Over the past few months, since Baldur’s Gate 3 released, we’ve seen all sorts of people make a mockery out of the game’s many tough boss fights, whether it be through exploding dead bodies or pockets full of flowers. There’s one streamer out there that has set out on a quest to embarrass all of them though, and has been systematically taking down all of Baldur’s Gate 3’s challenging opponents by themselves in a single turn.
This legendary streamer is called Luality (thanks GamesRadar) and has been uploading short videos of her adventures to her YouTube channel, showcasing her incredible knack of exploiting Baldur’s Gate 3’s systems to decimate her opponents. Playing as Minthara, Luality has been defying the game’s turn-based combat system by starting with a sneak attack to fire off multiple arrows and taking advantage of critical hits to destroy bosses such as Raphael, Ketheric Thorm, and many others.
Luality even manages to take down bosses that spawn annoying little minions to help the main bad guy. Against opponents such as Raphael and the fight at the House of Grief, instead of firing single arrows, Luality uses the Arrow of Many Targets to bounce her shots between enemies and fell them all in a single shot. That then leaves the big bad guy helpless to Luality’s remaining antics.
While I wish I could sit here and pretend to know exactly what Luality is doing to accrue so many Action Points in a single turn, I do not have the in-depth knowledge or qualifications to explain to you exactly how she’s managing it. What I do know is that she’s picked the correct class to do it with, and is using other tools such as Luck of the Far Realms and Executioner to get as many bonus critical hits as possible for that sweet, sweet damage.
You can check out even more absurd fights on Luality’s YouTube channel, which also has a series of Dark Souls 3 videos that have her taking down bosses with a dance pad, so you know this isn’t Luality’s first rodeo when it comes to this kind of content. She also has videos taking down Ketheric Thorm in a similar fashion, as well as multiple videos of her making her way through Baldur’s Gate 3 without any companions by her side.
In other Baldur’s Gate 3 news, we’re finally getting a physical version of the game next year, something which scalpers are already trying to sell at increased prices. Larian was swiftly on hand to burst their bubbles though, as it was confirmed that the physical edition is not limited in any way and that no fan needs to go through unofficial channels to get one.
