As Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players, we\u2019ve all had our own unlucky moments. Whether that\u2019s failing a check or accidentally killing an NPC by pulling the wrong windmill lever, things can go wrong on occasion. Of course, when players aren\u2019t happy with an outcome, they\u2019re free to save scum and redo the scenario all over again. However, it\u2019s a different story when you\u2019re playing Honor Mode, the hardest difficulty in-game that relies on autosave. There have been plenty of horror stories regarding failed Honor Mode runs in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, though this time, it\u2019s not because the player gave into temptation or the healing potion mechanic. Rather, it\u2019s because the player accidentally killed Scratch. \u201cSo this happened in the mountain pass campsite. I have this habit from other saves of using Fire Bolt to light the campfire before a long rest. Just a fun thing I do,\u201d they wrote in a Reddit thread. \u201cWell, this time Scratch passed between me casting and the campfire at just the right time, and was accidentally burned to a crisp.\u201d This ended up \u201cpissing off everyone in the camp,\u201d leading to all except the player\u2019s party members attacking. To top it off, the player\u2019s Honor Mode run was doing well before this accidental kill, as they had managed to recruit \u201ceveryone you can get in Act 1,\u201d including the Oathbreaker Knight. What happened after Scratch\u2019s demise was pure chaos. Gale died almost immediately, Lae-zel got killed by Karlach, and the Oathbreaker killed Tav and Karlach over the next two turns, followed by Shadowheart and Astarion getting killed too \u2014 all because the player wanted to use a cantrip to light their campfire. One user in the comments suggested that the player could\u2019ve stayed hidden until the hostile characters \u201cdeaggro,\u201d but others claimed that what ensued was deserved; \u201cYeah, that\u2019s what you get for attacking Scratch.\u201d Meanwhile, another wrote, \u201cThis is the kind of moment when your game suddenly crashes without enough time to save the progress\u2026\u201d referring to how you can bypass save scumming when playing Honor Mode. This isn\u2019t the first time the adorable dog has ended a player\u2019s campaign in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Previously, it has been made known that playing fetch with Scratch can also lead to bad consequences. Maybe it is best to stick to just petting him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Honor Mode run goes horribly wrong after \u201cinsane\u201d camp accident Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has learned the hard way during their Honor Mode run to be careful when using spells, especially while in camp.
