Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player crushed after failing Honor Mode during epilogue Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player made it painfully close to completing Honor Mode but was crushed after losing their run during the epilogue party. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2018s greatest challenge is Honor Mode, a punishing maximum difficulty setting in which players must complete the game with a single save file and lose all progress if their party goes down. Since the mode was released as part of Patch 5, there have been plenty of stories of people succeeding or failing in shocking ways. Some have made it incredibly close before losing on the final boss, while others managed to win in ways that don\u2019t feel particularly victorious. However, one player may be the first to lose an Honor Mode run after beating the final boss and during another popular Patch 5 addition: Withers\u2019 epilogue party. Note, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 end-game spoilers to follow. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player loses Honor Mode after beating final boss As shared by Reddit user kittykalista, their Honor Mode run ended after defeating the Netherbrain. Ahead of the final battle, the player chose to sacrifice Gale and let their character transform into a mindflayer. Everything seemed to be going smoothly throughout the battle and party until the very end when \u201cAs I finish speaking to the last companion, the narrator says how hungry I am.\u201d At this point, the player had to make dice rolls to \u201cresist eating my companion\u2019s brain,\u201d which they failed. Thinking they were in the clear during the epilogue, the players didn\u2019t attempt to reroll with inspiration. That ended up being a mistake, as the entire camp became aggressive as a result of the brain-eating attempt. The player assumed Withers would intervene the way he does if the player killed anyone during his party, but he did nothing, allowing the party to kill the player. After reloading the file and rolling the credits, the player only received the Ceremorphosis achievement for turning into a mindflayer, meaning they\u2019ll need to try again to get the coveted Foehammer and golden dice. It seems pretty fair to say this is, as the poster put it, \u201cthe worst possible way to lose an honor run\u201d \u2013 something the seemingly endless thread of \u201cF\u201ds in the comments attests to. If any good can come from this, it\u2019s the lesson that you can never let your guard down in Honor Mode, even if you\u2019ve reached the epilogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
