Baldur’s Gate 3 ‘Owlbear From the Top Rope’ Deals Enough Damage to Take Down Pretty Much Anything
With Baldur’s Gate 3’s second weekend under its belt players are coming up with even more outside-the-box strategies for doing huge damage in combat. This latest effort, dubbed “Owlbear from the top rope”, causes the most damage we’ve seen in the game so far. Perhaps more damage than even developer Larian intended.
Twitch Streamer Ellohime indulged in a spot of crate-stacking (as Matt Mercer did recently to viral effect when getting to the top of a Baldur’s Gate 3 castle) to get high above his unsuspecting enemies below. From there, Ellohime’s druid shapeshifts into an Owlbear (a druid wildshape form you unlock at level six), already one of the biggest playable bodies in the game, and casts Enlarge to make the Owlbear even bigger.
Here’s the smart bit: the Owlbear’s Crushing Flight attack scales with mass, so the bigger you are, the harder you fall. And Crushing Flight negates fall damage, which leaves you free to pretty much nuke an enemy from orbit. The clip (below) shows a whopping 5005kg Owlbear torpedo over 30 meters to deliver an incredible 821 points of bludgeoning damage.
