Random: Baldur's Gate 3 Masochist Overcomes Nightmarish Solo Run | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Approachable to newcomers and almost endlessly engaging for die-hards, Baldur's Gate 3 offers various difficulty options, but there will always be those who crave more. Honour Mode is there if you want your save file deleted when you die, but streamer Luality has taken things to another level entirely.

In addition to the restrictions in place while playing on Honour Mode, Luality played with a few self-imposed extra house rules: no companions, no buying or selling (or stealing) from NPCs, no talking to Withers (so no redistributing skills or hirelings), and perhaps most shocking of all, no long rests. When asked how she restores her spell slots, the streamer said: «We don't.»

Luality appears to be using that most powerful of all fantasy RPG builds: the stealth sniper. Honed to a razor edge, the streamer uses a mind-boggling combination of action point abuse and special ammunition (like Arrows of Many Targeting), stringing together endless critical chains to break some of the game's toughest boss encounters in a single turn.

Foehammer, indeed

Does this feat of statistical dominance inspire you to fire up a fresh BG3 character? Are there any house rules you like to use when playing RPGs? Let us know in the comments section below.

Khayl Adam is Push Square's roving Australian correspondent, a reporter tasked with scouring the internet for the richest, most succulent PlayStation stories. With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

That's impressive to watch.

I might have to use this build to get past this really easy dudes I'm stuck on.

I wonder what she'll do next… probably the same bud mod character stats to be just 1's across the board? Beat the game as a gnome called Steve with his trust wooden spoon.

She's quite entertaining to watch. A powerhouse when it comes to CRPGs.
