Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Honor Mode run ends in disaster due to a potion of healing Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player learned the tough way not to use the healing potion in a particular situation during their Honor Mode run. The Honor Mode run in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 isn\u2019t for the reckless and impatient \u2013 and it\u2019s certainly not for those who easily give in to temptations. Things can get messy quickly with one wrong move, and there\u2019s no save-scumming to avoid the permadeath unless you\u2019re willing to go through hoops. We\u2019ve seen plenty of horror stories regarding failed Honor Mode runs, though, in this one player\u2019s case, it ended simply because of a healing potion. While certainly useful in battle, they\u2019ve learned the hard way not to throw this item recklessly. In a Reddit thread, they explained that it all started when they did an Honor Mode run \u201cwith a friend for fun\u201d since they\u2019d already beaten the game once. Despite being in a \u201chard-fought battle\u201d against Shambling Mound at level 7, they claimed they \u201calmost had it.\u201d That is until their \u201cGloom Stalker Rouge\u201d character threw a potion at Minthara to heal her. And this is when things started to go downhill. The player happened to be invisible, which ended up prompting a sneak attack, downing, and ending her immediately. \u201cUnfortunately, the rest of the party was also down, and the Shambling Mound killed me. So that\u2019s how I lost Honor Mode to a health potion.\u201d Some players flocking to the comments felt terrible for them, but there were also others who pointed out they learned an important lesson. And by the looks of it, the player isn\u2019t alone, as others have also learned this the \u201ctough\u201d way. One user wrote: \u201cI was trying to rescue Mayrina in Baldur\u2019s Gate, and I was wounding her every time I hit the voodoo doll that was cursing her\u2026. so I threw a health potion at her to heal her\u2026 but I apparently hit her in the head, and killed her! Reload\u2026\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not a mistake if you learned something,\u201d commented a different user before suggesting that the player should throw potions on the ground instead of people. The game will highlight them as long as they\u2019re in the splash zone. Another tip suggested by another is to set sneak attack on prompt instead of auto-trigger to avoid something like this from happening. Completing Honor Mode is no easy task, but players who can overcome the challenges will get to unlock D20 in-game skin and Foehammer achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
