ball from a dog? This is the random achievement of this Baldur’s Gate 3 player
We know: Baldur’s Gate 3 offers many ways to experience your adventure. But did you know that stealing a dog ball can kill you? Unfortunately, that’s exactly what this Honor Mode player found out…
When a game turns into a drama
If you’ve played Baldur’s Gate 3 since its release last August and still haven’t been able to move on, you may have given up on the whole thing new game mode called “Honor Mode”. The latter was introduced at the end of November with Patch 5 and offers you the opportunity to replay your adventure in one much higher difficulty to what you have been able to experience so far. New boss attacks, new legendary action system and most importantly Individual backupHonor Mode challenges you to play the entire game without ever dying and without having the option to abuse saves to avoid the worst. This is what a player who responded to the nickname Renilas on Reddit tried, and suffice to say his game didn’t last very long.
Me and my friends were in the first act and were about to take a long break to continue walking towards the goblin camp. One of my friends throws the Gratouille ball and I collect it to throw it again. It made the ENTIRE CAMP hostile. Since we hadn’t leveled up the other companions, we could have gotten away with it. But there was a little problem…
The perjured paladin has joined the fight. A level 12 pain came our way, killed us all in 4 rounds, and that was it.
In short: don’t steal Gratouille’s ball in honor mode!
Whatever you do, don’t take the dog’s ball
If you explored the map in the first act, you probably know this Itchy the dog. Once you have adopted him among yourself, You can pet him and play with him to pass the time a little during your quiet moments at camp. Normally the camp is a safe place where not much can happen to you. At least that’s what we thought until we read this little story.
If you enjoy playing with Gratouille by throwing him the ball, be careful not to take it back from him until he gives it back to you on his own. Reading the comments on Renilas’ Reddit post, it seems clear that this caused the entire camp to turn against his group like John Wick when he lost his puppy. On the other hand, if you want a challenge, you know what you have to do. However, be careful with the Forsworn Paladin if you break your oath, he might give you a severe beating.
