Some of the most difficult fights in Baldur’s Gate 3 become trivial if you have the right tools with you. One of these tools is a skill that only one class knows and is ignored by many players. To be more precise: not even the class itself can do this, but its companion.
What kind of class is this?
This is the powerful skill: The only specialization that is already strong in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the Beast Master – or in English: Beast Master. Rangers can choose a companion as a Beast Master from level 3.
The bear is particularly exciting here. Bears are powerful melee fighters who can hit hard and take good hits at the same time. They act as a kind of tank among the animal companions. What makes them particularly interesting is their “Honeyed Paws” abilities.
The skill disarms an enemy, similar to the Fighter’s disarming attack, Heat Metal or Command: Drop from some casters. The command in particular is now considered a mandatory skill among veterans.
However, the bear’s ability has a decisive advantage. Unlike the other abilities, Honey Claws do not have a saving throw. This means that if the bear hits its target, the weapon is guaranteed to be gone. This makes some of the most difficult fights a walk in the park.

“The most underrated class in the game”
The “Honeyed Paws” have been a kind of insider tip among players since the game was released. For the first time, they were discussed in great detail and in great detail on Reddit. Because one player found out that the skill works on the final boss of the second act.
The boss, which we won’t name for spoiler reasons, is actually a massive creature. It never occurred to most players that they could even be disarmed. Without his weapon, the boss is essentially useless and can be defeated without any problems. It is considered one of the most difficult passages, especially in honor runs.
On Reddit, users agree that the Beast Master is perhaps the “most underrated class in the game” because of the bear alone. However, you have to build the team accordingly, users explain in other discussions. And you have to know exactly how to play the ranger and his companion.
By the way, the ranger is possibly the weakest class, but not the least popular. According to statistics, the cleric plays the least role among players. Clerics have some of the best builds around: The least played class in Baldur’s Gate is one of the strongest and I love it too
