[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61959, member: 1"] The wonderful world of [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/baldurs-gate-iii']Baldur’s Gate 3[/URL] speedrunning leveled up once again this week with a new fastest time for an all acts completion of the game — and it was made possible thanks to a massive invisible bear. Baldur’s Gate 3 speedrunner Mae, who IGN has [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/how-baldurs-gate-3-was-completed-in-just-ten-minutes-by-a-speedrunner']reported[/URL] on [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-speedrunners-are-now-rushing-to-have-sex']multiple times[/URL] for various world records in Larian’s sprawling Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, has done it again, [URL='https://www.speedrun.com/baldurs_gate_3?h=any-no-gale-explorer&x=7kjyoe4k-r8re590l.1py7dzn1']setting the first sub-20 minute completion of all three acts[/URL]. Setting a [URL='https://youtu.be/mn1UZnU1QdU?feature=shared']verified, load removed time of 19m 20s[/URL], Mae employed many of the tactics that have fuelled Baldur’s Gate 3 speedruns over the last few months, such as leaping like a frog through much of the game, and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-speedrunners-are-stuffing-shadowhearts-corpse-in-a-box-to-break-world-records']stuffing poor Shadowheart’s corpse in a box[/URL] to trigger skips forward. But there’s a key difference this time: killing a boss as a 11,000 pound bear. Those familiar with Baldur’s Gate 3 will know that it’s possible to wildshape into various animals, including a bear. During the [URL='https://www.ign.com/wikis/baldurs-gate-3/Defeat_Ketheric_Thorm']Act 2 boss fight with Ketheric Thorm[/URL], Mae turns turns Shadowheart into a bear, casts Feather Fall on her, then Enhance Leap, then makes the bear even more massive by casting Enlarge on it. In Baldur’s Gate 3, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-owlbear-from-the-top-rope-deals-enough-damage-to-take-down-pretty-much-anything']the bigger you are, the harder you fall[/URL], and so this monstrous 5005kg bear falls pretty hard. All that’s left is for Shadowheart in bear form to down a Potion of Invisibility for uninterrupted movement around the arena, then, from a high vantage point, leap on top of the unsuspecting Ketheric for 120 points of bludgeoning damage. Rinse and repeat for phase two. This is a tactic Mae showed off during the recent [URL='https://youtu.be/seXnImnUrvo?feature=shared']AGDQ Baldur’s Gate 3 speedrun[/URL], but now in a world record time. It’s pretty impressive stuff.
