Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Fighter solos the game\u2019s toughest boss in 2 turns Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 Fighters can seem underpowered compared to their spell-casting counterparts. Put those concerns to rest because one player has used the class (and a bunch of magic items) to brutalize the game\u2019s hardest boss. Spoilers for Act 3 ahead. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 allows for some tremendously exciting min-maxing opportunities. Players have already stacked ridiculously high AP and used a combination of spells and D&D logic to make Owlbear nukes. That D&D logic also impacts the game\u2019s 12 classes. Its adherence to the 5th edition ruleset means that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Fighters suffer the same late-level drop-off in power that the martial classes do on the tabletop. This is usually mitigated through multi-classing. Don\u2019t get us wrong, Fighters are still tough as nails in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and one player has proven it beyond a doubt. Content creator Thorusin has uploaded a YouTube video in which they use a Fighter mulch an exceedingly tough late-game boss in just two turns. Using a Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Fighter to delete a boss To melt away Raphael\u2019s 666 hitpoints, Thorusin relies on a few key items. Chief amongst them is the Gontr Mael, a legendary +3 bow that grants Haste (3 extra attacks) and the Guiding Bolt debuff to a target for free advantage rolls. It\u2019s used in combination with an Amulet of Branding to apply a weakness to piercing damage for double damage. The final ingredient is Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Fighter\u2019s ability to pump out nine attacks in a single turn from a melding of Haste, Action Surge, and standard attacks. Thorusin starts by firing off an Arrow of Fiend Slaying dipped in Crawler Mucus Poison to paralyze Raphael. They then use a guaranteed crit from their Killer\u2019s Sweetheart Ring for an impressive 122 damage and spend their remaining seven actions feathering Raphael with arrows. By the end of Thorusin\u2019s Fighter\u2019s first turn, Raphael has a measly 80 hit points remaining and can\u2019t act due to paralysis. They clean up the rest on their second turn with an Arrow of Many Targets for a two-turn massacre. The disparity between Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Fighter class and the other more magically inclined options can be easily remedied by their unparalleled actions per turn. No multi-classing needed.
