Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player warns of devastating Orphic Hammer bug in Honour Mode Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has warned fellow fans of an Orphic Hammer bug that softlocked them late in an Honour Mode run. The Orphic Hammer is a legendary war hammer that plays an integral part in BG3\u2019s third act. Most critically, the weapon is the only one capable of breaking the infernal crystals binding Orpheus to the Astral Prism. Fortunately, the game offers wiggle room to players who don\u2019t have the weapon on their person during the Astral Prism sequence. The first Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 patch added dialogue options for those who hadn\u2019t acquired the hammer and wanted to return later, for example. There\u2019s also a scene where Raphael will summon the weapon if it\u2019s \u201cmisplaced.\u201d One player recently encountered a glitch that prevented them from advancing the Orphic Hammer part of the plot. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player warns of Orphic Hammer glitch A BG3 fan recounted their Honour Mode mistake in a Reddit post that also doubles as a warning to others. The player said they softlocked themselves in the mode after accidentally leaving the Orphic Hammer in camp with Shadowheart. Worst still, they\u2019d already entered the Astral Prism and couldn\u2019t leave to retrieve the missing weapon. Because of Honour Mode, reloading an old save was also no longer an option. \u201cThe scene with Raphael when you \u2018misplace\u2019 the Orphic Hammer didn\u2019t trigger, and if I approach Orpheus there is only one dialogue option: 1. (end),\u201d they wrote. Due to this particular bug, the player had no choice but to rely on PC mods to escape the Astral Prism. Fellow Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players in the comments said they\u2019ve also encountered Orphic Hammer problems. One person noted: \u201cOMG, this mistake is so easy to make!! Gave me shivers. They should have some fix so it doesn\u2019t happen. I\u2019m sorry for your run.\u201d Another user said they repeatedly checked their inventory during their Honour Mode playthrough, specifically because they\u2019d heard of similar glitches. \u201cI made sure to double and triple-check that the hammer was with me when I did my Honour Mode run because of posts like these,\u201d they said. It\u2019s not known if Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios is aware of the error. But here\u2019s to hoping a fix goes live sooner rather than later. If a similar glitch plagues the PlayStation and Xbox versions, PC mods won\u2019t solve the problem like they did for the Reddit user above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
