Player collects explosive barrels for 1 minute fireworks for 8 hours

earthpressnews

Sometimes the effort players put into it is just amazing. Someone in Baldur’s Gate 3 in act 1 probably picked up every single keg and shipped them to a camp to blow up some unsuspecting goblins. Is that still smart or already chaotically evil?

This is the effort:

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 offers the opportunity to solve anything in any way imaginable.
  • This openness invites many players to let their creativity run free.
  • The player Okoii, for example, has painstakingly collected dozens of barrels in order to stack them, link them up and ignite them – for a minute of fireworks.

    • This is the blast: In a camp full of goblins in Act 1, Okoii set up dozens of barrels of smoke powder and oil – explosive barrels that you see in almost every game.

    The barrels are placed in such a way that they can ignite each other. A single bottle of Alchemist’s Fire is enough to set the entire camp ablaze:

    It is difficult to say whether these are all the barrels that are actually in the act. According to his own statements, the player spent 8 hours preparing the explosion and cutting the associated video.

    The explosion lasts just over a minute at the end, backed by Tchaikovsky’s Overture 1812, which, by the way, is played with real cannons as instruments. You can find the full video on YouTube, including four halfling barbarians in their underpants.

    If the halflings are a little too disturbing for you, here’s sex between a vampire and a bear instead:

    “It is wonderful”

    Okoii posted his video on both YouTube and the snippet on Reddit. Within hours, he received thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments from users celebrating the video.

    Biggest plus besides the obvious fireworks: the revival of “Barrelmancy.” This is a fan-developed school of magic that is based on causing as much damage and mischief as possible with barrels.

    The Barrelmancy actually comes from Divinity, the predecessor game from developer Larian. The idea here is that barrels are either made as heavy as possible and then thrown, or, like here, explode to cause doom.

    But Baldur’s Gate 3 goes one step further on the possibilities. The players use not only barrels and crates for the barrelmancy, but also directly their own druids:
