Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player creates Astarion \u201cskin\u201d straight out of The Last of Us Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player managed to create a mushroom zombie Astarion skin that looks like something from The Last of Us. The vast number of options for completing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2018s various quests opens up the door for lots of strange possibilities. Those who know the game well have found creative ways to manipulate the game\u2019s mechanics to create unique and interesting results. One player has even found a way to give Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion Astarion a spore-covered zombie form that look like something from the world of The Last of Us. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player kills Astarion to create \u201cZombified\u201d version Reddit user femboty shared an image of their work on the BG3 subreddit and explained how they managed to turn The Pale Elf into some kind of pseudo-Clicker. The spores came from recruiting the Myconid Sovereign Glut as a temporary companion and having him use Animating Spores on Astarion\u2019s corpse. Animating Spores only works on corpses and cannot be used on party members. This means that the player killed Astarion before recruiting him, carried his body around for most of Act 1, killed him again after Glut reanimated him, and used Revivify on him before asking him to join the party. When recruited, Astarion kept the spores on his body and the Spore Servant condition, creating an otherwise inaccessible \u201cskin\u201d of sorts. Given how this was done, theoretically, you could do this to any companion, provided they can be killed and revived before recruitment. Though it definitely takes some work \u2013 and means missing out on most of Act 1 with the companion or companions in question \u2013 this zombie Astarion does have some players considering if their next Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 playthrough will involve Circle of Spores Druids. However, femboty has cautioned others against zombifying their own Astarions, saying \u201cthe interactions are wacky, sometimes Astarion is in my party, but only if Glut is in it, and sometimes he is by himself, sometimes he\u2019s not in the party, but companions think he is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
