Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Druids use broken Owlbear nukes to delete enemies Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s framework of fifth edition D&D allows for some of the most creative exploits we\u2019ve seen in a video game. The communities latest discovery has players using the game\u2019s own rules to hit for thousands of damage. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has had a historical launch eclipsing even the developer\u2019s wildest expectations. Players have flocked to the game in droves pushing it up the Steam charts to solidify it as an instant classic. The game\u2019s critical and commercial success is partially the result of how its D&D style of play maximizes player choice and agency. Now players are pushing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s rule system to new heights with Owlbear ordnance. Twitch streamer Ellohime laid out the strat in a clip published on Twitter which showed them dealing 821 damage with a Druid. The key to the combo is shapeshifting into an Owlbear and divebombing enemies. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 adapts D&D rules around gravity and mass which can be applied to the Crushing Flight class action to devastating effect. The heavier your form, the more damage you\u2019ll do with Crushing Flight, and the higher you fall from, the greater the impact area. As Ellohime illustrates, Increasing the considerable chonk of a five-tonne Owlbear with the Enlarge spell and stacking crates for a higher launch pad pushes the maneuver to its limits. It\u2019s a fantastic example of why people are so taken with Larian\u2019s RPG. Crushing Flight\u2019s damage is reduced by half if the target succeeds in a Strength saving throw which is exactly what Ellohime\u2019s victim did. This means the initial damage roll would have been a bone-crushing 1,642 bludgeoning damage. Reddit user Fishbleb used the same technique to one-shot a boss. Grym didn\u2019t stand a chance, even with a successful save he ate a massive 1,170 points of damage. Only time will tell if Ellohime will live to regret the creation of this devastating weapon of mass destruction. We imagine that much like the atomic bomb, the true ramifications of this invention are yet to be felt. Still, we\u2019re eager to see if anyone picks up the film rights to this historical moment. Owlbearheimer could smash box offices with the right crew behind it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
