Baldur’s Gate 3’s Honor Mode, the game’s highest difficulty, leaves little room for error, and one player made a small, but terribly fatal, one.
Honor Mode Baldur’s Gate 3 is, excluding changes in difficulty via mods, the greatest challenge the game offers. The fights require excellent tactical sense and good group management, and above all there is only one save file, which is automatically overwritten with each action. You must therefore (except manipulation outside the game) accept the consequences of your choices, both in confrontations and outside. Sometimes, this can lead to the death of all its characters, and therefore to the outright end of the game. Reddit user Mister TenthFinger cruelly learned this the hard way when he made a deadly mistake. Note that recounting your misadventure risks SPOILER important elements of the game. So continue at your own risk.
A game in Honor mode of Baldur’s Gate 3 Wither in the most terrible way
When trying to recruit Minthara without having to play a villainous character via a well-known exploit, Mister TenthFinger unfortunately started the confrontation poorly in his game of Baldur’s Gate 3 in Honor mode. His entire group perishes, with the exception of Karlach at 1 VP. He brought her back to camp to have the rest of the group resurrected by good old Blight. Generally, he provides somewhat innocuous advice before doing so: “ Step back ».
Mister TenthFinger didn’t listen to him and had Gale resurrected first. However, you may be aware that Gale does not turn into a simple corpse upon death, unlike the other playable characters in Baldur’s Gate 3. His body in fact becomes a sort of arcane atomic time bomb because of the Orb of Nothingness within him. Without carrying out a very complex magic ritual when Gale died and otherwise without regularly feeding her artifacts, she ends up exploding and ending the game (fortunately things improve if you continue your personal quest).
But before this happened in the part of Baldur’s Gate 3 in Mister TenthFinger’s Honor mode, he on the contrary quite stupidly ended his while Gale’s corpse was transported for a second before being brought back to life. Except that his deceased body emits a necrotic aura inflicting 1d4 damage per turn. As Karlach only had 1 HP left, she died before Gale was resurrected, thus opening the terrible window ” End of Game “. Next time, Mister TenthFinger might think twice before rushing to Withered to try to save his game of Baldur’s Gate 3 without thinking about healing himself first.
