Can you only beat Honour Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3 with really terrible strategies? A YouTuber wanted to know – and the result hurts.

The Honour Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3 is considered to be a particularly difficult challenge. After all, you only have one save game and as soon as the group is wiped out, the game is over. Therefore, good planning and forward-thinking play are essential to master this difficulty.

Some strategies that are considered “cheesy” can help. But what happens if you only use such strange strategies? YouTuber Fracture shows you this and we promise: You will scratch your head several times.

What rules does he impose on himself? To ensure that the run remains as exciting as possible, Fracture has imposed a few special rules. These include:

  • Each strategy is used only once per run.
  • The characters are naked most of the time, with the only exceptions being when a strategy requires very specific equipment.

    • The result is that he is now forced to use as many different strategies as possible to overcome or avoid the battles in Baldur’s Gate 3.

    What strategies does he use? Anyone who expects only fair and honorable methods will now be proven wrong.

  • For example, he has one of his characters stand away from the fight and creates a puddle of poison on the ground. He dips a sausage (a mace) into it and then passes the poisoned sausage around to all the characters every time they are allowed to attack.
  • Another strategy is quite macabre. The group kills the mage Gale. Since Gale creates a necrotic aura when he dies, which damages everyone nearby, the corpse of the mage can be used as a weapon. Fracture puts Gale in a bag and throws it back and forth across the battlefield, dealing damage every time – infinitely many times per round.
  • Also bad: He first has the little Tiefling girl Arabella killed, only to then revive her in the Underdark – and attack the Druid Grove. Children do not participate in turn-based combat, so Arabella can kill absolutely anything without the fight progressing.
  • In the first village he completely robs the merchant using a trick: if you sell the merchant a bag, you can then put the merchant’s entire inventory into this bag and then pass it on to your own bag. This gives him plenty of equipment to master the start of the game.
  • Before the fight against the goblins in the camp, he reskills all of his characters and summons 4 magic hands, who then drink strength elixirs (don’t ask). They then rain down projectiles on the poor goblins without mercy.

    • Is all this intentional? Whether you consider all of these strategies “legal” or “fair” is up to you. Some tricks, such as the method of robbing a merchant with two bags without any resistance, would clearly count as exploits. Other methods, such as the “Gale in the Sack” are odd, but the developers have said many times that Baldur’s Gate 3 was made with the intention of getting fans to find odd ways that feel like exploits.
