Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player reveals the biggest threat to Honor Mode runs that isn\u2019t an enemy Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has determined one of the biggest threats to an Honor Mode run is a simple mechanic that can\u2019t even fight back: the elevators. Honor Mode is already a tough challenge, even for experienced players. Permadeath means that you have to take some serious precautions before every encounter, and if you aren\u2019t prepared for what\u2019s around the corner, your run is over. Obviously, the various boss fights throughout Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are some of the toughest parts of Honor Mode (looking at you, Cazador), but there are also quite a few less glorious ways for your run to be brought to an end. We\u2019ve seen runs ended by bugs, rogue companions, and even simply choosing the wrong dialogue option by accident. However, one player has outlined the true enemy of those attempting Honor Mode: elevators, specifically the ones in the gauntlet of Shar. These ones are weird and quirky, and not like the other elevators, so they move diagonally rather than up or down. Which would be fine, except for the glitch that sometimes throws your entire party into the instant death pit if they stand on it wierdly. One player described their near death experience on the Baldur\u2019s Gate subreddit, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened, but I just hit the Gauntlet of Shar and I\u2019ve had almost full party wipes twice to elevators. \u201cFirst, after completing the gauntlet and going to the elevator that takes you back up to the waypoint, only astarion was actually lifted by the elevator. When he took it back down, the elevator crushed the rest of the party. \u201cThen I get to the elevator that takes you to the lower area, and again, everyone but Astarion falls through it. Unfortunately, this time Tav and Karlach fell onto a small ledge and succeeded their death saves.. so they\u2019re unconscious but unreachable. If I can\u2019t find a way to kill or revive them, I\u2019ve just scrapped my honor run.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
