Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player devises speedrun for most frustrating part of the game Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has developed a new way to speed past one of the more annoying segments in the game, making repeat playthroughs much less tedious. Let\u2019s face it. The Gauntlet of Shar isn\u2019t the highlight of anyone\u2019s Baldur\u2019s Gate playthrough. There are a lot of frustrating tasks to get through, and even if it\u2019s your first time round, it\u2019s not quite as interesting as everything going on in Act 2. On repeat, each individual task only gets worse, because you already know the answers but still have to do it. Not to mention the fact that the Self-Same trial will always be as strong as your party is, so there\u2019s no way of out-leveling it. For some players, this part of the game has been a barrier to replaying Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, with one player on the forums describing the \u201cShar Olympics\u201d as the one part of the playthrough they always dread. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player creates speedrun for the \u201cShar Olympics\u201d Luckily for them, another player concocted speedy solutions to each of the puzzles inside the Gauntlet of Shar, with some of them taking advantage of the game\u2019s sometimes-shaky pathing mechanics. Their solution to the Soft-Step trial, which tests stealth, involves using Astarion\u2019s sneaking abilities to path around the maze. While this is the slowest solution of the three, it\u2019s still faster than having Karlach bump into the sentinels three times in a row. For the Self-Same trial, which is usually the longest, this strategy relies on sending the weakest fighter on the team (probably Shadowheart) in alone. And naked. Once her clone spawns in, it\u2019s just a matter of reequipping some weapons and beating the defenseless clone up. Finally, for the Faith Leap puzzle, this player suggests move-clicking on the right-hand corner of the final platform, because \u201cthe game\u2019s \u2018walk to\u2019 logic will auto-path over the safe tiles.\u201d It\u2019s still a hassle to go through the Gauntlet, but with these tricks, the trials should be a little easier for any budding Dark Justiciars.
