Baldur’s Gate 3‘S Bear sex scene Larian’s fantasy RPG caused a stir when it launched last year, but the game’s speedrunning community has proven that bears are helpful for other things, too. If you’ve spent hours strategizing and making plans to fight your way through the game’s complex combat encounters, have you considered unleashing a bear on the fiercest enemies in Faerûn? This is how one speedrunner managed to complete all three acts Baldur’s Gate 3 in less than 20 minutes.
Mae, a Baldur’s Gate 3 Speedrunner, has uploaded a run of the game, which runs through all three acts in 19 minutes and 20 seconds (Thanks, IGN). The run utilizes a handful of other tactics that have become commonplace in the game’s speedrunning community, such as Put Shadowheart’s body in a box and carry it around the world. But it turns out that Shadowheart isn’t just useful as a packaged corpse. If you turn her into a bear and hit her with the right support spells, she can take down some of the game’s toughest bosses by jumping on them.
While escaping, Shadowheart turns into a bear and then Mae takes effect Feather fall and Enhance Leap for the newly transformed teammate, giving Shadowheart much more airtime than average Baldur’s Gate 3 Hero. So when she falls to the ground, she does so with enough weight and momentum to kill most enemies in the game, including Ketheric Thorm, one of the biggest bosses in the second act. However, if you also make this destruction bear invisible, he can go free Jump around the battlefield without being spotted. The end result is invisible, catastrophic damage to your enemies and lasting less than 20 minutes Baldur’s Gate 3 Speedrun.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the kind of game that encourages this kind of wild experimentation because its systems are so dense and sophisticated. It allows you to perform maneuvers as simple as avoiding combat encounters by teleporting around them, and as wild feats as defeating one of the most powerful enemies in the game with a giant bear. But it can also be overwhelming to untangle all of these amazing possibilities, so I respect anyone who is willing to get their nails dirty and delve into how all of these systems work.
