Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shares simple workaround for defeating Balthazar boss Larian StudiosIn their many attempts to defeat Balthazar, one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player stumbled upon a method that rids the boss of his allies. Balthazar\u2018s spellcasting abilities secure him a spot among the most challenging bosses in the game. But players continue to find ways to dispatch the Act 2 foe, most notably by exploiting his biggest weakness \u2013 an overreliance on spells. The latest find comes courtesy of Bwomprocker, a Reddit user who said they spent three hours struggling against the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 boss. After many battles, the player realized Balthazar never spawned in his skeletal allies at random. On the contrary, he could summon extra enemies based on the number of corpses lying on the battlefield. This revelation helped the Redditor devise a \u201cmega cheese,\u201d wherein they had \u201cLae\u2019zel move almost all the corpses to a corner and push them off.\u201d With the bodies gone from the map, Balthazar lost the ability to summon more friends, making the fight easier for Bwomprocker to overcome. Several people in the thread applauded the Redditor for figuring out a \u201cvery nice workaround.\u201d Others also shouted developer Larian\u2019s praises, specifically for providing players with \u201cso many options\u201d to navigate obstacles. Meanwhile, numerous users in the thread highlighted a few other ways players can cheese the boss battle. For example, a trick involving Sussur plants renders Balthazar\u2019s powers of necromancy completely useless. Someone else mentioned that their stealthier approach also worked like a charm. \u201cI just [snuck] up behind him with Karlach and stunned him for 2 turns before the dialogue. Proceeded to use my rogue to get sneak melee attacks. Worked insanely well,\u201d the person commented. As with nearly everything else in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, there are multiple ways to get past Balthazar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
