Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 book proves Mind Flayers can be bested by the \u201cpower of friendship\u201d Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player found a book that proved that Mind Flayers can defeated by \u201cthe power of friendship\u201d in Larian\u2019s in-depth RPG. Anyone who\u2019s played Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 knows that the Mind Flayers are the central threat that encompasses the player character and their party. The main setpiece of the prologue and the driving force of the game\u2019s narrative is to remove the Mind Flayer tadpole from each party member\u2019s head, as the threat will supposedly overtake the host and turn them into a Mind Flayer in due time. With this all-powerful threat looming over the party, some fans may be surprised to hear the strongest course of action against a Mind Flayer is a great group of friends, according to one in-game piece of lore. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 claim devs got meta with Mind Flayer book A post on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit titled, \u201cDevs got very meta with this book,\u201d shared a screenshot of one of the many in-game lore books. This particular book, called \u201cOn Psionic Manipulations and Countermeasures,\u201d goes into a \u201cthorough account of how best to protect your mind from illithid (or Mind Flayer) manipulation.\u201d According to the book, one of the best countermeasures one can take against a Mind Flayer, aside from outright avoiding one altogether, is to \u201cstrengthen your relationship with others.\u201d Fans were amused by the in-game tip, with many likening the phrase to popular tropes in media. \u201cDid they really just f*cking tell us that you can beat Mind Flayers with the power of friendship?\u201d asked one player. Another fan replied and noted that, in the instance of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and the powerful companions players can recruit, it doesn\u2019t sound so cliched. \u201cWhen those friends can murder anything into submission, I do believe the power of friendship is called for.\u201d Others noted that the description was indeed quite meta \u201cI know everyone\u2019s focusing on the \u2018don\u2019t trust a mind flayer\u2019 part, but I love the \u2018you need strong allies\u2019 part because it\u2019s basically the devs describing the way you should play the game.\u201d While Mind Flayers are no doubt a daunting threat throughout BG3, this book just hammers home how a little help from good friends can go quite a long way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
