Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players confused by Monk\u2019s bizarre ice cube ability Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are questioning why one specific ability in the Monk class even exists. Like every other class in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, players have gotten incredibly creative when crafting Monk builds to suit their playstyle. Shortly after the game\u2019s launch, one person created a Monk\/Rogue multiclass that made for an unstoppable force on the battlefield. Some players have found their build experimentations lacking, though, thanks in no small part to seemingly useless abilities. Reddit user gankfrombush highlighted as much in a post that called the relevance of the \u2018Shaping of the Ice\u2019 ability into question. This action lets Way of the Four Elements Monks summon ice cubes from thin air. Based on the Redditor\u2019s comments, they have yet to find a worthwhile use for the block described as a \u201cclimbable ice cube.\u201d As suggested by its description, this skill is best employed when players need to gain higher ground. One person replying to the thread called it \u201cportable elevation, so your Eagle Heart Barbarian always has the option to attack enemies from the top rope.\u201d However, the cube\u2019s functionality is not solely limited to climbing. Players can also drop the chunk of ice on enemies, block doors with it, trigger pressure plates, and use it as cover when engaging in stealth. In addition, someone in the post\u2019s comments said the ice works well as a \u201cfloatation device\u201d in games of Dungeons & Dragons. While discussing the versatility of the Monk\u2019s cube ability in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, users didn\u2019t miss a chance to throw in a few Portal-related Companion Cube jokes. \u201cThe Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak,\u201d reads one such response, which has more upvotes than the original post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
