Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players shocked one NPC is avoided at all costs Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can\u2019t believe others avoid Bernard, a Construct NPC who guards the Underdark\u2019s Arcane Tower. Players who explore the Arcane Tower in Act One will meet Bernard on the top floor. The Construct guardian will only attack under certain circumstances, but, due to the difficulty of the fight, many players have decided to skip the encounter completely. Redditor JLapak counts as one such Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player, claiming Bernard\u2019s is the only battle they avoided during their Honour Mode run. The user explained in part, \u201cJust fought him in Tactician for the first time, and YIKES am I glad I skipped him in Honor; he just about took me apart.\u201d While several people in the comments agreed that leaving Bernard alone on harder difficulties is a smart choice, many others questioned the need to fight him at all. It\u2019s possible to encounter the Construct and walk away from him on a friendly note; Bernard\u2019s known to give out hugs, too. One popular comment under the post notes, \u201c\u2026you don\u2019t even have to fight him when you meet him. Just read some of the books. He can even hug you.\u201d Someone who\u2019s played Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 four times added, \u201cMe just sitting here like \u2018wait, people fight Bernard?’\u201d To make nice with Bernard, players must find command phrases written on documents scattered around Arcane Tower. Answering each of his questions with the correct answer will turn him passive, thus avoiding a fight. However, those who do face off against Bernard will have to best him in regular combat. One person in the Reddit thread suggested planting Sussur Flowers near the smaller robots to shut them down. From there, it\u2019s a matter of drawing Bernard to the building\u2019s edge, so Wyll can shoot him with an Eldritch Blast that knocks him off the ledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
