Scratch has the heart of practically everyone both in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and the huge community of players surrounding the game. After all, he\u2019s the best boy and is undeniably one of the most adorable companions you can get in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. However, since he\u2019s so lovable, many are hesitant to let him out of camp, with fears of his demise plaguing the minds of many fans. However, those fears can finally be let go thanks to one player who\u2019s issued a key combat PSA for everyone\u2019s favorite boy. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan reveals Scratch is completely safe in combat Sharing their PSA on Reddit, one user explained how \u201cApparently some people aren\u2019t aware that Scratch isn\u2019t harmed when he\u2019s summoned as a familiar. He\u2019s basically a construct, so don\u2019t worry about hurting him. He wants to help!\u201d Essentially, since Scratch counts as a familiar when you summon him into battle, if he falls he\u2019ll simply return to your camp instead of dying \u2013 meaning you can have man\u2019s best friend right by your side in epic battles without worrying about his demise. \u201cMy wife and I did an entire play-through where we never summoned scratch \u2019cause I did not know he would reappear. Just started our second playthrough and trying to see if I can emotionally deal with sending him into combat\u201d commented one player, proving it may still be a little tricky to see the adorable pup getting hurt. One fan took to the comments to give players a useful tip when using Scratch in combat: \u201cKey is to have him hide in the shadows. If one of your party goes down he can help them back up. That\u2019s how I use him! And the occasional one or two HP enemy that needs a good bite\u2019n.\u201d Others joked how you\u2019ll need to be careful when triggering combat in camp, highlighting how \u201cif combat is triggered in camp and scratch dies in camp then it is the real Scratch. And congrats you\u2019ve just begun John Wick.\u201d It\u2019s not exactly clear how Scratch can be considered as a construct instead of just being a good boy, but if it works in his favor and means he can\u2019t be killed in combat, then there are not many complaints to be had. Just be careful when he\u2019s in your camp, any fight there is devastatingly permanent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community reveals major combat feature for Scratch Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has highlighted a major Scratch feature that could change combat for tons of players.
